Why a site just for the Gulf
My Car Import brings cars into the UK from all over the world. But the Gulf is different enough to deserve its own corner. The paperwork changes from emirate to emirate, the cars are often ones the UK never had, and most of the people we help are in the middle of moving their whole lives home.
So this site talks about Salik and the Mulkiya, about Transfer of Residence and leaving before your visa is cancelled, in a way a general import site cannot. Behind it, every car is handled by the same people and the same processes as any other My Car Import car.
Why we do it ourselves
From over thirty years of importing, we know where things go wrong: at the handovers. A container left at a port, a customs agent who has never seen the car, a test booked weeks away at somewhere else entirely.
That is why we own those steps. It gives us direct control from the moment a container reaches us, and it gives you one team who always knows where your car is.
Under one roof
Everything an import needs, in one place.
Customs
HMRC CDS authorised entry agents, with skilled customs staff in-house.
Unloading
Containers unloaded at our own site, carefully and without a clock running.
Workshop
Lighting conversions and compliance work done by our own technicians.
Testing
The first privately owned IVA testing centre for passenger vehicles in the UK.
Registration
A dealer-level DVLA account, registering cars in around 10 working days.
Storage and delivery
Indoor and outdoor storage, and our own open and enclosed trailers.
People who like cars
We are a team of car enthusiasts, which helps more than you might think. It means the person unloading your Land Cruiser cares how it comes off the ramp, and the person converting your lights cares how it looks afterwards.
It also means you get straight answers. If a car is not worth bringing home, we will say so. If it is, we will tell you exactly what it needs.
