Quick question: last minute shop needed

Hai RS

So I need to do a cat swap/cel reset by Wednesday.

Promised a family member, and I was gonna do it myself, but something at work came up and now time is going to be super tight.

I'll be heading from Downtown Van straight into Steveston at 5 ish tomorrow, so preferably anywhere near either location or on the way? Most of the shops close at 6:30ish, so I'll be calling in the morning tomorrow to see if anyone can squish me in before closing time. If it's closer to downtown, I can probably duck out of the office and getter done during the day.

It's a straight forward swap, with the proper tools it shouldn't take more than 15 minutes. The only little hiccup is that a couple bolts are a little rusted in, but nothing a little elbow grease/improv can't solve. The shop I usually go to quoted me $40-$50, but they're in Burnaby and I won't have time to go out there.

Will be calling DriveHard and GrandPerformance tomorrow, but just in case they're booked up, can anyone chime in with some shop referrals?

Thanks guys

What sort of car is it? Behind ironwoods there is "Heinz" and they do alright work. My family uses them. But there is also CG behind ironwoods And they are A++++ but can get booked. They usually do BMW but I'm sure they wouldn't mind. Give em a call

Civic. Literally 5 bolts.

Time's a priority, so I'll be calling every shop along the way to see if they can squeeze me in and getter done.

hope you bought a gasket too.. the one that sandwiches between the cat and b pipe, as those tend to crust when the are old and taken apart.

I'm trying to think back to if I put one on when I installed the test pipe.
Pretty sure I did.
