Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about Best Scrap Cat Prices
What should I send for a catalytic converter purchase review?
Send clear photos of the whole converter and serial stamp, vehicle and source details, your ZIP code, and contact information. SMASH uses these details to identify the converter and review purchase eligibility.
Does a quote request mean SMASH has accepted my converter?
No. A quote request is not acceptance, purchase eligibility, or permission to ship. SMASH confirms eligibility and sends an offer when an appropriate purchase route is available.
How is an offer evaluated?
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 do I ship an eligible converter?
After SMASH confirms eligibility and you accept the offer, ship to SMASH using your approved receiving instructions. Do not ship from a quote request alone.
When and how is payment made?
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?
Yes, you can submit its photos and condition for review. Purchase eligibility and pricing depend on identification, source details, condition and the available route.
