Finding A Right Hand Drive Conversion Company

Many car owners will need to convert a US made vehicle so that the driver controls are on the right. This modification can be done using a kit but the results are not that great and the better option is to use the services of a professional. When you are looking for a right hand drive conversion company there are a few things to be considered.

Prior to making these changes to your vehicle there are a couple of things you need to think carefully about. If your vehicle is fairly new, and still under a factory warranty, these modifications will affect the cover. The value of your car may decrease as it will no longer be an original factory model. You will also need to tell your car insurers that you have made the changes and your insurance costs may increase.

After doing a little homework you can find a well established business that will carry out the modifications to your vehicle. A lot of firms are listed in the phone book and they will advertise in newspapers and magazines. The internet is also a good place to find a conversion company and you can speak to auto technicians in your local area to see if they can help.

After locating a firm to do the work on your car you will need to make an appointment to visit them with your vehicle. The engineers will look over your car and work out what work is required and they will give you a price. It is a good idea to contact a few firms to get prices to enable you to get the best deal.

After accepting a price and agreeing to the work you need to get your car to the company's premises. You can take the vehicle there or they will arrange for it to be picked up from a convenient location. There will be some paperwork to complete and you will pay a deposit and you should ensure that all of your items have been taken out of the car.

The time it takes to complete your conversion will depend on the model of car and how much work is required. The companies that specialize in RHD conversions will finish your vehicle to a very high standard. When the modifications have been carried out the car will look as though it left the factory as a right hand drive model.

When your vehicle is ready and you collect it, or it is delivered to you, the technicians will explain what they have done and they will give you some documents. As well as the receipt for your payment you will get a certificate which proves the car is safe to operate. You will need to retain this paperwork in case you sell the car in the future or move the vehicle abroad.

If there are any problems with the car after the modifications you will need to speak to the company and get them attended to. Any future work on the car should be done by the conversion firm which will keep any warranty offered by them valid. If you need any other documents when you sell or export the vehicle then the firm that did the work should be able to help you with this.
