Reviews
“Brought my Tundra in yesterday for an installation of a Flowmaster dual exhaust system. I had been recommended to them by my tire shop. I was greeted courteously on the phone and when I arrived. They showed great care for my truck and did a great installation job at a fair price. They will be my shop for all 4 of my vehicles. I told my neighbor next door & he said he's going to call them also.”
“As long as Dan Fast is around, I will only trust them with my truck. If I can't do it, they are the only ones who I trust to take it over and get it done right. My truck needed a new transmission, and they swapped it out for me. Long story short they called me and told me they still weren't happy with the way the transmission was operating after the replacement and they were going to rip it out and send it back to the manufacturer for another one. That ladies and gents is integrity and amazing work ethic. They treat your ride like it’s their own. They actually are still working on my truck as I write this, and I know it’s going to come back to me better than ever before. Thank you to the crew at Dan Fast for having my back. Love you guys!”
“I took my car for a check on muffler and an oil leak. I was so pleasantly surprise when I was told that muffler is fine with an estimate on the oil leakage with no cost to check both. I found them very open, honest and customer friendly. Thank you!”
“Part not available in state. With their established equipment they were able to fabricate the part and return the exhaust to a normal condition. Once again thanks for the great work and being open Saturdays.”
“Had an exhaust done by this shop, excellent work.
Looks and sounds exactly what I was looking for.
Would recommend them highly”
“These guys always do a great job!”

“George is first class! I chose a loud muffler and didn't like it. He was very fair and replaced it with another. Got me finished in the same morning and I love the new muffler.”
“Resonator delete was done on time and perfectly on my is300. And for only $140.”
“I was super worried about my car when the muffler was making noise. Dan Fast was able to get my car better than ever before in the same day! I can't tell you how relieved I was that these experts could help me. Make sure you get there early, the awesome service and affordable rates is no secret!! Thank you so much!!”

“First review -
They installed my 42 draft designs full 3 inch turbo back exhaust onto my mk4 gti 1.8t with only a 1 day notice! The worst news I got was that my long awaited turbo back exhaust was 4 inches to short and they needed to add 4 inches of tubing into the system to get it lined up. I kept my car over night for their welding man to come and got my car the next morning! nice welds and very nice people, definitely going to be a customer there again!
UPDATED REVIEW - 7/16/20
These guys are great! I was working on my mk4 GTI dogbone mount and couldn't get the last bolt out with hand tools for my new CTS TURBO mount to be put in. I called Dan's Fast after calling 3 other places about renting power tools or breaker bars (apperently AutoZone doesn't rent tools anymore?, According to the employee) for this one bolt. After talking with Dan's Fast, asked them if they could do it and I got in and out within the hour with a brand new dog bone mount. Also these guys don't seem to mind customers being under the car with them! I was under my car with them the whole time and it looked great! My engine felt like it was floating on the road! Very smooth and would recommend upgrading any engine/transmission/dogbone mount if your car is vibrating from a larger than stock exhaust! And the best part yet after they got my dog bone mount on. I asked how much they wanted for the install (they could of said something ridiculous like 200$ for that one bolt) (I was expecting to pay atleast 25-50$ for minimal labor) the shop manager Jorge said it was free! Thank you so much!”
“They did a great job installing a Flowmaster system on my Tundra, at a fair price. I will be using them for all my exhaust system needs on my vehicles, and recommending them to my friends”
“I will provide a second update when getting my down pipe and muffler fixed. Just had the most amazing conversation super sweet over the phone. Treat women with respect which is really hard to find in a lot of shops. Excited to go over there to do business with them”
“These guys were awesome. My Scion tC now has a beautiful sounding Borla Catback and these guys installed it in 45 minutes. They were friendly and did clean quality work at a good price”
“Absolutely the best auto shop for exhaust in Seattle Bellevue area! Great service! Quick efficient and a great job done at the end! Cherry on top is that they are very competitive prices! I would recommend them to anyone looking to get exhaust work done! George is very helpful and always available to help!

“The crew at Dan Fast is so quick! I got in without appointment and the car was ready within just shy of couple hours.”
“Very friendly owner and nice service
I deleted my muffler today and now my car sounds like a beast, thanks”
“They fit me right in, diagnosed the problem, and fixed it within 30 minutes even though he estimated an hour or so wait.
They clearly know what they are doing, are friendly, and provide awesome service.
Highly recommend.”
Top notch professionals with a passion for serving your automotive needs.”
These guys are awesome! I have taken my Jeep and now my explorer to them. Unfortunately they couldn’t figure out what was working however they never charged me. Trustworthy and friendly!
“Jay and his crew recently installed a new Magnaflow center and rear exhaust on my Pathfinder. Very nice installation. Sounds and looks great. Thank you”
Great company! They do quality work at reasonable prices. They work on practically anything and do the job right the first time. Don't waste your money anywhere else.”
“Good work, fair prices, and polite staff then throw in their long time, and convenient eastside location and enduring reputation and you get Dan Fast. No reason to go anywhere else.
Excellent quality. Prices are on the higher side but don't forget this is Bellevue and they do very good work.”

Fantastic customer service and quick turn around time. I would definitely recommend these guys.

“Got me in same day and finished in an hour for some exhaust stuff. Great work!”
“4 Stars!
“This place is more than just an exhaust shop. I had been having issues with my brakes and couldn't get them to fully unlock. I did a lot of research trying to find a shop that was honest and reasonable. It took a little more time than anticipated. I expected that because of the amount of time it took, that they would charge more. They only charged me what they originally quoted me. My brakes work perfectly now and have no issues sense then. I would highly recommend anyone with car issues to check this place out. They know what they are doing and they go the extra mile to get the job done right. It is truly hard this day and age to find place that will do honest work and not over charge you.
“Unfortunately, my exhaust failed when a tab tore away from the tail pipe. I decided to check this place out because of the reviews and showed up on the same day. To my surprise, the gentleman who helped me took my tail pipe from me and was able to clean it up, weld it, and give it back to me. To be able to do all that on the spot is really impressive. Of course, they were really friendly, as well.”
“Good prices, friendly employees”
“Very professional”
“Dan's Fast Muffler and Brake is great! First come first serve... I was there before they opened and Jorge along with the other two mechanics were very professional and welcoming. Decent prices and fast quality work. VERY happy! I will be bring my little Nissan there from now on!”

Treated with respect and their rates are typical with other auto repair businesses. I just learned they are not only muffler and brakes, they are full service.
“Amazing service and high quality work. The guys there are really nice and know what they’re doing. I took in my car for a muffler delete without an appointment and I got it back within two hours.
“I am extremely pleased with the experience I had at Dan Fast.
I brought in an aftermarket exhaust to have installed on my vehicle. There were some alignment issues with the system. Even before the technicians brought it to my attention I could see that they were not happy with the way it was coming together. When they did come to me they had a plan on how to address the issue and wanted my approval before proceeding. Their plan worked exactly as planned and the exhaust fitment turned out perfect in every way.
While they were working on my vehicle I observed as another vehicle was having a custom exhaust built and installed to the customers requirements. The technicians were true craftsmen and their attention to detail was impeccable.
I will without hesitation recommend this shop to anyone looking to have exhaust work done. And I will definitely return if I am in need of the services they provide”
“5 Stars!”
“5 Stars!”
“You know that place where you get your vehicle's work done, or I'll be right back I'm taking it to my trusted mechanic? Yeah, its Dan Fast. It's the hidden gem that isn't so hidden anymore because they actually do quality work and everyone sure knows about now. And if they can't work on a set component, they refer you to a place that can, like a real network should be. They are always up front and if you can find a better place than Dan Fast, then they probably don't really exist or it is three counties away. Highly recommended for all kinds of engine, brake, exhaust work! Downside is that they are always busy which should tell you that they do quality work but is well worth a wait for great work. Thanks!!”
“5 Stars!”
“The tail pipe was rubbing on the leaf spring in my 67 Camaro. Dropped by to have them take a look. They made a few tweaks on the hangers and fixed the issue. Fixed on the spot, no charge. The excellent reviews for the shop are correct, which is why I sought them out. 5 star ++.”
“Brought my scooter muffler in for some welding and they did a great job. Was a simple fix and they ended up not charging me!”
Ok
“Nice guys, busy as hell but they fit me in quick and the work was good”
“5 Stars!”
“Amazing customer service. You really don't want to go anywhere else.”
“Would give 6 stars if I could. Needed an O2 sensor bung welded up. First place I called quoted me 2 days and 85 dollars, these guys knocked it out in less then 5 min. and quoted me a fair price for the work.
“Very quick, friendly, and accommodating. Would certainly recommend for basic services.”
“Diagnosed my engine problem (correctly), didn't charge me a dime. Several good experiences here. They stay busy, first come first served. Will also shuttle you to/from home for free!”
“Excellent service and honest price. Houston is awesome.”
“Great service, great prices, honest. What more can you ask for?”
“Great service”
“Great place! Super friendly and efficient. Ran into a barrier causing the plastic bottom of the back bumper to come off on one side. My dad recommended I stop by for a consultation (he had a great experience fixing his muffler). 10 minutes later the bumper is all fixed and for free!
“5 Stars!
“These guys are fantastic, they went above and beyond when we encountered issues fitting my exhaust and making sure it sounded GREAT!”
“Awesome service & at a good value!”
“5 Stars!”
“Great job, not just "Fast" but Dan good!”
“Can't go wrong here friendly service an getts it done an right the first time.”
“If you have any issues with your car, you have to go see them. I have been to a lot of shops around the area (including dealerships) and these guys are top of the line quality and service. They will beat dealer pricing and service any day of the week. They not only do exhaust but they do so much more, i.e. tune ups, oil changes, broken lights, and minor body work! It might be a small shop but huge on quality and service. Thanks Houston, you have more than earned our business for all 3 of our cars.
“Great shop, got me in with a quick little exhaust weld I needed to have custom done. Excellent service, and the welds are solid. Definitely reccomend these guys, they even worked with me on the price.”
“Houston, did an incredible job on our 1973 Nova SS. The custom 3" exhaust system he put in for us is incredible. He stayed late to make sure we had it for the weekend. Thank you Houston.
Laurie and Dale
“One of the hangers on my exhaust had broken off and was making my exhaust sound like a fart cannon. I called in for an estimate and one the mechanics Houston let me know I could come in same day and he would do it free of charge! I came by and he stuck to his word, fixing my exhaust for free and offering diagnosis on other issues I had. I will definitely be returning for business in the future, thanks Houston!
