Locating An Established Right Hand Drive Conversion Company

By Douglas Peterson


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.

Prior to modifying a car there are some important things you need to think carefully about. If the vehicle is still under a factory warranty, the modifications will usually invalidate the cover. The future value of the vehicle may also decrease as it will not be a factory original model. You also need to tell your car insurance providers that you have made the alterations and the costs of your cover may increase.

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.

When you have located a business to carry out the modifications you need to call them for a consultation. They will carefully inspect the car and work out what work is needed, how long it will take to complete, and they will give you their price. You should call a few firms to get quotes and this will allow you to spend some time to compare prices.

When you have compared the quotes and selected a firm you will need to get the vehicle to their premises for the work to be done. The majority of firms will collect your vehicle or you can take it there yourself. You will usually have to pay a deposit and complete some paperwork and it is important to retain this for when you collect your car.

The length of time it takes to do the job will vary depending on the car model and what work is required. The conversion specialists are very experienced and they will finish the vehicle to extremely high standards. When the work is finished the car will appear as if it left the manufacturers factory as a RHD 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.

Many of the engineering companies will provide servicing and maintenance for your vehicle in the future. If you discover a problem after collecting your vehicle you should contact the firm as soon as possible. Any future maintenance or repair work should be done by them to keep the warranties valid.
