Meet Mike & Mike
At Morrell Muffler, you're not just a customer — you're family. Founded in 1999 by U.S. military veteran Mike Morrell Sr., the shop was built on a foundation of service, skill, and hard work. Mike learned automotive repair in the military and, after retiring, spent over a decade gaining hands-on experience in local auto shops. With a strong reputation and a passion for honest work, he opened Morrell Muffler to serve his community.
Today, Mike Sr. runs the shop alongside his son, Mike Morrell Jr. Together, they bring over 70 years of combined experience to every vehicle they service. Whether it's a brake job, custom exhaust, or front-end repair, the Morrells take pride in doing the job right with integrity and attention to detail.
