Catalytic Converter  Service Video

Your catalytic converter has an important job. It helps reduce harmful emissions before they leave the exhaust system.

As exhaust gases pass through the converter, chemical reactions take place that turn more harmful pollutants into less harmful emissions. It is a key part of your vehicle’s performance and emissions system.

Because catalytic converter problems can also be linked to other engine or exhaust issues, proper diagnosis is essential. A converter may fail because of contamination, overheating, internal breakdown, or a problem elsewhere that caused excess fuel or oil to enter the exhaust stream. Replacing the converter is only part of the solution if the root cause is still present.

At APA Total Car Care in Queen Creek, AZ, we inspect check engine light concerns, emissions-related issues, and exhaust performance problems to determine whether the catalytic converter is the real cause.

If your vehicle has a check engine light, power loss, or signs of catalytic converter trouble, call APA Total Car Care at 480-282-8300.
