Muffler shops change tune to tuneups, etc

Article Abstract:

Muffler-repair service shops are converting into shops that do other automobile service work such as air-conditioning, brake, shocks and oil changes because of the dwindling market for their services. Replacement muffler sales have declined by nearly 50% since 1990, thanks in part to the introduction of stainless steel mufflers that could easily last for a decade. Since 1998, all automobile or light trucks released in the market have been equipped with stainless steel mufflers.
