I just bought a used 1997 Chrysler Sebring and it failed the smog test. I took it into the mechanic and he said that I need a new catalytic converter. About how much will this cost to fix?|||An aftermarket direct fit converter for your car should run around $150 to $300 for the part, plus the labor charges to have it installed.
The factory converter will run anywhere from $400 on up just for the part (some get well over $1000). They'll generally last longer, but I'd go with the aftermarket if I was paying for it.
Best to call a few shops and ask them about the cost for doing it, call regular repair shops as well as muffler shops to see who'll give the best price and warranty. Be sure to ask if warranty covers parts and labor, or just the parts. Then go with the shop that suits you best.|||Two hundred dollars or so. Auto Zone has the converter for $85 and it shouldn't cost more than $100-150 to have it installed. If the mechanic wants more than $300 with him supplying the converter then go to another mechanic.|||Should be around 300 DIY. I would call an exhaust shop that sells direct and see what they get for just the convertor, cash and carry, it'll save you alot.|||at an auto repair shop probably 800$
