I had a wonderful experience at Wade's today! I went to see him to have a custom exhaust made for late model Lexus. Wade's shop was clean, the staff was friendly and professional, and his prices were reasonable! If you go anywhere else, you are really missing out on a positive experience! Thanks for being a great businessman and being easy to work with! I will be back...

What a shop! Honest service, no extra fees, and very nice. Quoted me $140/axle to get new brakes, figured I'd need to spend $300+. ... Walked out only spending $150.62 for 2 brake pads and an air filter. Didn't charge me for anything except what I needed. Thank you, far exceeded my expectations!

Went here 2 days ago and told them what I wanted. Paid a fair price, drove around a bit and realized I wanted a different sound. Came back the next day and he gave me exactly what I wanted with the perfect sound. He answered all of my 500 questions and really tried understanding the sound I was looking for. Now my V8 sounds amazing. "I want it to sound like Thor's truck would" Highly recommend this place.

A wonderful and pleasant experience, wade was my first call as I was going to call around for the best price for my catalytic converter,but after speaking with Wade I didn't call anybody else. I knew he was the man for the job. My Ford F150 pickup never ran so good, it really seemed he was more my friend than my muffler mechanic he was very personable and we talked about a lot of different things. I won't go anywhere else for any of my muffler needs or any other services he offers he is my man from now on, thank you very much Wade and have a Merry Christmas and a wonderful new year

Thanks again Wade! Your speed, honesty, and, integrity are an asset to the community. You were able to get my Mitsubishi in and out so I could make it back emissions before the end of the day, and within my budget. I will continue to recommend your services and wish you the best with your new location!

I was just there to get the reservoir / exhaust replaced, my car was sounding really loud when I would start it and drive it around and now it is so quite. Well done Wade and excellent costumer service. I would definitely refer my friends to Wade.

Wade and his team are awesome. I had read on the Ford forums that the MagnaFlow exhaust was the way to go for performance and sound. Wade said otherwise and was right. He put my truck on the lift and cut my existing muffler off and let me listen to 4 different exhaust systems. He recommended 2 brands and I chose the original flowmaster 40 which sounds really nice. He cut the exhaust and installed a 3 inch pipe si/so with a cool looking black tip which matched my wheels. Now I get better gas milage and have a beastly sounding 5.4 v8 thanks to Wade. You will be my muffler guy on my next truck and my first choice for friends and family. Thanks Wade

Saw Wade's had great reviews and thought I'd give them a shot. It's hard to find companies that give you honest service at reasonable prices. My problem was diagnosed and the price was very reasonable. It was unfortunate that the service didn't totally fix my problem. I took my vehicle back to Wade's and the issue was resolved without any hassle or additional charges. I couldn't have been more pleased. Wade's will be my go-to from now on. I highly recommend you give them a shot!!

Wow best service I've ever had from a shop, Wade was super friendly and answered every question I had and did awesome job welding up my new Magnaflow exhaust system. Couldn't be happier with the quality of work he did as well of the great price! Charged about half what everyone else quoted me and I was in and out in about an hour.

This place is the ONLY garage I bring my cars to. I usually do my own work if I can, but when I can't, I go to Wade. He's the only honest and fair auto repair shop in Mesa. Everywhere else I go tries to lie to me and overcharge. You won't be disappointed in the service here.

A neighbor recommended Wade's... I'm glad he did! I have a crazy "Mad Max"-type truck and a custom/ crazy exhaust. I needed headers & exhaust flex joint & welding work done. Wade was honest and truthful and a pleasure to speak with. He quoted me and stuck with that quote even when the materials ran over. Highly Rated! I will be going back for my brakes very soon!! THANK YOU WADE !!

Recently moved here from CA & we we're really dreading finding a new mechanic. Lucky for us we checked out Wade's Yelp reviews and got to start off with the best. He is such a great person. Makes you feel welcome and comfortable while your at the shop. Which isn't always an easy thing to find as a women in men's territory. Wade is honest and does great work. He gives you a quote and sticks with it. Would highly recommend him to anyone.

Wade is unlike any mechanic I've met! Wade replaced my rear catalytic converter on my 2004 Jaguar. Wade is very helpful, and determined to do the job right. Aside from being very knowledgeable n his craft, he is SUCH a pleasant, kind hearted man. Wades prices are reasonable and to add to that, he does honest work. We all know an honest mechanic is like trying to find a needle n a haystack! Thanks Wade.

These guys are great, honest, and fast. Labor costs are the best and you get to talk with the people doing the work. Always honest pricing on parts too.
They do the brakes for all my vehicles, but my best experience was when I needed a catalytic converter to pass emissions. They are the best value in town.

This is the place I'll be going to from now on for any kind of automotive exhaust work I need completed. I called Wade mid-morning to see if his shop had time to fix an exhaust rattle on my son's older model Accord, he simply said, 'Bring it on down and we'll fix it.' I drove on over and within 30 minutes I was on my way, the repair fully completed at a more than fair price.
Wade's shop and waiting area are clean and organized; Wade himself is a nice and approachable guy. The service and experience here is definitely a throw-back feel to the day when businesses strove to be ethical and sought to retain customers for life rather than today's approach of upselling and grinding everyone down for their last dollar.
Highly recommended.

Searched all over Yelp for places to replace brakes. Considered even buying a groupon for a different company but I'm glad I found this place, not only do I live 5 min away but Wade is very nice & friendly. Called to get a quote and they are truly what they say they are... "Discounted." They are about half of what others were asking and did an awesome job. He said to just come in, no appointment needed. Went in, dropped off my car and 2 hours later it was ready to go. They even rotated my tires. No hidden costs or up selling/upgrading like most places do. Just an honest service without any gimmicks. Will definitely be back to get my back brakes changed.

