Asked to remove the rear-most muffler (of 2 in the car) and install an exhaust pipe following the same path. The pictures speak for themselves. Quoted $80, charged $120. 6 exhaust leaks were found. When I went back the same day and asked for a refund due to the inability to fix this bad of a screw up, Darryl argued with me for 20 minutes trying to convince me that this was quality work and refused to refund. He did offer to "fix" the leaks which consisted of two quick welds to seal a few of the holes. But after driving for a day the leaks were back. Put the car up on a Hoist and took the following photos. Ended up cutting out the pipe and found that whoever installed the pipe crushed and stuffed the new piping into the old piping about an inch creating a restriction in exhaust flow. Furthermore this blunder caused the exhaust gasses to force themselves through the already poor welding making more exhaust leaks. I would ask them to redo it. But I dont trust Budget to even look at my car after this example of their workmanship. 0/10 would not do again.

Just had an excellent experience with Darryl at Budget Brake and Muffler. He was able to inspect and fix my muffler quickly and inexpensively. He was recommended to me by my dad who first went there over ten years ago (my dad was so impressed with the service he even remembered Darryls name) and when I got there I saw lots of team photos on the wall for soccer and hockey teams they have sponsored. Highly recommended great local service!

Darryl has been the most honest and forthright mechanic i have found since moving to the area. When I have gone to most mechanics in the Comox Valley I have ended up with bills far exceeding the quotes, even for things I didnt ask to get fixed. Darryl has usually come in under budget and doesnt try to upsell me on things I dont need. I send all my friends and neighbours to him.

Had my first experience with mechanic nightmares at two local shops. Budget Brake and Muffler came to the rescue, actually took the time to look my truck over and get to the root of the problem! My truck was repaired quickly with them, they were kind and had excellent communication through the process. Next time I go here first and save myself some money and stress!

I have had the vehicle my truck in at this shop several times since I purchased the vehicle (rolling restoration), and every single time Ive needed something, theyve gone above and beyond to accommodate me, and have always done top quality work. I would recommend these guys to anybody in the local area!

A good experience here. Went in with grinding brakes mid day and they could not fit me in, but made an appointment for the next morning. Was in and out in about 90 minutes. Very fair price, and Darryl was helpful and friendly enough.

Budget BandM was great. Had a problem coming to Campbell River with the brakes. Darryl fit me in that day and was able to put my concerns to rest. Cant say enough about the guy .... and shop.

I had a last minute problem with my parking brake seizing late in the day. They got me in right away and got me on the road within an hour or so. They were very courteous as well. Thank you.

1 of 2 of the mechanics I use in town. Keeps the quoted price and explains the process. Never does he just, go ahead, without a call first. My self and my parent go here.

Always great service... bill matches quoted price without surprises... They fix what you ask them to fix without trying to talk you into replacing every part on your car.
