Learn About The Catalytic Converter Shop
The Catalytic Converter Shop is a specialty division of Bay State Muffler concentrating on catalytic converter diagnosis, repair, and replacement.
Think of us as a shop within a shop. At Bay State Muffler, catalytic converter service is something we have always done (and done well). With our launch of The Catalytic Converter Shop, we are applying deeper focus on this important part of your exhaust system. Our goal with The Catalytic Converter Shop is to better inform the public on all things related to catalytic converters, and to provide this specific service more effectively and economically to our customers both new and old.
In many cases, an exhaust leak can fool a car’s computer into thinking the catalytic converter has failed, when all the car really needs is a simple exhaust repair to solve the problem. However, if it turns out you do need a new catalytic converter, thanks to our unique approach to this service we are able to provide high quality catalytic converters at surprisingly low prices. Compare our quote to the mechanic or new car dealer and you will be amazed!

Why Choose Us?
At The Catalytic Converter Shop, we have specialized skills that allow us to approach this service differently from almost any other shop in the area. We manufacture and install your new cat, saving you money.
We utilize our expert skills in welding and bending exhaust pipes to minimize how much we need to repair/replace parts for your vehicle. We never throw out good parts with the bad. This also saves time and money.
Whenever we repair or replace a catalytic converter or any other part of the exhaust system, we use high-quality exhaust components that we stand behind with generous warranties:
We warranty our parts and our labor: the function of the cat is covered for 2 years/25,000 miles whichever comes first; the construction of the cat is covered against defects (eg. rusting through) for 5 years/50,000 miles, whichever comes first.
Our expertise and many years of experience performing catalytic converter service are way beyond our competition. This is a new shop name but the service isn’t new to us. In fact, we are amongst the longest-standing exhaust mechanics in the area.
We have a long history of installing carefully chosen, high-quality, high-value aftermarket catalytic converters that function well and keep that check engine light off. For a period of time in the early 2000s, some installers lost faith in the aftermarket catalytic converters to perform as intended. This was a period of time when the cars were getting more complicated, but the aftermarket hadn’t yet caught up in producing sophisticated enough cats to keep up with the modern vehicle standards. Eventually, the aftermarket manufacturers did catch up and have since produced high-quality reliable catalytic converters.

Meineke quoted $1,400 for the catalytic converters alone! These guys gave us an $800 quote for everything and ended up calling us and telling us that we could wait on the pipe for now and that our bill would be closer to $500! I will never go anyplace else for muffler work ever again.

I’ve been going here for years - love these guys. Honest, reasonable and thorough. I’ve gone in thinking I needed an expensive job, and they sent me away saying I didn’t actually need anything. Plus they are fun to talk with.

Conventional auto repairers asked $900 to replace the whole system but they fixed it for $125. Also every employee in this place was very gentle and helpful. Totally recommend it.

All my family and friends know and trust this company. I went in there expecting to spend about $600-700 and a few hours to a day without my truck. They took me right away and I was out of the place in 30 min from the moment I pulled in and only spent a little over $100. I was amazed at the speed and price.
