My 2010 Avalon heat shield was rattling. Mechanic took it off, saying no harm

replaced?

It's there for a reason but if you don't want to replace it shouldn't be a big problem depending on where it is and what it does

Exactly, it was put there for a reason! Sounds like it's near the gas tank. Looking at a diagram of your exhaust system, you have two mufflers back there. One on each side. Have the heat shield replaced and start going to another mechanic! Jim
