Think horses, not zebras.

If your mechanic reset the check engine light and you are driving with "good" gas,
I'll suggest that both converters did NOT fail at the same time, or at all.
Instead it was a loose gas cap or something like that.

If the check engine light comes back on right within just a few miles, that's one thing,
but if it stays off for a longer, I suggest it's your mechanic that is failing.

Get a second opinion, or third, from a reputable establishment.
