PCS move: vehicle cleaning to the handover standards
When you PCS, your vehicle has to be thoroughly clean before it is shipped: inside, outside, underbody, wheel wells and engine bay, with no soil or plant debris. We know the US Military PCS handover standards and prepare your vehicle exactly to them. Book an appointment straight away, show us the vehicle on site or send photos for a price in advance, and then collect it ready for drop-off.
US Military PCS cleaning
When your move is getting closer and your vehicle is not ready for drop-off yet.
Between packing, out-processing and saying goodbye, there is hardly any time left. At the same time, your vehicle has to be clean inside, outside, underbody and engine bay by the appointment so it can be handed over for shipping.
- Soil, mud and plant debris on the underbody and in the wheel wells.
- Hardly any time between moving boxes, appointments and farewell visits.
- Uncertainty about whether the vehicle meets the requirements at drop-off.
- The worry of having to fix things at the last minute before you leave.

- A carefully prepared vehicle for the inspection at drop-off.
- Underbody, wheel wells and engine bay free of soil and plant debris.
