I took my 1978 Firebird to general auto to have new exhaust installed and some A/C work to finish up a LS2 swap, long story short, after having the exhaust installed I had them try to start the car for the first time and found that the harness I installed was completely incorrect for the car. Troy and Edgar helped me work through all of the issues that came up because of this and got the the car up and running great! Troy was great to work with and Edgar was very thorough with researching all of the issues with the wiring. Highly recommend these guysThank you,

Excellent service, have been visiting the workshop frequently for brake and suspension related issues. Top notch service always. They even helped me modify my car with a custom made exhaust. I love it! Would recommend it to every car enthusiast!

These guys are absolutely awesome. Had a last minute exhaust job that I needed done on my truck. Thanks to Troy and his guys, I was able to get back on the road! Their work, professionalism and pricing was right on point. Will definitely return in the future! Great shop!

Just like to start by saying that these guys are awesome!! Been going to this shop for a year and a half now. The owner Troy is a vey good listener and communicator and always keeps me in the loop on my automotive maintenance and repairs. Special thanks to Edgar for always being patient and willing to explain all of the technical aspects of the repair. Excellent quality of work at a more than fair price, all with a smile and friendly atmosphere. Cant say enough about these guys, wish I could leave 6 stars!!!!

Troy is one heck of a knowledgeable man his prices are amazing he’s never let me down. I refer everyone to him because I know that he will take care of them right. There’s no other mechanic in the valley I would take my vehicles to. He did a cage in my race car came out perfect. Did an exhaust on my Silverado sounded perfect just what I wanted. I will keep referring people to him over and over and over because I know he will take care of them and charge them exactly what it should be no ifs, ands or buts it’s never over priced.

After seeing other deal with mr.Edgar when he couldn’t explain things to his customers in a calming manner even though they took two weeks longer than the time line given to customer. He will not be seeing me come through there shop for anything and I hope he doesn’t work there anymore.

I needed some tires for my car that were special order items. All other resources I tried stated it would be months before they were available.Troy and his team have helped me in the past with exhaust work so I thought I would try them for my tires. He was very busy when I stopped by but he took the time and found me the tires after hours while at home. Instead of months Troy had the tires in his shop 1 1/2 weeks later. I dropped my wheels off in the morning on my way to work to get them mounted and received a call back before I even made it to work. They were ready for pick up. Keep in mind they are a exhaust/mechanic shop not a tire store. Words can not describe how grateful I was for Troy to help me out. I never take time to leave reviews for businesses but I had to this time. I have recommended General Car & Exhaust to many friends and colleagues in the past and ALL of them were impressed by the professionalism and courtesy his team provided. I did notice a rash of bad reviews recently posted to Google reviews that can only be explained by 1 bad apple that had a few of their internet social posting warriors trying to bring a good business down. This tactic never works against a good business and will not work now. My guess is a customer that flopped on the ground and threw a fit like a 3 year old. A internet expert who routinely pays for winter air for their tires and a quick fill of his/her blinker fluid at other shops had a beef about the diagnosis and cost of a repair from a mechanic with decades of experience along with the time it would be done. Like my Grandpa always told me Never eat at a restaurant that is not busy at lunch time and never go to a mechanics shop that does not have other customers cars waiting for service.

I have taken two of my rigs into these awesome guys. Not only have they repaired my vehicle(s) quickly and with great value but they identified some small fixes I was not charged for. I have brought my vehicles in to check codes and Troy has checked them for free and I repaired some issues on my own. These guys are knowledgeable, professional and honest. I would highly recommend you taking your vehicle here.

Troy has been my mechanic for over a decade, and hes one of the finest technicians, and finest men that youll ever find to do business with in the valley, or the state, for that matter. Hes A God fearing man, and hes the very best under the hood with a wrench. Any make. Any model. Any year. He can be trusted. Begin your relationship with General Car And Exhaust, and you too will find out why those of us for whom they care will never leave. Bravo, Troy! 5 stars in every regard. Todd Crawford, Boise.

