Finding A Right Hand Drive Conversion Company

By Paul Anderson


For many American car owners it may be necessary to make some modifications to make the car a RHD vehicle. Some people will do this using a kit and this will work although the end results are not of the highest standard. The best way to get the job done is to find a right hand drive conversion company and there are a few things to take into account before you proceed.

Before you have a major modification carried out on your vehicle there are a few important things to think about. If the car is still covered by a manufacturer guarantee, it will not be valid after the work. If you sell the vehicle, you may not get the full price, as it will no longer be a stock model. You will also need to notify the company that insures your car and there may be some changes in your payments.

You can find conversion specialists in a few places and some research will be needed to find a reliable firm. Many companies will advertise in motoring magazines and newspapers and others will list their services online. You can also speak to a mechanic in your neighborhood to see if they can do the work or recommend a firm that can help you.

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.