Had a hole in my flex pipe. Wade replaced it for a good and reasonable price. He also checked my SUV over and noted that my water hoses where about to burst. That saved me from a future problem of having them blow at some inopertune time. No upsell, no fictional repairs. Just straight up service at a competitive price. Avoid the rip offs, do your business here.

Best service I have gotten at a shop! Took the time to make sure I liked the exhaust system sound. The tips that would go on. The whole 9 yards!
Wade is a super nice guy to add to it.
I really got that small business here to help customers vibe.
Will for sure recommend his shop to anyone!

Wade's Discount Muffle & Brakes was recommended by my mechanic. Wade was polite, he explained the situation with my exhaust system, and he treated me fairly and honestly. The referral was spot-on. The next time I need muffler work, I will be taking my car to Wade's.

Wade is a good, honest guy! He did a great job replacing my catalytic converter, and did not charge me an arm and a leg for it. Every other place quoted me around $900 and Wade was a fraction of that. While he was under the hood, he noticed that the little clip that holds the "hood stick" had broken off and the hood stick was hanging down in the engine. He was nice enough to make a little metal hook and weld it on there for me. He didn't even charge me a dime for it, because he's just that nice of a guy! Anytime our friend's mention that their check engine light came on, we always ask, "Is it your catalytic converter? Because we've got a guy!" :)

Truck has been needing true duals and brake work done. Stopped in because it was close to my house. Wade was great, dropped the truck off on a Friday morning and picked it up later in the afternoon. They went out of their way to track down then custom make some rear brake lines. Couldn't be happier with the service, the price, and the finished product. Highly recommend and will be back!

Quick, honest, and reliable. Gave me a price, didn't attempt to make me add anything unnecessary. While waiting I watched Wade give a generous discount to a veteran, and Wade made it a point to engage in conversation with my 3.5yo daughter. This is a shop that has earned my business for all future exhaust needs. Support the little guys, not the corporations!
--edit--
This shop has moved. The new shop is at 1722 N Banning Ste 103 in Mesa, 1/2 mile N of Brown 1 block W of Higley

Thanks Wade for the awesome service you provided me! I called around 5 other places and never got a definitive answer on cost or time. Calling you was as simple as it gets. You provided me with all the answers on the spot and made the experience enjoyable and I love the new exhaust on my truck. My fathers truck is next so I'll be stopping by again soon! Thank you again Wade!!

I've been to Wade's with three separate vehicles and each time his helpfulness was astounding.
There's a stigma with mechanics as they are known for "creating" issues with your vehicle in order to squeez that extra $500 out of your wallet. Finding a honest mechanic is difficult, unfortunately.
Wade is, from the experience my wife and I have had with him, one of the few honest mechanics out there. I have nothing but high praise for his shop and will continue to take my vehicles there in the future, however, I've never had to return with an issue as he does an excellent service.
I could go on about how he's researched issues for my car, or how he has inspected it and waved the fee, or even how he's referred me to another honest mechanic when the issue was beyond what they handle in his shop.
My experience with Wade's has been nothing short of excellent, and worth more than a positive review. Two thumbs up.

Wade was as accommodating and nice as possible. I called on a monday asking about a small repair. I showed up Friday and he instantly remembered the call and got my car into the shop within 90 seconds of me walking in his door! Wade found the problem quickly and had it fixed in a matter of minutes. Kind, professional, and welcoming - Wade is the best you'll find for muffler and welding work.

Went to Wade's for a muffler issue. He gave me a great recommendation that fixed my issue. I thought I might half to spend several hundred $$$ to buy a new muffler, but I was out the door at Wade's for $104 and with a sweet new shiny chrome tipped exhaust to boot! Price included parts and labor and everything. They mounted it exactly how I wanted till I was happy with everything. They took their time, answered all my questions. I felt welcome to be there. Very happy with the result and price. Thank you!

I needed a new muffler for my 2003 Tahoe and Wade explained my options and pricing over the phone and installed the muffler within an hour. Wade's service, pricing and workmanship is excellent! I was a new customer but I am also now a committed and loyal client because of the quality and commitment that Wade showed me. Thank you for looking out for me Wade!

I cant say enough good things about Wade and his guys. They have saved me thousands over the past few years and have done amazing things with my vehicles. Even when they had to refer me out for AC work I saved $1500.00 over the other quote I was given. Honest and fair and just plain nice period.

I took my 2000 Honda Civic to several places to get quotes on a catalytic converter and was quoted over a thousand dollars for parts and labor. My brother-in-law referred me to Wades. He did the work for a very fair price and was able to meet my tight schedule. Thank you I will refer you to all my friends.

Not only has wade done my last two mufflers, which were great work, but his customer service is second to none. Brought my truck in short notice for a broken hanger, fixed it right abd charged me nothing cause "it was really no problem at all." I wish everyone was an honest and helpful as wades shop. My muffler shop for life. Thanks Wade!

Wade was Very Rude! I called for a quote and Wade Answered the phone. I told him Year Make and Model of my vehicle and requested a estimate (Even a broad one) of what it would cost to have work done. I let him know a exactly what I wanted to have done to the car and he said he would NOT give me a quote. He also spoke very rude to me as if i was stupid or something, plus he would NOT even quote me any type of cost! I will take my business elsewhere; I do not appreciate being treated like that.

Amazing!!! After about a year if having issues with my exhaust and many trips later to various shops with no luck (couldn't figure out what was wrong / trying to get me to put in expensive custom systems).. WADES!! They got my car in, fixed the issue, and got my car out within 20 minutes of me arriving. They were able to diagnose and fix the problem like it was nothing! I can't express my gratitude enough, hopefully others will read this review and go to this shop!!!!
