Our Workshops

Whether you have shipped your car with us or not, we can assist with all of your imported car workshop requirements.

Fully Equipped for UK Compliance

Our workshop is fully equipped to deal with all UK homologation requirements as well as any MOT issues. We have an in-house MOT test lane with fully qualified MOT testers.

Our test lane can check headlight alignment, emissions, and brake efficiency on rollers, plus much more to ensure your imported vehicle complies with UK requirements and is safe for you to drive.

Our 20,000 sq ft workshop allows us to process vehicles in-house.

Our custom-developed systems manage your vehicle through our workshop, ensuring works are logged and any images are uploaded straight to your private portal for review.

Each vehicle is thoroughly checked over on arrival and any damage is logged for possible insurance claims. We then check the vehicle for UK compliance and any safety issues.

IVA & MOT Modifications

When a car is imported into the UK, it will likely need modifications to conform with UK rules and, if under ten years old, to pass an IVA Test. These include:

  • Addition of a rear fog light.
  • Amber indicators for the rear of the vehicle.
  • Separation of indicator and brake light functions.
  • Side repeater indicators.
  • Clear side lights at the front of the vehicle.
  • Headlights with a flat beam or correct UK pattern.

Over the years we have modified thousands of cars to UK specification. Our team of electrical engineers has developed safe and effective methods of converting imported cars’ lighting systems, including our custom light control module.
