Catalytic converter theft is not just an inconvenience; it's a costly nightmare. Whether you're an individual vehicle owner or a fleet manager overseeing dozens—or even hundreds—of vehicles, the financial implications can be staggering. Beyond the cost of replacing a stolen catalytic converter, there are hidden expenses that can quickly add up, especially if your vehicle is critical for work or business operations.

For instance, the cost to replace a catalytic converter for a Toyota Prius or Honda Accord can be over $2,000, while a Cat Shield costs just a fraction of this potential expense.

Replacement costs include parts and labor, sourced from RepairPal’s estimate calculator. The chart also highlights the highest-priced Cat Shield model in the vehicle category.

For fleets, downtime can lead to significant added expenses while waiting for parts and service appointments.

Data sourced from CerebrumX, chart reflects low end of estimated loss range of $448-$760/day.

Replacing a stolen catalytic converter involves more than just the repair cost. It can also lead to higher insurance premiums, daily rental car fees, and loss of wages if the vehicle is essential for work. For businesses, there are additional risks, such as service disruptions and reduced productivity. These hidden costs can quickly add up, making theft prevention a smart investment.

Protect your vehicles and avoid these headaches by investing in a Cat Shield. It's a cost-effective solution to safeguard your car or fleet and ensure uninterrupted operations. Don’t wait—secure your peace of mind today!
