Catalytic converter thefts are an ongoing problem in NYC. A thief can slide under your car and take one in minutes, leaving you with thousands in repairs. While certain models like the Prius & Honda CRV are a favorite target, we’ve seen all makes and models, both old and new.
While our auto repair shop in Greenpoint, Brooklyn sees the bulk of catalytic converter theft victims from Greenpoint, Bushwick, Williamsburg and Bed-Stuy, our Glendale auto repair shop sees a slew of catalytic converter thefts in Ridgewood, Queens.
You’ve probably reached this page while searching for catalytic converter shields, or shopping for catalytic converter cages in NYC. A lot of drivers turn to flimsy pre-fab catalytic converter shields to protect their vehicles, but at Blue Star Brothers, we take a different approach. We custom-build rust-proof, anti-theft shields for each individual car. That means measuring, cutting, shaping, and welding the fittings and hardware so the shield sits exactly where it needs to.
Every bolt is welded into place, every bracket reinforced. It’s designed to stop a bandit the moment they look underneath your car. Removing one of our shields would take a lot of time, specialized tools, and the kind of access you’d only find in an auto repair shop—not on the street. A custom-built catalytic converter shield is built to fit and built to protect.
Our custom catalytic converter shields start at $500-$800 depending on the make of your vehicle.
