Questions & answers

Questions & answers

The questions we are asked most often – answered briefly and honestly. Something missing? Write to us.

01 Price & valuation

How much is my catalytic converter worth?

That depends on the type, the condition of the monolith and the daily price of platinum, palladium and rhodium. Send us photos and the number on the shell – and we will give you a concrete price range.

Why are there no fixed prices on the website?

Because precious metal prices change every day and two similar converters can contain very different amounts of metal. A list would be outdated the next day. Instead, you receive a written offer with a date.

What is an aftermarket converter and why is it worth less?

Aftermarket converters are replacement parts from the accessories trade. They usually meet the emission standard with much less precious metal than an original part. We still buy them – but at a correspondingly lower price.

Do you buy diesel particulate filters (DPF/FAP)?

Yes. Some filters are coated with platinum and have real metal value, others hardly any. From the number we can tell you honestly what to expect.

What if the number is no longer legible?

Then photos from several angles, the weight and details about the vehicle help. For larger quantities, settlement by assay is the fairest solution.

02 Process & hand-over

Do I have to remove the converter myself?

We buy removed parts. Removal should be done by a professional workshop – not least because the vehicle will need a new converter afterwards.

Can I send converters by post?

Only after prior agreement. The ceramic breaks easily; we will tell you how to pack correctly and where to send it.

Do you pick up?

For businesses and larger lots, yes – in Vienna and the surrounding area and, by arrangement, throughout Austria. Single pieces can be delivered by appointment.

How quickly do I get my money?

After the inspection you receive the purchase receipt and the transfer. We state the payment date in the offer; for settlement by assay it depends on the laboratory result.

03 Legal & documents

Why do you need my ID?

Catalytic converter theft is a real problem. With ID or company details and a purchase receipt we make sure that we only buy goods with traceable origin.

Do I get a receipt?

Yes, always. Private sellers receive a purchase receipt, businesses a credit note with VAT number and every item listed.

Do you buy goods from abroad?

Lots from other EU countries by arrangement. We clarify transport and the necessary accompanying documents with you in advance.

What happens to the converters?

They are passed on to specialised processors and refineries. There, platinum, palladium and rhodium are recovered and used again in industry.

Why is there no phone number?

We deliberately work in writing: photos, numbers and prices can be recorded clearly by e-mail – and every arrangement remains traceable.

Send us a photo.

Photos and the number on the shell are enough for a first estimate. We reply in writing, usually within one working day.
