Charlotte Harbor Exhaust & Auto Service - Port Charlotte (FL)

5 /5 john morrissey: Yes i have a 1980 Pontiac trans am indy pace car. Scott and his team found that i severe muffler damage. At this time they felt that the dual tail pipes are alright and did not need replacing. I brought it in at 8:30 and i got it back end of that day. Yet he had so many cars to work on. They’re a great team. I recommend going there for any of your car concerns. Talk to scott.

5 /5 Darth Fader Productions: I brought my 2009 Hyundai Genesis 4.6 to these guys. The technician that was working on my car was an ex Hyundai mechanic so he knew a lot about my car and he was very helpful and extremely professional and knowledgeable. The manager and other employees of the shop were very polite and helpful. Im on a fixed budget and they were trying their best to work with me and giving me the estimate prices. I was able to get a diagnostics and then have that put towards the work that I had done. They were able to replace a PCV valve in my car which solved my engine light issue and other issues I had. Their prices are very reasonable to whats going on around town these days and at least it feels like I can trust these guys from what Ive seen with other mechanics.. they have very good diagnostics software that they upload their results to and let you look at it online so you can go back and see what they found about your vehicle they were very thorough which I appreciate.. many times I bring my vehicle to a location and the shop will just ignore everything I tell them thats wrong and not even tell me whats going on until Ive already paid for the car and now here I am driving away with a half broken car.. these guys made sure I knew everything that was going out with my car before I pulled away and gave me the option to say yes or no to my repair instead of just repairing it.. The one thing I liked is the technician even took my car for a ride after he repaired it which I feel like most places dont do these days and just let you drive off with a broken car.. I very much appreciate their business and I will be bringing my car there each time that I can afford it.. Update 12/9/24 I went back again a few days ago to gave a window regulator done on my car. They installed it for me with no issue even though the part i bought was broken in the box they rigged it with parts off the old part. They really go above and beyond and I appreciate them so much. I am on a very fixed budget and it was nice to be able to have my car fixed within my budget they will work with your own parts but for warranty purposes you should really go with their own parts. Update March 5th 2025.. Ive come back multiple times for issues that have arose as Ive been driving for Uber. After around 12,000 mi in 2 to 3 months Ive had them diagnosed and inspect the car multiple times theyve always been clear and honest about everything they find. Ive had them replace a headlight bulbs, air filter, and EVAP plug connector, may re-emergency brake that split open, and a few other issues here and there and every time they take care of it and they do their best to take care of me as fast as possible. This is a very busy shop so I definitely suggest making sure you have the day or two to have your car taken care of. I have never had a most honest and reliable shop before in my life. Their prices are unbeatable for the amount of work that they actually do and provide along with professionalism. My father was a mechanic for 50 years and taught me a lot of things since Ive gotten a little older and bigger Im not able to really work on my car as much as I would like and these guys are the next best thing from working on your car yourself. My next step will be getting Scotty to put an exhaust on my car.. Ive had my exhaust done at the shop for the last 16 years

5 /5 whoohaaXL: Been going here for custom exhaust for 20 years. ALWAYS excellent work, friendly staff, reasonable prices. Since the last time I was there, I found out they do full service as well! Just had an axle back done on my BMW by Scotty. 10/10! Im in love with it! Looks and sound! I always leave a thoroughly satisfied customer. Scotty was a joy to be around and worked with me. Since my last time there, prices have gone up everywhere, what with the economy and what-not, totally understandable. This was definitely fair and just. Would give more stars if I could. Just hope they remember to hold onto my stock muffler, as I forgot it, but called about it. Second picture is finished product, looks stock, doesnt sound it! ;)

5 /5 pavel sennikov: Replaced the whole piece from resonator to the end for just $642 - I think it’s a good deal. This is great. The truck is unbelievable quiet. It used to sound like a train. Now I can barely hear it running. And more power!!! Good job.

5 /5 Phillips James “Jim”: Scotty did the exhaust pipe modifications and Jason, the Service Manager, were both very professional. Scotty listened to my input (suggestions) and I left happy with the results of what he did. I would highly recommend them and would use them again.
