Downtown Cleveland exhaust repair
A loud rumble, a rattle under the car, or a rotten egg smell usually means an exhaust problem, and Cleveland road salt is hard on exhaust systems. A dragging heat shield, a rusted out muffler, a leaking pipe or a failing catalytic converter can make your car loud, drop your fuel economy, and even let fumes into the cabin. Our shop in the bottom of the Hamilton Garage at Hamilton and East 12th diagnoses the whole system and tells you exactly what needs attention.
Our ASE-certified team handles everything from a quick heat shield fix to muffler, pipe and catalytic converter repair, and backs qualifying new parts with our Fixed for Life warranty. Several downtown drivers have walked in with a rattling heat shield and been back on the road in minutes. We fix the real problem, not more than you need, and get you quiet and passing e-check again.

Paul was extremely helpful spur of the moment when I had my heat shield dragging on my car. I called and he got me in within 5 minutes to fix it. This place is great downtown.
I work close by and park next to this location. I had an annoying heat shield issue notorious with Subarus and couldn't take it anymore. I walked in and they quickly took care of it for me with no appointment. Very reasonable cost. Paul is great to work with. Thanks.
Great service to get my e-check completed, done within 10 minutes and very friendly!
I brought my car here after being told I needed to change a bunch of things, and Paul and his team were so excellent and honest. They were always candid about the things that I really needed to do and what could wait. My car has been taken care of so well.
Paul is absolutely amazing. Very responsive to any concerns and great about setting timely appointments. He explains repairs clearly, especially for someone like me who doesn't know a lot about cars, and he is honest about critical repair needs versus repairs that can wait.
Fast service and transparent pricing. Definitely going to be heading back there next time my car needs work!
Paul and team were amazing! Excellent customer service and professional work. I highly recommend them!
Reliable, friendly and honest! I tried other shops in the area before coming to Rad Air and I wish I had just started here first. I will keep coming back!
Paul and his team are excellent to work with. They were clear with what they found, providing an estimate and completing the work quickly. Great job!
They always get work done in a timely manner. Prices are reasonable as well. The manager is very helpful and makes the entire process very easy. Highly recommend coming here!
From the time I dropped my car off I felt I was in good hands. When it was explained what was needed and why, I was confident in what I was told. I have no complaints and will return if another concern arises.
These guys have integrity. They let you know exactly what you need and don't try to upcharge unnecessarily. Would highly recommend.
