The last time I needed a muffler I got one at Meineke and they told me it was "guaranteed for as long as I owned the car." So, it finally fell off, so I called their shop and asked them if I was going to get a free muffler. They said yeah, but it would cost $40 in labor to install it. So, I called a local garage and asked them what they would charge me to install a new muffler, P&L, and they said $50. Both places said that any needed hangers, clamps, etc., were extra, of course. Of course. I'm not sure the extra 15 miles to drive to the Meineke shop is worth the trouble. Is this one of those "gotchas?"
