My 2003 toyota corolla Sport check engine light keep coming on, I replaced the battery 3 weeks ago
and had to put water in the battery last night. I carried it to a mechanic and he said my catalytic converter is gone but he said I needed a major tune up, a water pump,belts replaced and transmission service at a cost of $595.00.In addition the catalytic converter would cost me $895.00 is this reasonableprices for these repairs.My cat was running good, starting up,no noises, just the check engine light keeps coming on and water evaporates from the battery.

First, I would recommend a second opinion. The cost of the converter seems very high. Also, it is odd that all of this needs done at once. Take the vehicle to a parts store and have them scan the computer for codes. Most will do it for free. That way, you'll know if the converter is the prolem.
