Berkeley Auto Repair

We are authorized installers of “Cat Security”. It is a plate that covers the bottom area where the target converter is located. It is made of sturdy yet lightweight aluminum and attaches to existing mounting points on your Prius. Once installed it provides a strong barrier against catalytic converter theft.

We currently have kits that will protect all models of the Toyota Prius as well as 2005 – 2022 Toyota Tacoma’s with a V6 and four-wheel drive. We also have a kit for 2003 – 2011 Honda Element. We have been able to modify the Element kit to fit 2003 – 2011 Honda CRV. We will let you know when kits are available for other vehicles.

Even if you park your car in your garage at night, there will be a day when you need to park it on the street or a large, unprotected parking lot. It only takes a few minutes for the converter to be taken. It will cost you and/or your insurance company almost $3,000.00 and a few days, up to a week of your time to remedy the situation. So don’t get caught without some sort of protective measures.

The cost to install this protection is between $320.00 - $560.00 depending on the vehicle. Installation does not take exceptionally long but we do request about 4 hours and that you schedule an appointment.
