Who We Are

We specialize in buying Catalytic converters, DPF, DOC, Foils & materials, using real-time precious metal pricing to ensure fair, market-driven pricing.

Our team works with:

Individual vehicle owners

Automotive repair shops

Fleets, Towing Companies & Industrial Sellers

Recyclers and scrapyards

We’ve built our process around speed and clarity—often starting with photo-based or SMS quotes—so sellers can get accurate pricing without unnecessary delays.

Market-Based Pricing

Our pricing is driven by real-time precious metal markets, including platinum, palladium, and rhodium. Every catalytic converter is evaluated using current market data, converter identification, and actual buyer demand. This approach ensures pricing reflects real value at the time of quoting, not outdated averages or flat estimates.

Fast Photo & SMS Quoting

We make quoting simple and efficient. By allowing customers to send photos and details by form or text message, we can quickly identify converter types and provide accurate estimates with minimal back-and-forth. This streamlined process saves time and delivers faster answers — especially for sellers who need pricing quickly.

Supporting Responsible Recycling

Sustainability & Environmental Impact

Catalytic converters, Foils, DPF, DOC and other emission components contain valuable precious metals that can be recovered and reused—reducing waste and supporting sustainable industrial practices.

Responsible recycling:

  • Reduces reliance on newly mined materials
  • Supports cleaner, more efficient industrial supply chains
  • Prevents emissions related components from entering landfills
We partner with established recycling channels to ensure all materials are handled properly and directed to responsible downstream processors, promoting environmentally sound recovery and reuse.

What Makes Us Different

Serial Number-Based Transactions
We exclusively buy and sell catalytic converters based on their serial numbers. This approach ensures that each converter is individually identified and valued, rather than relying on average pricing.
Precise Grading
Every single catalytic converter is graded by its serial number. We do not use average values, which means each item is assessed for its unique worth.
Live Market Pricing

Our pricing is always based on real-time market data. We pay for exactly what each converter contains, ensuring fair compensation for both buyers and sellers.

Handling NSN (No Serial Number) Brands:
For the few brands that do not have serial numbers, we have a specific payment method to ensure fair value.
Foils and Materials by the Pound
Both automotive and industrial foils, as well as other materials, are purchased by weight, providing a transparent and straightforward valuation.
Comprehensive Material Coverage
We handle a wide range of materials, including DPF & DOC, gas cat guts, loose gas catalysts, SIC, and SCR.
Maximized Value for All Parties
By focusing on serial numbers and live pricing, our process results in more money for both the buyer and the seller, compared to average-based methods.
