Weld or replace?
A cracked pipe or a broken hanger can often be welded or replaced on its own. A failed or stolen catalytic converter has to be replaced. The shop tells you which applies, in writing, before any work.
Stolen catalytic converter
If your car suddenly sounds very loud on start-up, the converter may have been cut out. The shop replaces it and the damaged pipe, and supplies the estimate and records your insurer asks for.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a catalytic converter replacement cost?
It depends on the vehicle and the converter. The shop gives you a written, itemized estimate before any work.
What does code P0420 mean?
The engine computer sees the catalytic converter working below its threshold. It is often the converter, but an exhaust leak or a faulty oxygen sensor can cause it, so it is tested first.
Can you weld my exhaust instead of replacing it?
Often, for cracked pipes, leaks and broken hangers. The shop does exhaust welding and custom exhaust fixes.
My catalytic converter was stolen. Can you replace it?
Yes, and the shop supplies the estimate and records your insurer asks for.
Will a bad catalytic converter fail NY inspection?
Usually, because it turns on the check engine light, which fails the OBDII emissions inspection.

Requesting a time is easiest: pick an arrival window online at tkmodernauto.com/booking and the shop confirms it by phone. If something is wrong today, call (718) 266-1703 and the shop fits you in where it can.
