Catalytic Converter Repair & Replacement
Loud roar out of nowhere, a check-engine light with a P0420, or a converter cut clean off in a parking lot? Converter work is expensive to get wrong, so we confirm the actual problem before anyone buys a part.
What this covers
The work, spelled out
- Catalytic converter theft repair and replacement
- P0420 / P0430 catalyst-efficiency diagnosis
- Correct-fit converter for your make and model
- Shielding and anti-theft options to keep it from happening again
- O2 sensor testing so you do not replace a good converter
- Full exhaust inspection while it is on the lift
How it goes
- 1
Diagnose before you buy
A check-engine light does not always mean a bad converter. We test the sensors and the catalyst so you are not paying for the wrong part.
- 2
Real theft repair
If yours was cut off, we rebuild the section correctly, not with a mismatched universal welded in crooked.
- 3
Fair, upfront price
Converters are not cheap. We give you the number first and the options, including anti-theft shielding.

Back on the road
Correct-fit part, proper welds, light cleared, and a warranty on the work.
Questions
Before you drive over
Still not sure? Call the shop at (586) 759-0000 and we will talk it through.
Someone stole my catalytic converter, can you fix it?
Yes. We repair converter theft the right way, with a correct-fit converter welded in properly, and we can add shielding to help stop it from happening again.
My check-engine light says P0420, do I need a new converter?
Not always. A P0420 points to catalyst efficiency, but a bad O2 sensor or an exhaust leak can trigger it too. We test before you buy a converter so you are not paying for the wrong part.
Do you charge to look at my exhaust or brakes?
No. The exhaust check and the brake inspection are free. We put your car on the lift, show you exactly what is wrong, and give you the price before we touch anything.
Will I know the price before you start?
Yes. You get the number before any work begins. We do not start a repair, and you do not owe anything, until you say go.
How long have you been in business?
Over 25 years on East 8 Mile in Warren. Same corner, same standard of work.
