Why Hiddenite drivers book mobile catalytic converter replacement

Hiddenite is gem-mine country west on US-64. Plenty of gravel and no shop for miles, so we come to you. For catalytic converter replacement, that means no tow, no ride-share to a shop, and no day off work — we do the job on site and you get your keys back the same visit.

What's included

Catalytic converters fail from age, from misfires that overheat them, or they get stolen in a parking lot with a cordless saw. Before we replace one for a P0420 code we verify the sensors and check for the root cause, because a converter is expensive and a new one dies the same way if the misfire isn't fixed. We install direct-fit, EPA-compliant units.

  1. Verify the failure with sensor data and a backpressure test
  2. Fix the root cause — misfire, oil consumption, or coolant leak
  3. Replace the converter with a direct-fit, EPA-compliant unit
  4. Replace O2 sensors if damaged
  5. Clear codes and drive to set readiness monitors

Signs it's time

  • P0420 or P0430 code that persists after sensor checks
  • Rotten-egg smell
  • Loss of power and rattling under the car (broken substrate)
  • Converter was cut off and stolen
