Free Etching from EGPD and Brake Masters

Recently, EGPD and Brake Masters hosted a free etching event on January 4, 2020. This is due to the recent rise of catalytic converts in the area. Moreover, the etching of catalytic converters prevents thieves from selling it. As a result, the etching provides a connection between the catalytic converter to the owner.

Finally, if you would like to learn more about catalytic converter etching, please contact Brake Masters of Elk Grove at (916) 714-8585.
