From muffler repair to complete exhaust system work, Scott's Auto & Clutch handles all exhaust problems. If your vehicle is louder than normal, smells like exhaust, or failed an emissions test, we'll inspect the full system from manifold to tailpipe and give you an honest assessment of what needs attention.
Every repair starts with a thorough diagnosis. We identify exactly what your vehicle needs, walk you through our findings, and get your approval before any work begins. Depending on what we find, the types of work we commonly perform include:
Our experienced mechanics take a thorough approach to every repair.
Our welding capability means many exhaust leaks and cracks can be repaired without replacing the full section—saving you money.
We ensure your exhaust system meets Utah emissions requirements before returning your vehicle.
We inspect from manifold to tailpipe—finding all issues at once rather than treating symptoms one at a time.
We repair when possible and replace when necessary. You'll always know which approach we're recommending and why.
From the moment you call to the moment you drive away, we keep you informed every step of the way.
Tell us about loud exhaust, rattling, exhaust smell in the cabin, or a failed emissions test.

Clear estimate before work begins.
Welding, patching, or component replacement as the diagnosis indicates.
We verify no leaks and proper exhaust flow before returning your vehicle.
Our technicians diagnose and repair these problems every day.
A hole or crack in the exhaust system creates excessive noise that bypasses the muffler entirely.
See symptom details →Exhaust fumes entering the cabin is a safety issue—carbon monoxide is dangerous at low concentrations.
See symptom details →Exhaust leaks before the O2 sensor can cause emissions test failures by disrupting the fuel trim readings.
See symptom details →Loose heat shields or broken exhaust hangers create a rattling or dragging sound from under the vehicle.

Often yes. If the pipe or muffler has a small crack or hole, welding is a cost-effective repair. However, if the metal is rusted thin throughout, replacement is more reliable. We assess and recommend the most economical option that will actually last.
A sudden increase in exhaust volume usually means a hole, crack, or disconnected section in the exhaust system. Utah road salt accelerates rust, and thermal cycling from our temperature extremes causes fatigue cracks. We find and fix the exact location.
Yes. Exhaust leaks before the catalytic converter allow unmetered air into the system, triggering error codes and causing emission test failures. We repair the leak and verify the system passes before returning your vehicle.
