My experience with Always Buying Scrap Inc. was extremely unprofessional.
I called to ask about selling catalytic converters and was immediately treated like a scammer. The woman on the phone started asking a series of questions about "paperwork," who I worked for, and whether I was a mechanic shop instead of simply answering a basic pricing inquiry.
A few minutes later, my father called and asked to speak with a manager. Despite previously being told that a price could be given with the serial number, the manager spoke very quickly, in a confusing and roundabout manner, and continued treating my father like he was doing something wrong simply for asking about pricing.
At most other scrap yards or catalytic converter buyers, you can provide the serial number or send photos by text or email and receive a general price estimate. That's standard practice in the industry. Instead, we were essentially told we would need to drive all the way there just to inquire about value, only to be casually told it might be worth around $100.
This is not how professional businesses treat potential customers. The communication was dismissive, unhelpful, and unnecessarily suspicious.
I would strongly recommend other sellers call around before dealing with this company. read more
