Typical exhaust repair costs
If you’ve got an exhaust failure or leak to repair, the vehicle you drive will, of course, have an impact on the likely costs and quotes you can expect to receive.
For a full exhaust inspection, repair and replacement, you could expect to pay anything around £300 for smaller, simpler cars such as a Dacia, Daewoo or a Kia.
Bigger family cars from Ford, Hyundai, Peugeot or Vauxhall, are often around the £300–400 mark.
Luxury marques and bigger models from BMW, Alfa Romeo, Lexus or Land Rover will reach around the £600 range.

Reasons your exhaust system could need replacing
Mounted underneath your car, your exhaust system is constantly exposed to the poor weather elements that are likely to cause your exhaust pipe, manifold, silencer and any of the fixings that hold it onto your car to corrode.
If you notice big chunks of rust dropping off any of the components, or you hear excessively loud noises coming from below, then chances are one or more of your parts has worn out and it’s time to take care of that exhaust pipe repair.
