HELP!
LA friends! I'm looking for a mechanic!
I need new catalytic converter installed, I think :/
Failed SMOG test by 2 points (dur) and that is the issue according to "the computer".
The kicker: Apparently my car is too new to buy a converter from anywhere besides the dealer, which is around $1100. I went to a small Muffler garage and they can't order anything newer than 2005! But THEN I found one on www.autoanything.com for around $100!! Is this bogus? I'm not quite sure what to do.
I need a place that knows what direction to point me in. Should I buy one on my own? Should I get another SMOG test? I can't spend more than like $200 in addition to SMOG and registration :(
