To completely replace your
Chevrolet Cavalier
catalytic converter, you’re looking at around $1,400. Your catalytic converter helps cut down on your vehicle’s emissions, so if it’s not functioning properly your
Cavalier
won’t pass an emissions test. You’ll want to get the converter checked out as soon as possible, but it may not need a full replacement.
Before you spring for a new catalytic converter, have a mechanic check the following:
  • Exhaust leaks
  • Faulty oxygen sensor
  • Wiring issues
  • Proper engine function
A catalytic converter is generally supposed to last the life of your vehicle, so by ruling out other mechanical issues, you might find the real problem – and save yourself a big repair bill! And if you want to save even more money, download the
