Need For Speed Muffler & Automotive 815 Chestnut Street, Bastrop, TX 78602

"This shop is the best hands down. I have taken my 98 dodge to them a few times. They never cease to amaze me. Courteous honest, won't sell you things you don't walks you through every step and takes time to explain."

"Review readers: Expect a litany of excuses from the owner - as he makes them with all his negative reviews. Sept 2023 Update: MORE issues introduced by this shop. The neutral safety switch harness was routed incorrectly and the 4-wheel drive shaft. Harness is now worn through, photos attached. I sure did bring a vehicle to you - and spent over ~$11,000 at NFS Bastrop. You not only couldn't figure out what was causing the issues with transmission limp mode (even after calling an "expert" in to assist you). You then blanketly recommended I replace the transmission, and as it turned out, that didn't fix the problem - though you initially claimed it did. I fixed that problem by bringing you the old computer, as I had told you for months the issue smelled of a software/computer issue. As soon as the computer was re-installed the transmission limp mode was fixed - through my diagnosis, not yours. That cost me $5,000. Additionally, you failed to repair the "death wobble" and only replaced tie rod, drag link and steering stabilizer. What actually fixed the issue was replacing the ball joints and a new track bar. You also "fixed" several oil leaks. I've attached pictures of the oil pan leaks you "fixed." The leaks began after less than 1,000 miles. These faulty repairs cost me an addition $3,800. You also repaired my exhaust manifolds - I'd love to post a video of the exhaust leaks that are still present, most likely due to a faulty gasket. The only thing you fixed that has not needed re-repair is the upper intake manifold and tie rods. There were other issues too: Dent and deep scratch on my hood near the driver's side hinge, broken ECU connectors, scratches on the hood from laying the hood directly on the front window frame (a shop rag would have prevented that), air leaks from under the console due to sealing of the console after the transmission work. Shoddy work all the way around - and I actually hate to make this post because your team was quite friendly during this extended time (1 year). But at the end of the day, the work was faulty and you cost me an enormous amount of money on repairs that didn't need to be made at the time. Total additional cost I've made to fix NFS work: $8,800. Sept 2023 additional cost update: $9,500."

"I found some used Flowmaster super 10's that I wanted put on my 2014 ram. I went in to get an estimate to remove the existing muffler and weld on the two used mufflers. It was going to be a simple job. Price was less than half of what other places charge. Then I mention I wanted to go ahead and remove the resonators and he said $60 more, really fair price as other places charge and arm and a leg. I was finally able to find time to get it done. They gave me a time frame it would take to complete the work and they finished in the time I was told. Well, after realizing that removing the existing muffler and welding on two more mufflers was not what was best, they decided to do a true dual exhaust system, which means each muffler would have its own pipe and muffler from the headers to the exhaust tip. True dual exhaust systems are very expensive. It was to my surprise that they actually didn't upcharge me a penny and honored the price I was quoted. You can't find service like that now a days. This place deserves 10 stars!!! Update, recently took my brother car to do custom dual tips on his exhaust."
