About 41% of our business is custom
orders. But, our custom order is very
different from the online brokers that you
find googling and details are below.
When you need or desire a certain
type of vehicle that isn't in our Canadian
inventory, you can write to us with the
following:
make, model, type of vehicle,
condition of the vehicle, mileage,
transmission type, options such as 2wd or
4wd etc. Once we get this info, we would
start our search. If we have it in
our inventory in Japan, we will send you
details if we don't, we would be sending
you information of vehicles we find on
daily basis. Pictures, grades, mileage and
general condition as well as result of our
inspection of the vehicle. If you think it
is the right vehicle, we would bid.
Your Safety Net:
Not all vehicles sold in Japan are problems
free. In fact, sometimes they are sold
precisely because there are issues that cost
too much for the owner to fix so they are
sold off. We have had experiences whereby
vehicles look all nice and shiny but there
is an underline issue that is hard to detect
through a quick inspection on the auction
floor or yard.
Therefore:
We do repairs, we do service and we sell it
to you with warranty. Furthermore once we
are done with it, you can have an
independent garage do a thorough inspection
on the vehicle before committing to it. If
your inspection finds any power train
related issues you get your refund in full.
Our service package would include the
following:
timing belt, water pump, radiator, fluids,
filters, seals, brakes etc. And, if we find
any issues through our inspection here, we
would do the necessary repairs.
We also do compliance, inspection and
registration in Canada
Vehicles that are 15 year or
older can be imported into Canada but they
are not completely exempt and would need to
be inspected by a registered facility.
Certain aspects of the vehicle would need to
be compliant such as Day Time Running Light,
DOT approved and certified windshield, DOT
approved and certified headlights, DOT tires
as well as window glasses. Vehicle must have
high mounted stop light, reflective lights
and other compliant related
modifications. 95% of vehicles in
japan do not have DOT headlights. About 35%
won't have DOT approved tires, We are
responsible for doing all of this (except
tires. If it comes with DOT tires we would
of course give it to you with those tires
and have it inspected but if not, buyer is
responsible for arranging tires for the
purpose of inspection). We would inspect the
vehicle through a registered garage,
register it in BC and when done, you can
have it insured in our office and drive it
home.
Most importantly, we do not take your down
payment of 30% until we have confirmed, that
we have acquired the vehicle. No importer
ever does that. Your do the down payment
only after we have informed you that the
vehicle you have agreed to after checking
the information we have sent to you is
purchased. Until then while we search, you
have total freedom of backing down and are
not stuck with us because you have a down
payment with us which gives you total
freedom.