“Quick and economic.. great guys at work”
“From start to finish this is a great place. I pulled in yesterday because the car got noticeably louder whilst driving. Houston showed me the problem. I took it back this morning. It works perfectly. Thanks for the help. Keep up the great work..”
I recently bought a new (2007) Prius despite a weird noise, suspecting a muffler issue, and dropped it off at Dan's before work today. They called around noon to tell me I had a small exhaust leak and that I needed new front brake rotors (but that I could wait maybe another year on the rotors if I wanted to). I initially said I would hold off on the having the breaks done, but then Dan offered to give me a discount if I had both done -- so I went for it. No pressure at all, and the repairs were done very reasonably and with no issues. I would highly recommend this shop and I will probably take it there for regular maintenance down the road.”
Brought c10 drag project asking for custom 3in dual piping header back and around trans crossmember tucking flowmaster 10s in the frame rails and got exactly what I asked for. Ill be back for my other cars”
“4 Stars!”
“I've been going here for over 10 years and have never had a complaint. They're excellent
“My family has always used Dan Fast. These guys recently got my 2002 4Runner running like a champ again.”
Friendly and helpful. Jorge Is the man! I was having an issue with my aftermarket exhaust that no one else could figure out and he identified and fixed the issues in a few hours! Would definitely recommend.”
“They are honest!”
“My fiancé and I went here last week to see if they can fix our muffler. The muffler bracket was out of place and the staff took our car in real quick and said it was a simple fix with no cost. This was our first time been here and the staff was really friendly. I highly recommended”
“Very willing to help even with the small stuff. They give good advice and really look for root problems. Definitely recommend going here, I will be going back.”
“The service i got there is well beyond my expectation! Right on spot fix without any unreasonable charge. Staff are very friendly and comfortable to share findings. Definitely my first choice for next repair work.”
“Very good work at great price”
“It's not easy to find a good auto shop these days. Ever since I came across this shop more than five years ago, my experience has always been very positive; good diagnostics, fair quotations, and honest repair suggestions have pulled me back to them time and again.
Very glad to see that the market indeed have a good place for these hardcore mechanics!”
They are Damn Fast.”
5 Stars!”
“5 Stars!”
outstanding customer experience. The shop always goes above and beyond for us outstanding warranty on all their work which they are always happy to stand behind.”
“Great speedy experience! Aaron and his guys got the exhaust dialed in on my G35 for a great price! Thank you and will send any business I have here!”
“5 Stars!”
“My brothers have come here for years, so I always knew about the place. Well i finally needed some exhaust work done and I was not let down. I ordered an aftermarket system that did not fit correctly at all, despite being made for my car.
They customized it and were able to get the cross-member not to rub anymore and the leak between gaskets gone, and chopped off an un-needed crossbar on the exhaust itself. Like most other people have said, service was very low pressure. I dropped it off at 8:30 and it was ready by noon.
I will be back in the future...possibly to have my brakes done!”
“The muffler to tailpipe flange rusted through on my 2010 Infiniti QX56 and for a second I thought about taking it to one of those muffler chains, but I am glad I took my truck to Dan's instead.
One of the chains would have undoubtedly told me to replace the muffler and tailpipe. I knew I just needed a repair that would attach the muffler to the tailpipe without having to spend a ridiculous amount of money.
When I pulled into Dan's this morning, I was put at ease when I saw a Mercedes AMG 6.3 and a newer BMW M3 in line to get repaired. Why? If folks driving those kind of cars trust this repair shop, that's a great sign. I wasn't disappointed.
I explained my issue and the gentlemen quickly told me it shouldn't be a problem to fix. They looked at my truck and said they would have it done in one hour for - $90. That's it. They did a great job of fixing it as they welded the two together, which is always a better fix than trying to put some split flanges on there instead. Trust me - their work is superior to any chain shop you would go to.
Their service sets the standard and their automotive repair skills are superior to the dealerships. Trust me, I know cars and I also know how to work on cars. They are good - real good.”
“The owner of this place is so honest and kind. He gave me an awesome deal on my brakes! The other day I came in having no idea what was wrong with my car and he figured it out and didn't charge me a cent! Being a girl who knows absolutely NOTHING about cars, he is always very patient when explaining things to me...He called about parts for me and was completely honest telling me I could get cheaper somewhere else. If you're looking for fair prices and honest, friendly mechanics, check them out!”
“This place is one of the greatest, i've taken about five vehicles to get exhaust work done, it was done usually same day no questions at a fairly great price, as well as sending customer's i've had to them to get some great work done. Every customer that comes back to me is more than satisfied and is very appreciative. Thanks for everything you do and being as fast as you guys are. This is my one stop shop for the last three years and im never going anywhere else! - Damien”
Great! Quick and friendly with good prices. It's a pretty damn solid shop.”
“Probably, the best car shop I have EVER visited – professional, fair, friendly and punctual. The approximate – quoted on the phone – cost of work was “beaten” by about 8% at the time of the actual payment. Came in as an ordinary customer and left as a friend.
The only “negative” is a very small parking lot.
“I've been with Dan Fast (Bellevue) for many years now. I regularly use them with oil change and other series of XXX mile check-ups. One time, one of my cars started bouncing slightly more than normal, so I took my car there as I doubted the shocks. After a while they checked the problem and said it was the tires, not shocks. I was a bit skeptical, but they are always accurate for the diagnoses they do, so I took my car to a tire shop. (it is too bad Dan Fast does not sell tires. I would have bought tires from them if they did). After replacing the tires, the problem is gone!! Dan Fast did not charge me a penny for diagnosing. Not sure it was because I use them regularly for oil changes, but it was very helpful at that time. Also, I recently got "Check Engine" light on my car, and they checked it for me after the oil change. They did not find any problems that the computer of my car indicated, and concluded it was just a dirty sensor rather than a real problem. They just cleaned the sensor for free and Voila!! No more Check Engine light. It was great that I did not have to bring my car to the dealer. I really recommend for using Dan Fast's oil change service rather than using the J-Lube companies. Dan Fast changes oil quite fast like in 20-30 minutes if it is on a week day. Just make sure they are not too busy before you hit the road.”
“4 Stars!”
“I try to give credit when credit is due. It seems like too many people only give ratings to complain. That being said based on the online reviews (and I’ll admit location) I swung by Dan Fast’s on my lunch break at noon. I am a bit of a DIY kind of guy, but my simple post-cat O2 sensor swap went awry and I broke the threaded bung loose in the pipe. I asked them for a quote and if they could have it done by 5 ppm (when I left work). He said he could do it, no problem and quoted me a very reasonable price to the time and parts. He said he would have to simply cut out the whole old piece and weld in a new one.
This was almost a month ago and many hundreds of miles with no leaks. He even installed the new O2 sensor I had free of any additional charge and had it done early by 4 pm.
I am happy with the speed, especially with the short notice and the work was good. I recommend Dan Fast.”
“Absolutely unbelievable customer service! I couldn't recommend any higher! Had an exhaust rattle, no clue what it was going to cost me to fix it, they threw it up on the lift had it fixed in five minutes and said no charge. I'll bring them all the rest of my work!”
“Personable, professional, first class. I am from out of state and they were very helpful and knowledgeable. It is easy to see why they have a 5 star rating. Thank you, and Bellevue residents you should have comfort knowing that you have such an honest reliable place to take your vehicle.”
“No BS at all came in asked to have the Heat Shield on my Chevy Cobalt TAC welded to fox the rattle. They instantly knew what was wrong and had it all fixed in less than an hour! I highly reccomend these guys to anyone who wants the straight up facts without any bs!”
“No BS, just the straight facts. I have older cars (2004, 2005) and asked them to fix a couple things and look them over. They found several small things that most shops would have dug in your pockets. These guys were matter of fact, don't fix it now, keep your eye on it. I'll be back.
“No-nonsense guys that will tell you how it is. They ran a diagnostic on my car when the engine light came on and fixed it the following morning within 2 hours. It's first come first serve so get there early!”
Great customer service, honest and set to fix the problem. These guys didn't charge me for 'guess' work, they searched for the problem, found it and fixed it fast. Definitely recommend these guys.”
“High recommendation. Both my husband and I have gone to Dan's and both times they solved our car problems, were courteous, fast and reasonable. Another place in town ripped us off. We will go back to Dan's for sure.”
“These guys rock! Save yourself time and go here first. Meineke wanted $500 for a muffler on an '04 crossfire. Went here and they did it for $140. Not only that, they were quick and understand that people don't know a lot about exhaust... or care for that matter! Thank you guys! Top notch service!”
“Am just pleased with the honest people there. I went in for a small job of exhaust pipe and they did the work in 10 mins. I just had to wait 10 mins. They were honest and gave me a feel of the problem and got it fixed very quickly.”
“Excellent and Affordable. I went here for brake work on my '06 Murano based on positive internet reviews from other customers and what I thought was a high estimate from my dealer. Dan Fast did the work for just over 1/3 of the what the dealer was going to charge me. They called me before proceeding with the work after checking out my car so there were no suprises. I'm still in the break in period but everything is working fine. I'd go back here again for brake work and will go here for exhaust work when the time comes. Highly recommended.”
Been going here ever since I could drive and that was 15 years ago. Ever car I've ever owned and needed or wanted exhaust work, I take here. There's no one else I trust not to take advantage of me and that does great work.”
“My family has gone here for every truck/SUV we've ever owner for after market mufflers. He never disappoints.”
“I went to this shop based on the 12 previous google reviews which were all excellent. I had recently completed a brake job on our van, and was having some issues. Not only did they listen to my drawn out saga, they offered advice and took a look at my handy work to verify everything was okay and sent me on my way free of charge. Honest and helpful means that any future work I need done on our vehicles will be completed by Dan Fast Mufflers. Thanks!”
“Just had my muffler changed this morning, it took half an hour altogether and coasted decent $136, plus it's close to Bellevue downtown which is very convenient for me :)
Anyway great work guys!”
“Came in twice to have some minor issues get looked at relating to my exhaust system and then my brakes (major hassle, turned out to be easily fixed in both cases). Both times I was in and out within 10 or 20 minutes and they didn't charge for the fixes in both cases. Obviously you can't expect to pay nothing every time you want to get your car fixed, but it was a testament to how they don't nickle and dime you.
If they read these, I just want to say THANK YOU. I'll definitely return.”
“These guy's are the BEST. Never any problems with pricing or quality of work. I am a customer for life.”
