Catalytic Converter Repair

The catalytic convert plays an important role in your car emission system by reducing the polluting toxins released back into the atmosphere. Eventually the catalytic converter will lose its capacity to bind the excess waste produced by the internal combustion engine and you will have to repair the emission system.

The first indication that you might need catalytic converter repair is by failing your annual/biannual smog test required by most States. Sometimes only a quick adjustment to your emission system is required to pass the smog test; however, if adjustments do not work, you will need to have your catalytic converter pressure tested to see if your exhaust is flowing with adequate pressure.

Your car may experience other symptoms of a bad catalytic converter such as low power, stalling poor gas mileage and even overheating. These issues can be eliminated by having catalytic converter repair performed by the pros at Casey Automotive.
