Certified pre-owned Prius models with catalytic converter protectors

While it may be more well-known and understood that car thieves will target valuables or your stereo when breaking into your car, these days something else has been a common target for criminals: catalytic converters. The real target there is the valuable material which comprises those catalytic converters, with platinum and other precious metals being sought. The Toyota Prius has been especially targeted for this, and that is why it is important to make sure that your Prius is protected from thievery. Here at San Francisco Toyota, we sell certified pre-owned Prius models with catalytic converter protectors so you can have that added peace of mind. 

What protects the catalytic converter? 

We are pleased to offer our customers Cap City Muffler’s Cat Security™ Plate for the protection of the Toyota Prius models’ catalytic converters. This is a plate designed for the Prius that provides a barrier against thieves easily accessing the catalytic converter while not interfering with the operation of the vehicle. Would-be thieves would have to spend a lot of time and effort to steal a catalytic converter with that kind of protection, which is unlikely to be something a car thief is going to want to do. With the certified pre-owned Prius models, you can get this kind of valuable protection. 

Why catalytic converters are important 

Catalytic converters are devices that help with the emission of the gasses that are produced and released when the car is running. And, since these components are government-mandated by the Environmental Protection Agency, there are a lot of rules about them. You can’t get any old catalytic converter from just any old place. It has to be specific to the vehicle and in excellent, like-new condition. This is all to say, getting a new catalytic converter would be very costly and a major hassle, so getting it protected can help you avoid all that. 

Do you have more questions about the Toyota Prius catalytic converter protectors and this process? Contact us today and we will be happy to provide answers!
