Catrak offers advantages over cages or straps by providing discreet installation, real-time alerts. Cages and straps are simple to cut using the same tools that a thief uses to cut an exhaust system. Cages and straps DO NOT ALERT ANYONE OF A THEFT AT ALL, unlike Catrak which alerts of a theft in progress in real time and provides actionable data for law enforcement and insurance.

The installation of Catrak usually takes about 30 minutes.

No, Catrak doesn't require a certified technician for installation.

Catalytic converters are valuable due to the precious metals they contain, such as platinum, palladium, and rhodium.

The #1 targeted vehicle for catalytic converter theft tends to be trucks and SUVs.

The value of a used catalytic converter varies widely, but it can range from a few thousand dollars to tens of thousands of dollars. What the thieves are after is the precious metals and they don’t care what damage is done to your vehicle.

Stolen catalytic converters are often sold to scrap yards or illegal recycling operations. Illegal gangs make their money on the sale of the precious metals.

Availability of catalytic converters can vary, but sometimes they can be backordered from weeks to months. Specific year, make, and model may impact availability.

The cost to replace a catalytic converter depends on the vehicle and the type of converter, ranging from a few thousand dollars to over ten thousand dollars or more.

Top theft prevention measures include installing protective devices such as Catrak which alerts you to a theft in progress.

Catrak is better than other prevention measures because it offers real-time tracking and alerts and a 140db alarm helping to deter theft effectively.
