I have a check engine light on. It gave a cat code. First mechanic wants $1,100 to replace it. See picture. I said I saw cats on the Internet for a lot less. He said that they charge more because they make profit on the part plus they warranty it for 3 years/36,000 miles.
Second mechanic said could be the cat or O2 sensors. Could be both. He cleared the light and said drive it around for awhile. He said cats can take awhile to come back on. He added they would have to do a diagnostic to determine if cat or O2 sensor. He would give me a 2 year /24,000 mile warranty.
I kinda like what the second mechanic said. They won't put in a cat if it was O2 sensors.
I'm clueless about these kinds of things. What do you all think.? Is $1,100 too much for a cat?
