What we need to review it

Clear photos and source details help SMASH identify the converter and review purchase eligibility.

Photo of the whole converter

Required

Shape, size and stamps tell us which unit it is. No photo, no review — we don't guess.

Vehicle make

Required

Pick it from the list. Don't know it? Tick "I don't know the make" or send a photo of the badge or VIN plate — either one still lets the review go ahead.

Your ZIP code

Required

We use your ZIP code to review whether an eligible purchase and receiving route is available. Do not ship before approval.

Mobile and email

Required

Review updates go out by text and email, and an offer if SMASH confirms eligibility. We don't cold-call.

Serial or part number

Sharper price

The stamp maps to an exact model. A close-up photo of it is as good as typing it.

Count and condition

Helpful

How many, and whether intact, cut or decanned. Condition is part of the review.

The process

How it works

Clear photos and source details lead to eligibility review, an offer when eligible, approved receiving instructions, inspection and payment under the agreed terms.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers about requesting a catalytic converter purchase review from SMASH in the United States.

What do you need to review my catalytic converter?

Clear photos of the whole converter and serial stamp, vehicle details, source details, your ZIP code, and contact information. SMASH uses these details for a purchase eligibility review.

How is an offer worked out?

Eligible converters are identified from the submitted details and evaluated against current platinum, palladium and rhodium markets. The final purchase remains subject to the accepted offer and inspection.

How does shipping work?

Do not ship from a quote request alone. If SMASH confirms eligibility and you accept the offer, ship to SMASH using your approved receiving instructions.

When and how do I get paid?

Payment follows receipt and inspection under the method, timing and agreed lawful terms in your accepted offer. Government ID or source documents may be required where applicable law requires them.

Can I submit a cut, damaged or decanned converter?

You can submit its photos and condition for review. Purchase eligibility and pricing depend on identification, source details, condition and the available route.

Is there a minimum quantity?

Submit the actual quantity for review. SMASH confirms whether a purchase and receiving route is available before you ship.

The metals

What makes a scrap cat worth money

The shell is steel. The money is in a few grams of platinum-group metals on the honeycomb inside.

The metals

Every converter carries a ceramic or metal honeycomb coated with platinum, palladium and often rhodium. How much of each depends on the maker, the engine and the emissions standard it was built for — which is why the same-looking shell can be worth very different amounts.

OEM versus aftermarket

Original-equipment converters are loaded to pass the factory test and usually carry the most metal. Aftermarket replacements are built to a minimum and vary widely; some are worth very little. The vehicle make — or the badge photo — tells us which side of that line you are on.

Why the serial stamp helps

The stamped number maps to a specific model with a known loading, so we can price it without cutting it open. A readable photo of the stamp does the same job as typing it.

Why prices move

Platinum-group metals trade every day. A converter worth $150 this week can be $130 or $170 next week. That is why any offer SMASH sends is priced on the day it is sent and says how long it stands.
