Sell your catalytic converters to the source. Top price, paid on the spot.

Every converter is priced in front of you on live platinum, palladium and rhodium markets, from its reference number and XRF testing where needed. We collect free anywhere in South Africa, and because you sell direct to us, nobody takes a cut.

What we buy

Every converter, from every vehicle.

Ceramic and metallic converters, diesel particulate filters, petrol and diesel, from cars, bakkies, taxis, trucks and buses. Damaged, cut-open or partly empty units still hold value and are still bought.

  • Metallic (foil) converters
  • Diesel particulate filters (DPF)
  • Aftermarket and OEM units
  • Loose substrate and honeycomb

How we price it

Priced in front of you. No guessing.

The value of a converter is the platinum, palladium and rhodium in its substrate, and that varies enormously between models. Our agent identifies each unit by its reference number against our database of more than 35,000 converters, and XRF-tests substrate, bulk lots and anything the number does not settle. You see how the price is reached.

  • Live market prices. The unit and its weight are priced on that day's platinum, palladium and rhodium rates.
  • Full transparency. You watch the identification, testing and weighing. There is nothing to take on trust.
  • The source price. We buy direct, for our own account, so there is no middleman margin taken off your payment.
Collection is free and nothing is deducted for transport, testing or handling. The price you are quoted is the price you are paid.
For the motor trade

Workshops, exhaust fitters, scrapyards and fleets.

Most of the converters we buy come from the trade. We collect on a schedule, test on site, and pay by EFT with an invoice every time.

Exhaust and repair shops

Keep your bin, we collect it. Each unit tested, one invoice, paid before we leave.

Scrapyards and dismantlers

Bulk lots priced unit by unit, with XRF testing where it matters, not as a blended guess, so good units are paid as good units.

Fleets and dealers

Decommissioned vehicles and warranty replacements collected from your premises, with the paperwork your accounts department needs.

Converter questions

Common questions about selling catalytic converters

Which catalytic converters do you buy?
All of them: ceramic, metallic and diesel particulate filters (DPFs), from any make of car, bakkie, truck or bus, petrol or diesel. Damaged, cut-open or partly empty units still hold value and are still bought.
How do you work out the price of a converter?
Each converter is identified by its reference number against our database of more than 35,000 converters and priced on that day's platinum, palladium and rhodium prices. Substrate, bulk lots and any unit the number does not settle are XRF-tested. You see how the price is reached.
Do I need the serial number?
It helps but is not required. The number is stamped on the shell or heat shield; a clear photo of the whole unit on WhatsApp is enough for us to give you an estimate.
Do you buy from workshops, scrapyards and fleets?
Yes. Mechanics, exhaust fitters, scrapyards, dealers, fleet operators and panel shops across South Africa sell to us, and we collect from them on a regular schedule if they prefer.
