I needed to have a catalytic converter replaced on my Mitsubishi Montero. $1200.00 + tax with the dealer. The muffler shops do not have access to my cat from their distributors and Mits. was selling it for $899. I found a cat on line for a fraction of the cost and I could not get anyone to take a look to see if was adequate for the repair. Ace agreed to look at what I had. Decided it would work on the spot and knocked the job out in 1.5 hours on that same day with no wait. And the price was right to boot. 1/3 the original quote.

I was short on time, so I called ahead, and he checked to make sure he had all the parts before I came in. He used very high quality parts, and watching him work was enjoyable, since he's clearly a very experienced craftsman who works very carefully. He told me he guarantees his mufflers for life.

He only takes cash, he does not take credit cards or checks. He does give you a receipt so you have a record, but be prepared to have cash on hand. For my 1997 Ford Escort, it cost $75.00, including tax.
