If any of the above issues go on for too long, it can cause carbon deposits to clog the catalytic converter. The exhaust flow can also become blocked, leading to engine issues like overheating! Additionally, physical damage from road debris, rocks, or potholes can also cause problems.

How Our Diagnostic Equipment is Comprehensive

Our diagnostic process is comprehensive. While auto parts stores typically use a basic ‘code reader’ that costs around $100, Kar-Guard employs a diagnostic machine worth approximately $5,000. Unlike just providing a code, our inspection identifies over 10 potential issues that could be causing the problem. Our ASE-certified expert technicians thoroughly examine your vehicle.

​

The Basics Behind Catalytic Converter Replacement

The catalytic converter is located on the underside of your vehicle. The catalytic converter helps clean up vehicle emissions before expelling them into the environment. Catalytic converters change carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and hydrocarbon oxides into less harmful carbon dioxide, water, and Nitrogen before releasing the exhaust.

​

Regular maintenance of your exhaust system can ensure that your catalytic converter functions optimally, reducing the chances of it releasing harmful and potentially lethal chemicals into the environment or your vehicle’s cabin.
