I recieved a diagnosis (from a trusted mechanic) that I likely had a bad catalytic converter on my Dodge Stratus. I saw the positive review on Yelp and decided to try Mad Hatter. I received a phone quote for $269.00 to replace the CC. When I brought the car in, Mark (the shop tech) decided to check to make sure the CC was bad before doing the replacement.
Mark spent about 20-30 minutes on the CC, finally taking it down and showing me that it was okay and didn't need replacement. He had let me know beforehand that there would be a small charge to check it (which I okayed), but only ended up charging me about half of what he quoted because it didn't take as much work as he thought. In these times, with everyone scrapping for every dollar, it's really nice to know that there are honest mechanics out there willing to help YOU save money. I will definitely recommend this shop to anyone needing muffler/CC/brake work in the future.
