The catalytic converter can be one of the most valuable parts on a scrap car. If it is missing, damaged, aftermarket, or already removed, say so before accepting a quote in Craigavon.
Why catalytic converters matter
Catalytic converters contain recoverable precious metals. The exact value varies by vehicle, engine, age, and current market demand.
If the cat is missing
A missing catalytic converter can reduce the quote because the buyer priced the vehicle assuming it was present. Being upfront avoids a revised offer at collection.
Hybrid and petrol vehicles
Some hybrid and petrol models can carry stronger catalytic converter value than owners expect. The vehicle registration helps identify the likely unit, but final checks still matter.
Do not remove it after quoting
If the catalytic converter was present when you requested the quote, do not remove it before collection unless you agree the change with the buyer.
Local collection check
For vehicles collected in Craigavon and nearby areas such as Armagh, Banbridge, and Craigavon, Armagh and Banbridge, the collector may check whether the catalytic converter is present before confirming payment.
