Exhaust System Repair and Replacement
A compromised exhaust system affects more than just the noise your vehicle makes — it reduces engine efficiency, increases emissions, and can allow dangerous gases to work their way into the cabin. Common signs your exhaust system needs attention include:
- Loud, rattling, or rumbling sounds that weren’t there before
- A noticeable drop in fuel economy
- Visible rust, holes, or corrosion on pipes, hangers, or muffler components
Franklin Automotive inspects every section of your exhaust system and handles repairs or full replacements as needed — restoring quiet, efficient, and safe operation backed by our 3-year / 36,000-mile warranty.
Oxygen Sensor Replacement
Your oxygen sensors monitor exhaust gases in real time, feeding data back to your engine’s computer to maintain the right air-fuel mixture. When a sensor fails, that feedback loop breaks down — and your engine compensates in ways that hurt performance and efficiency. Signs of a failing oxygen sensor include:
- Declining fuel economy over time
- Rough idling or hesitation during acceleration
- A check engine light triggered by an O2 sensor fault code
Prompt oxygen sensor replacement protects your engine’s efficiency and prevents unnecessary stress on your catalytic converter — one of the more expensive components in your exhaust system.
Catalytic Converter Repair and Replacement
Your catalytic converter reduces the harmful pollutants in your exhaust before they exit the tailpipe, keeping your vehicle compliant with emissions standards and environmentally responsible. When it begins to fail, the signs are hard to miss:
- A check engine light with a converter-related fault code
- A rotten egg or sulfur smell from the exhaust
- Reduced engine power, stalling, or hesitation under load
Franklin Automotive can repair or replace catalytic converters across all makes and models, ensuring your vehicle stays clean, compliant, and performing the way it should.
Emissions Testing and Repairs
Failing an emissions test is frustrating — but it almost always points to a fixable underlying issue. Common signs your vehicle may have an emissions problem include:
- A check engine light that stays on
- Rough idling, stalling, or inconsistent performance
- Reduced fuel efficiency alongside drivability issues
Our technicians diagnose the root cause of emissions failures accurately and perform the targeted repairs needed to get your vehicle through state and federal inspections — and keep it running cleanly long after the test is done.
