Before a vehicle can be driven on public roads, it must meet strict legal requirements - and this is where homologation comes into play. We reliably guide you through this complex process and ensure that your vehicle can be registered nationally and internationally.
What is a homologation?
Homologation is the official confirmation that a vehicle meets all the technical, safety and environmental regulations of a country or market. Without this approval, registration is not possible - regardless of whether it is a one-off, an imported model or a series production.
Our retrofits are not only professional, but also TÜV-compliant and approval-proof. What often leads to rework with others, works with us straight away - watertight.
Whether Mustang, Ram or Cadillac - we know the peculiarities of American vehicles and know exactly what is needed for a successful conversion.
Missing parts? No problem. We'll take care of finding the right original or conversion components - directly from the USA or via our tried-and-tested networks.
Not only private customers, but also manufacturers and importers rely on our expertise - that speaks for the highest quality and trust in our work.
Our expertise knows no boundaries. Whether international dealers, collectors or enthusiasts - they all rely on our service.
From receipt to completion: our spacious, technically well-equipped facility ensures professional processes at the highest level.
For over 30 years, we have stood for quality with know-how, passion and continuity. Our customers feel this experience - in every project.

We are all about cars - especially US vehicles and classic cars. We have been operating as a family business in Stresemannstraße since 1993.
With over 30 years of experience and a well-coordinated team of master mechanics, we stand for quality, reliability and customized solutions.
Our employees are at the port every day to take delivery of new, used and vintage vehicles. All brands are refitted with the utmost care and repaired if necessary.
Your vehicle is also in good hands here.
Especially the fast communication by email and telephone has always given me the certainty that the car is in good hands.
Ordering the data sheet in advance was also a good tip, so that everything could be done quickly for the conversion and MOT. The documents were also sent by courier the next day.
And the boss personally attached the license plates to round off the collection.
Claudia gave me excellent advice and was super competent, helpful and ALWAYS friendly over a long period of time. I had two cars and a motorcycle converted and MOT'd after Auto Kalkofen collected the vehicles from the port. Everything went quickly and was within the cost estimate. I'm super happy with the service!
Super friendly and competent team! I imported my car from the USA to Germany, and it was rebuilt and TÜV certified here. All employees were always friendly, transparent, and answered all my questions immediately. The overall communication was great and the team took care of everything!
So I would give it at least 10 stars. No, quite honestly. Top cooperation. I had to hand in my Dodge for repair. Everything went more than great. I always had a contact person with time on the phone. Also the repair costs were not too high. Simply satisfied. Thank you Kalkofen company. For everything. My vehicle runs better than usual. Thanks for everything.
I had a new key programmed there and the rear lights of my Challenger 2015+ converted to eu indicators. Very competent and not even that expensive. Highly recommended!
We had our Subaru (US import) converted by the Kalkofen workshop in Bremerhaven, and the whole experience was simply great! Among other things, the team installed a rear fog light, took care of obtaining special permits and also carried out the TÜV approval directly.
Thanks to the excellent preparation, registering the car was child's play for us.
Kalkofen took over the conversion of my Subaru from North America. The service was exactly as expected. Everything went very smoothly. Communication with your staff was very clear and prompt. In particular, the service provided by Claudia and Thorsten was very attentive. I can only warmly recommend Kalkofen!
