Turnkey car service for expats: sourcing, TÜV preparation, registration and delivery — drive legally from the moment you arrive.
We handle the local work so you don’t have to: professional inspections, technical preparation for TÜV, official registration and secure delivery. Arrive, collect the keys, drive away.
Who needs our services?
Our services are for people who value time, certainty and a smooth arrival on German roads.
- Expats and relocating professionals — want a car ready on arrival without waiting for local registration.
- Remote buyers — found a car online but cannot inspect it in person.
- Owners of non‑EU imports (US, Japan, etc.) — need technical conversions and §21 approval.
- Companies and professional buyers — need dealer‑level access to auctions and transparent brokerage.
How we do it
We break the complex process into clear, accountable steps and perform the local tasks that require presence and expertise.
- Local execution — on‑site inspections, 4K video reports, VIN checks and test drives; every step documented with photos and video.
- Technical readiness — coordination with certified workshops for conversions, emissions data collection and TÜV preparation; we manage the §21 homologation process when needed.
- Administrative finish — insurance setup (eVB), registration via an authorized representative, plates and delivery; you receive the car with a full legal package.

- Client cases (short):
- Ferrari California T (2017) — TÜV coordination and export plates for cross‑border sale
A 2017 Ferrari California T imported from South Korea required technical verification and export‑ready documentation. ExImWheels coordinated the TÜV process and arranged German export plates, enabling the client to legally move and present the vehicle for sale. The car was later successfully sold at auction to a buyer in France, with all cross‑border steps completed smoothly by the client using the documentation we prepared. - Volvo S60 — local homologation and final registration
A customer from a neighbouring state imported a Volvo S60 and completed customs clearance but lacked time to finish homologation and registration. ExImWheels coordinated the technical conversions, TÜV approval and administrative steps; the vehicle was successfully registered on German plates and handed over to the owner fully legal and insured.
