The catalytic converter is one of the major breakthroughs that helped cut down air pollution from vehicles. It is an emissions-related component mounted in the exhaust pipe. Its main purpose is to convert harmful pollutants into less harmful emissions. When the time comes that the catalytic converter is not operating properly, the check engine light will turn on and the engine’s performance will deteriorate. Sometimes, if the catalytic converter becomes plugged, the engine might stall or worse, not start at all. Worst cases include internal engine damage. Continuous use of a vehicle with a faulty converter will result to harmful emissions and loss of power.
As soon as there are warning signs of catalytic converter failure, it is important to get it checked right away.
An emissions test will be conducted on the vehicle to know what the exact issue is. Once it has been confirmed that the catalytic converter is indeed failing, it will need to be replaced with a new one in order to restore the vehicle’s performance. Our staff will guide clients through the entire process and will explain the diagnostics and recommended solutions. Aside from the technical know-how, our staff will provide quality customer service.
If your catalytic converter works perfectly fine, it is still recommended to bring it in for an evaluation in order to prevent future issues and problems.
