Catalytic Converter Shield Installation
Parkway Car Care in Rowlett offers catalytic converter shield installation to protect your vehicle. Unfortunately, due to high prices of the precious metals that are used in catalytic converters, there is a nationwide epidemic of catalytic converter thefts. At our Rowlett auto repair shop, we can install a shield to protect your car’s catalytic converter. The shield makes it difficult, noisier, and more time-consuming to steal the catalytic converter, so thieves are likely to move on, looking for an easier target.
Cars that are most likely to be targeted by thieves include the Toyota Prius (particularly the Prius Gen 2) and the Honda Element. However, we are also aware of Ford, Lexus, Toyota Tacoma, Nissan NV200 vans, and Chevrolet City Express vans being targeted as well.
Depending on the make and model, a catalytic converter shield (“cat shield”) made specifically for your vehicle may be available. If not, there are “universal” shields available as well. The process is fairly straightforward, and if you drop your vehicle off in the morning, you will be able to pick it up the same day.
As catalytic converter thefts continue, the “cat shields” evolve to provide better protection. At Parkway Car Care in Rowlett, we stay updated on the latest developments in catalytic converter protection and offer the most effective catalytic converter shields to our clients. We also recommend parking your car inside the garage whenever possible. If you cannot, call us to set up an appointment for catalytic converter shield installation.
