Professional Exhaust and Muffler Repair in Burnaby
Exhaust and muffler service covers inspecting, diagnosing, and repairing or replacing the parts of your vehicle's exhaust system, from the muffler and exhaust pipes to the catalytic converter, hangers, and brackets. We check for leaks, confirm everything is aligned and secure, and make sure the system is quiet, clean, and performing the way it should.
Signs You Need Exhaust or Muffler Repair in Burnaby
Hissing or whistling noise
A hissing or whistling sound from under the car usually points to a hole or leak somewhere in the exhaust system.
Check engine light on
An exhaust fault, from a failing catalytic converter to an oxygen sensor or a leak in the piping, can trigger the check engine light. A diagnostic scan reads the stored code so we can pinpoint the cause.
Vibrations through the wheel, pedals, or seats
A leak, or a muffler that has come loose, can send vibration through the steering wheel, pedals, or seats as you drive.
Reduced fuel efficiency
A restriction like a clogged catalytic converter, or a leak in the system, makes the engine work harder and burn more fuel than it should.
Loss of power or dark smoke from the tailpipe
A blocked or damaged exhaust, a crushed pipe, or a failing catalytic converter can rob the engine of power and show up as dark smoke from the tailpipe.
These symptoms can have other causes too, so we inspect and confirm the problem before repairing anything.
Muffler Welding and Custom Exhaust Repair in Burnaby
Not every exhaust problem needs a full replacement. In many cases, we can weld a detached muffler, patch a rusted section of pipe, or repair a cracked flange, which saves you money over replacing the whole assembly. We also handle custom and aftermarket work, from refitting a factory muffler to sorting out a noisy aftermarket setup, done properly so it is quiet, secure, and road-legal.
Catalytic Converter Repair and Replacement in Burnaby
The catalytic converter keeps your emissions in check, and when it fails, you may see a check engine light, lose power, or notice a rotten-egg smell. We diagnose the converter, confirm whether it can be repaired or needs replacing, and fit the right part for your vehicle so it runs clean and passes the way it should.
Is an Exhaust Leak Dangerous?
It can be. Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, and a leak can let fumes reach the cabin. If you smell exhaust inside the car, open the windows and have the system checked right away.
Benefits of a Healthy Exhaust System
A leak-free exhaust lets the engine breathe, which supports better fuel economy and smoother power. A sound muffler keeps the ride quiet, a working catalytic converter keeps emissions low, and staying on top of small repairs helps the whole system, and your vehicle, last longer.

What drivers say about our exhaust & muffler services
Needed to add back the stock muffler on a used BMW I just bought that the previous owner muffler deleted. Trying to find a place that would do the work at a fair price and properly. Mike told me to bring in the car, put it on the lift and told me he could get the job done the same day. Happy with the job well done at a reasonable price, now I can enjoy the drive without my ears ringing. Thanks Mike and KMF Auto!
They fixed my detached muffler with solid welding and handled my winter tire change smoothly. Friendly staff, fair pricing, and very reliable work.
For months my Civic vibrated and sounded like a mini tractor after being serviced by my dealership. I was told first that it was my fault because of an aftermarket exhaust tip (that had been there for years), then told that they could fix it, then told it was actually “normal” all along when they couldn’t fix it. My problem was solved within 2 hours of coming here, I can listen to music in peace and my exhaust tip lived to fight another day. Great service and great price, I’ll be coming her for regular car servicing after my warranty is up.
FAQ
Questions about exhaust & muffler services
Don't see your question? Call the shop — we're happy to talk it through before you book.
604-438-0222What are the signs of an exhaust or muffler problem?
A hissing or whistling noise, the check engine light, vibrations through the steering wheel, pedals, or seats, lower fuel economy, a loss of power, or excessive or dark smoke from the tailpipe.
Is an exhaust leak dangerous?
It can be. Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, and a leak can let fumes reach the cabin. If you smell exhaust inside the car, open the windows and have the system checked right away.
Can you weld a muffler or exhaust pipe instead of replacing it?
Often, yes. If the damage is a detached muffler, a small rust hole, or a cracked flange, a proper weld or section repair can restore the system for less than a full replacement. We inspect first and tell you which option makes sense.
Do you repair catalytic converters and exhaust pipes?
Yes. Our exhaust service covers the muffler, the exhaust pipes, the catalytic converter, and related parts. We inspect and diagnose the system, then repair or replace only what is needed.
How long does an exhaust or muffler repair take?
A minor muffler weld or inspection usually takes 30 to 60 minutes, while a full system or catalytic converter job can take longer. We give you a clear time and cost estimate before any work starts.
Can an exhaust problem turn on the check engine light?
Yes. A failing catalytic converter, an oxygen sensor fault, or a leak in the piping can all trigger it. A diagnostic scan reads the stored code so we can pinpoint the cause.
