Exhaust & Emission Services
We just Don’t Blow smoke
If the exhaust on the back of your car is smoking, making noise, or malfunctioning in any way, bring your vehicle to the experts at a local Minnesota AAMCO Transmission & Total Car Care. An AAMCO muffler repair shop provides complete exhaust services and muffler repair to help with emissions. The exhaust system starts at the engine of your vehicle and runs through exhaust pipes connected to your engine cylinders, then the oxygen sensors and catalytic converter, and to the muffler and tailpipe.
Exhaust Damage Repair
Since your emission and exhaust system is mounted to the bottom of your vehicle, it can be damaged by potholes and other bumps and debris in the road, especially in cold weather conditions. Automobile exhaust contains carbon monoxide that can be very dangerous or deadly, if they flow into the passenger area of your vehicle. You need to have your emission and exhaust system checked once a year to ensure it is functioning properly. Call your nearest Minnesota AAMCO location and muffler repair shop near you to diagnose your system.

Q: What is a Muffler?
A: Your car’s muffler is the protruding cylindrical tip near the tail-end of your car. As the name indicates, it is designed to reduce the amount of noise that comes from your engine.
Q: Why should I be concerned about my Exhaust System and Muffler?
A:These two work in conjunction to help reduce noise, improve your vehicle’s performance, prevent harmful gas build-ups, and assist you with emissions, which is regulated in the United States.
Q: What about my Exhaust?
A: When your exhaust is need of repair, you will also experience similar signs as a faulty muffler. However, you may also notice that your ‘s Check Engine Light could be going off due to a malfunction with your Oxygen Sensor. Likewise, you will also feel a decrease in your car’s performance. Sluggishness may indicate that your catalytic converter is in need of a replacement.
Related: Signs Your Exhaust System Is Damaged
Q: I see water leaking out of my tailpipe. Is this a bad thing?
A: No. Water leaving your car’s exhaust system is not a bad thing at all. This is a natural occurrence and is caused by your car’s engine heating up, cooling from the air intake, condense, and flow out.
Q: How does an exhaust service lead to better gas mileage?
A: Replacing your exhaust with quality parts, such as a free-flowing system will allow for greater output. A well-maintained and free-flowing exhaust system will then allow the built-up gasses to flow out from your engine and increase airflow. Other ways to help improve gas mileage are detailed here.
Q: Do I need to repair or replace my catalytic converter?
A: Depending on the damage, your catalytic converter can be repaired. However, it is more cost-effective and is a smarter decision to replace the system entirely. Before you consider whether you need a simple repair or replacement, please consult with one of our expert mechanics to discuss which option will best meet your needs. We are more than happy to assist you and get your vehicle running as good as new.

The most helpful and genuinely friendly mechanic I have ever done business with. My wife and I moved to West St. Paul four years ago, came across a free “check engine” offer from AAMCO when we needed it, and haven’t looked for another mechanic since. From diagnosis through repair, the owner Brian, goes above and beyond to provide outstanding customer service.
