Tucked away on Walling Street behind the former location of Parson’s Body Shop is Mufflers, Brakes & More, a new business opened by Randy and Teresa Mullins.

Randy has made his living as a steel hanger and he has constructed buildings all over the Midstate. The 40 x 75 building that’s home to Mufflers, Brakes & More is a perfect example of the quality of his work.

But we’re not here to talk about Randy’s steel hanging, but rather his new muffler shop, which does a little of everything when it comes to mechanic work. Randy has the services of James Wray who has been working on cars since he was a boy.

“Brakes, mufflers and oil changes are our specialty but we’ll do just about anything,” said James while pulling a motor from a Toyota Camry.

Randy enjoys restoring old cars and is proud of his red, 1966 Ford Thunderbird convertible. “I found this in a barn and paid $800 for it,” said Randy from behind the wheel. “We’re available to work on classic cars since there are not many people out there who can work on them.”

Business hours are from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. The shop is closed on Wednesday and Sunday. The phone number is 474-2771.
