it ships.
Before a car leaves the UK for the USA, it is worth knowing what condition it is in and what, if anything, should be done first. Preparation and servicing is carried out by the Auto Factor workshop, agreed car by car.

Auto Factor Workshop.
Auto Factor Workshop is an independent vehicle workshop offering servicing, diagnostics, repairs and specialist Honda care. It works with everyday cars, performance vehicles and classics, with a focus on clear advice and work planned around the individual vehicle.
Your agreed pre-export preparation and servicing is carried out by the Auto Factor workshop before the vehicle leaves the UK for the USA. Honda Mania is owned and managed by Auto Factor Imports LLC.

Fluids and routine servicing
Oil, filters and other fluids may be considered, depending on the car, its history and how long it will sit in transit.
Known faults and wear
Inspection findings can be reviewed before export to agree necessary repairs and understand anything that will need attention after arrival.
Export readiness
Battery, tyre condition, fuel level and loading requirements can be reviewed as part of the agreed preparation for transport.
Agreed for your vehicle.
These are areas we can discuss, not universal inclusions. What is done depends on the individual car, its condition and what you agree with us. Servicing a car does not make it eligible for, or compliant with, US import requirements; eligibility, emissions, safety and titling are checked separately for each vehicle. This site is not legal or customs advice.
