The shops going to tell you anything for money....
I had it, i replaced both O2 sensors and it went away. Start there. You can do it yourself if you have an O2 sensor socket. WARNING: Mine were heavy seized on. Took every amount of patience, tools an strength to get them off. The new ones came with Anti-sieze on the threads.

O2 sensors rarely cause catalyst efficiency codes although they can lead to their failure. Usually, its a ruined cat (NOT "burned out") that was damaged due to failure to address something else, usually a misfire, that dumped too much raw fuel into the exhaust.
You REALLY need to use a scanner to compare the upstream vs downstream traces to see if the cat is functioning or not. It's pretty obvious when the cat has failed.

If touching the downstream sensor(s) -- which are actually in the cat -- don't lever them too much. You WILL just twist the bung out of the cat. Heat it up then try again. Even MAPP gas might get you there, just don't melt the wiring.
If the bung comes out, life gets more complicated quickly.
