How much does it cost to fix a Chevrolet Malibu catalytic converter?
I damaged the catalytic converter on my Chevrolet Malibu in a recent accident. They’re really expensive to replace and I don’t think I can afford it. Is there any way to get it repaired instead?
catalytic converter is cracked or has other outside damage, you probably won’t be able to repair it. However, don’t panic just yet! There are ways to save some money on a replacement converter. Here are some tips:
Get estimates from several different repair shops and compare them for the best rates
Check your vehicle’s warranty, as some repairs may be full or partially covered
See if your vehicle has an emissions warranty—these usually extend past the manufacturer’s warranty and would cover a damaged catalytic converter
Check your car insurance policy. Collision coverage would pay for any parts damaged in an accident
