About this center

Platinum Recovery & Recycling specializes in catalytic converters and buys them from suppliers nationwide. Each converter is video graded and decanned with the company's patented process, then the ceramic substrate is crushed, milled, and assayed with ICP and XRF analysis to measure precious metal content. The Seguin facility also takes cores from starters, alternators, compressors, and gearboxes, along with lead acid batteries, wire, and non-ferrous metals. Suppliers get pricing from a database of more than 15,000 analyzed converters and a mobile grading app, and payment comes by cash, check, or wire transfer. Visits are by appointment only.

Review

As a resident living behind this building they aren't respectful of their surrounding. This company could have notified neighboring residents of the trees overhanging their fence line and let us know they were a problem prior to chopping large branches down and throwing them onto our fences and RV and other property causing damage. They didn't tie off branches just letting them crash to the ground most being so large that I personally could not move them. They did not clean up the mess or offer to remove these branches. As a single mother with 2 kids and one being special needs I struggle to find time to do basic yard work. Much less remove branches 3x larger than me. And I should not have to call someone when I'm not at fault. I'm truly disappointed a company would purposely do something this disrespectful to its neighbors. We deal with the loud music and yelling and banging. Atleast clean up your own messes or notify the people responsible for the trees so that we may fix it properly.

The guys are always very helpful. No not just because I'm a woman. The service is the same whether I'm alone or with my significant other. I apologize but some of you know that's exactly what ran through your head when you read that. They work fast and pay you properly. I choose them over CMC.

Customer service is severely lacking. But if you want to sell your catalytic converters you can do so for probably no more than $50 per... I don't know if it's normal for these places to want every bit of personal information besides your SSC but they will indeed take it. And who knows if this information is being stored securely? They didn't even bother to tell me how much they would pay for the catalytic converters until I had already signed everything fingerprinted and they started handing me a mediocre wad of dollars... It's clear these places aren't in the business of paying money to a customer.
