Repair or replace?

You don’t always need a complete new exhaust. Depending on where the problem is and the condition of the surrounding metal, we may be able to weld a repair or replace only the damaged section. We inspect the system and explain the options and prices so you can decide.

Why a blowing exhaust should be checked

As well as the noise, an exhaust leak can let fumes escape before they leave the car and may cause an MOT failure. If you can smell exhaust fumes inside the vehicle, have it checked as soon as possible.

Exhaust Repairs questions

Why has my exhaust suddenly become loud?

A sudden increase in noise usually means a leak: a hole from corrosion, a failed joint or gasket, or a section that has broken or come apart. It should be inspected soon.

Can a blowing exhaust be repaired?

Often, yes. Depending on the location and the condition of the metal, a blow can sometimes be welded or fixed by replacing a joint or single section rather than the whole system.

Can an exhaust be welded?

Yes, where the surrounding pipe is solid enough. If the metal is too thin or corroded, replacing the section is the better option. We'll tell you which applies after inspecting it.

How much does an exhaust repair cost?

It depends on the vehicle and whether the exhaust can be welded or needs new parts. Welding repairs start from £70. Send us your registration and a description and we can advise you. We inspect the exhaust before confirming the price.

Do I need to replace my complete exhaust?

Not usually. Most exhausts are made in sections, and we can often replace or repair just the part that has failed.

Can you replace individual exhaust sections?

Yes. Where parts are available for your vehicle, we can replace individual sections such as the rear silencer or a centre section.

Why is my exhaust rattling?

Rattles are often caused by a broken mount or hanger, a loose heat shield, or internal baffles breaking up inside a silencer.

Can you inspect an exhaust leak?

Yes. We can put the car on the ramp, find where the leak is coming from and give you a price for the repair.
