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.
  • More calm in the hectic days before you leave.
  • A contact who knows the requirements.

Your benefits

US Military PCS cleaning at AG Autopflege

  • We know the PCS standards

    We know the handover requirements and have a 100% success rate. You do not need to send us a checklist.

  • Planned around your drop-off

    We schedule the cleaning around your drop-off date so it fits into your moving timeline.

  • Hidden areas included

    A normal car wash barely reaches the underbody, wheel wells and engine bay. That is exactly where we focus.

  • Only 1 km from the inspection

    After cleaning, your vehicle stays with us. On inspection day you drive straight from us to the appointment. It does not get dirty on the way, is not left out in the rain overnight and never has to go home first.

    Amazing experience they took us and took care of our vehicle on very short notice for PCS orders. This is the perfect place to take your car so that way the people over at the base cannot say anything about your car. They will accept it. 100% top quality

    Performed a PCS auto-detailing. They did an outstanding job including buffing out a major scuff mark. Car passed inspection with flying colors. Have already recommended them to a colleague.
