FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WILL I HAVE TO GET MY VEHICLE MODIFIED SO DOT AND EPA AND CUSTOMS WILL LET IT IN THE USA?
Sometimes yes and sometimes no. You will find that are a lot of special circumstances that may allow importation without costly modification. You'll need to contact us to find out about it. Trying to dig them out of the federal web sites can be harrowing. We do it every day. Let us do the hard part.
HOW EXPENSIVE IS A CONVERSION TO USA STANDARDS?
You should expect an average emissions and safety conversion would run upwards of around $8000 although the cost can vary widely. You should also keep in mind you might be waiting 3 months or more to get the OK from the federal government or possibly longer. The vehicle may NOT be released until all of the work is done and approved. Remember though you may not require a conversion. Contact us and we will let you know.
IF I HAVE A CATALYTIC CONVERTER ON MY VEHICLE DOES THAT MEANS IT IS EPA APPROVED ?
No.
DOES MY VEHICLE NEED A CONVERSION ?
There are so many variables in that equation that there is no single easy answer in many cases those costly conversions may be avoided using one of the many exemptions that may apply to you and your vehicle. The only way to know for sure is to contact us and let us evaluate it. It costs you nothing for us to do the research and let you know.
WHAT DO YOUR SERVICES COST ?
