Frequently asked questions
Straight answers about selling catalytic converters to SMASH in Canada.
What do you need to price my catalytic converter?
A clear photo of the whole converter, the make of the vehicle it came from (or tick "I don't know the make", or send a photo of the badge or VIN plate), and your postal code. A photo of the serial or part number stamp gets you a sharper price. We also need a phone number and email so we can send the offer.
How is the price worked out?
From the converter's platinum, palladium and rhodium content and today's metal prices. The offer is one all-in number with shipping built in, confirmed when your converters arrive and pass inspection.
How does shipping work?
When your converters fit in one box up to 60 × 45 × 40 cm and 25 kg (roughly one to ten converters), we send a prepaid Canada Post label to SMASH HQ and the shipping is built into your offer. Bigger or heavier lots: we arrange it with you before you accept. Your postal code is what we use to set it up.
When and how do I get paid?
By Interac e-Transfer, after your converters arrive and pass inspection. Government ID may be required before payment where provincial law requires it.
Do you buy cut, damaged or decanned converters?
Yes. Intact, cut, damaged or decanned honeycomb are all priced on their precious metal content, not the shell.
Is there a minimum quantity?
No. One converter or a pallet. Anything beyond one box we arrange with you.
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 we price on the day and tell you how long the offer stands.
