What Are Catalytic Converters Worth in Texas?
There is no single scrap price that applies to every catalytic converter in Texas. Two converters that look similar on the outside can have significantly different values depending on what is inside them.
Catalytic converters contain small amounts of valuable platinum-group metals. The amount and type of those metals vary from one converter to another, which is why accurate identification is important when determining scrap value.
Texas is a large state with automotive businesses, dismantlers, repair shops, recyclers, and individual sellers spread across a very wide service area. We buy catalytic converters statewide and can arrange pickup based on location and quantity.
Important: Online price estimates can become outdated quickly. Actual value depends on the specific converters being sold and the factors used to evaluate them.
What Determines Value
Factors That Can Affect Scrap Value
If you are selling catalytic converters in Texas, the following factors can influence how the material is evaluated.
Converter Identification
The identification number, markings, manufacturer, or other identifying characteristics can help determine what type of converter you have.
Precious-Metal Content
Catalytic converters can contain platinum, palladium, and rhodium. The amount varies by converter and application.
OEM or Aftermarket
Original equipment and aftermarket converters can have different material characteristics and values.
Condition
The physical condition of a converter and whether its internal material remains intact can affect evaluation.
Current Metal Markets
Precious-metal markets change over time, so converter values can move with changing market conditions.
Quantity
The number of converters being sold can matter when arranging evaluation, transportation, and pickup.

Before You Sell
How to Identify a Catalytic Converter
Identification is an important part of determining catalytic converter value. If you have a collection of converters, keeping identifying information together can make the evaluation process easier.
Look for Markings
Examine the outside of the converter for stamped numbers, manufacturer markings, labels, logos, or other identifying information.
Keep Converters Together
If you have multiple converters, keeping them organized can help when discussing the collection and arranging transportation or pickup.
Do Not Rely on Appearance Alone
Similar-looking converters can contain different amounts of valuable material. Exterior appearance by itself does not establish scrap value.

If you are unsure what you have, contact us with details about the converters and where they are located so pickup possibilities can be discussed.
