Can a catalytic converter be cleaned or does it need replacement?
Cleaning works for 50–60% of cases — where the catalyst coating is intact but fouled with carbon, oil, or fuel residue. GarageNation uses a two-stage process: an in-situ chemical flush followed by a heat cycle. If the substrate (ceramic honeycomb) is cracked or physically damaged, replacement is needed.

Is catalytic converter cleaning covered by car insurance in India?
Standard comprehensive motor insurance covers catalytic converter cleaning only if the damage was caused by an accident or a specified peril (fire, flood). Mechanical failure from wear is not covered. Some premium insurance add-ons (engine protect, gearbox protect) do cover catalytic converter failures — check your policy document. GarageNation provides detailed repair reports for insurance claims.
