Finding A Well Established Right Hand Drive Conversion Company

For many car owners it may be necessary to make changes to a US manufactured vehicle to make it a RHD model. Some owners will do this by using a conversion kit and this will do the job although the final results are not of the highest quality and finish. The best way to get this mechanical modification done is to find a well established right hand drive conversion company and it is advisable to do a little homework beforehand.

Before getting any modifications carried out on your car there are some very important things to consider. If your vehicle is still under its manufacturer guarantee it will not be applicable following the alterations. If you decide to sell the car, you may not get full market value, as it will no longer be a standard model. You will also need to inform the firm that insures your vehicle and there may be some rises in your premiums.

You can find a reliable conversion specialist in various places after doing a little research. Many businesses will have a contact number in the phone book, advertisements in local newspapers and monthly motoring magazines, and others will advertise online. You can also consult an auto mechanic in your local area to see if they can do the work or recommend a specialist engineering firm that you can use.

After selecting an engineering firm to do the work on your vehicle you will need to make an appointment to visit them for a discussion. The engineers will examine the car and work out what work is to be done and they will give you a price for the job. It is advisable to contact a few firms to get price quotes which will enable you to compare prices before you commit.

After agreeing to a price you need to get your vehicle to the company's workshop. You can drive your vehicle there but most firms will collect the car at a convenient time. You will have to pay a deposit before the work commences and you are required to fill in some paperwork which should be retained in a safe place.

The time taken to complete a conversion will depend on the type of vehicle and how much work has to be done. The engineering companies that specialize in conversions will finish the car to a very high standard. When the work has been completed your vehicle will look as though it left the manufacturer as a right hand model.

When you collect your car the technicians will explain what has been done and they will give you some important documents. Along with your payment receipt you will get a certificate which confirms the car is safe to drive on the highway. You need to retain this paperwork in case you decide to sell or export the vehicle in the future.

Most of the conversion specialists will offer other services such as servicing and maintenance for your vehicle. If there are any mechanical problems with your car following the conversion work you need to contact the firm. Any future maintenance work is best done by the firm that converted the car which will keep guarantees valid.
