Testimonials
From auction agency to export,
JAPAN CAR AUCTIONS
We are committed to a thorough customer-centric approach.
PROVIDE CARS
We do not personally inspect the cars we bid on in Japan car auctions. Instead, like every other step in the car purchasing and exporting process, we delegate this important task to a specialized company. They conduct the inspections on our behalf at the auctions.
