The economics of scrap car buying revolve around the global market value of recyclable materials. The two most critical variables in determining your vehicle's value are its total curb weight (measured in metric tonnes of steel) and the presence of the original, unmodified catalytic converter. The catalytic converter contains precious platinum-group metals (PGM) such as platinum, palladium, and rhodium. These rare elements are highly prized by regional metals refineries and can drastically increase the value of your scrap quote. Many dishonest online brokers will give high initial quotes only to dramatically reduce their price upon arrival by claiming the catalytic converter has degraded or is an aftermarket replacement. At City Scrap Car Removal, our technicians utilize specialized digital catalog databases to perform precise, honest on-site assays, guaranteeing you receive the maximum payout based on your vehicle's true material composition.
