I went to a mechanic and he said that the reason why my check engine light was on is because my catalytic converter wasnt working, and that because of this, i would not pass my smog emissions test. He then proceded to tell me that he tried to find a catalytic converter, but the only one he could find costs $800. He also said he would have to replace several gaskets due to changing the converter. When i got home, I googled catalytic converter 99 honda civic, and got quotes between $70 and $250. I'm trying to figure out why he told me that it would cost $800. Was he just over simplifying the fact that I need more than one converter replaced? OR is that unlikely? I usually like to give people the benefit of the doubt, but this is sketchy.
How many catalytic converters does a 99 honda civic ex have?
