We handle the complete vehicle export process from Japan — from sourcing and purchase through to international shipment. Each stage is structured and executed with clarity, transparency, and full control.
The full process is outlined below.

With access to 140+ auction houses across Japan, we source vehicles directly from the market based on your requirements.
- ■Real-time sourcing from auctions
- ■Additional access through dealer and private networks
Vehicle Selection
We carefully shortlist vehicles that match your exact requirements, ensuring only verified and suitable options are presented for your review.
- ■Selection based on condition, mileage, and price
- ■Supported by detailed photos and auction sheets
Auction Sheet Review
Each vehicle comes with an official inspection report called an auction sheet.
- ■Overall condition grade
- ■Verified mileage
- ■Exterior damage markings

We review the auction sheet, provide clear translations, and offer professional guidance so you fully understand the vehicle's condition.

After selecting your vehicle, we provide recent sales data to give you a clear view of current market values. A maximum bid is then agreed based on the vehicle's condition, mileage, auction grade, and market trends. This defines the highest price we will bid on your behalf, ensuring a strategic approach while protecting you from overpaying.
Your deposit is applied strictly toward your approved vehicle purchase. No action is taken without your confirmation.
Auction Bidding
Once your deposit is confirmed, we proceed with auction bidding on your behalf through Japan's auction network.
- ■All bids conducted within your pre-approved maximum
- ■Successful bid: vehicle secured, process moves forward
- ■Unsuccessful bid: sourcing continues in upcoming auctions
You remain fully informed throughout the bidding process.
