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.)

Through our years of unrivalled experience in these type
of vehicles, we can offer advise on the authenticity and
