Modifying American cars & vans to suit British roads

The FastFit Centre can make any modifications needed to ensure your American car is safe and legal on British roads. UK law is different to USA laws and therefore there are different requirements for road uses in the North West and indeed the UK.

American vehicles are required to have certain modifications when imported to ensure they are roadworthy under UK law. They undergo an annual test similar to an MOT that checks components such as lights, tyres, number plates and speedometers. The FastFit Centre can adapt your American vehicle to UK road use.

These tests are often very thorough and if your American vehicle is not ready it could end up being very costly. We can check your American vehicle and make all the necessary modifications and changes needed to make it legal on British roads, ensuring it is ready to past the test.

American vehicle Air conditioning service

Many American vehicles, especially older ones, have unreliable air-conditioning systems. So it is a good idea to have it regularly serviced to make sure the system is working properly.

It is recommended that vehicles have their air conditioning systems serviced every two years to ensure they work as efficiently as possible. The efficiency of an air conditioning system is dependent on its ability to dissipate heat, but the components responsible for this are prone to corrosion and damage.

Due to the harmful gasses used in a vehicle air conditioning system, technicians that work on these must be ‘F-gas certified’. At The FastFit Centre, all of our technicians are Air-con accredited and therefore fully qualified to work on air conditioning systems. We will test your system to ensure it is working as well as it could and repair or replace anything that is needed.

Wheel alignment and tyres for American cars and vans

American vehicles often have a very different wheelbase to most European vehicles and as a result, need specialist equipment to alter. Our service centre has fitted specialist workshop equipment that allows us to accurately measure and adjust the steering and wheel alignment of almost all American cars and vehicles.

Tyre fitting for American cars and vans

Tyres do wear out over time, especially if your tyres aren’t suited for the roads you’re driving on. The road conditions in the UK are vastly different from those in America and as a result, your American vehicle may have unsuitable tyres fitted. We can advise you on what tyres are best suited for your vehicle, to ensure safety and longevity. We hold a large number of tyres suitable for American vehicles in our North West tyre bay. We also offer tyres for home delivery across the UK.

Gearbox and servicing for American vehicles

Gearboxes need to be properly maintained to make sure they are working as smoothly and efficiently as possible. We can maintain, service, and replace both automatic and manual gearboxes from American vehicles.

If your American car or van has an automatic gearbox it is recommended that you get a gearbox service at least once every 15 months. Manual gearboxes can last longer without a service, however, if you start noticing gearbox faults you should get it checked immediately.

You should get your gearbox checked if you notice any of the following

The gear stick is hard to move when changing gear
The gearbox sounds noisy when changing gear
The gearbox is leaking lubricant
The gearbox is noisy when the car is in neutral

Towing with an American vehicle

American vehicles are very different to most vehicles on the European roads and although all cars are affected by towing a trailer, American cars are affected more so.

Towing something significantly affects the handling and braking ability of a vehicle making it unsafe, hard to drive and in some cases illegal. Atlantic Autos can advise you on changes that need to be made to your vehicle to make it safe and legal to tow, and then carry out the necessary modifications at a competitive price.

Fifth wheel hitch assembly

We will often advise that a fifth wheel hitch is used instead of a conventional tow bar and that an electronic brake system is fitted to the trailer. The fifth-wheel hitch will improve the handling of your vehicle by securely locking the trailer into place to stop it from swaying. The electronic brake system will apply brakes to the trailer at the same time as you brake in your vehicle, reducing the stress on your brakes. This also greatly decreases the chance of brake failure or jack-knifing.
