Importing from Canada is our specialty

As the registered importer, we coordinate the pickup and transportation of those vehicles to our holding lots. Before and during transport, we generate and distribute all of the required documentation needed by Customs and Border Protection to import a vehicle. Once the vehicle arrives on our lot, we perform the necessary modification to make the vehicle compliant with the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) safety standards. This includes converting the instrument cluster from metric units to English units and ensuring the instrument cluster meets NHTSA safety standards. Once the vehicle is brought into conformity, paperwork for that vehicle is sent to the NHTSA which starts a 30-day hold period, after which the vehicle can be released to the customer.