“One of the brackets on my exhaust piping broke and my muffler had been bouncing back and forth, up and down, clunking around... very annoying! I did a quick search and read the 3 reviews online which they all seemed to have good experiences. I stopped by during my lunch break and was in and out in 10 MINS TOTAL!!! No I am not exaggerating one bit. I pulled in, told them the problem, they got my (lowered) car up on the lift, welded, off lift and DONE! Though my problem was an easy fix, I came unannounced and was gone in 10 mins. Pretty darn good if you ask me. Bottom line, great, fast service!! Highly recommended.
“I went to Dan Fast after reading good reviews that were written one or two years ago. I have no reservation in recommending anyone who needs muffler job or other services now based on my own experience.
My car was rear ended and I suspected the muffler was damaged because it appeared that the car was noisier than before. Aaron, the service advisor, examined the muffler, found no defect, asked more information from me, checked again, explained to me what he had looked for and offered to look under the hood for additional possible causes of the noise.
And they charge nothing for all the troubles even though I offered to pay.”
“Extremely busy when I pulled in late morning on Tuesday, but Ivan greeted me within a few minutes, looked at my Scion xB and said to because of a day and a half backlog on existing jobs to come back Thursday morning to have my missing exhaust tip welded on. Did so and job was done within an hour. They don't take appointments, but deal on a first come, first serve basis. Quality is worth waiting for, and I would definitely recommend this business to all my friends.”
Last week I had an amazing experience with Houston at Dan Fast muffler in Bellevue.
I was excited about taking a motorcycle ride with the first warm weather. When I got on the 520 I noticed a bracket supporting my exhaust was broken. He stopped what he was doing and got me on the road immediately. That just doesn't happen in this busy world today! I will always be a Dan Fast customer in the future.
Thanks Again!
“Dan Fast has always taken care of my '07 Mercedes SL55 AMG. I took her there to get a set of AMG ceramic exhaust tips put on, and they handled the job efficiently and professionally. I've had to take the car back a few times since for a few things and they've always helped me out. I always make sure to call in the morning ahead of time to find out what their availability is, as the shop can sometimes get a rush of walk-in work in a very short amount of time. The shop is generally first come, first serve, but even if your scope of work is a bit more involved, they won't have you out of your vehicle for a long amount of time. Check them out, nice group of guys!”
“Great service at attractive price. They are very professional and give me an estimate for all the service before I made my decision. I got the back brake pad and rotor replace, front rotor resurface and brake fluid flush. It cost about 40% less than Other bigger ahop”
“Great place! Super friendly and efficient. Ran into a barrier causing the plastic bottom of the back bumper to come off on one side. My dad recommended I stop by for a consultation (he had a great experience fixing his muffler). 10 minutes later the bumper is all fixed and for free!”
“I would highly recommend this place to anyone. I have a really old Diesel Truck and its hard to find someone / a mechanic that is truthful. Although they could not fix the problem because they don't really deal with Diesel.... They got me in and out, and told me what the problem was and pointed me in the direction of a mechanic that would be able to service it.
“I like this place very much! My car had a hole in the exhaust pipe. FireStone guys were happy to change it for $900+. Houston quoted $50, spend about 20 minutes welding, and charged $40. This is what I call honest service. Will bring my car to them next time when I need a repair.”
If you have any issues with your car, you have to go see them. I have been to a lot of shops around the area (including dealerships) and these guys are top of the line quality and service. They will beat dealer pricing and service any day of the week. They not only do exhaust but they do so much more, i.e. tune ups, oil changes, broken lights, and minor body work! It might be a small shop but huge on quality and service. Thanks Houston, you have more than earned our business for all 3 of our cars.”
“This place is awesome and busy for a reason. Mr. Houston is an amazing person and is very knoweledgble. Just had my new Audi's exhaust done and it is fantastic. I recommend this place as it was reffreferred highke by University Audi. Thanks Mr. Houston for making this process a memorable one.”
“The guys at Dan Fast are courteous and professional. Houston helped me with an exhaust issue for my 1995 Acura Integra. The inner exhaust pipe had worn out the sound deadening material and Houston took care of the problem for a great price and the same day.
They also do other repair and maintenance work as well. I'll be considering them if I need anything else done in the future.”
“Dropped a 2001 BMW M5 off in the morning for a muffler delete, provided my own tips and showed Aaron a picture of what I wanted. He knew exactly what to do and finished with the car later that afternoon. Quality of work was fantastic, price was reasonable, the car sounds amazing, and he even offered to hold on to my removed mufflers for a few days in case I changed my mind. Just a great experience overall.
**2nd Review Below**
I wanted to write another review because just when I thought Dan Fast couldn't get any better they impressed me again with the installation of an aftermarket exhaust on my '16 BMW M4. Houston went above and beyond in ensuring a perfect install. His patience, dedication, and attention to detail is incredible and I can not recommend this shop enough.”
“Best experience I've ever had with a shop...and that's a lot of experience. I brought my 2003 Nissan Pathfinder to these guys after getting a quote from Meineke in SODO area. My tailpipe was detached from the muffler. First, I called the dealership as I was trying to this fixed quickly. They told me to call Dan Fast which I did but they were busy for a couple days (dealership doesn't do welding and they told me it would be $1300 to replace the parts). So for starters, I appreciated the dealership not trying to rip me off. I live in Seattle, wanted this done quickly, so I went to Meineke in SODO. They quoted me $1500 to replace the parts I needed and would not be able to weld. I called Dan Fast back, they said it would still be a couple days but bring the car by. They replaced most of the parts, welded the pipe, and out the door it costed $385.
Houston, the shop manager, is an awesome guy and I couldn't recommend these guys enough. They have my business for life.”
“I came here a year ago with my old 2002 Ford Focus that I had bought for $1000. There were some serious issue with break fluid leakage, and the car had gotten completely dangerous to drive. Since the car was originally from Michigan, it had taken quite the beating with salted roads, and the engine was rusted. They were able to repair my car and make their own in-house replacements for parts they couldn't find locally. The bill came out to about $430. I don't know anything about cars, and Dan Fast gave me piece of mind with their service.
I'm not sure if the cost would have been cheaper elsewhere, but they did speedy service and allowed me to drive the car for another 6 months (the repairs honestly would have lasted longer, but I retired the car to buy a new one). Thanks Dan Fast!”
Was visiting family in Redmond and had a loud rattle pop up on my car. Was able to visit the shop on a Saturday afternoon, the staff was great- prompt service, honest feedback and fixed the rusted bolt on my heat shield, all for no charge! Big thanks to Houston and his team saving me before a 5 hour drive home. Highly recommend.”
“Houston is the new sheriff in town (Bellevue) when it comes to exhaust work. Ed, who recently retired, was great with his welding skills and knowledge on exhaust systems. However, after retiring, Houston took over the Bellevue location and is taking exhaust service to the next level. Not only is Houston (and his staff, including Jorge) extremely competent with exhaust systems, they are personable, they LISTEN to and HEAR customer's needs, and their prices for parts and labor are very competitive. Houston is a perfectionist as he will ensure his customers are totally satisfied with their exhaust services. Whether it be replacing a stock OEM exhaust system or a creating custom exhaust system due to customer's modifications, Dan Fast and Houston is your one-stop shop for exhaust work. The latter relates to my situation as I modified my 1986 GMC Sierra Classic SWB pickup truck's suspension warranting a custom system from the catalytic converter back to the tail pipes.
Houston noticed that I spent time a considerable amount of time upgrading my truck's suspension: lowering the front 4.5" and the rear 7" along with adding new larger sway bars (front and back), coil springs, shocks, ball joints and spring hangers, to name a few. He wanted to ensure that my new exhaust system matched the level of work that I had done to my suspension. That's the reason I noted he was a perfectionist. He quoted me $XXX to do the job and I agreed to the estimate for about 2 hours of service plus parts (tail pipes, clamps, hangers, tips, etc.). Realistically, it took Houston much longer to complete and he informed me that he wanted to do the job correctly so the truck would not be ready until the next morning. I was fine with the updated delivery schedule as I told Houston to take his time and do the work correctly, the first time, as many of us have busy schedules.
Houston provided me with an exhaust system, second to none. ALL of the welds/welding were nice, clean and full - no little spot welds, here and there - full welds completely around each fitting. The muffler and tailpipes are level as well. I am still blown away that there are guys who take pride in their work, and Houston's exhaust work truly enhanced the look (and sound) of my GMC truck. Amazing and Wow are two words that express how I feel about his work.
I priced out similar exhaust work at Midas and Stan's (mandrel bends) but they were respectively 1.5x - 3x more in cost than Dan Fast Bellevue. And these were estimates. I'm sure after finishing the work, my exhaust system at either of these locals would have been cost prohibitive for me.
Now that the suspension and exhaust are dialed in, I can finally get the truck into the body work and paint stages, still in time to enjoy our beautiful Seattle summer weather.
100 thumbs up to Houston and his staff at Dan Fast Bellevue!
My classic 1970 Corvette will be your next project. Guaranteed!
Thanks again Houston for your knowledge, patience and understanding of my needs.”
Nice staff, great work. No reservations is a hassle and parking lot is cramped but all good.”
“Best service on a car I have ever had!
The attention to detail, reasonable turn around, and fair pricing is not something I have experienced with any other auto service I have had in the past. Aaron and the technicians at Dan Fast EXCEEDED ALL of my expectations. I was referred a while back, and really glad I took an opportunity to take my truck to them. It runs beautifully and feels like a new truck!
Thank you so much for everything!”
Dan Fast did a break job for me in one day. I was quoted double down the street. Without knowing of or I'm using them before they offered the right price, quality and timing. I will never go anywhere else.”
“Been going to this location for years. Aaron stands by his work with his lifetime warranty on brake pads, and always quotes reasonable prices for the excellent work he does. He also accepted pads/rotors I purchased elsewhere and just charged labor to install them. Aaron has saved me $$$ compared to dealership service prices.”
“Super honest and trustworthy. Left my vehicle with them for a brake check assuming I needed replacement due to grinding noise. They called a couple hours later and said that my brakes were in great shape and that the noise was due to pad composition and glazing on rotors. They offered to clean up the rotors and put it back together and ready in an hour. When I picked up the car, they handed me the keys and said "no charge." Thank you so much to Dan Fast Muffler & Brake! They have earned a customer for life!
