Catalytic Converter Problems Solved!
Catalytic converter problem? No sweat at Milito’s Auto Repair in Chicago, IL. A catalytic converter is the component of an exhaust system that converts harmful pollutants into less harmful emissions. Driving with a faulty converter can result in an increase in these harmful emissions and a loss of power, especially during initial acceleration.
Stolen Catalytic Converter? We can help! Not only can we replace a stolen catalytic converter, but prevent it from happening again by installing a CatClamp® system on your vehicle!
Get back on the road with confidence. Our experienced mechanics use all diagnostic tools at their disposal to get to the heart of the matter and minimize the cost of repairs. They diagnose any troubles that could lead to the replacement of your catalytic converter. If a replacement is necessary, they work with you to make the process as easy as possible. No matter what exhaust problem you’re facing, our team is ready to help get your vehicle like new again.
Protect your catalytic converter with CatClamp®. CatClamp® is an award-winning theft prevention device designed to protect your catalytic converter. It surrounds the catalytic converter with aircraft-grade wire rope that is very difficult to cut, even with power tools. It locks the converter to the chassis of the vehicle, creating too much work for a thief in a hurry. The Cat Clamp attaches to the exhaust pipes, not the converter, allowing all size and shape converters to be protected.

Stolen Catalytic Converters
It’s an unfortunate, common issue in Chicago – getting your catalytic converter stolen! If this has happened to your vehicle, you’ll notice a loud roaring sound that gets louder as you press the gas pedal. The vehicle will drive rough and you’ll hear a sputtering sound as you change speed.
If you look underneath the vehicle and see a gaping space in the middle of your main exhaust pipe, your catalytic converter has been stolen.
But don’t worry, Milito’s can fix it fast!
Add a CatClamp® to Prevent Catalytic Converter Theft
The CatClamp® is a simple device that attaches to your catalytic converter and prevents it from easily being removed by thieves. It’s made of heavy-duty metal and is designed to withstand attempts to cut or break it. And because it attaches directly to your converter, there’s virtually no way for thieves to steal it without damaging the converter itself.
The CatClamp® is available to protect virtually all makes and models. We can install them on your car, or an entire fleet of vehicles!
Catalytic converter bandits want a quick and easy score – and they can usually achieve this with a couple simple cuts using a reciprocating saw. But the CatClamp® makes stealing these valuable parts much more difficult and time consuming, and the mere presence of the CatClamp® can be enough to deter all but the most ambitious thieves.
Some key features of the CatClamp® include:
- Open cage design allows heat to dissipate normally from the converter.
- Installation of the CatClamp® may qualify your auto insurance policy for a discount, check with your auto insurance company for details.
