The proof is in the pudding – or, in this case, the exhaust! Customers rave about Kamo Muffler Centre's ability to tackle a wide range of issues, from serious problems to seemingly unsolvable ones. One customer shared a particularly compelling story: after being told their exhaust leak issues were beyond repair (and would require a hefty spend) at another shop, Kamo Muffler Centre quickly diagnosed and professionally fixed the problem for a great price.
Here are a few more examples of their success:
“Could not recommend more highly. Was also given extremely helpful advice for other maintenance issues that I was not even aware of. Exceptional service and exemplary workmanship.”
"Had a rasp issue with my Rav4… For $250 at Kamo Muffler Centre the issue was fixed completely and now the car sounds cool 😆"
"Went in to get the exhaust manifold gasket and bolts… It's now running beautifully. Highly recommend 👌"
These testimonials demonstrate Kamo Muffler Centre isn't just about fixing what's broken – they’re about offering knowledgeable advice and delivering lasting solutions.
Going the Extra Mile – Last Minute Saves & Speedy Service
Need a repair urgently? Kamo Muffler Centre seems happy to go the extra mile. One reviewer highlighted a particularly impressive feat: Gary fit them in for a repair on New Year’s Day, outside of regular hours. This level of dedication is consistently mentioned, alongside praise for the speed of service.
Several users specifically mentioned how “quick” the service was, and how Gary is a “solid guy” who’s “easy to work with”. It’s clear that efficiency and a positive attitude are high priorities at this workshop. They’re clearly willing to accommodate customers’ needs wherever possible, making them a particularly valuable find in Whangārei. For those on a budget, the pricing is also consistently reported as “well priced”.
A Note of Caution & The Importance of Communication
While the overwhelming feedback is positive, it’s important to acknowledge all perspectives. One customer reported a negative experience, stating they were attempted to be charged for unnecessary work and received a poor quality repair. While this is an isolated incident based on the available reviews, it underscores the importance of clear communication and verifying all work before authorising it – something which should be standard practice with any automotive repair.
We recommend discussing all potential repairs with Gary in detail, getting a clear quote upfront, and ensuring you’re comfortable with the proposed work. However, the significant volume of positive reviews suggests this experience is unusual, and most customers have had exceptionally positive interactions with the new team at Kamo Muffler Centre.