These guys have been around forever. They have done everything from a standard muffler in an old Blazer for me some 20 plus years ago to building custom exhaust replicated to look just like the original on a Mercedes (as original was no longer available) to taking an OEM BMW muffler, opening it, taking out a bezel and re sealing it for sound resonance. They are really a top notch outfit. They know what they are doing.”
“This is a great small business. They are focused on giving a quality service and a price that is not over priced. Just make sure to arrive right when they open because its first come, first served
“Smelled something extremely wrong on my way into work in DT Bellevue. Pulled over to find a shop on yelp and ended up at Dan Fast. Pretty convenient to have a rental car company in the same building, so that's a plus. Dropped it off with Aaron with no appointment and he called me after a short while to let me know the issue was a cracked CV boot. The smell was from the lubricant that had spilled out and landed on the cat - stinky, but thankfully not anything crazy expensive. Despite it being late morning at this point, he promised they'd get it back to me by the end of the day, and they did!
So I drive away feeling like a day that could have gone crazy bad on me ended up with a happy ending thanks to Aaron and his crew, but started to notice a funny vibration in the floor pan and through the pedals. I took it back to them and they decided that the new axle assembly they installed must not have been balanced (manufacturing flaw). They took the car back in and swapped it out for another new one, free of charge, again with same day service.
Drove it away and the problem was better, but not gone. I called Aaron and he was frustrated but very apologetic for the inconvenience. He concluded that the batch of axles they were ordering from must all be flawed, and offered to order and install an OEM part free of charge. When the part arrived he called me up, I dropped it off, and he had it back to me in three hours.
Aaron absorbed triple labor to get the job done with a good part on the third try, and even though he solved it with a more expensive part, he never once asked me to pay a penny to help with their cost or lost labor even though it wasn't their fault either. Good service, fair prices, and EXCELLENT customer service.”
“Aaron and his crew are awesome. I brought my car to add mufflers today on to a custom cat back and after a few hours it was done. The sound is perfect and the guys did an awesome job. I was then shocked on what Aaron charged, these guys are the best!”
They are the best. We will never take our car anywhere else. Ever.
We had a guy do our timing belt for general maintenance and he didn't get the timing right after and totally destroyed our car (we had Sears & Dan Fast diagnose it and they both said the timing was off). It had SO many issues after that. Dan Fast not only helped us get it fixed, but they spent over 3 weeks working on our car, redid the timing belt 3 times just to make sure it wasn't something they had missed, and only charged us for the initial labor and parts we were quoted. We live in West Seattle and it's kind of a drive to get there...but it's totally worth it. Seriously, don't go anywhere else.”
“My brothers have come here for years, so I always knew about the place. Well i finally needed some exhaust work done and I was not let down. I ordered an aftermarket system that did not fit correctly at all, despite being made for my car.
They customized it and were able to get the cross-member not to rub anymore and the leak between gaskets gone, and chopped off an un-needed crossbar on the exhaust itself. Like most other people have said, service was very low pressure. I dropped it off at 8:30 and it was ready by noon.
I will be back in the future...possibly to have my brakes done!”
“The muffler to tailpipe flange rusted through on my 2010 Infiniti QX56 and for a second I thought about taking it to one of those muffler chains, but I am glad I took my truck to Dan's instead.
One of the chains would have undoubtedly told me to replace the muffler and tailpipe. I knew I just needed a repair that would attach the muffler to the tailpipe without having to spend a ridiculous amount of money.
When I pulled into Dan's this morning, I was put at ease when I saw a Mercedes AMG 6.3 and a newer BMW M3 in line to get repaired. Why? If folks driving those kind of cars trust this repair shop, that's a great sign. I wasn't disappointed.
I explained my issue and the gentlemen quickly told me it shouldn't be a problem to fix. They looked at my truck and said they would have it done in one hour for - $90. That's it. They did a great job of fixing it as they welded the two together, which is always a better fix than trying to put some split flanges on there instead. Trust me - their work is superior to any chain shop you would go to.
Their service sets the standard and their automotive repair skills are superior to the dealerships. Trust me, I know cars and I also know how to work on cars. They are good - real good.
“My regular mechanic in Duvall told me to go to Dan Fast for my Subaru catalytic converter problem. The heat shields rattled and just got worse and worse. Thinking it would probably be costly I put it off for two months, and finally took it in. They were so helpful and explained how the metal on the shields get so hot they break the welds and start to rattle. They fixed me up in just two hours and charged $72 which was a heck of a lot less than a whole new converter, which I'm certain the dealer would have told me I needed. I will definitely go back to Dan Fast if I ever need repairs that he would do and recommend them.”
“I reached out to Aaron at Dan Fast on Friday 6/10/16 and inquired about getting a muffler replacement...he said come on in on Saturday anytime as they don't take appointments. Upon arriving Saturday I had the pleasure of meeting and discussing issues about my 2003 Mazda Protege with Ed. It was very low-key and a relaxed atmosphere with no pressure. As a customer I found this very refreshing and comforting. Left the vehicle for the repair as well as the request for a check of my brakes and shocks/struts as a precaution to make sure everything was on the up and up. Glad I did this as I found out that my rear brakes needed attention. My front brakes will need attention in the future, but Ed was honest and said I had some time before that work was required. So I was able to get that all that fixed with the original muffler job the same day. Through all of this I was confident and assured that my car was in good hands with people I could trust. I will absolutely be returning for any future work needed. Keep up the amazing work and experience that makes Dan Fast a standout business that a customer can trust and get quality work done at a very fair price.”
“I called them on 5/12/2016 Thursday 9:30 am to see if they could fix a muffler on my Chevy G20 van. Aaron asked me if I could leave it for the day and I said only if I could pick it up before 4:30 pm because I needed my vehicle that night. He said Yup! Dropped it off around 10:00 went back to work. Aaron called me around 11 saying I needed a new Magnaflow muffler and a few tubes and labor quote: $411 total with tax. I said go for it man. They called me around 12:30 pm and said it was all done. I was pleasantly surprised at how fast they finished. I went there, Paid up, and crawled on the ground to visually inspect it. The Magnaflow muffler and nice new 3" pipe with quality welds looked lovely. Sound is awesome, nice and quiet "Stealthy" like I asked for. I don't wake up the girlfriend's neighbors' at 2am anymore :-P
Absolute 5 stars for quality of work, FAST work time, brand name muffler not some cheap piece of junk, and for just plain being an honest business. I came here because of all the 5 star reviews specifically. And now i'm giving one. I spoke with Aaron for the initial work, and Paid Ed who works through lunch, because apparently I came in on everyone's else's lunch time. Thanks Dan Fast, I'll be back!!
“This is stupid - but I'm REALLY picky about my exhaust system. I have a 1998 Chevy truck (not a collectable, but I like it) and my dad was in the muffler/exhaust business for 30 years. I know what I'm looking at when I look at workmanship. I finally had to replace the glasspacks from 2003 my dad put in himself. Dan Fast replaced them with a magnaflow two in/two out. The quality of workmanship - the welds are flowed and even, without any sign of pitting, undercutting, or cracking - is outstanding. They give good, low talk, no selling service, and then the work product is fantastic. A good exhaust system can only be done by a person who is a combination of composer and surgeon, and these dudes are both.
“I'd give six stars if I could. Best mechanic experience ever. Took my car in unexpectedly when I heard a scraping sound coming from the rear brake knowing it would be at least the pads and likely more (my car has 230,000 miles). Aaron the manager was super easy to talk to, straight shooter with no over sell. Quoted me a very fair price for after market decent quality pads and rotors over the phone. When they got into the actual work it turned out we couldn't save my calipers unfortunately (understandable given the car's mileage, see above) but Aaron called me up and basically offered to replace them at cost only. Seriously I got quotes from a couple other shops I trust and they were hundreds of dollars more than this place. I told my colleagues who really know cars and they couldn't believe it either. I returned later that same day to pick up the car and she was good to go! Aaron showed me the work they'd done under the car and I could see all the new parts installed and quality looked good. The bill was a little bit under their final quote. Couldn't ask for more! Definitely will use for any similar work in the future and recommend to my friends. Thanks Aaron!
“These guys give great, honest service, and have reasonable pricing. I can't recommend anyone better.”
“This place is awesome! I enjoy coming in here for quality exhaust work done on my cars. The employees here are super chill and are more than willing to help you out on what your wants & needs are. Jerry has done numerous exhaust work on my A4 and on my STI and needles to say, he has done an fantastic job. He is also very easy to talk to, and works his ass off. Ed is also another employee that I enjoy talking to, as he knows what he is doing and is reasonable and knowledgable on what needs to be done. The place is quite busy on the weekends, but they are 100% if they'll get to your car or not, which is understandable if they are super busy with work. Best time to come in is early on weekdays! Overall, I enjoy coming in and talking to the employees whenever I need something done. This is a quality business and I will recommend this shop to anyone in the Bellevue region. Ed, Jerry, and Aaron, keep doing what you're doing! All your hard work is much appreciated! :-)”
“They are fast! They are also friendly and well priced. Another shop said they had to replace the entire exhaust system. Dan Fast was able to fix the problem. Yeah my truck is quiet again!”
“Honest, and fast! I will bring all of our vehicles here from now on. Thank you for great service!”
“Just had some muffler work done on my car and Dan Fast is great! Fast, fair price and friendly!”
“Thank you for doing such a great job on my s500! Highly recommend these folks!
“Quick, courteous and very fair. Based on my experience working with Aaron I wouldn't go anywhere else. He's gone out of his way to help me with exhaust upgrades on my 2014 Ram 1500 even when he was busy. It's hard to find an honest shop like this.”
“Great, cheap, quick same day service! This place is a HUGE life saver and amazing discovery! It is every bit as reliable as previous reviews imply! I will definitely be back! This place is one of a kind.”
“This review is long overdue...
Since I moved to Seattle area almost 4 years ago, accidentally bumped into this shop, and as a owner of two ~10 yr old passenger cars, my experience with this shop has been nothing short of complete satisfaction. Their honest opinion and repair suggestions just keep keeps them stay on the top of my list when it comes to auto repair. Small stuff like brake repair/maintenance, to one pretty puzzling crankshaft sensor failure, i can always count on their honest diagnostic and recommended fixes.
Compared with more commonly seen "overblown" diagnostics, "ballooning" fix solutions, and associated "escalating" costs from some other shops, this is THE shop i'd recommend to anyone in the area.”
“I had the most pleasant experience working with Dan Fast Mufflers. They changed my oil, brake pads and installed custom exhaust on my vehicle. I plan on using them for all my vehicle maintenance and repair.
