Catalytic converter theft is on the rise across Los Angeles—including right here in Burbank. At Calstate Auto Repair, we help drivers protect their vehicles with affordable catalytic converter protection options that prevent theft and save you thousands in repairs.
Why Are Catalytic Converters Stolen?
Catalytic converters contain precious metals like platinum, palladium, and rhodium. Thieves can cut them off in minutes and sell them for scrap. Common targets include:
- Toyota Prius
- Honda Accord and Element
- Trucks and SUVs with high ground clearance
- Work vans and fleet vehicles
How We Protect Your Vehicle
We offer several theft-deterrent solutions:
- Catalytic converter shield installation (steel or aluminum guards)
- Custom welding of rebar cages or brackets
- Etching VIN or license plate numbers for traceability
- Anti-theft alarm sensors for undercarriage tampering
- Exhaust system reinforcements
These add a visible barrier that makes thieves move on to easier targets.
