The anti-lock braking system helps prevent wheel lock-up during braking by using sensors and pumps to control brake pressure and keep you safe. If your ABS warning light comes on, it could be a safety issue

We offer a complete car AC & heating system diagnostic and repair service to keep you cool on those hot days.

Belts and hoses wear out over time due to engine stress and should be inspected regularly—especially during coolant changes or cooling system repairs—to keep your vehicle running smoothly.

Brakes are your vehicle’s top safety feature and need expert care. Regular inspections and repairs by skilled technicians keep your brakes reliable and safe on the road.

Your vehicle’s charging system—made up of the battery, starter, and alternator—works together to start your engine and keep all electrical components powered, so regular checks help prevent unexpected breakdowns.

Computer diagnostics connect to your vehicle’s onboard system to quickly identify issues and guide accurate repairs.

A cooling system flush replaces old coolant and checks for leaks to help prevent overheating. It keeps key parts like the radiator, hoses, thermostat, and water pump working properly.



The electrical system in your vehicle powers everything from starting the engine to running lights, sensors, and accessories. It includes key components like the battery, alternator, and starter, all working together to keep your car running smoothly.

Regular fluid flushes keep your vehicle’s cooling, transmission, steering, and brake systems working smoothly and safely. We also check and top off windshield washer fluid to ensure clear visibility in all seasons.

Fuel injection service cleans clogged injectors and carbon deposits to improve fuel flow, boost engine performance, and increase fuel efficiency.

Fuel system cleaning removes carbon buildup from fuel injectors and engine components, improving performance, fuel efficiency, and reducing emissions.

Your car’s exhaust system reduces noise and harmful emissions, keeping you safe and protecting air quality. Proper maintenance and repair ensure better performance and safety for everyone.

Regular oil and filter changes are key to keeping your engine healthy and running smoothly. Along with the oil change, a full vehicle inspection helps catch issues early and keep your car safe and reliable.

Shocks and struts help control your vehicle’s movement and keep tires on the road for a smooth, safe ride. If you notice bouncing, swaying, or uneven tire wear, it’s time to have them checked.

Your vehicle’s smooth ride depends on the teamwork of steering, suspension, and alignment. Key parts like control arms, coils, leaf springs, and joints work together to manage weight and keep your ride comfortable and safe.

Timing belts synchronize key engine parts, while serpentine belts power engine accessories; both need attention to avoid damage from wear like cracking or slipping.

Tire balancing ensures your tires and wheels spin smoothly by evenly distributing weight. This helps prevent vibrations, uneven wear, and improves overall ride comfort and tire life.

We offer tire and wheel sales plus full services like balancing, flat repair, installation, and rotation, with a wide selection of quality brands for all driving conditions.

Transmission fluid service keeps your transmission running smoothly, prevents damage, and extends its lifespan by removing old, dirty fluid and replacing it with clean fluid.

A tune-up service is a full checkup that keeps your vehicle running safely and efficiently. It includes key maintenance like oil changes, fluid flushes, air filters, brake checks, transmission service, belt and hose inspections, and more—all aimed at improving performance, preventing breakdowns, and extending your vehicle’s life.

Its been a long time since I received truly exceptional customer service from anywhere...and today I did at Budget Brake & Muffler in Kamloops! I’m new to Kamloops and I arrived today with a very sick Toyota 4 runner that had suffered from years of constant exposure to a lot of salt air and rarely driven on Vancouver Island. I was greeted by Doug the owner, who treated me like family. He went through everything my truck needed in detail but easy for a non mechanic like me to understand. I felt at ease and felt no pressure whatsoever. I was prepared to wait for hours in the lobby but he very kindly drove me home and offered to come and pick me up when my truck was fixed. He is such a kind and funny man who knows the right way to treat his customers. Plus he loves dogs, so thats even better haha! My truck is now running beautifully and I look forward to recommending Budget Brake & Muffler to my family & friends...and stopping by in the future for anything my truck needs. I didnt realize it ahead of time, but they do tires too! Thank you Doug and your talented mechanics! Best wishes, Amanda :)
I made an appointment for my 2016 Ford F150, due to an exhaust leak. They fixed my truck in an hour and had the part in stock. At a 1/4 price that the dealership would have charged. Highly recommend this Budget/ Brake and Muffler Auto Centre.
Great service, great people. Terrible neighbourhood.
Doug was so nice and probably could tell I’m a student. He was very upfront and genuine about what was going on with my car! He put a temporary fix on it that could last “a week, two weeks to two years” before slapping me with a $400 bill, which I appreciated very much! Thanks Doug and budget team!
It was a pleasure meeting Doug and I will be back! The best customer care and service!
Dishonest about the work that had to be done on our friends car. Said it needed bearings and shocks and only has 50,000km on it. Never again.
I am extremely pleased and quite frankly amazed with the exceptional customer service and repairs I received today. The exhaust blew out on my one ton truck and it sounded like a tank. These fellas have been working for two weeks in recording setting extreme scorching temperatures and the air quality today in Kamloops was off the charts from the forest fires burning in close proximity. I rolled in and they could have easily turned me away as they were booked and it was Friday but they didn't. They somehow squeezed me in for the repair all the while staying in phone contact with me regarding what repairs were required, cost and an approximate completion time. This shop wrote the book on customer service, quality work and professionalism and I am very appreciative.
Great service, quick to fit me in. Difficult 3 inch exhaust job, Doug & team did very well.
very helpful, fair pricing, 100% highly reccomended,
Been here twice now and both times got professional advice and fixing on my old Honda Pilot. Doug was very friendly and conversed with me all the time while the technicians figured out what was wrong with the car. Doug then explained to me what were the things that compromised safety vs things that may just cause a noise but still be safe to drive with (small part that wasn’t available anywhere in Kamloops). I was also let in the garage to see the damage on my brakes and see what was actually wrong with them and what needs replacing - helped me put a picture to his explaining. He then gave me a ride home too (w/ safety precautions in place) which saved me time. The work was done within the day and car is braking much better now I definitely appreciate getting new items rather than used ones knowing that it will cost me but there’s warranty and longer life on them. The parking area is a bit small especially when they’re busy so it helps to book an appointment via phone beforehand. I usually get my work done in mornings. Will definitely come back if something else comes up (hopefully not 😅🤞🏽)
