Complete Auto Repair & Custom Exhaust |? Family Owned & Operated Since 1959

In 1959, no one would believe that Sunrise Poultry and Eggs on Elgin Avenue in Houston, Texas would start selling tail pipes and exhaust pipes for vehicles instead of processing chickens and selling eggs. In 2012, no one can believe that the first place in Houston to sell performance dual exhaust kits for automobiles started out as a chicken processing warehouse. Originally named Southwestern Muffler, Southwest Muffler & Brake started as an independent muffler shop in Houston 53 years ago with a goal of providing superior service and quality products to all of their customers. L.C. "Gus"?‚?? Gostecnik bought his first trailer load of tailpipes and exhaust pipes in 1959 and sold them to local parts houses. Soon after his initial purchase, Uncle Gus moved into a warehouse and expanded the business. With the purchase of a pipe bending machine, it was inside this warehouse that Southwestern Muffler began making Houston`s first performance dual exhaust kits. He later bought a couple of auto lifts from a man in New Orleans, Louisiana, and started putting mufflers and pipes on cars and trucks. It was in the back of that warehouse 53 years ago that the idea for Southwest Muffler & Brake was "hatched." Lynn "Goose"?‚?? Gostecnik purchased the company in 1977 and opened a second location under the name Brake Works. As a result of the daily on-site ownership, both locations soon became known as Southwestern Muffler & Brake Works. In an effort to modernize the brand but still maintain the original idea, Southwest Muffler & Brake emerged in 2012. Goose continues the family tradition of on-site ownership, and can be seen daily either swapping stories or sipping a cup of coffee with the customers. "I`m in both stores everyday,"?‚?? Gostecnik says. This is something you will not receive at any franchise or the larger chains. We`re proud of our independence. Uncle Gus`s original idea of giving the customer convenient, immediate, one-day service using quality parts still exists.

These guys are very helpful and have lots of experience. I have had them inspect several cars I was looking to buy, and they gave me good advice on them. Also helped me with some advice and repairs I was doing myself, which I really appreciate!

I went to the repair shop for a free a/c check, and after checking my car they found that it was low on Freon. They did a quick dye test and found a pinhole leak on one of the air conditioning hoses. It really gave me confidence that the fix was going to be correct when Jay showed me the leak with UV light. They got me in and out quick at a good price and I know i?ˆ™m going to need my a/c this summer.

It was a pleasure to go to a repair shop that was not filthy and that actually kept my car clean when they worked on it. Jay gave me a good deal on a starter replacement. He let me buy my own part and even picked up the part for me next door at Advance Auto Parts. Really cool guys!

Accurate Diagnostic

I had taken my car to two other shops for an intermittent sputtering problem but each of the other shops was unable to fix it. I dealt with Carlos and he really knows his stuff. He put the computer on the vehicle and showed me the graph of the vehicle performance as we drove. With the help of the graph he was able to isolate which injector was having trouble. Saved me a lot of time and money. Will definitely use a... view moregain!

Thanks!

My brakes had been making noise for quite a while so I took it in for the free inspection. They did a pad and shoe replacement and got me back on the road without telling me that I needed a bunch of extras. Thanks!

Good Mechanics Good Prices

Good mechanics and good prices. Took my car to Advance Auto Parts to pick up a starter and then found out I didn`t have all the right tools. These guys took care of me quickly and without a lot of hassle.
