WHAT WE BUY

We buy a wide range of catalytic converters and related units from individuals, shops, recyclers, and commercial sellers across North America. Value is determined by type, material content, and current precious metal markets.

OEM Catalytic Converters

Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) converters typically contain higher precious metal content and often carry the highest value.

Aftermarket Catalytic Converters

Aftermarket units vary widely in value depending on brand, material loading, and condition. Photos help us quote accurately.

Foreign Catalytic Converters

Converters from import vehicles often contain higher precious metal concentrations and are evaluated individually.

Domestic Catalytic Converters

Converters from North American vehicles are graded based on serial numbers, internal composition, and current market demand.

Heavy-Duty / Diesel Units

We evaluate larger converters and diesel-related units based on size, substrate type, and recoverable material.

Bulk & Mixed Loads

Mixed lots and bulk quantities are welcome. We work with recyclers, shops, fleets, and scrapyards on volume-based pricing.

PRICING FACTORS

What Determines the Value of a Catalytic Converter?

Catalytic converter pricing is based on measurable factors tied to precious metal content, unit type, and current market conditions. Every quote reflects real data—not guesswork.

Precious Metal Prices

Converter value is closely linked to live market prices for platinum, palladium, and rhodium, which fluctuate daily based on global demand.

OEM vs Aftermarket

OEM converters typically contain higher precious metal loadings, while aftermarket units vary widely depending on brand and construction.

Serial Number & Identification

Serial numbers and stamped markings help identify the converter model and internal composition, allowing for more accurate valuation.

Internal Substrate

The ceramic or metallic honeycomb inside the converter plays a major role in recoverable metal content and overall value.

Condition & Completeness

Converters that are intact and unmodified are generally easier to evaluate. Missing components or heavy damage can affect pricing.

Quantity & Volume

Bulk or mixed loads may qualify for volume-based pricing, especially for commercial, recycler, or fleet sellers.

Why Prices Change

Catalytic converter values are closely tied to global precious metal markets, including platinum, palladium, and rhodium. These metals are traded daily and can fluctuate based on supply, demand, industrial usage, and broader market conditions.

In addition to metal prices, converter values can change due to:

  • Shifts in refinery demand

  • Changes in vehicle manufacturing and emissions standards

  • Variations in the availability of specific converter types

  • Short-term market volatility

Because of these factors, pricing can move quickly. A converter quoted today may be worth more or less tomorrow depending on market activity. That’s why all quotes are time-sensitive and calculated using current market data at the time of evaluation.

Want an Accurate Price?

The fastest way to get an accurate estimate is to send clear photos and basic details of your catalytic converter. Our team uses live market data, converter identification, and real-world demand to provide pricing that reflects current conditions — not outdated averages or guesswork.
