Finding A Well 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.

After doing some homework you can locate an established business that will do the modifications to your car. A lot of businesses are listed in the telephone book and they also advertise in newspapers and car magazines. The net is also a good place to find a company and you can speak to an auto technician in your neighborhood to see if they can recommend a specialist.

After finding a company to do the modification work you will need to visit them to discuss things. The mechanics will assess the car and work out what needs doing before giving you a quote for the work and explaining what will be done. It is useful to obtain quotes from a few different firms in order to make price comparisons before making a decision.

When you have made your price comparisons, and are ready to proceed, you will have to get your vehicle to the company. Most companies can arrange to collect your car or you can drive it there yourself. You are then able to pay a deposit for the work and you will need to complete and sign some paperwork which you should keep.

The time it takes to convert your car to a RHD model will depend on what modifications are required and the model of the car. The specialized mechanics will be very experienced and they will carry out the work to a high standard. When the alterations have been done the car will look as though it was originally manufactured as a right hand drive 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.