Awesome people, great prices and great workmanship! They stand behind their work! Was out of state and heard about Troy, took my truck there and they were able to fix it. It needed head gaskets, glow plugs, fuel filter, fan clutch and more. . . Being from out of state, Troy gave me the confidence they could do the job and that they did. Truck drove flawlessly back home pulling our trailer. Call them if you want great work and good prices, he will be honest.

Awful company. Yelling at, cursing at, belittling customers, calling them awful names. Can’t get the job done right, can’t get it done in the time promised, lying about work that was never done, and over charging. Terrible business, terrible people. Take your business literally anywhere else.

Just got the exhaust system on my 69 Camaro replaced from the headers on back. The 2 1/2 pipes with Flowmaster 40 series mufflers is the perfect setup! The best part of the exhaust is the sound! Its way better than I could have hoped for or imagined! Troy and his entire crew did an awesome job! Im extremely satisfied with this shop, the job they did and would not hesitate to give my highest recommendation. AAA+++ all the way!

I hate to leave a bad review bc the owner seemed cool but after waiting and no reply to the shoty work I’ll share my story. Took my van in for a full exhaust, met the guy who was going to do the work and I made it clear to him to keep the exhaust as far away from the airlines and bags as possible. Didn’t bother to check for a few weeks since they seemed trustworthy, that was my mistake. The welds look horrible and the exhaust was ran so it sat up against the air line putting a hole in it. $630 and this is the shoty work I get. Lesson learned I will never go back

Wasnt sure where exactly to take my car to be looked at since I wasnt too sure what the problem was, and I came across General Car & Exhaust. The reviews were great which is why I decided to stick with them. Took my car in and they found and fixed the problem within a couple of days (wheel bearing). Very affordable prices and I loved how I was walked through every step of the way. Will be back for any future car needs!

My project was delayed for reasons out of anyone’s control. So let’s get that out-of-the-way. Troy built an awesome car, they stood behind their word, It’s gorgeous, it doesn’t leak oil, they built a motor redid a transmission put it all in there with new wiring and stuck with it until now it’s tune to perfection and I love it to death. Great staff

This place did an extremely nice job putting a dual exhaust system on my 51 Chevy Truck. Fantastic people, stuck to the estimate, and did it in a short period of time... And when I picked it up i had an electrical issue with it and the helped to track it down.. These people do care. I will go back if I need any work done again. Thank You all for the work and help.

Took my maxima up there for a quick inspection. The vibes I get from the owner and employees are exceptional. Quality customer service at competitive pricing. I will never take my vehicles to another shop outside of this one.

Went there to have a wheel bearing replaced. The service was great and came at the price I expected. A few months later the same bearing started acting up again and the replaced it free of charge. Would definitely recommend!

The service and quality of work was amazing! We did have a bit of a mishap where the ending cost was over double the initial quoted amount, however the supervisor was very nice about the situation and happily correct the cost of repair to the initial quoted price. Definitely recommend this place and if I need further mechanical repairs in the future, I will definitely be coming back!

The owner Troy really stands behind his work. Over the years we have had some issues with bad parts and he has always made sure to make it right. Troy is honest and is priced fairly. Im very glad to have found General Car and Exhaust and will keep using them in the future.

Troy did a couple jobs for me and he has never disappointed me. Always up front, doesnt do the work unless he checks with you first, and his prices were half of what I was quoted at other shops. I really appreciated that he treated me as a person instead of a stupid girl we can take advantage of like the other mechanics I had been to.

Short Story, Awesome people and Awesome prices, In a day and age when its hard to find a mechanic you can trust, its nice to find a good honest shop.They worked on my 2005 Chrysler Pacifica, These cars are known to be pain in the rear and hard to diagnose. They managed to fix all issues on the car and for 1/4th of the price of a dealership with workmanship that far exceeded any dealership I have been to in recent memory. They even took the time to sit with me and point out some of the other things that were going wrong and let me deiced if I wanted those fixed. Over all awesome experience, car runs awesome and will take it and my other vehicle to them when mechanical work is needed.
