El Camino Mufflers

Armando work is excellent! He replaced my stock mufflers with street max mufflers and my Lincoln sounds excellent, not annoying loud. Highly recommended.

My 1997 Saturn SL2 was not passing smog and I had been trying all of the inexpensive fixes. My numbers did get better and the car felt as if it were running better, but my hydrocarbon numbers for the 15 mile and hour test were still 6 points too high. The only thing left was to replace my catalytic converter. I had gone to El Camino Mufflers 6 years ago and had my catalytic converter replaced when my check engine light went on. (This time the light was not on.) He did a great job then, but I had to wait a couple of days for the part. This time when I pulled up he wasn't busy. It was during the day on a week day. He told me that the prices for catalytic converters had gone way up, which I knew, and it would cost a lot more than $200.00 like 6 years ago. Fortunately, he was able to get a catalytic converter that fit my car delivered in about 20 minutes, and in less than an hour he replaced it. He found me a chair to sit on while I waited. It did cost me $695 this time which I had expected. He showed me the old one and it was full of carbon and explained to me that all old cars burn a little oil and carbon builds up in the catalytic converters. He said I would likely need a new one in 2 years the next time I needed it smogged. I took the car back to the smog check place and my car passed with flying colors. I highly recommend this shop.

Amazing work and expertise. After having my factory resonator removed there was too much drone. Armando recommended some aftermarket ones and installed them within an hour. Love the reduced drone but still have the aggressive note under throttle

The best muffler/exhaust system shop I have seen so far in the SF Bay Area, IMHO. Armando may not talk much, but he knows what he is doing, and he is doing it well, with precision and high quality. I can tell by the way he put the exhaust support (did not need any re-adjustment and kept the exhaust very steady throughout the whole process) and I can tell by the quality of his welding seams - he knew very well what size wire, speed and current to use to get that those super clean welds. In and out in less than 15 min, and with great feeling of a job well done. The only regret I have is I have not discovered El Camino Mufflers and Armando much, much earlier :) Thank you Armando and all the best!

I had my catalytic converter stolen on my 2006 Honda Accord in 2021. I went to El Camino Muffler for a replacement and the guy working there or the owner gave me two options: one aftermarket catalytic converter and one (OEM). I told him wanted OEM parts, and he went with it. However, yesterday I had the engine light come on, so I took the car to another shop for a check-up. They found that the sensor connecting to the catalytic converter was not working, and I also learned that the catalytic converter was aftermarket, not OEM. This guy can deceive you, so take your vehicle somewhere else. I'll leave it to God (He's the best judge in the world). Stop deceiving people! The price was charged $1500 for the OEM
