Didn’t Tao Automotive used to be the only game in town for Honda repair? I always like to use the local shops where you might be a person instead of just another number.

Subject: Re: [internetworkers] Honda Accord catalytic converter advice

 

No experience, but from those prices, you could replace the third party part several
times and still be under the cost of the dealer option.

My regular mechanic is recommending a dealer replacement part instead of 

third party because they've had problems with third party parts not 

holding up.  Dealer part is $900 plus $70 to $100 labor.  Ouch.

Third party part options run $150 to $275.  Has Anyone had any 

experience with catalytic converter issues on '99 Honda Accords?  Any 

advice?
