Hey guys!

Michael and I picked up our cars at port three weeks ago now. We picked up the Jimny on Monday without issue and used it as primary transportation around Baltimore while I waited for the release of the Autozam. The Jimny went through registration without issue on Friday and the Autozam soon followed. We’ve put a bit over 700 miles on the Jimny so far and Michael is really happy with it as his work vehicle. He has even already broken a few things, just like a proper work vehicle! I finally got all of our cars together for a proper picture this past weekend. We’re both incredibly happy with our imports and I am still amazed by how simple the process was. I’d feel completely confident going through the process again, although I have run out of cars that I want! Thanks for helping us with our cars!

Mathew and Japan Car Direct (JCD) have delivered better than promised. From my first inquiry to final delivery of my first purchase, JCD was there to support me the whole time. The final cost of my first purchase was spot on with the estimate provided by Mathew the first time I contacted him. There were no hidden fees nor surprises. The support provided was better than I could have envisioned. Do not hesitate to contact Mathew / JCD for your next car purchase.

I have been working with JCD for several months now and they have helped me source and ship two containers full of kei trucks to Canada.

My interest in trucks brought be to Japan on my trip a series of unfortunate events left me stranded in Narita Airport. My phone was broken, lost my wallet with most of my money earlier that day in transit. After a long day of mishaps making my way to Chiba from Kyoto I finally arrived at Narita. To my surprise immigration recognized I unintentionally overstayed my visa by 1 day. Without enough money to pay the fine. I wasn’t allowed to board the plane. It was a Friday night so the Canadian embassy was closed for the weekend. I was left stranded at the airport with no phone or money, no one to contact. Then it hit me, Japan Car Direct is in Chiba. I was able to get access to the internet and get a hold of them through their websites chat box. They came to the airport lent me some money, and gave me a place to stay for the night. Thank you Scott, Noriko, and Matt for the support. You guys really saved my ass.

Just wanna say thanks for being awesome people! Couldn’t ask for a better group of people to do business with. It’s only been 6 months, but it has been a great 6 months! We really appreciate you guys doing a stand out job, and being the best at what you do. Thanks again so much!

We are going to be looking for another 3-4 cars this week, another civic hatchback, a gtst or gtr, and possibly a Silvia.

Scott,

Just wanted to let you know I picked up my Alto Works yesterday. I drew a crowd picking it up. I had people offering me $$ for the vehicle before I ever got in it! Went to get Gas and had to tell multiple people what it is. I did not expect such a reaction but I understand, this thing is tiny compared to American cars.

I had no issues driving it up the mountain. I am beyond surprised how quick it actually is. I had lowered my expectation as I have a few performance cars but this little thing ran away from the SUV I took down to pick it up.

Happy to report that the wife’s reaction was not what I expected. Instantly fell in love with it.

When I am ready to purchase another vehicle, should I just let you know and put down the deposit via PayPal again?

I appreciate your patience while I figured this all out. I really have nothing to complain about! Cheers!

Good morning, Scott and Mat,

I finally have the car in my possession! After a few failures with transport companies, I went down to the port and picked it up myself. The car was worth the wait and every penny; it’s a bit of an ugly duckling at the moment, but it will be as close to showroom condition as it can be once I am done with it. With that said, there were no surprises; thanks to you guys, I knew exactly what to expect, and I got exactly what I expected. It’s a 25-year old car, after all, and I had far more issues myself when I was 25. It is in great mechanical condition, though needs a good detailing and a polishing job, which I was well aware of and am happy to do. As promised, I will send some pictures your way once the car looks like it should.

I can’t thank you guys enough for being there every step of the way, answering all questions, and for being so prompt and on it since the day I signed up with JCD. I couldn’t be happier with the entire process and with the end result in particular. I love it!

Before long, we will do it all over again. I know I’ve said this before, but it’s worth repeating–it has been nothing but a pleasure doing business with you, and I will be sending you more links soon. You guys rock.

Thank you!

Hey Matt,

We’re happy to say that the import process was a success! We were miraculously able to drive 4.5 hours to Savannah, pick up the car, and drive back in one day.

Quinn and I just wanted to thank you and Scott for all your help over the last several months. Thanks for answering all our questions, even the stupid ones, it helped us feel confident, which is very important when buying a car based on a few blurry pictures from the other side of the world. The next car we import will definitely be through you guys.

Thanks for everything,

R.K. – US customer

Dear Scott & Matt,

This was a great buy indeed, and I can’t wait to get the car stateside. I will get on the funds transfer and will update you once it’s done.

Thank you once again for all the help leading up to my first purchase and for sending over the invoice with detailed instructions so promptly. Saying that it’s been a pleasure dealing with you guys would be an understatement.
