Looking For A Reliable Right Hand Drive Conversion Company

By Douglas Peterson


Many vehicle owners will choose to convert an American manufactured car so that the operating controls are on the right hand side. These modifications can be done by using a parts kit but the results will not be of the highest standards and the best option is to use a professional firm to do the job. When you are looking for a reliable right hand drive conversion company you should do some research on the various options.

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.

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 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 go to pick up the car, the technicians will show what modifications have been carried out, and you will be given some important paperwork. A certificate confirming that the vehicle has passed safety inspections is issued along with your payment receipt. It is important to retain these documents as they may be needed if you sell or export your vehicle.

The majority of engineering firms will also carry out other mechanical work and servicing. If you discover a fault with the vehicle you will need to contact the firm and speak with them. It is preferable to let them do future work on the car to maintain the warranty offered by them.
