Of course this being the first time that I have ever done anything like this I had countless questions about the process and how it all works. Mathew from JCD could not have made this whole process any easier for me, I look forward to doing more business with them when I am ready for my next import car. the entire process was very trustworthy and completely transparent from the very beginning and I would recommend them to anyone 100%! read less

Buying a car sight unseen can be stressful - especially when that car is in another country, but they made it a comfortable, easy experience. 10/10 would import another vehicle with them in the future. read less

Besides Mathews outstanding work, the whole process was as smooth as it could have been. Mathew is super knowledgeable on exporting vehicles as well as what comes through the auction. You can rest easy when using JCD as your team for JDM exports. I will continue to use them as I may or may not have a problem with constantly wanting new cars....=D read less

He explained the process and helped me understand how to eliminate as many unknowns as possible. There were still some surprises but nothing unmanageable and definitely nothing JCD could have avoided. I very well may be a repeat customer! read less

He helped me to understand more about Sambars specifically and Kei trucks in general, as well as everything from bidding through shipping and customs clearance (though they do not provide that service per se). I cannot tell you how many questions he promptly answered about the process and about specific vehicles I considered purchasing.I highly recommend that anyone who wants to import a car from Japan work with Japan Car Direct. read less

And it turns out, that feeling I was scared of never came.Mathew at JCD is a gem, he helped me from my viewing days all the way to the end, translating and giving great advice on what the steps are, making everything crystal clear and easily digestible. All of my questions, and misunderstandings were dealt with with kindness and professionalism. Patience is a virtue that JCD (and from my experience Mathew) have in droves. Knowing how worried I was, Mathew's help was the reason I managed to stay sane through my first large purchase and my first vehicle import.Even up to the time when the car was out of Japan and en route to Canada, Mathew put me on to Al Thompson who was ALSO phenomenal to work with, he fought for me with the docks who have slowed down due to covid, and we got my Supra released in jig time!Thanks to Mathew, JCD, and Al for the phenomenal service, and I hope to work with you all again in the future! read less

Not only did I find the right vehicle using thier platform, they then helped with procuring upgraded wheels off the Yahoo Japan auction site, sourced some additional spare parts not readily available in Australia and organized for a preshipment service. Everything went smoothly and without a hitch. I would highly recommend anyone thinking of importing a vehicle from Japan should consider the service that they offer it is Blue Ribbon. read less
