I have a 96 toyota camry.
The mechanic wants to charge me almost $800 for catalytic converter replacement. That seems outrageous to me.
Even in California $800.00 for a NEW state approved CAT for your car is EXPENSIVE.....UNLESS your mechanic is putting on a TOYOTA Catalytic converter (despite what the aftermarket Cat Mfgs say the Factory ones DO last longer) If Toyota the the price is about right.
You don't say what engine you have but if you have TWO cats then it could add up to $800.00 if it includes any exhaust pipe or muffler replacement in the job.
If you can weld and have a way to get under your car you CAN do it yourself and all it requires is cutting off the old one and welding in the new one (A thin metal round pipe where you can't see 25% of what you are welding....so you need to be a pretty good welder).
Go on line and look up Catalytic Converter for your car (need Engine size). If you live in CA make sure you get one that is CA legal.
