Catalytic converters are directly responsible for turning a vehicle's harmful emissions, such as carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and hydrocarbons, into water vapor, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen (N2) gas, which are all more stable and environmentally-friendly compounds. If a catalytic converter stops working, it can lead to decreased fuel efficiency, intermittent stalling, engine misfires, reduced performance, and increased emissions, which can lead to a failed smog check.
If you have recently failed a smog test, or suspect that your catalytic converter needs to be replaced, bring your vehicle to Advanced Auto Care. If your vehicle fails the smog check, our highly experienced, ASE-certified automotive technicians will use state-of-the-art diagnostic testing to determine if it was because of a malfunctioning catalytic converter or another component of your exhaust system.
At Advanced Auto Care, we provide upfront, competitively priced quotes and back all emissions-rated repairs, including catalytic converter replacement services, with a parts and labor warranty for two years or 24,000 miles. Walk-ins are welcome to stop by our auto repair shop in Lake Elsinore catalytic converter repair services between 7am and 5pm, Monday through Friday; however, appointments are always encouraged so that we can provide you with priority service. Additionally, we offer a free shuttle service within a 7-mile radius of our shop. We accept cash and all major credit cards, offer six-month financing through Synchrony Bank, and meet the requirements of the Consumer Assistance Program if you are interested in qualifying for California's state subsidy for emissions-related repairs.
