Every repair, photographed

Proof, not promises.

We photograph what we find and what we fixed. Partly so you can see where your money went — and partly because it keeps us honest when nobody's watching.

Rust in, stainless out

The half of the job nobody usually sees

Your exhaust lives under the car, which is exactly why it gets neglected until it's loud. This is what a failed system looks like, and what replaces it.

Freshly welded stainless steel Y-pipe fitted against the heavily rusted original underbody of a vehicle

Section repair, in one picture

Bright new pipe welded straight into a system that had rusted out around it. The dealer price for this is a complete assembly. We replaced the failed section.

Corroded factory exhaust and heat shields on the underside of a vehicle raised on the hoist

What Ontario winters do

Road salt from November to April, freeze-thaw trapping brine in every seam, short trips that never get it hot enough to dry out. This is the result.

Finished polished stainless steel X-pipe fabricated and welded in-house

Fabricated here, not ordered in

Bent, cut and welded on site. That's the whole reason we can repair a section instead of selling you the assembly around it.

Completed exhaust system running the length of a vehicle underside after repair

Finished and hung properly

New hangers, correct clearances, nothing resting on a heat shield. The part you'll never look at, done as though you would.

These are all real jobs from the Malcolm Rd shop. Matched before-and-after pairs of the same vehicle get added here as work comes through — we photograph every repair anyway.

Still to shoot

Four photos would finish this off

Everything above is real work from the Malcolm Rd shop. These are the gaps — none of them need a professional, a phone in good light will do.

ShotWhy it mattersHow to take it
Shop exteriorHighest priority. It's the homepage hero and the single most valuable image on a Google Business Profile — people need to recognise the building as they pull upAcross the road, bay doors open, signage readable. Late afternoon light. Landscape
Pete at workA working portrait to sit alongside the family photo — welding helmet up, mid-jobNatural light from the open bay door, no flash. Portrait orientation
The full team"One set of hands" is the pitch; if there are others, customers should see themEveryone in front of the open bay doors. Landscape
Matched before / afterThe most persuasive thing this trade can show — same car, same angle, rust then stainlessTake the "before" before you start. Same spot, same phone, same height
  • Shoot in landscape for gallery tiles, portrait for the hero and owner shots
  • Wipe the lens first — shop phones are always covered in something
  • Compress to WebP under ~200 KB before uploading; the current photos are already WebP
  • Every image on this site carries descriptive alt text — keep that up, it's both an accessibility requirement and a ranking signal
  • Aim for 100+ photos on the Google Business Profile over time; profiles with high photo counts get substantially more calls

Want photos of your repair?

You'll get them whether you ask or not. It's how we do every job.
