As you know, there is a $2500 fine for "tampering" with the catalytic converter. Get in touch with the owner of the facilty and explain to him/her that if the converter is not replaced at their cost, you will be notifying the authorities. The EPA is useless. You need to find the State agency. In most states, it will be within the department of agriculture. Good luck.

J.C. I just wanted to say that your report is one of the few I have seen on this site that I can completely respect! It was brief, intelligent and very informed. I too (having 10 years experience as a tech) am disgusted at such an un-professional move made by anyone who would claim to represent my profession. I only hope that as an instructor you have the satisfaction of realizing many truly competant auto repair technicians are out here succeeding in a sea of distrust and generalizations created by the kind of stupidity your daughter was unfortunately exposed to by this repair shop.