“They single-handedly saved me nearly $750 by doing a test of back pressure on my Altima. Another company washed to charge me $970 because they thought it was my front cat that needed replaced but Aaron at Dan Fast tested it, found out it was my far less inexpensive lower rear cat and it ended up being only $260 and my car is now running like a champ. Aaron and his team are incredible. They deserve your business”
We stopped in to find out if we could make an appointment for a trunk torsion rod to be replaced- and to our surprise, a really nice guy came out of the shop to do the installation right then and there.
It was summer and sweltering- not at all a day when I would want to be wedged in a hot trunk doing a stubborn, awkward part replacement. But the guy was cool, even though the weight of the trunk fell on his back at one point. The kicker was that he told us there was no charge, and just told us to come back when the car had something really wrong.
We definitely will be back- it was a pretty fantastic experience (although I feel really badly about the guy's back! Stupid trunk.)”
“There were a couple of issues with getting the repair to happen. Logistics issues with parts being shipped to the wrong place, that sort of thing. Not sure that's Dan Fast's fault, and I'll blame that on the Christmas shipping rush. I had a major road trip that needed to happen, and wanted the repair done before that trip. They made it happen, and I now have a working hand brake, etc.
And today, I stopped in just to get them to replace my neutral position switch. I had ordered the part, and was going to do it myself, but access is a little awkward w/o a lift. They did it for me, and didn't charge me a dime. Good guys.”
“A few months ago I had this shop repair my rear brakes. I had initially went to the dealer for a quote, and Dan Fast was half the cost, and could repair it in just a few hours. The best part was that I did not have to make an appointment time, just a "drop it by when you have time".
Last week I heard a noise coming from the brakes again, and took it in again. The found that one of the replacement parts had failed and needed replacement. They completely stoof behind their work, and charged me nothing for the repair. All staff was very pleasant.”
“I recently came in to have my resonator replaced. These guys were absolutely terrific. Their staff members are friendly, helpful, caring, and very knowledgeable. I received a great quote, including a discount if I wanted to have some additional work done. They also provide guidance for the best time to have the work done to avoid a long wait.
The work was completed on time and my car sounds normal again.
I am very satisfied with the work they did and the service they provided.
TIP: You cannot access Dan Fast Brakes if you are heading East on NE 12th Street. You need to be heading West on NE 12th Street to access the facility.”
“My car was making a weird noise for quite sometime and I got it checked at my regular auto service person. He quoted me a whopping $1500 and told me the catalytic converter is rattling because its broken etc. Then I decided to take a second opinion and called Dan fast in Bellevue. It little further from where I live (Redmond) but decided to take a chance. Aaron quoted me the least from everyone I called for quotes and then left my car there. They called me to tell me that nothing was broken only a catalytic converter cover was loose and they tightened it. To top it all they did that for free!!
For me this is exceptional service and they now have a customer for life. Next time something happens to my car I am taking it to Dan fast in Bellevue. I highly recommend them to everyone.
“This was a great experience. After talking to a few shops, I was expecting to have my car in repair for a few days and big bill to go with it.
Dan Fast Muffler & Brake was 3rd one on the list and by far the best one, They got my car in the same day, had it ready in a few hours and charged me 45% less than anyone else quoted me. In addition, they were super friendly and nice. Customer representative who helped me was Aaron.
Give them a try!”
“Pros: Honest, professional and reasonable
Cons: Probably very popular so it could take a while when the day is busy.
Ed apparently knows what he's doing and treats your car/truck like his own. That's what I like most about this place.
Two years ago I was referred here to have my old truck exhaust fixed up, part of it was rusted pretty bad and the options are either to cut and replace part of it or the whole thing. They could have persuaded me to replacing the whole thing which costs more for me and is less work for them but they didn't. Instead they replaced only the rusted part that was necessary.
Just a few days ago I took my wife's Jeep in to check out the brakes. Earlier a dealer recommended me to resurface rotor and replace pads. So I brought it here to have them double check. They drove the truck, inspected the brakes and told me nothing was wrong except they are slightly glazed. Also there's enough left on the pads. When I came in was assuming at least pads needs to be replaced and maybe a resurface is needed. Now instead of taking the easy money they made objective recommendations which I think every mechanic should do.
I'm taking my car to them for the next brake job for sure.”
“These guys are awesome.
I have found mechanics in the past whom I've liked working with for a period of time but sooner or later they end up trying to screw me on price or sell me repairs that are not really needed. After 1 1/2 years of work with the Dan Fast team I have nothing but positive things to say.
Very honest. Highly recommended.”
“Son was new to Seattle area, and his exhaust went out during my visit. Got a referral from Honest Auto Repair up to Dan Fast's. Super pleased with son's treatment there. The problem was identified and resolved for fair price. Equally important, felt very strongly that only required work was done (after all, it is an older model car with high mileage and no one can guess how much life it even has in it) at fair and reasonable price.”
“I purchased an aftermarket exhaust and had it installed by Dan Fast back in 2008. After 6 years, the muffler had given up and needed replacement. Aaron, the manager gave a very fair price on a magnaflow, which is a much better piece of hardware than what i drove in with. The labor quote was also very conservative, considering how much custom fitting, tube bending, and welding was required. The tech was extremely thorough and you can see a lot of professionalism in the quality of the work performed. The weld work especially was top notch. I will recommend Dan Fast over and over until i have a reason not to. They are a no frills operation though, so don't expect lattes and fox business channel on the TV.”
“I went to Dan Fast to replace my car's muffler and they quoted 50% less than Midas( read: swindlers). My maxima had 2 tailpipes and Ed explained me that having 2 tailpipes for my car model is just ornamental and does offer any performance benefits. It would just cost me additional $60-$70 extra. I definitely recommend these guys for your car's next service need.”
I purchased an aftermarket exhaust and had it installed on my 2012 Mustang by a cheap muffler shop and had to take it back three times to fix a rattle... and it never got fully fixed. I finally took it to Dan Fast in Bellevue after reading positive reviews online. It was a nice Friday afternoon just shortly before their closing time. The guy who helped me seemed to be a manager or person in charge. There looked to be quite a few cars being worked on but he told me he could take a quick look at it. Five minutes later he's done and the rattle is completely gone. I asked what I owed him and he said "Have a nice weekend." Why can't more auto shops be kind and genuine like this one? He just had to tighten some screws and did not come out and lie about it to make me pay a bunch of money for something that was a quick fix. Great service!”
Well needless to say based on the rating I gave, this place is top notch. I needed my brakes redone. Dan Fast was the 3rd place I went for an estimate. The first place wanted 1100.00, the second almost 600.00 and Dan Fast beat both easily and wanted to do more work than the other two places recommended. They took time to explain what they needed to do and why. I expressed to Aaron, the manager, that I feel it's hard being a woman with a car in this town because of how I am treated and taken advantage of due to my lack of knowledge. I probably won't take my car anywhere else to get work done. I'm thankful the search is over for finding a mechanic that is worth my money :-)”
Took my friends car to have a new muffler put on since hers fell off, these guys were great they were the only shop in the area that didn't insist on rebuilding the whole exhaust for 500+ dollars and they were okay with using the muffler I had purchased. They ended up replacing piping all the way to the cc since the exhaust had holes and did it for a very reasonable price and in a timely manner. On a side note looks like they had some beautiful classic cars in there garage and had just finished installing a performance header on the customers car before me so obviously these guys know what they are doing.EDIT: bringing my review up to 5 stars i recently bought a new car and wanted a custom exhaust i came with a strict budget and they not only gave me more than i expected but they went slightly under budget. the system makes a great noise and i am very happy. i would refer anyone to this shop but just go early! these guys can get busy. off topic many people said that they would come for something small and not get charged, i witnessed this at least 3-4 times while i was waiting.”
I am so impressed with the honesty of Dan Fast Muffler. Yesterday, I brought my Ford Focus in for a check up, including the brakes which had been making some noise lately. It had been a couple of years since I had replaced them and was expecting to replace the pads and possibly the rotors. To my amazement, the Dan Fast team drove my car around, TWICE and determined it was just some dust on the brakes and there was no service necessary. There was no charge. It is wonderful to find an honest car repair shop. Thanks guys- I will be back.”
“Quick, convenient location (for me) and fair price. Had them install dual-exhaust on a classic car and am very happy. Would use again.”
“These guys run a car maintenance service place like they should all be run. Honest, knowledgeable, and extremely fair prices. They don't just do mufflers either. I can't say enough good things about these guys. They are my new 'go to first' place above all others. THANKS for putting me back on the road when my former repair guys of 30 years failed to do. These guys ROCK!”
“Aaron and Ed along with the rest of the team are amazing!!!
I purchased after market mufflers online and got the wrong size.
Brought them into Dan Fast and they found a great solution for me! T
hey were able to get my vehicle equipped with the mufflers and was extremely satisfied with the service! They are reliable, trustworthy, and honest!
Will continue to go to Dan Fast for all my vehicle needs!
“Aaron and the crew are awesome.
A couple months ago I took my M3 in to get some exhaust leaks sealed up - they got the car right in, found the leaks, and sealed them. Aaron handed me the keys and said "Have a nice day." I was stunned.
A month later, I hit something in the road which knocked something loose on the exhaust. Took it right back to Dan Fast - they took care of it and the charge for the work was less than I would have expected.
It's good old fashioned, wonderful service. I'm a customer for life.”
“This is unusual, but I wanted to praise DFMB for NOT working on my car.
You know how it goes-- take your car to the dealer, and everything is the matter with it. So reading all the good reviews here, I brought my car to DFMB for a second opinion. They were honest enough to say that everything checked out. My car didn't need any service at all. And they had cool photos in the reception area.
BTW, the aforementioned dealership rhymes with Smellvue Smackura.
“What a great shop! I took the car in with my muffler loose and in no time flat, as in dan fast fast, I was off and running and so reasonably priced that I was beyond amazed. GREAT people. The mechanic even showed me under the car what he was doing.
“Whoa, awesome place.
My muffler broke off when pulling into work this morning, so AAA came and tied it up for me until I could drag my car into Dan Fast, 6 blocks away from work. It was a slow day. The guy behind the counter said it would take about 20 minutes. It took 15.
My muffler was fixed up better than it had been before it broke in the first place. The best part? It was free.
Any other mechanic would have noticed the Microsoft parking pass in the rear window and charged me twice the price. But this guy said "it's a slow day, don't worry about it, have a nice day" and sent me on my way with no charge.
