Exhaust welding in Loughborough
Blowing exhaust or a broken bracket. A weld can often save replacing a whole section.
Exhausts live a hard life under the car. Joints crack, pipes rust through and hangers snap. When the rest of the system is still sound, welding the damaged part is often possible and avoids buying a whole new section.
We check the exhaust from front to back, weld what can be welded and tell you straight if a part is too far gone.
Signs your exhaust needs attention
- The exhaust is louder than usual or sounds like it's blowing
- Rattling or knocking from under the car
- The exhaust is hanging low, or you can see it moving
- A smell of exhaust fumes in or around the car
- An MOT advisory or fail for an exhaust leak or a loose exhaust
What’s included
- Checking the whole system to find the leak or break
- Welding cracks, splits and holes where the metal is strong enough to take a weld
- Repairing or re-fixing broken hangers and brackets
- Letting you know if a section is too corroded to weld and needs replacing instead
Common questions
Can any exhaust be welded?
No. A weld needs sound metal around it, so a pipe that has rusted thin won't hold a repair for long. Clean breaks, cracked joints and broken brackets are usually good candidates. We'll look at it and tell you which it is.
Will a blowing exhaust fail an MOT?
It can. The MOT checks that the exhaust is secure, isn't leaking badly and isn't too noisy, so a blowing or loose exhaust is a common reason for a fail or an advisory.
Is it safe to drive with a blowing exhaust?
It's best not to leave it. A leak can let exhaust fumes into the car, and a section that's hanging loose can break off completely.
