If you need to replace the catalyst converter on your car, it’s best to be informed so that you are able to make the right decision on where to go. So I am going to give you the information that you need to help you make the best decision.
When we talk about the OBDII Catalyst Converters, these are the converters that are for most of the vehicles with model years later than 1995. However, there are a few exceptions. If you’re not positive about which of these refers to your vehicle, stop in and we’ll inspect your car.

If your car or truck hasn’t been equipped with the right California Approved OBDII converter, you may have problems with smog issues and you may also be facing penalties and fines. This is something that a lot of people don’t understand.
One of the most important considerations is price. But one thing to remember is that when you choose to cheapest price, you may wind up paying a lot more for it in the long run if you don’t get a quality part and service. You often will end up paying a lot more when you go the inexpensive route than you would have paid had you come to the Exhaustman Service Center.

There are shops that don’t comply or use extremely low quality Catalyst converters in the Azusa, Glendora, Duarte area. This is a problem we see time and time again.
Just like with all mechanical repair, there are going to be different prices because there are different brands, qualities, and workmanship. Then there’s the problem of the wrong application numbers on the wrong cars. Sure, they are able to turn off the check engine light on your car for a few months and even up to a year. But eventually you’re back to where you began and you may find that the shop is no longer around. What do you do then?