That is f-ing awesome service.”
“When I got a steering problem, which the 'play' of it became too much, I first brought the car to the Les Schwab as I thought it was due for alignment. LS said they can't align the wheels, because inner/outer tie-rods and the Centerlink are all bad, and it costs $800. I doubted about it, and brought the car to the Dan Fast.
They checked my car in the same day and said, "tie-rods and centerlink were all fine. It was a bad steering gear box". I trused Dan Fast, but since the new gear box is expensive($500), I asked them to get an used part. They said they can't do it, but they allowed me to get the parts by myself, then they can install it for $140. I got the used part for $60, and they replaced with it. And the result was.... Bingo! The problem was solved.
The alighment and wheel balance were also way out, so I had to do them at Midas (Dan Fast does not do those services, unfortunately), but my steering problem was all gone with $300. What would have happened if I believed Les Schwab, and replaced the un-related parts for $800? Since the problem wouldn't go away, they probably would have charge me for the right fix for additional $700 by telling me "Well.. There were additional issues we've found out" or something.
It was great to have reliable and honest repair shop like Dan Fast in my town. By the way, their name is Dan Fast "Muffler and Brake", but they do a lot of other things, like alternator/starter replacement, oil leak fix, steering related work, radiator pomp and timing belt things, etc, as well as oil changes. I highly recommend to ask them first to check with them to see if your problem is something they work on, before you bring your car to other repair/maintenance shops. They will save your time and money for sure.”
“Went in for an oil change, and they did it in 20 minutes without any reservation and ended WITHOUT giving me the typical long list of things that "need" to get done. No nonsense, I like that.”
“My Catalytic converter went bad on my 95 saturn, I brought it in and they went over it with me and showed me how I needed the Cat back and at first I was preparing to get hit with a huge bill, but then he told me they could get it done in a few hours for 550!!! they did it, it looks great and works great! I will be bringing my other cars back!!
Good job guys!”
“These guys are great--after being told my rotors were warped and would need to be replaced at one shop, Dan Fast was able to replace the front brake pads with no rotor issues. Approachable, amiable, awesome! I was in and out in about an hour, and felt well taken care of!”
“Aaron and the mechanics at Dan Fast Muffler is amazing. They truly understand their customers' need and take care of their customers.
I went into the shop today because my sister's car had developed a rattling noise. After quickly inspecting the vehicle, he quoted me a beyond reasonable price to fix the rattling noise.
Apparently one of the inner pipe in the exhaust system had detached from the outer pipe and was making the rattling noise. They drilled a hole in the exhaust and welded the inner pipe back to the outer pipe.
After coming back into the office, I briefly chatted with Aaron about how well they are reviewed on yelp.com. He told me he always tries to think in customers' shoes and does his best to fulfill their request at reasonable cost and time. Then when I proceed to pay, he actually changed his mind and told me he would take care of it. Wow!
I am very thankful that local auto shop like this exist and I will take my car and my parents's car to this shop whenever we need muffler or brake repairs!
I wish I can give more stars for not only a great service done by the mechanics but for Aaron's generosity :)”
“Aaron over here is amazing. I recently took my 92 Integra into a different shop for major service, timing belt, water pump, spark plug wires, gasket reseals, etc. I spent nearly $1500 there.
I had to get emissions done on my Integra, had an exhaust leak which required me to fix before I could pass emissions. The other shop said I needed a new muffler and would cost $260 plus tax.
A coworker referred me to Dan Fast in Bellevue. I took my car in, told them the issues. Apparently, I did not need a new muffler, I just had a hole in a connector pipe leading to the muffler. Dan fast replaced the part, after tax and labor, everything, it was only $117 and it was done in less than two hours while they were shorthanded!
I'm super thrilled and their pricing on brakes is extremely competitive too. They gained a lifetime customer and when I need brakes in another month or so, I will definitely be using them. These guys are extrememly honest, do great work, and have very competitive pricing. Highly recommended!!!!
“Honest, friendly customer service!
Great price!
Knowledgeable, swift service.
I'll definitely be back!”
“Rating - 5 stars means "Woohoo! As good as it gets". And that's what my experience was today. Granted, I came in for a fairly simple set of services, but it isn't just about the outcome, it's how they deliver the services as well.
I believe that there are two most important criteria one should use to evaluate an auto shop: competency and honesty. Yes, there's this thing called price, but good competency and honesty will also lead to affordable prices, because competency will allow them to finish the job quickly (less labor), and honesty will lead to affordable part prices.
Dan Fast showed me they had both of these quality today.
+ Brake service: Told me exactly what needs to be done, my rear pads are still very good, so there's no replacement needed there. $99 which includes rotor turning and good quality pads.
+ Brake Fluid flush: ~ $40 bucks, which is very reasonable. Dealership quoted me $62
+ Manual Transmission Fluid flush: $18 on parts, $12 on labor. And I requested Honda MTF. 2 qts were used but I think they ordered three because it's better to have extra than not having enough. Dealership quoted me about $6 a qt when I asked the other day. And if you have ever changed manual tranny fluid on a 7th gen honda, you know it will always take at least 45 minutes (and that's how much time it took them - filling the fluid takes a long time). Dealership quoted me $79
+ Coolant flush: $40, kinda standard. I forgot to ask the dealership for a quote so I can't really provide a comparison.
The final invoice shows parts, labors, and tax. None of that crappy "shop fee" that many other shops put on top of your bill (Shop fee usually is not expensive, but I always hate seeing it on my bill. Hey, it's part of running the business).
All in all, they finished everything in about 2 hours and a half, which meets my expectation.
The only recommendation/suggestion I would have for them is to get some wifi going on the waiting area so people can work (many people are tech employees around the Seattle area and will appreciate the ability to work while waiting for their car).”
“Dan Fast and Manager are awesome. I had some work done on two of my cars. One a minor weld that saved me a lot of money. The other a basic brake job for my son's Acura. My son does not use his car too often but had an incident where his lug nuts somehow came loose and damaged some brake components. I called Dan Fast in Bellevue to give them a heads up and was only looking for them to give us a fair price for some repair. My Son also called them explained the situation and was told not to drive the car that the Fast people would come to him and do the repair.
They did not want him to incur costs for towing which I was going to pay for or drive a potentially dangerous car to the shop. All said and done they thought about it and decided even if it was a slim chance it was their error after repair that was done months ago they did the repair at no charge. I am totally impressed with the integrity and pride that the Dan Fast people have shown my son. I will be taking all my cars there for any needs that are appropriate for them to do. I might ad I was also respected on the phone when I made my initial call. No put downs, disrespect, bad attitudes, the manager listened as was understanding. They are the real thing...good old fashion value and they care about their customers.”
Dans fast muffler is a best bang foe your bucks , I bought two aftermarket mufflers to get them weld on after trying 2 different shops they are asking 250+ of work fee and some of them don't even have the right tools so after looking on yelp I searched muffler shop and it show Dan's as the first one and it is close to my work place and I went. At first he quoted me about 180 + whatever parts he needs to add on so I was like okay and after only 1 and a half hour of work it's finally done and at the cashier he said 150 included tax . Wow that's over 100+ of savings and I looked at them while they work on my car. Very professional definitely recommending anyone there!”
I am so glad I accidently stumbled upon Dan's Fast... As a single lady in the area who knows nothing about cars, I am a mechanic's cash cow. I was so sure I needed 100's of dollars of work done.... and they called to not only inform me that I had plenty of time left but also that they wouldnt charge me for the check. Needless to say I have been back since with crazy stuff which they have fixed and charged so little. I am so happy to have them... in all honestly, what a Godsend!! Thank you, Guys... plus my uncle came with me last time and ended up turly respecting these guys!!!
**2nd Review Below**
I have gone in now several times to Dan's Fast and each time they are helpful, dilligent, and easy on the pocket book. From brakes I was sure I needed replaced to a pathfinder that had a "unknown wobble" they have researched and taken care of my car each time. I appreicate them so much and how honest and careful they are. Thanks Aaron!! Your the best!
“Big props to Aaron and the crew there at Dan fast muffler and brakes. Brought my 4runner in recently to have the brakes replaced on it along with getting some adjustments to me emergency brake. They quoted me a more than fair price, and had the work finished in less time than I expected.
This is the second time I've brought my truck in for repairs here and both times they've done great work and I've experienced nothing less than friendly and consummate professionalism. Four stars. Highly recommended!”
I went to Firestone to get my oil changed. When it was done, they told me I should get my brake pads changed and since one of the calipers were "frozen," I should replace the both of them. Total estimate - $400.
I called around to other places in Bellevue and Midas even quoted me ~$400-500. I took my car to Dan Fast to get a 2nd opinion. They checked it out for free and said the pads should be changed, but the calipers looked fine. Estimate for brake pad change - $130+tax. I called back Midas to ask how much just to change brake pads. They still wanted $200. So I went ahead and told Dan Fast to do it.
I dropped my car off on a Friday morning hoping to pick it up that evening. They were short-staffed that day so said it was at risk. Anyhow, I called them that evening and sure enough, they said one of the bolts in the caliper was stuck. So they spent extra time fixing the caliper AT NO CHARGE, and I was able to pick up the car the next morning. Saved me a ton of money. Highly recommended! Trustworthy, honest, and reliable!”
“Les Schwab wouldn't touch my Honda Civic Hybrid brakes and the dealership of course were going to charge me something outrageous. Discount Tires referred me to someplace extremely spendy. My landlord referred me to Dan Fast and the customer service was definitely great and James took the time to show me what was going on with my brakes, the difference between good brakes, worn brakes, and why my brakes were making the sound they were making. Plus the price was great. Definitely recommended and any of my friends will tell you, my seal of approval is rare.”
Highly recommend!! Excellent and quick service, competitive rates, honest work, friendly staff, can't say enough good stuff about these guys!!
I needed my muffler serviced, and although I wasn't able to afford the repair immediately they did reattach my muffler for me for free in about 5 mins. I called prior to coming in and was given an estimate over the phone, they took me into the repair shop to show me exactly what was going on with my car and were upfront about everything.
Definitely planning to return there for service on my car...
Great customer service; exceeded expectations!!! Had gone to Dan Fast for a catback exhaust upgrade a few years ago and had a good experience so when an aftermarket header purchased and installed elsewhere failed and my Jeep developed a leak at the manifold, I knew where to take it.
Aaron and the gang went above and beyond to find replacement parts to custom fabricate my exhaust system to better than ever.
