Catalytic Converters

in order to get a more accurate price when calling please have the number off of the catalytic converter. It is useful to know what vehicle it comes from but the numbers stamped on it are much better and will speed up the process. The numbers are sometimes on the body, or sometimes stamped on the flat edge. OEM converters are worth more than aftermarket.

We do not sell Steel, but have a limited amount of Stainless Steel in stock at varying times. You are welcome to come and look at items we have in our front are which may contain some interesting items. No visitors are allowed in the storage area of the yard for safety consideration.

Who is the cute looking one?

Gabe Nott joined the concern in 2017.

Oh, you were wondering about the dog…

This is Copper who joined us in June 2015, he loves to play with his toys. I am very curious and friendly, sometimes a little too excited to see you. I may bring you my ball and drop it in front of you expecting you to play with me, just throw it and I will catch it. Don’t give it to me! He is nice as long as one of our employees are around!
