He wants to remove your catalyst or he wants to steal it

first scan ur car.... a whole lot of things can cause check engine light including ur catalyst...... I don't know the intention of ur mechanic ooooo....but some local mechanics don't do anything when they tell u they will help u fix ur catalyst or change it. they just open ur dash board and off the light manually. Since It's underneat ur car and u won't really go under ur car to check after the supposed fix. They just chop free money.....
I know this is probably not the best advice u will get, but u r in nigeria, 70% of cars on Nigerian road have check engine light on. This crazily hot sun sef can cause check engn to come on in some cars.
If u worry about that thing too much u will just dash mechanics and rewire money periodically....just make sure u have done ur periodic engine,brakes, power steering and gear service. I'm just a nobody oooo.. but I drove my EOD for 4years with check engine and it was great all tru....
