Failed emissions test — catalytic converter likely the culprit

So I took my Grand Cherokee in for its annual vehicle inspection last week, and I was pretty shocked when it failed the emissions test with readings that were way higher than they should have been. The guy at the testing centre just shrugged and said it looked like the catalytic converter wasn't doing its job properly, which was frustrating because I had no idea there was even an issue until that moment. Since then, I've noticed that the car has been feeling a bit sluggish during acceleration, and there's a slight sulfur smell that I never really paid attention to before but now I'm hyperaware of it every time I drive. I've been doing some reading online and it seems like a failing catalytic converter can cause all sorts of problems, from poor fuel economy to decreased engine performance, and if you leave it too long it can even cause damage to the oxygen sensors or other components. The thing is, I'm not really sure what my options are — do I need a whole new converter, or is there some way to clean or repair the existing one? I've heard that some places can do a chemical cleaning that might restore some function, but I'm skeptical about whether that actually works long-term or if it's just a temporary fix. I live and work around the MBZ City area, and I've been trying to find a specialist who really knows what they're doing with these systems rather than just quoting me for a full replacement without even doing proper diagnostics. I came across a recommendation for a Trusted Jeep catalytic converter specialist in MBZ City, and apparently they have the proper equipment to test the converter properly and can tell you whether it really needs replacing or if there's another underlying issue causing the problem. Has anyone here been through a failed emissions test and managed to resolve it without spending a fortune on a new cat? I'd really appreciate any advice or experiences you can share, because I'm dreading the cost of this repair and I want to make sure I'm making the right decision.
