The short answer

Catalytic converter theft is a comp claim. Replacement typically $1,500–$3,500 including labor. If your comp deductible is $1,000, the claim may not be worth filing on lower-value cars. Anti-theft cages and etching may qualify for small comp discounts.

Frequently asked

Will filing raise my rates?
One comp claim rarely does. Multiple in 3 years may trigger a review.
