I just bought my car and I am the second owner. I drove 250 miles and the check engine light came on. Took it to Autozone and codes read: Catalyst system efficiency below threshold, air leak in exhaust before rear H02S, AF system error or faulty catalytic converter.
Dealer says he tuned up vehicle, along with replacing, wheels tires etc. I have to take it back for repair but I want to make sure the repair takes care of the problem. How will I truly know what the problem is and how will I know they honestly replaced anything?

You have a DTC P0420 possibly a catalytic converter or an oxygen sensor problem-

Mesage should have read 2000 Celica, probably not important. If the cat needs replaced can you give me an idea of how long it wil take to replace it?
