Same thing happened to me after a 500 mile trip in my 03 Camry. Just reset the code and pray the light doesn't come back on
Catalytic converter and Oxygen sensors?
>Would I be able to find parts much cheaper?
Parts? probably not "much" cheaper, But the actual cat probably much cheaper than his ludicrous markup. You'd save plenty on labor.
>catalytic converter and oxygen sensor.
>$1800 to fix
Highway robbery.
>So, how do I know which to use then?
Start by searching online, there may be a direct-fit aftermarket cat you can buy and have a shop install for you. It will bolt-in the same as OEM.
>O2 sensors
Same thing as above, get aftermarket ones from your local auto part store and replace them.
>So I can just wait until I'm due for emissions inspection
What code did you have, and is the car running okay now?
You're getting ripped off, my man. Where's how I would fix it
>remover post cat o2 sensor
>replace with dummy sensor
Cei is now fixed and you'll always pass obd2 emissions. It's probably a big fine if you somehow get caught though
>Save plenty on that's the thing, he quoted 2.5 hours for labor for the whole thing, so it's mostly parts.
He only uses OEM parts, but it sounds like I can get not-OEM for cheaper
>code
P0420 and 0430 were the codes. Car runs fine for now.
Yeah I'm pretty sure tampering like that is really illegal and literally a $10,000 fine or so.

Go back to Commiefornia
Just don't get caught
Try this first

>tfw getting assraped tomorrow for $900 just to get two O2 sensors replaced
>cat is probably fucked too and I'll end up getting assraped for that shortly afterward
