Bidding staff …

Shinji joined us this year and has a role of bidding on cars for you as well as arranging the transportation of those vehicles to the various ports and yards around the country.  Shinji enjoys his work at Provide Cars as it is low pressure and allows him more time to spend with his family than when he worked for Toyota.

When he is not working …

When Shinji is not working and the weather is good he likes to go motorbike travelling around the country, especially the Japanese west coast.  It is beautiful over there.  He uses his Honda Hornet, a bike like this one
