Testimonials

On 3/29/2026 nicole bell had this to say:
My friend Sam from Sunshine Mart recommended this place to me when I needed a new tail pipe ASAP! We called on a Friday and Oxbo said "First come first serve! Come on in." So we did and the front desk guy was nice and polite and asked them how long it would be to replace our tail pipe and he said 30 minutes but it literally felt less than that! We were in and out and it was a great price! My husband and I will definitely come here again!

On 2/19/2026 Elenorium had this to say:
I came in about an hour before closing, having called beforehand to ask if they could take a look at my car with an exhaust leak. After 5 minutes of the car being in their garage, they asked me if I wanted to get it fixed. They fixed my leak in less than 30 minutes at a reasonable price. I even inspected the weld afterwards and it looked very good. Friendly staff, quality service, and they even had Spider-Man playing in the waiting room. Will be coming back for any future exhaust needs.
