A healthy catalytic converter protects both your vehicle and the environment. Its primary role is to convert harmful gases such as hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide into less harmful emissions before they are released into the atmosphere.
If your converter isn’t able to perform its function properly, your car will fail its MOT, which can lead to more serious issues down the line if not addressed promptly. It’s for these reasons that you should book in with a professional garage like Lawfix Automotive the moment you experience any issues with your converter.

Poor engine performance – noticing slower acceleration or just general decreased engine performance all around.
Check engine light – The Engine light is coming on on your dashboard.
