First rate muffler service. Easy and convenient online appointments and very professional service. Hands down the best muffler shop I have patroned. Kevin installed a Borla cat-back exhaust system on my Corolla Hatchback and I couldn't be more pleased. First class welds and awesome attention to detail.

Showed up 15 mins early for my appointment. They diagnosed my resonator was the issue when the engine was under load and at about 1400 rpms.
I was out of there in an hour.
Excellent service and great front desk (receptionist) knowledge.
I have been going there on and off for 30 years when I needed a muffler solution

I called Ed Hansons for a Quote and they were 40% cheaper than the other muffler shops I called. Plus I received anther 10% off with their coupon. It took 40 minutes for them to install it. No extra cost for anything.

The folks at Ed Hanson's diagnosed and repaired my leaky heat riser in my vintage car at very reasonable cost. Not only is the engine much quieter, the engine runs much smoother, and the increase in throttle response is dramatic. It feels like I gained 50 horsepower ! Big thanks for their expertise and courtesy. Joe Vissers

I wish I could rate this business higher then 5 stars. Extremely rare to find a business that doesn't try to take advantage of you. We brought our full size RV to get the exhaust system checked having been told by several mechanics it was the source of some random engine stalls. They got us right in & checked it and said no problems here you're good to go. Could have easily did unneeded repairs but did not. Highest caliber service I would easily travel 100s of miles for their service.

Well, let me start by saying i have never provided a review for any business. Maybe that's because before now, I never felt compelled to do so.



I needed help building an exhaust system for my 1940 Ford hot rod which I had just spent every day of the last 10 months meticulously building from the ground up. I first called a few speed shops and though many of them did exhaust systems, they all referred me to Ed Hanson's for custom work. My experience began when I called Ed's and had the pleasure of explaining my situation to Barbie, who confirmed that in fact I had come to the right place, assuring me that I would be well taken care of.



Arriving at my scheduled appointment, Barbie greeted my and introduced me to Kevin, an employee of 28 years and the mechanic/artist that would be sculpting an exhaust system worthy of my project. A few minutes later I was introduced to an unassuming man by the name of Ed Hanson. Ed immediately reminded me of my father; energetic, engaging and most of all, proud of his work, and his "family" of employees at the business he had built over more than 3 decades.



I went over the car with Kevin, explained to him my wants and needs, and listened as he described how he would go about crafting my exhaust. Convinced that Kevin was the right artist for the job, I began to meander about the shop. I met Joe, another artist that's worked for Ed for more than 30 years and watched as he sculpted a meticulous exhaust system for a customer's near new Range Rover. I also continued my conversation with Ed. We talked about life, his family, his other "family" and his business. Ed is a very gracious person and took time out of his busy day (he was fixing the hydraulics on one of his many pipe benders) to talk with me about any subject I cared to bring up, and the more I learned about Ed the more I liked this man.



Meanwhile, Kevin continued working his brand of magic on my car, occasionally calling me over to discuss his thoughts on any one of a myriad of little obstacles encountered on my particular installation. As Kevin was clearly well versed and knew exactly what he was doing, I wisely chose to follow his advice. Kevin was tasked with routing my exhaust up and through the frame with just 3/16" clearance around the pipe. The pride Kevin takes in his work and his attention to every detail showed as Kevin worked tirelessly to create the perfect exhaust system for my ride.



I could not have been more pleased with the work Kevin did and highly recommend Ed's to anyone that needs work done on their exhaust system. In fact, I look forward to taking my son's classic 67 Camaro there next and having the opportunity to visit with Ed and his "family" again. Thank you again Ed, Kevin, Joe and Barbie for such a wonderful experience!!!

I dropped my car off at night. He checked it out and had an estimate before I even called in, had it fixed by the end of the day.

Got a quote on the phone by Ed...

Got a quote on the phone by Ed, he took the time out to discuss all my exhaust needs for my car. I set up my appointment for my cat back system on my car and was excited to get the work done. I arrived for my 7:30 appointment and they put my car up as soon as I arrived and started working on it. What was suppose to be an 11/2 job ended up taking 2 1/2 hours because the mechanic I had kept leaving my job and working on cars that came in off the street as well as he stopped to get him something to snack on at the gas station next door. The job turned out good and Ed was really nice, I just don't think he should of allowed his mechanic to stop what he was doing when I had a scheduled appointment, my time is very important and because of this guy stopping and going on my car my entire day had to be rearranged due to the extra time this appointment needed. Very disappointed in the professionalism of the shop.
