Searching For 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.

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.

When you have located the engineers to do the modification work you will need to call them for a consultation. They will examine your car and work out what work is required, how long it will take and they will quote you for the job. You should get in touch with a few companies to get quotes and this will allow you to compare prices before you make a decision.

When you are satisfied with a price and a ready to go ahead, you will have to take your car to the company premises. You can drive the car there yourself or the firm will arrange for it to be collected at a convenient time. You will then need to fill in some paperwork and pay a deposit and you should remove any personal items from the vehicle.

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.

When you get the vehicle home and you discover a problem then you should contact the conversion firm as soon as possible. Any maintenance that is done in the future should be done by them to keep the warranty valid. If you export the car, or sell it and you require any additional paperwork, then you can contact the company and they can issue the necessary documents.
