Uxbridge drivers can bring cars and vans to our Hayes garage for exhaust replacement, sports back box fitting and cat-back systems, with an explanation and estimate beforehand.
Say you commute in and out of Uxbridge every day, crawling along the High Street in the morning and joining the M40 at night. That mixture of stop-start and fast running is hard on an exhaust: it heats, cools, and flexes with the engine, and eventually something gives. A loose hanger, a split silencer or a leaking flange are typical culprits.
We deal with all of those at our garage in Hayes, and we also fit performance exhaust systems for drivers who want a different sound or a neater finish. Our approach is simple: find the fault, explain it in plain language, recommend the work and give you a clear estimate before we start. We work on cars and vans of all makes.
A sports back box is the lightest route to a different sound. It replaces the rear silencer and leaves the pipes ahead of it alone, so the cost and the time involved are usually modest. A cat-back kit goes further, replacing the pipework from the catalytic converter backward, which changes tone and often looks better at the tailpipe. If your car already has a tired mid section, a cat-back makes more sense than putting a new box on old pipe. We will recommend one or the other after inspecting the car.
In busy traffic, an exhaust spends a lot of time warming up and cooling down, and each cycle stresses welds, hangers and flexible joints. Stainless steel handles that better than basic steel, particularly against corrosion. Replacement is not always necessary, though: a new bracket, a gasket or a short repair section can restore a system that is otherwise sound. We lift the car, trace the noise and show you which part has failed, so you can decide whether to repair or replace.
The law expects a road car to stay within a noise limit and to keep its emissions equipment working. In practice that means choosing a system that retains the catalytic converter and any particulate filter, and that is built for road use rather than racing. Ask the supplier for the stated sound level and for a part that matches your exact model. If you are unsure, send us the details before you buy. We would rather talk it over than fit something that causes problems later.
Uxbridge is the main town of the borough, sitting at the western end of the Uxbridge Road with its shopping centre, a university campus nearby and the M40 just a short distance away. Hayes lies further east along the same corridor, which makes our Chesterfield Way garage a practical choice if you are out this way. Drivers from Hillingdon, Cowley, Yiewsley and West Drayton come to us too. Ring or use the contact form, say what the car is doing, and we will explain what is likely to be needed.
We also help drivers with performance exhaust systems from nearby Hillingdon, Cowley, Yiewsley, West Drayton, and the garage in Hayes is the base for all of it.

It can be, provided it is designed for road use, keeps the noise within the legal limit and your emissions equipment stays in place. Check the manufacturer details, and send them to us if you want a second opinion before fitting.
Drone often comes from resonance in a particular system at certain revs, though a failing mounting or a small leak can cause something similar. We can check the hangers and joints first, then discuss whether a different silencer setup would help.
Yes. We repair and replace exhausts on cars and vans of all makes and models. Vans that do a lot of short, stop-start work often suffer early exhaust wear, so an inspection is worthwhile if you hear anything new.
