    Great work, very fair prices, and great customer service. I got to work with Don with getting my corvette exhaust swapped and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Definitely coming back for more work.

    Well I won't be coming back. Jerl's has gone down hill. Bummer because I've been using them for years but recently I bought some specific breaks that I wanted installed on my truck but I had to return them because they said they could not warranty them if I provided the breaks, but they could get the brakes I wanted from "their" vendor. Didn't know that "their" vendor was going to cost me 135% more than what I bought the brakes for. That's a bit much, even for an up-charge which I totally get, you gotta make money but that's just straight robbing someone. And then on top of that, they tried to get me to replace my rotors when I knew they were still good and just needed to be turned. And so after denying having them replaced, I get a call a few hours later and magically, one of my calipers is broken. Yeah, nothing was mentioned about it when the brakes were taken apart and then It was magically stripped on one side only. Now, as I left, I see a garage full of kids playing mechanics, it really makes me wonder how that would have gotten stripped out. This whole situation stinks and I feel like this was a totally cash grab or a cover up for their mistake. Sucks because I use to recommend them to everyone but now I'll be doing the opposite.

    Waste of money. Exhaust has leaks. Manifold has a broken bolt. Bad workmanship.
