Muffler and Exhaust Service

Muffler and Exhaust Service at Stanley Auto Group

Your engine is constantly intaking air in order to run, but when that air has nowhere to go, you’re going to start to run into some pretty significant problems. Your exhaust system is vital to both your car’s performance and the environment, so when you feel that your system may be compromised, you’re going to want to bring your vehicle in for service. When you need a mechanic’s opinion around Pilot Point, Gilmer, or Brownfield, you’re going to want to schedule a service with Stanley Auto Group.

Your Exhaust System

Your exhaust system consists of many smaller parts, which all help to reduce your emissions while ensuring that you have stellar performance. The main parts of this system consist of the exhaust valve and piston, the tailpipe, the exhaust pipe, the muffler, the catalytic converter, and the exhaust manifold. When you bring your vehicle in for service, our mechanics will be able to find where you’re having trouble so that you can return to the road without having to worry about leaks or damage. If you feel like your vehicle’s exhaust system might be compromised, it’s important to schedule an immediate service as depending on the damage, toxic gasses may even be able to find their way into your cabin. While the exhaust system is important for the environment, it may cap your performance when it’s not working to the best of its ability.

Detecting Damage

While there are a lot of working parts in your system, the muffler is one of the easier parts to diagnose. When you’re driving, you’re sure to hear when there’s a problem. Your exhaust system will sound much louder, and you may even experience engine rattling and misfiring. When your engine begins to have these problems, it’s important to schedule an immediate service so that you don’t risk any damage. You may also notice odd smells or condensation on your exhaust pipe, which is a clear sign that something isn’t working correctly. When your muffler is damaged, you’re also opening up the possibility of an exhaust leak, which can be incredibly dangerous. It’s important to keep a close eye on your vehicle so that you don’t accidentally expose yourself to harmful substances.

A Simple Service

When you replace your muffler, you won’t have to worry about another replacement for an average of 40,000 to 80,000 miles. Your muffler may fail sooner if it's exposed to harsh conditions, so it’s important to keep a close eye on this part, as it’s one of the few parts of your exhaust system that you can easily see. When your muffler is replaced, our mechanics will make sure to check the other parts of your system so that you don’t run into any problems when you leave the lot. If any damage is spotted, you’ll be swiftly notified before you wind up back on the road. When you need a service that you can trust, you’re going to want to rely on Stanley Auto Group.
