Exhaust System Repairs
Quality Repairs, Trusted Expertise
Breathe New Life into Your Vehicle’s Performance
Your exhaust system does more than just control emissions — it plays a key role in fuel efficiency, engine performance, and noise reduction. At Cookes auto repair we specialize in diagnosing and repairing all types of exhaust system issues, helping your vehicle run smoother, cleaner, and quieter.
Why Your Exhaust System Matters
A well-functioning exhaust system directs harmful gases away from your engine and passenger cabin, reduces noise, and improves your vehicle’s overall efficiency. When parts like the muffler, catalytic converter, or exhaust pipes begin to fail, you may notice strange noises, reduced power, poor fuel economy, or even the smell of fumes inside your car.

Whether it’s a rusted-out muffler, a cracked pipe, or a failing catalytic converter, we use quality parts and proven repair techniques to restore full function. We’ll also inspect hangers, clamps, gaskets, and sensors to ensure your entire system is in top condition.
Signs You Need Exhaust Repair
If you hear a loud rumble, smell exhaust fumes, or see a drop in performance, it’s time to get your system checked. Other signs include vibrations, a check engine light, or visible damage underneath your car. Don’t ignore these symptoms — small issues can quickly lead to bigger, more expensive problems.
EXCELLENT Based on 95 reviews Adam P10. September, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a fantastic experience with Cookes. The team was professional, honest, and took the time to clearly explain what needed to be done without trying to upsell unnecessary repairs. The service was completed quickly, and the price was fair compared to other places I’ve been. My car now runs perfectly, and I feel confident knowing the job was done right. I really appreciated their friendly customer service and transparency—it made the whole process stress-free. I’ll definitely be coming back for future maintenance and recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable mechanic. PrettyLittleF'kUp10.

I recently had the clutch replaced on my Peugeot 107 at Cooks Autos in Erdington, and I couldn’t be more impressed. The service was absolutely top-notch from start to finish. The team were friendly, professional, and really knew what they were doing. Not only were the prices extremely reasonable, but they also got the job done much faster than I expected—super speedy turnaround without cutting any corners. It’s clear they care about both quality and customer satisfaction. Highly recommended if you're looking for reliable, honest, and affordable car repairs. I’ll definitely be coming back for any future work. Thanks again to the team at Cooks Autos! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lauren B25. July, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I have some friends who have used Cookes before and they have never been ripped off. I chose to use Cookes myself after my usual mechanic left Birmingham. I have been a mechanic in my younger years and know when someone is trying to blind you with pseudo tech knowledge. These people did none of that. Just a good price for very good work.. And pleasant with it. Update. Today.. 21st July 2025) had my Polo camshaft belt replaced by someone (Freddie) who really knows VW's.. fast, efficient and very reasonable. Leanne is new to the office.. Very pleasant and courteous Great addition to the company. Ambrose A16. July, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
