Expert Muffler & Exhaust Repair Services for the Portland Area

At Carr Chevrolet, you'll find a better experience in our service center. You may not think of a dealership service center like ours being the best place for getting muffler and exhaust work. However, car exhaust system service and repair are among the many things that our experts can help with. If the sound of your car's exhaust has gotten a bit loud, or even if you'd like it to be a little louder, we can help. Below, we discuss some of the things we think are important to know about muffler replacement and exhaust system repair. When the time comes for exhaust work to be done on your ride, schedule an appointment with us easily online.

What is the Muffler on Your Vehicle?

To understand what a muffler is and how it works, it helps to start at the engine. You see, the engine runs by igniting a pressurized mixture of fuel and air. The result is explosive force that ultimately turns the wheels. As you can imagine, these explosions in the cylinders are loud, and the muffler is there to keep things at a civil volume. It does this by routing the exhaust gases (along with the sound waves) through a series of chambers designed to absorb the sound.

Why Bother Getting Muffler Repair?

Aside from avoiding some annoyed looks from the neighbors when you leave for work in a vehicle with loud exhaust, there are other important reasons for keeping your muffler in good working order. For instance, car exhaust gasses are nothing to play around with, and a leak in the exhaust system can be a real problem. Whether the leak is from the muffler or elsewhere in the system, the noxious fumes could find their way into the passenger cabin. That's a huge risk to your safety.
