Hi, I recently scanned my car and the P0420 code came up. It says it has to do with the Catalytic converter. Does anyone know of how to fix this issue? Or how much it would cost approximately to get it fixed? Thanks a bunch!

95% of the time that code turns out to be a bad Catalytic Converter. Other posibble causes are and exhaust leak just ahead of the downstream 0/2 sensor or in some cases the computer needs an update for the issue. The dealer can answer that.
