    My catalytic converter was stolen in SF. I didn’t know what to do, so I googled and found Yao Auto Repair. I called them and spoke to Janet who was extremely helpful, friendly, professional and patient. I was just so impressed by her service. And then the job.. wow they did such a great job....! Pricing was fair and they were pretty quick. I appreciated that they even washed my car! (After catalytic converter was stolen, I had my car sitting in my driveway for almost 2 years, so yah, car was a little dirty. Anyways, Janet & the Guys are amazing!!!

    Had my catalytic converter chopped off and they were able to work with my insurance, install a new converter, and install an anti-theft measure in just two working days and during Christmas week! Do not hesitate and just go here and get it done, easy.

    Had my Prius' catalytic converter stolen and this place fixed it on the same day within three hours of me bringing it in, which was incredible! Honest, respectful, hardworking--very impressed and highly recommended! Thank you Yao Automotive!

    Family run business. Yao put a very impressive array of steel cables and rebar around my catalytic converter. He showed me what he would do with the car lifted, and again after he finished

    Got me in and out quickly after calling for an appointment. Very reasonable price to weld in a catalytic converter I brought and told me the front catalytic gasket needed replacing, which they had in stock. Recommend for any exhaust related work.

    Yang Auto is located in a pretty risky area of Oakland. I asked the person about going for a walk in their neighborhood—and he discouraged me from doing it. I took my partner’s car in to have a cable welded on to make it more difficult to steal the catalytic converter from his 2010 Prius. Stealing catalytic converters is big business these days – – with the precious metals now worth way more than gold. Thieves are stealing catalytic converter’s here in Oakland, and all over the US. We have been reading about the quick removal of catalytic converter’s all over Oakland – – usually in the middle of the night. Sometimes they even remove them in a parking lot in the middle of the day. And it happens very quickly. Next thing you know—your car doesn’t have a catalytic converter. It’s better to protect your catalytic converter, instead of having to replace it which can be 3000 or so. Sandman’s shop installs range from 250-800 to protect your catalyst converter. We were able to get steel cables welded on to the our Prius for 180. It’s the best price we’ve seen. The hope is that if someone goes to steal the catalytic converter, they will see that it’s not worth their while and they will move onto the next car. So, we went to Yang Auto Repair because they have the best price that we’ve seen to protect a catalytic converter.
