Why Choose JR Muffler
Our journey started with James Price, who opened the shop with the belief that quality work, fair prices, and treating customers like family would always stand the test of time. That belief still drives everything we do today. In 2000, Shane Price joined the shop, learning the craft side by side with his father and eventually taking over the business in 2015. Shane’s passion for the trade and for serving his community runs deep. There is no textbook for this kind of work. It is learned through years of hands-on experience, long days in the shop, and a relentless drive to do the job right every single time.
At JR Muffler, we have never been in a rush to cut corners or chase trends. Our approach is rooted in patience, precision, and respect for the work. Shane recalls that it took him three full years before he was confident enough to bend his first piece of custom pipe. This dedication to craftsmanship is what sets JR Muffler apart. Custom exhaust fabrication, muffler repairs, and complex engine services are fine-tuned skills that require an intimate knowledge of vehicles, materials, and the expectations of drivers who demand more from their machines.
Every job that comes through our doors is approached with that same meticulous attention to detail, whether it is a simple muffler repair, a complete brake system overhaul, or a full motor swap or cylinder head rebuild. Our technicians are not just employees. They are craftsmen, trained to uphold the standards that built JR Muffler’s reputation from day one.

Built for East Texas Drivers, Backed by East Texas Values
JR Muffler serves more than Palestine — we serve drivers from Tyler, Buffalo, Fairfield, and the entire East Texas region. People come to us because they know they will not get upsold, rushed out the door, or given a runaround. We give you the facts, the right fix, and the kind of honest work that keeps your vehicle running right for the long haul.
Our shop handles everything from state inspections to brake service, but we are best known for the tough jobs — the custom exhaust builds, the complicated engine diagnostics, the heavy repair work most shops would rather turn away. That is where we shine. If it is loud, complex, or requires real fabrication skill, it is what we live for.
