Is Keith's Muffler & Brakes in Westland closed?

A couple people here suggested I call Keith regarding the exhaust work I need done on my new 95 5.0, so I looked up some info on his business.
There were a bunch of reviews from Yelp and Google, all of them were great.

I drove the car up here Friday from Nashville and I have all of the parts so I decided to give them a call on my way home from work today...
The number listed everywhere online, (734) 722-7900, is out of service/disconnected according to Verizon.

Just wondering if anyone had any insight on this... Westland is out of my way, I can't really just swing by there to see what's up.

Sounded like a great place to take the car...

I just saw Keith a few weeks back and he said business was great. Power was out all over in that area, so I’m sure that was the issue with the phone.

He just installed my h-pipe about a month or less ago. Bring the car in the morning, its always done within a couple hours.

Power outage, that sounds like a sure explanation for it.
I guess it never occurred to me since power outages were pretty minimal out this way... I'd bet this was the issue.

So getting under my car today I notice this. A pipe welded between the tail pipes and clamped to my sway bar. I removed the clamp before taking the photo. Now I gotta go back to Keith's tomorrow and have them remove this. No idea why they would do such a thing.

might have been a jig bar to hold the exhaust in place while being assembled?

And
POSSIBLY forgot to remove it before letting you leave

That makes logical sense; they did have to modify the catback to fit the new midpipe.

Forgot to check back, took my car to Keith's and they did a good job on the h-pipe. He also adjusted the tailpipes from the previous owners muffler install.

Nice. I called them Friday and the guy who answered was like "yeah we forgot to remove the bar" lol. Took it up there and they took care of it.

That is actually a cool little fab trick - makes me think those guys actually know what they are doing (other than leaving it in place!).
