F.A.Q.s

1) Q: I wish to buy a new American vehicle, can I view various models at your showrooms?

A: No, Specialist Shipping Services does not operate a car dealership. We are a specialist shipping company offering a personal service for the individual who wishes to (with our assistance, if required) purchase their own vehicle. We then remove all the hassle and stress by organising the transport, shipping, SVA or MOT tests, registration and delivery if required, thereby offering you a considerable saving by buying direct from the dealer at cost price.


2) Q: What advantages would there be in me buying a new vehicle from the US?

A: Well, plenty. Firstly nearly all American vehicles come standard with a considerably higher specification than comparable European models and can be purchased at a very preferential rate direct from the main dealer. Also, should you be considering a new truck as a company vehicle, you would surprised at the considerable tax advantages available to you. (This applies to most 4 door crew cab, or extended cab pickup trucks with the 1000kg payload, a requirement to qualify, however all single cab pickups qualify for tax benefits. Please contact us for further details.)



3) Q: I am thinking of buying a 60's/70's musclecar from a US dealer/private party, can you help?

A: Yes, we can liaise directly with the dealer/private party in securing your purchase at the best possible price. Through our years of unrivalled experience in these type of vehicles, we can offer advise on the authenticity and value of the car. We then make all the necessary arrangements to collect and ship to the UK.

7) Q: You have assisted me in my purchase, my car is now on it's way. What happens now with regard to customs, import taxes, collection from the docks, MOT, SVA test, registration etc.?
