Finding A Well Established 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.

There are a few things to be aware of prior to getting a vehicle converted. If the car is still covered by a factory warranty, having this modification will invalidate it. The resale value of the vehicle may be lower due to it no longer being a stock model. You will also need to notify the company that insures your vehicle of the alterations and your annual payments will probably be higher.

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 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 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 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 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.

Most of the conversion specialists will offer other services such as servicing and maintenance for your vehicle. If there are any mechanical problems with your car following the conversion work you need to contact the firm. Any future maintenance work is best done by the firm that converted the car which will keep guarantees valid.