I will definitely recommend Dan Fast to my family and friends!!!
“Great Service!
Reasonable Prices!
You can tell they know what they are doing!
They even looked at the Volvo once for me and welded something that had come loose for free, even though I had never been a customer there before. That in and of itself got my return business.”
I am writing this review because Dan Fast Muffler and Brake provided me with great customer service and maintenance on my brakes this past Saturday. Their quote was almost half of what the Volvo dealership had quoted me, and they were professional and polite. Took the time to show me exactly why / what needed to be replaced, and guaranteed their work for the life of my vehicle.
“Excellent, quick and honest service.”
“We needed a quick spot weld on our motorhome’s exhaust before traveling home 65 miles away. Jay took the stress out of our situation saying to just bring it in. When we arrived the motorhome was immediately in the shop and up on a lift. We were there around 15 minutes and the price was right! So grateful Dan Fast Muffler was recommended to us!”
“Thieves tried to jack my catalytic converter cutting halfway through the muffler pipe when they must have been scared off (my alarm possibly). Jeff, Jay and Darnell took care of me the next day by welding it up. I guess I got lucky it could have cost $1200.00 They didn't even charge me. They now have a customer for life as well as my friends and family.
I'm going to have them install a Cat Strap and Cat Eye Anti-theft system to prevent future attempts.
Thank you so much guys. Keep up the great work!!”
“Good people, they’ll help you out.”
“Great staff, expedient service.”
“5 stars!”
“Thank you Jay and shop for building me a custom exhaust! You went above and beyond my expectations and didn’t charge me an arm and a leg. These guys are awesome, you won’t regret paying them a visit. Professionals that are passionate about what they do and know their stuff. You can tell by the quality of the work, hands down. Absolutely didn’t expect it to be as good as it came out. Looks and sounds exotic!”
“I've been a happy customer at Jeff's Auto Repair in Lynnwood for many years, but they aren't set up to replace exhaust systems. They recommended Dan Fast to me when my catalytic converter died. Excellent choice! The guys at Dan Fast took my van right into a bay, and I had an estimate within 10 minutes. The price was better than I expected, which is always a plus for me. They gave me a ride home and picked me up again when the van was ready 2 hours later--exactly as promised. The results were amazing. The van is purring like a kitten, and there's still money in my pocket. Highly recommended!”
“I came in for a brake inspection and I sincerely appreciate their approach to pro-actively replacing more than just pads. I trusted their advice to replace the calipers and rotors based on the uneven wear. A lot of brake shops would just ignore that and get you out the door faster. These guys went all the way, even at the end of the week. Thanks!”
“Great bunch of guys I'll be sending my business there..
“Always a pleasure,in and out service at a great price never had to return for a re- repair.all the folks that work here are ppl like me too boot and guys I grew up with.i will continue going back.”
“Thanks Jay. New Borla's on my Vette. Installed perfectly level. Look awesome and sound even better. Great job and for a great price. As you promised.”
“Super service and very fair...highly recommend Dan Fast!

“I visited the Lynnwood, washington shop to repair a rotted out exhaust system (cat converter and tail pipe). This shop was absolutely outstanding.
They identified faulty repair work that was completed more than six years ago. They also installed the correct factory compliant parts and billed me for much less than I was charged in 2013.”

“The Bomb Fantastic”
“Great service, they took care of my jeeps heating issue and solve it right away. Honestly it has been the best repair service I have ever been in the Puget Sound. Thanks guys!”
These guys are awesome! My muffler fell off on my Civic and they replaced it with a nicer looking muffler in less than an hour! The price was $100 less than the other shop I received a quote from! Highly recommend Dan Fast”
“This place has some Really awesome guys that worked on both my car and my fiancé’s car. My car suddenly started to overheat and so I took it in and Dan Fast was AWESOME!!! I had to replace my car’s radiator and cooling fan switch.They were communicative and I didn’t feel like I was clueless about what was going on because they always communicated what they were doing from the start. Brandon was exceptional and I wanted to share my positive experience at Dan Fast, despite my horrible car situation.

“These guys might not be the cheapest place in town... But neither is their work. The level of attention to detail and the craftsmanship they displayed is the reason I will not go anywhere else in town. I love the guys at Danfast.”
“Every experience I have with these guys increases my trust in their integrity and competence.
“Went in as a couple to have a damaged drive train/line and catalytic converter fixed after being targeted by a hack saw chop. Dan Fast went above and beyond to get our only car in functioning order again.”
“Wonderful work great price and you cant beat the service. Someone stole my cat and they replaced it and also did great work on fixing my drive line.
“Very nice and they were fast in fixing my car
“They always treat me right. Prices are beyond reasonable. The work they do is why I keep going back. Everyone is so friendly and honest.”
“Showed up with a rattling exhaust and left 15 minutes later with no rattle. Great people who listened to my diagnosis and had recommendations that fixed the problem.
“I'd like to thank the team at Dan Fast in Lynnwood/Edmonds for the great job they did installing a new exhaust on my 1970 Cougar XR7! Headers fitted along with Magnaflow stainless mufflers and full exhaust and tips. They also installed upgraded StopTech front rotors, new calipers and brake lines along with new EBC pads (parts supplied by myself). In addition they replaced leaking rear axle seals and bearings and rebuilt the rear brakes. A few other items were also installed including front wheel bearings, spring perches/isolators and front shocks also supplied by myself.
Jay, Jeff, Brandon and Darnell all have my gratitude for their great customer service and care in making sure everything was done to perfection!
I would highly recommend Dan Fast and this team for your car mods/repairs! Job well done!!!”

“Dan Fast is great. They are honest and get you back on the road quickly.”
“I had some cutouts and mufflers put on my 64 Nova. They are not inexpensive but do excellent work. Fitment and welds are very well done. Would definitely recommend.”
“Honest, fast and friendly. Super cool guys.”
“Do great work at a very fair price. Very busy, so plan ahead.
“I had my car worked on at the Bellevue location about 14 months ago. I went back 4 times to have them take care of the noise . Every time, they welded multiple spots and lastly replaced the muffler. The noise became louder and louder. On my visit to lynnwood location, Jay the manager looked at the car and in less than a minute spotted the problem-cracked catalytic converter. I took the car back to bellevue and they replaced the C.C. but the noise became louder and engine light came on. I called Jay again and described the situation. He was professional, curteous and went above and beyond to take care of the problem. He asked me to take the car back to his shop and NOW they noticed the last work done on the car was a mistake. I trust the management and experienced crew at lynnwood location the most. To avoid any headache and frustration in future you must see Jay and his team to get the work done right, once and last.
I pulled in on zero notice and these boys really treated me right! Joe is awesome and had me out of the way in no time flat. Had an oil change, and he even looked into some leak issues i had with my sun roof. Come and see these guys if you want a job well done by some friendly people.
“5 Stars!”
“5 Stars!”
“Wow! Ive been going here for about 4 years and their service and knowledge is phenomenal. I work on my cars so when I have to take it to a shop, it's really bad. They just extract 2 broken suspension bolts that had broken ez out tap. They got everything done without over charging.
They are honest and upfront! I highly recommend this place and I am very glad that this shop is near where I live.
“5 Stars!”
“I highly recomend these guys. Honest, Fair & Competent. They will always give you the straight scoop and they do excellent work. When my previous mechanic of 20 years retired I found these guys and they have been my go to for the past three. When something comes up they are always my first call.
“I can't say enough great things about Greg and his team at Dan Fast. Greg, Jason, Jeff and David actually rescued us from a bad situation with another muffler shop that did terrible exhaust work. We were searching out someone who could help us that would not threaten us if we had a complaint or questions.
We went into Greg's shop with our 71 Chevelle having a bad exhaust leak, cheap exhaust pipe that was bent incorrectly, smashed exhaust pipe, shoddy welding, no hangers installed, pipe hanging 4" too low and simply resting over the rear axle.
Greg took the time to bring us in and show us what it would take to correct what had been done to us by the other shop. There was no going back to the other shop. When Greg and his team were finished I had brand new headers, Rimflex gaskets, mufflers, NICE exhaust pipe, painted welds, hangers, chrome tips the works! Greg was always available to us for questions or concerns. Always came to the phone, always helpful and a great attitude. They even changed my oil and fixed my power steering belt at no extra charge.
I would encourage anyone out there with a high performance vehicle, or your economy car, go see Greg and his guys before you go anywhere else. Believe me when I tell you, Greg and his team know what they are doing. They will take care of you.
Thank you to Greg, Jason, Jeff and David for all you did for us.”
Awesome experience. Greg took amazing care of my Mercedes!”
“I called up Dan's yesterday to see if they could help me out with a bad coupler that had been giving me grief for some time on my New Beetle exhaust system (3" Stainless Turbo back).
Walt told me to come on down and they would throw it on the lift to see if they could tack it togeather with a few welds.
Showed up, Walt had my car lifted and they not only fixed the coupler (had been installed backwards) but also tacked it for good measure. (took 15 minutes)
Once my car was off the lift, I reached in to grab my wallet and Walt told me to not worry about it.
This was at 2PM, and the shop looked pretty busy.
I will definitely be using Dan's for any other problems for my car in the future.”
“Walt was awesome, straight up not pushy didn't try to over sell me and got me in and out fast. The guys working on my truck were very professional and worked fast. Definitely recommend for fair price for quality workmanship.”
“I dropped by without an appointment. I wanted them to weld up a loose trailer hitch. He put my car on the lift, told me welding wouldn't work, then offered to torque it up with an air-wrench. He tested his work by dangling his 250 lb from the hitch. I was in and out in ten minutes. There was no charge, so I happily slipped them a $20.”
“Dear Dan Fast Lynnwood,
Thank you for the terrific job you did on my P30 Step Van.
She is runing like a champ! I have been going through a
very difficult time and really appreciate the hard work
Walt(the mgr.) and Jeff (the tech.)put into my truck.
After replacing both exhaust manifolds(cracked).
And extracting 7 or 8 frozen manifold studs.
They replaced my EGR sensor and burned plug wires at no extra charge!!!
DAN FAST RULES!
Thank you very much!

“These guys are just super! My heat shield rusted off my catalytic converter and Dan Fast had my car fixed in 15 minutes and at a great price. I highly recommend this business to anyone that needs exhaust related repairs. They exceeded my expectations in so many ways. Thanks!
