What we cover

Exhaust Repairs for Carshalton drivers.

Same quality as every other customer.

Noise is usually the first sign

A sudden increase in engine noise, a droning sound underneath, exhaust smell inside the cabin, or a rattle from under the car. Any of these points to the exhaust system.

Patch repair £30+VAT

For minor corrosion holes or small cracks. Where more than roughly 30% of a section has corroded, a full section replacement makes more financial sense.

Back box replacement

Rear silencer from around 45 minutes at £72/hr plus the cost of the new part. Many variants exist per model, so we confirm the correct part before ordering anything.

Centre section and flexi pipe

Flexi pipes fail regularly on higher-mileage diesel vehicles. Full system replacement is quoted with labour and parts listed separately.

Lambda and oxygen sensors at top rate

Sensors sit at £84/hr because they fall under sensor replacement. Fault codes are read first to pinpoint which sensor has failed before we order any parts.

Catalytic converter replacement

Parts are always live-priced before quoting because the cost range is very wide between makes and models. Written approval obtained before ordering.

The exhaust system does three jobs. It removes combustion gases safely away from the engine and occupants. It reduces the noise the engine produces to a level that passes the MOT. It treats the exhaust gases through the catalytic converter and, on diesels, the DPF to reduce harmful emissions. A failing exhaust compromises all three at once. At KITH Cars Garage in Hackbridge, we carry out exhaust repairs across all makes and models.

Noise is normally the first thing customers notice. A sudden ticking or blowing sound, loudest on cold start and under acceleration, means there is a hole or crack somewhere in the system. The location of the noise gives a rough indication of which section is affected. Noise from behind the passenger cabin is usually the rear silencer or back box. Noise closer to the engine suggests the manifold, flexi pipe or catalyst section.

FAQs

Common questions

Why is my exhaust louder on cold start?

Metal contracts when cold. A crack that closes up as the exhaust warms will be most prominent in the first minute or two after starting.

Can a noisy exhaust cause an MOT failure?

Yes. Excessive noise, a leaking joint in the engine bay and a failed emissions test are all MOT failure points.

How long does an exhaust repair take?

A patch repair around 30 minutes. Back box replacement around 45 minutes to an hour. Full system replacement typically 1.5 to 2 hours.
