Catalytic Converter Service at Integra Tire

At Integra Tire, located in Irricana, we specialize in the professional service of catalytic converters, which are essential for reducing harmful emissions from your vehicle. A properly functioning catalytic converter is crucial for vehicle efficiency and environmental compliance.

Identifying Catalytic Converter Issues

Recognizing the early signs of catalytic converter failure is key to avoiding more significant car troubles down the road. Here’s what to look out for:

• Check Engine Light: One of the first signs of a potential problem is the illumination of the check engine light. This can often be linked to catalytic converter inefficiencies detected by the vehicle’s diagnostics system.
• Increase in Emissions: A malfunctioning catalytic converter can lead to an increase in harmful emissions. If you notice more exhaust smoke or a change in its color, it might be time for a professional check-up.
• Unusual Odors: A failing catalytic converter can produce a sulfur-like smell (similar to rotten eggs) from the exhaust. This odor is a result of the converter failing to properly process and neutralize the hydrogen sulfide in the exhaust into odorless sulfur dioxide.
• Reduced Engine Performance: Issues with the catalytic converter can lead to reduced engine performance, including sluggish acceleration and overall power reduction.
• Rattling Noise: A rattling noise when starting the vehicle or during acceleration can be a sign that the internal honeycomb structure of the catalytic converter has deteriorated and is coming apart.
