Exhausted Muffler & Auto Repair is locally owned and operated by Nick Smith and Matt Wright. The pair opened their business on March 1.  It was a dream come true for both to “own their own automotive repair shop.”

Between the two of them, they have over 20 years of exhaust and automotive repair experience.

The pair said the first three weeks had “been amazing” and that they could not thank the public and their customers enough for supporting them in their business endeavor.

“The growth we have seen in three weeks is unbelievable, we are so thankful for everyone’s support,” Smith said.

“We’re not trying to get rich, we just want to earn a living, take care of our families and provide affordable services to our community,” Wright said.

They both gave the “glory to God” for making their dream a reality. The idea to start the business happened in January and fast-forward three months and the shop doors are open.

It took a lot of support from family and most of all, “faith in God”, which is a “cornerstone” of their business model.

“When we started this business, we stepped out on our faith and said Lord, ‘it’s in your hands’ and He has made this a reality. I believe with all my heart that God had a hand in helping us open up this shop,” Smith said.
