Chicago Catalytic Converter Service

Home » Services » Catalytic Converter Service

All petrol cars built since 1993 are required to have a catalytic converter. When yours needs auto repair attention, the highly skilled auto mechanics at Zepeda Auto Repair in Chicago are competent at getting yours back up to speed. You won’t pass an emissions test if the catalytic converter isn’t working correctly. And besides, why would you want to put all of those toxins into the beautiful Chicago air? At least let’s not make things worse!

While catalytic converters have been around since the 1950s, Zepeda Auto Repair in Chicago has been working on them since 1989. We take extreme pride in our work, and our priority is to our customer.

It’s what makes us unique and stands us apart from most other auto repair shops in the industry.

We love our work, and it shows in the catalytic converter work we do as well as any other auto repair or service performed at Zepeda Auto Repair in Chicago. This tends to show up in wonderful 5-star customer reviews like this one:

Took my car in for routine service and was very satisfied with the quality of work these guys did. They found a few issues with my brake pads and rotors and sent me pictures and everything in a web-based report with the quote. The actual repair work went fast and without a hitch, would bring my car here again.

I would recommend Zepeda’s to anyone. They are professional, friendly, and reasonably priced. They don’t do work that doesn’t need to be done. I feel like a valued customer when I go to Zepeda’s and that makes me value them all the more.

This is a great auto shop. The prices are good and they dont try to upsell you on costly and unnecessary repairs like my toyota dealer always does. Honesty is refreshing and I feel it at Zepeda. I will be using them exclusively from now on.

Took my car in due to brakes issue. They took my car immediately, and it was ready to go in just a few hours. David, at the front desk, was very helpful and even followed up with me a few days later to ensure satisfaction with the work. Also, the price was more affordable than all other quotes I received. Absolutely will be back when needed!

Rachel Shirley

Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. They’re honest about critical items that need to be fixed and what only needs to be monitored for the time being. Taken my car and my husband’s car there a couple of times and received great service every time at fair prices. This is our go-to repair shop in Logan Square/Humboldt Park.

A little out of the way for me, but David is super nice so I don’t mind. Never had issues getting service here or waiting a long time for work to be done.

My daughter drove into the city to visit for a few days and her car had some issues when she arrived. I worked with David and he got her car in the next day to diagnose the problem. They even provided a detailed report of other items that need addressed. They were able to fix the safety issues in a day and get her car back to her in time for her drive home. The entire experience with Zepeda was easy and professional. I will be recommending their services to family and friends. Thank you Zepeda Auto Service.

By far the only shop I trust with my Porsche cayenne, I travel 45 min to an hour to this shop the only shop I trust with my truck period. Give them a try you will NOT be disappointed. David keep up the good work.

The people at Zepeda are AMAZING. Their prices are more than fair and they work quickly. I had an instance where Chicago towing ripped off my side view mirror and I called Zepeda for a quote because I had come to them for brake service before.I called again the next day to ask when I could bring it in. David told me to bring my car in the next morning, ASAP. When I dropped it off, he told me I could pick it up THAT EVENING because they had already ordered the part they needed for me –THE quickest turnaround I have ever had for a car repair.I believe it is David who usually answers the phones. He is always very kind and helpful. He communicates quickly and ensures that you know exactly what is happening with your car. I always feel like my car is being repaired with care when I bring it to Zepeda, as if they are taking care of their own personal vehicle. I cannot recommend Zepeda enough.

These guys misdiagnosed my car had misfire issues on my vehicle and was told it needed a tune up I drove off after them changing all my ignition coils and spark plugs 900$ to still have the same issue. I take it to the dealer to find out the engine is bad and I had low compression. That 900$ could of went into my new engine

I’ve been a customer of Zepeda Auto for years, they came highly recommended by a friend and never disappoint. They’re efficient and honest – I never feel like they’re attempting to sell me on repairs I don’t need. They explain things thoroughly with pictures and a great online invoice that is super clear, and respect my decisions what to go ahead with. I’m thankful there’s a local business to trust my vehicles with, and David does a great job manning the front desk and phones!

Steve Lessaris

Zepeda is fast, reliable and has great communication! They took care of all of my car repairs swiftly and made sure that I was satisfied with the service and that everything went well with my vehicle after the repairs.
