The UK's leading car importers

If you are shipping a car from outside of Europe, we can offer collection from your address to our container loading warehouse.

If you are in need of transporting a car from Europe to the UK, we have a number of options to bring the car to the UK, depending on the level of service you require, or the necessary procedures needed after Brexit.

If you have a car already in the UK that needs to a collection service to our facility, we have both open and enclosed trailer options, that can be arranged on a date and time to suit your availability.

We can assist with the entire process of shipping your car through to loading it into a container to making sure it is unloaded safely at our facility in the UK.

During the process we offer marine insurance to cover your car in a total loss or significant damage scenario, and we deal with everything on your behalf.

We can customs clear your car in the UK, whether it is already here, arriving shortly, or we have organised your shipment.

We are fully authorised HMRC CDS entry agents, with skilled in-house customs staff to handle your import entry.

If you have shipped your car by container, it can also be unloaded by our team at our facility. This reduces port waiting times and we have direct control of the container directly from port.

We take great care when unloading car from containers, we are not driven by speed of unload like many port loading warehouses, and take as much time and care as needed to ensure your car comes out the container safely.

We conduct a wide array of modifications onsite to ensure your car is compliant with legislation.

There are numerous types of modification, depending on what your car is and where it us from.

Left hand drive cars will require modifications to the headlight pattern to avoid glare for oncoming traffic, the speedo to display the miles per hour reading and the rear fog light if it is not already universally compliant.

American market cars will require a full lighting conversion in order to comply to UK standards, this comprises of 8-10 hours of labour and parts taken from our extensive in-house supply.

Right hand drive cars will require less modifications usually, as many of their lighting functions are comparable to UK models. Your car may still require a speedometer change.

We offer in-house IVA, MSVA and MOT testing, a unique offering as we are the only privately owned IVA and MSVA testing site in the UK.

It means we decide our schedules for when your car gets tested, which dramatically reduces waiting times and means the car does not need to leave our site in order to be road registered. No other company in the UK can provide this.

We have a dealer level account with the DVLA, that allows us to register imported cars within 10 working days. We are specialists in every type of registration regardless of the age, type or style of registration.

We also have a wealth of knowledge regarding registrations for historic cars where additional paperwork may need to be sourced in order to complete the DVLA’s requirements.

If your car needs to be kept at My Car Import for longer than the process to import and register it, we have both outdoor and indoor storage options available. We ensure the car is kept charged and is ‘on the key’ ready for when you either collect or organise a delivery from us.

You are free to collect the car from our facility once registered and ready for you, alternatively we can offer both open and enclosed delivery options, to transport the car to a UK address of your choice.