“I went in one day in need of a piece of pipe. told the worker that i need it xx diameter and xx long. i wasnt even there 10 mins and the worker had the piece exactly to what i had asked for. cheap too! excellent service. i would trust them with my car

“Huge thank you to the entire crew for an amazing experience. I bought a new truck day before yesterday and wanted a new exhaust. After checking a bunch of places and reviews online, Dans came in the best. They scheduled me first thing this morning and I dropped my truck off. They gave me some suggestions on how they could better accommodate my exhaust and although it was higher in price then I wanted to spend, it was worth every penny. I am firm believer in the saying that "you can't put a price on amazing customer service" and I find this to be very true. I got to speak with all the techs and they were all amazing. I got to chat it up for a few hours with them it felt like I was hanging out with some buddies. Thank you to the entire crew for making this such a great experience and you have life long customer now. I highly recommend anyone who is seeking work on their vehicle to come check out Dans. They are transparent, fair prices, honest, and more then anything very understanding.”
“I Just had a killer experience with Houston at Dan Fast muffler. I hopped on my motorcycle and was looking forward to my first nice weather ride... then tragedy struck and I noticed a very unfortunate break in an exhaust pipe bracket as I merged onto 520. I drove straight to Dan Fast and Houston totally welded it up without hesitation in about 15 min .. I am now back on the road. Really appreciate it... Thank you!!!”
“I went in because my car was making an intense revving noise when I turned (Jay at Dan Fast said it sounded like a garbage truck). The great thing was I didn't need an appointment, I just showed up on a Saturday morning. A friendly dude named Jay helped me out. Took my keys, checked out under my hood and speculated the issue was the rack and pinion, which he said would be a costly repair. Left my keys with him and hoped for the best.
Came back later that day and Jay told me he was right - power steering/rack and pinion issues. Plus I was out of steering fluid. He replaced the fluid at NO COST, didn't charge me for the diagnostic, and suggested I hold on doing the costly repairs. When I told him I was planning on selling the car, he said he wouldn't do the repairs at all, but to disclose to potential buyers what the issues were (love that honesty).
WILL BE GOING BACK. All around great customer service and great vibes.
Very professional, honest, and genuine. Oh, and quick!”
Great shop with even better techs and guys behind the desk. Outstanding customer service and communication. Plus a sense of humor that everyone seems to have makes any wait seem to fly by. I recommend this shop to anyone that needs custom exhaust work done. Just remember they are certified through the department of ecology so do not come looking for them to remove catalytic converters. They have to bring your vehicle to legal standards. Highly recommend Dan Fast.”
“+ Fast communication (see fast response rate on yelp)
+ Extremely fair price.
+ The owner is a car enthusiast
+ No nonsense over-charging
+ Even offered to do a job for free (which I declined due to multiple techs working on it)
- None
I will be coming back for other jobs and will definitely recommend this place to other Audi enthusiasts.
These guys are awesome...took my Subaru Impreza in to have them look at a crack in my exhaust. The guys came back and told me they could weld it back good as new, it only took them about 2 minutes and they didn't charge a dime! Awesome how honest and cool these guys in this shop are, will definitely be back if I need any exhaust/brake work done!”
“Needed my car fixed ASAP to go through emissions. Called around and everyone was booked a month out. Went to emissions and car failed. Went to Dan Fast, Greg looked up part and found one in Lynnwood. He said they were booked, but not enough to do my car within 2 hours. Not only was he fast and efficient, the price was very reasonable. Thank you Greg for your fast, friendly service. I have a new mechanic!”
“Love this place. Guys here are amazing! Quick, fast, honest, and actually take the time to talk to you and explain in great detail!!!
“I was referred to this place by Windy (Windy's Barber Lounge!) since I had a mystery fluid slowly leaking from my car. I brought my car in this morning and the crew there confirmed that it was an oil leak and that the plug was loose (possibly from my last oil change). They went ahead and tightened the plug, wiped up the mess made from the leak, and stated they would top off my oil if it needed to be filled. I also asked them to test my battery since I've had problems starting my car and I didn't want to buy anything without knowing for sure. They tested it for me and told me I definitely need a new battery and that if I were to buy one and bring it back to them, they would install it for me. Fortunately, I'm capable of doing that much but the gesture is super appreciated. All of the above was done quickly (I was in and out in probably like 15 minutes) and they didn't even charge me for it. That part was kind of crazy since I'm used to being nickel and dimed for everything whenever I bring my car somewhere. Overall, awesome experience and will probably make this my go-to place from this point on.”
“Greg and crew went out of their way to diagnose my issue, which turned out to be a non-issue. No charge for the troubleshooting time, even with the vehice on a lift. Good, fair, and honest. I have been pleased with the work they have done for me in the past, but this event certainly shows tht they are customer oriented.

Greg took the time to bring us in and show us what it would take to correct what had been done to us by the other shop. There was no going back to the other shop. When Greg and his team were finished I had brand new headers, Rimflex gaskets, mufflers, NICE exhaust pipe, painted welds, hangers, chrome tips the works! Greg was always available to us for questions or concerns. Always came to the phone, always helpful and a great attitude. They even changed my oil and fixed my power steering belt at no extra charge.
I would encourage anyone out there with a high performance vehicle, or your economy car, go see Greg and his guys before you go anywhere else. Believe me when I tell you, Greg and his team know what they are doing. They will take care of you.
Thank you to Greg, Jason, Jeff and David for all you did for us.”
“These guys are awesome! I brought my 2015 Charger Hemi RT 5.7 in to install a Magnaflow Cat Back, they got it done quickly and at a great price. Greg and his staff are super friendly providing great service and answering questions for this newer gear head. I would highly recommend them, my car ROARS now and I get a lot of turning heads ;)
“Have taken in my car twice now, and have received expert service without any hassles. Feel like they are straight up about prices, professional, and fast! Love that I found a new place to bring my aging ride.”
“I have taken my 1987 Volvo here for exhaust work, broken seals, turbo work, have always been pleased with the work. Great people work there. They have experiance with older cars, they also drive them. Am taking my car there tonight.”
“Great group of Guys. Did the exhaust and muffler on my car more than once as I was searching for the right performance. They are timely with much better prices and sevices than competitors. They did a cat back exhaust for $170 after lifting it up to look it over. Muffler King in Kirkland didnt even look at my muffler nor lift the car up and qouted me 250...yea that says enough”
“Greg helped me out with my 04 Audi A6 S-Line 2.7T after another shop did a poor job on my exhaust. Him and hims team did a great job, were very quick and thorough. Would recommend this place to anyone who wants it done right the first time.”
“These guys are awesome! I brought them my BMW to do some specific exhaust modifications. Not only did they do excellent work both visually as well as functionally, but they also did it in much less time than promised, and I was driving my car again later that same day! Thanks again to the guys at Dan Fast!
“Greg is very knowledgable about aftermarket exhaust systems and I got my catback system installed in no time. Very smooth experience!”
“Very glad I took my vehicle here. Service as 110% and they are right to the point and honest. Will show you the vehicle as well which I appreciated. Would recommend with anyone in need of exhaust work!”
“I was in a bit of a bind with my '92 Jeep Cherokee...my exhaust tip was broken and it was deforming my gas tank. I called around and found these guys. I talked to Greg on the phone and he told me to bring it in and they would look, maybe even squeeze me in that day. He was very friendly and up front with me making it easy to make the decision to go here to get work done. They lifted my Jeep up and showed me what they were going to do and explained it all very clearly and then got to work right away. I told them I was in a tight spot money wise and Greg found me parts that would work for cheap. After about 5 minutes (as soon as they cut into the exhaust) they realized that my catalytic converter was shot and needed to be replaced or it would ruin the new muffler they were putting on. This was bad news for me since I didn't have a lot of money to throw into this project at the moment but Greg, again, really went above and beyond customer service and cut me an amazing deal to replace the converter as well!!! I was completely blown away that he helped me out this much! The work was done quickly. I only waited for about an hour before it was all said and done and they were slammed the whole time! I was amazed they were able to squeeze me in that day. Especially since no one else in the area would. They have a waiting room with a TV, bathroom, and lots of magazines, plus they are really easy to shoot the breeze with.
The best part is, these guys do everything! I need a lot of work done in the near future and this first impression and the experience I had has made it really easy to say that I will be back again to get my brakes fixed!
Cheers,
Max - Kenmore”
My experience was excellant! They were fast, friendly, and competative priceing. We shopped around because my usual mechanic would not be available for 2 weeks and I could not wait. He quoted 1.5 hours and got done early. Thank you Dan, job well done:)
“Been searching for a shop to do a Magnaflow cat-back on my 2008 VW Jetta GLI for almost a year or two now, and after reading yelp reviews, i drove down here to check it out. They were super friendly, detailed, and had good sense of humor. Everything from the design/build of different brand mufflers/tips was explained in detail to me. They gave me a printed out quote that seemed very honest and reasonable; they told me 1-2hrs, and were done in 30min. They seem to take pride in their work, painting the weld areas with high-temp, anti-corrosion paint and even building extra hangar systems for the exhaust. I absolutely love my Magnaflow muffler, it's just right, deeper and louder than stock, but not overly obnoxious or high-pitched with crackling sounds like cheaper systems.”
“Bought my fiance a new exhaust/muffler for XMas- these guys were great; great service, took pride in their work and the price was good. Finished product is great!”
“The best experience I've ever had getting my car fixed. Brought my car to another shop who told me that my engine was busted and offered to buy my car from me for $500. Decided to get a second opinion at Dan Fast and they found that it was only a cracked exhaust manifold.
These guys are phenomenal and just a great group of guys to hang out with. Thanks to Dave and Walt for the excellent service.
They DO REALLY GOOOD WORK ON (UFO'S)FORD'S.”
“I've known these guys 15 years and they are the best. I'm quite fastidious with my cars and the techs are very knowledgable and respectful. If they can keep me happy, trust me, they'll keep you happy. Once you've been to other shops, you'll realize how great Dan Fast really is. They do the job right, they use good parts, and above all they are honest and respectful
“What a great company and an awesome Manager!!!!!!!”
“5 Stars!”
“The entire crew at Dan Fast in Bellevue is awesome. They treat you fairly, honestly, and like they're putting a family member behind the wheel of your car. I wish more businesses have their kind of service. How they do it cheaper than the big chains I'll never know, but I'd pay even more for the quality they provide. I wouldn't go anywhere else for suspension, exhaust or anything they will do. Absolutely THE only place that gets to touch the brakes on my family's cars. Thanks, guys!”
5 Stars!”
