Provide Cars - Japan Car Auction
We have been operating as a used car auction agency and export company since 1997.
We specialize in exports to Europe and always prioritize customer satisfaction in our services.
For shipments to Ireland, we can obtain official documents from public institutions such as the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) regarding CO2 emissions to help reduce automobile tariffs (some vehicles may not be eligible).
Our standard services include auction bidding on behalf of customers, domestic transportation arrangements, vehicle deregistration, shipping arrangements, and customs clearance.

Q&A
What are the disadvantages of buying through the auctions?
You have a limited period of time to view the car, request the translation of the auction sheet, and make a decision whether to bid and how much to bid. It feels rushed and it is rushed, but you will get used to it.
What is the process after purchase?
After purchase, we arrange all of the other details related to exporting. Your job was to make the bid price decision based on the kms and condition and market price of the vehicle. If you are purchasing more than one vehicle you will have a choice of RoRo shipping or container shipping.
Emissions CO₂ and NO₂ data, is it available for my car?
Where possible and available, we will find the relevant data for vehicles you have purchased. We have a lot of experience and know which vehicles do NOT have this data to warn you before purchase.
Transit time, how long does it take for my car to arrive?
From the time of purchase to arrival in Dublin, you are looking at around 2 and a half months.
First steps to take in the process
The first step to take is to sign up so you can have a look inside the auctions yourself. That means getting access to view what cars are on sale each day. Research the selling prices and do your own calculations.
