Sadly, we’ve installed more than a fair share of catalytic undercar shields, and always after a theft has been made. From hybrids to SUV’s, thieves are becoming more brazen in their activities.

If you’re interested in protecting your vehicle, and the downtime of not having a working vehicle, call us to ask for more information on the kinds of catalytic shields which would@be best for your vehicle, and installation rates. (310) 450-1712.

California will soon have a newly updated child/youngster seat law.

The new law, spawned from Assembly Bill 435, takes effect January 1, 2026. It foregoes a child passenger’s weight and height for a 5-step fitment criteria, which is stated to better secure younger occupants and reduce bodily injury in impact tests.
