Q What do I do if I am interested in a car or would like more information?
AOur friendly and professional staff are available to answer all questions by phone or email. Visit our Contact page for details.
Once you get in touch with us, a sales member of staff can run you through the whole process, explaining every part in detail, in addition to our terms of business and the making of payment.
back to topQ Where do you ship to and how do I arrange to Export a vehicle, and is this included in the sale price?
AWe can arrange for the whole process to be taken out of your hands. We can arrange forwarding to the port of your choice, with the shipping being by RORO (roll-on, roll-off), container or air freight according to requirements.
Please let us know where you would like to ship to, so that we can prepare a quote.
Q Could you help me to find a specific or new vehicle?
AYes, we can help with this process and even source new vehicles. Please let us know what you are looking for, so that we can help or quote you.
back to topQ How do I get the vehicle inspected?
AWe have our own in-house technicians who inspect all cars prior to delivery. However, if you would like an independent inspection, we can help with this process.
back to topQ What is the timescale in which I can expect to receive my vehicle or vehicles?
AOnce we receive part payment, a vessel to your requested country and port will be booked, with full payment being required before we forward to the port. Timescale will depend on your location, but we will be able to give you estimated times and schedules at this stage. We are based in Hertfordshire near London, a logistically ideal location in close proximity to all of the major ports.
back to topQ What paperwork will I receive for the vehicle, when will I receive it and can I see paperwork beforehand?
AYou will receive a UK registration document along with the bill of lading once the vehicle has been shipped from the port. If you requested any further information or an inspection, this will also be included with the paperwork. All documents are sent to you by recorded delivery after payment, with scanned documents able to be sent prior to this if required. Please ask a member of the staff and we will be more than happy to help.
back to topQ What does VAT qualifying mean?
AVAT is value added tax, with the term 'VAT qualifying' referring to the potential to claim back the VAT once the vehicle has been permanently exported outside the EU. Please note that this facility is not available to EU customers unless you have a VAT registration number, and that we do not offer tax advice - so please check beforehand with your local tax office.
back to topQ Are all cars VAT qualifying?
ANo, only certain used vehicles are invoiced as VAT qualifying.
back to topQ I am a diplomat, so do I have to pay VAT?
AThis means that you have the potential to claim the VAT back once the vehicle is permanently exported outside the EU. Please note that this facility is not available to EU customers, and that Turbocentre does not offer tax advice, so you are first urged to check with your local tax office.
back to topQ I need an inspection to meet the importation requirements of my country. Can you organise this?
AWe can arrange inspections prior to shipment. In most cases, these inspections carry an additional charge and this will be charged to you prior to the inspection being carried out. Please contact a member of staff to discuss the test that you require and the fee involved.
