They always do a great job on the repairs, offered at a great price, and they get the repairs done quickly… A personal thank you to the owner/manager Quenton for getting my car in when I needed the repairs done quickly.

I've been to Rad Air before and was happy with the service… an oil change place couldn't remove the bolts to get the skid plate off my vehicle. I took it to Rad Air and they didn't charge extra for that. I'll use them again.

Akron Muffler & Exhaust Repair FAQs

Where can I get muffler repair near me in Akron?
If you're searching for muffler repair near you, Rad Air is at 1200 West Portage Trail in Akron's Merriman Valley — serving Cuyahoga Falls, Tallmadge, Stow and all of Summit County. We repair and replace mufflers and full exhaust systems with upfront pricing.
How do I know if my muffler needs repair?
Signs include a loud or rumbling engine, rattling under the car, a hissing exhaust leak, a sulfur or exhaust smell inside the cabin, or dropping fuel economy. Any of these is worth having checked.
How much does muffler repair cost?
It depends on whether you need a patch, a new muffler, or larger exhaust work. Rad Air Akron gives you an upfront estimate after inspecting the system, plus financing for bigger jobs.
Can you fix an exhaust leak instead of replacing the whole system?
Often, yes. Many exhaust leaks can be welded or the failed section replaced without redoing the entire system. We'll show you the most cost-effective lasting fix.
Do you replace catalytic converters?
Yes — including converters that have failed or been stolen. We diagnose the cause first so a new converter doesn't fail again, and restore your emissions and performance.
Can you help my car pass an Ohio E-Check?
Yes. We diagnose the exhaust and emissions faults behind a failed E-Check and make the repairs needed to pass. A check-engine light is often involved — see our Akron engine repair services.
Do you warranty exhaust and muffler work?
Yes. Exhaust work is backed by our 36-month/36,000-mile (whichever comes first) parts and labor warranty, and new mufflers and catalytic converters are covered by our Fixed for Life limited lifetime warranty (pipes excluded). See our full warranty for details.
Rad Air Fixed for Life Warranty Program — fix it once, and never again

Backed by the Fixed for Life Warranty

Every repair carries our 36-month/36,000-mile parts & labor guarantee, whichever comes first — and qualifying new parts are covered for as long as you own your vehicle. See what's covered →
