Went in with a broken flange on my exhaust pipe. Mechanic wanted to replace the whole catalytic for $500. I asked if he could just cut out the broken flange end and weld in a replacement. He eventually did it, but still charged $200 for about 20 min of work. Not impressed with either his initial solution or his eventual price. I note this is my only experience at this garage.
