I have an 04 Chevy avalanche. I had 3 broken manifold studs. They did an excellent job for a fair price. No drilling or cutting, they did the welding technique wech is the right way. They didn't break any other bolts removing the old manifolds which would have made the job much more expensive. Everything was installed correctly and my truck is running like a dream. Thank you guys

What a wonderful experience! I had gotten an oil change at another shop who ran a diagnostic on everything needing care on our RAV4 & was told the front brakes were in bad shape. This was about 2 weeks ago. The car was driven only briefly twice and then two days ago the most terrifying sound came from the front driver side wheel that reminded me of when I spent $800 on a U-joint replacement! I had been planning on getting the brakes done this week but now I was worried that there was a bigger problem and began calling around for quotes on the brakes, after the original place I went to for oil change told me $625/side I Googled βbest affordable brake shop in SDβ and Toddβs shop Budget, popped up. After reading his great reviews I called him up and we chatted for a moment after which he quoted me at most $400/side and said theyβd be happy to take a look at my mystery sound. I hopped in the car and drove right over, was seen right away, enjoyed my visit with owner Todd (he has great stories!) and watched customers get excellent service at fantastic prices while I waited. I had my pup with me and she was treated like a special customer as well, they had a water bowl for her & she had

I recommend this business completely! Todd and Carlos are amazing. 10 Stars. Not only are they professional but they are very nice people. I see that they love what they do. I will never take my car anywhere else but there and I'm referring them to everybody I know. You can't go wrong with them. The best prices in town. Jorge Marx

β β β β β Integrity and Accountability You Can Trust I had a used engine installed at Budget Muffler Brake & Alignment. When an issue came up afterward, I reached out to the owner. He took full responsibility, communicated clearly, and made things right without hesitation or excuses. Itβs rare these days to find a shop that genuinely stands behind their work and prioritizes doing the right thing. Their integrity and professionalism turned what could have been a frustrating experience into a positive one. I highly recommend Budget Muffler Brake & Alignment to anyone looking for honest, dependable mechanics who truly value their customers.

Budget Muffler has such experienced exhaust specialists. I had muffler delete done and new tips welded. The technician that worked on my car aligned quad exhaust tips so perfectly and eventually, just like factory. All the work was completed in under two hours. Prices are reasonable and with high quality welding and fabrication it is worth coming here. I would recommend this business for exhaust installation, repair and mods.
