The Name of Trust: exporting from Japan since 2004

NS Japan Auto began in 2004 with a single unit shipped to Mombasa and a simple frustration: buyers overseas were quoted one price in an advert and a different price once freight was added. After 22 years, more than 200,000 cars sold and 50,000 clients, that is still the problem we build around.

We buy at Japanese auction and from domestic trade-ins, inspect every unit at our yard, and photograph it as it actually is. When you ask about a car we send you its landed cost at your port: FOB, ocean freight, marine insurance and any pre-shipment inspection your country requires, in one figure.

We also arrange used spare parts on order: engines, gearboxes, half cuts and every other part, found in Japan for your vehicle once an advance payment confirms the order, then packed with care and shipped by container. There is no parts stock and no price list; every request gets its own quote. Spare parts on order.

We ship all over the world, with regular routes to East and Southern Africa, South Asia, the Caribbean, Oceania and Europe. We know which routes have age limits, which customs authorities are strict about inspection certificates, and which ports will hold a vehicle for a missing document. That knowledge is worth more to you than a slightly cheaper freight rate.

We are not the largest exporter in Japan and we do not try to be. We are small enough that the person who answers your WhatsApp message is the person who inspected your car.
