Muffler RepairWe got our start working exclusively on mufflers and exhaust systems when we opened our first auto repair shop in 1972. With over 45 years of muffler experience, our team knows exhaust systems inside and out. We service all makes and models and invite you to stop by any of our locations for a free exhaust system inspection.
Exhaust systems are located on the bottom of the car, and operate at high temperatures.

Family Owned Since 1972Gordon Lentz opened his first auto repair shop in 1972. Trained as a mechanical engineer. His first exposure to the automotive repair business came in the early 1970's, when he was selling storage systems to muffler repair shops. He could see room for improvement in a lot of the shops he visited. He took a chance; quit his job, and invested his life savings in building his own auto service center. Today, Lentz Auto Repair is still family owned and operated, guided by the same simple mission that started over 45 years ago: “treat our customers as we would like to be treated and provide quality products at fair prices.”
