Both Andrew and Matthew were patient with me as I searched for my dream FD. They told me what to look for on the auction sheets and helped me spot some issues and let me know when to avoid a car.
Their experience in exportation is unmatched and transparent every step of the way. I will defiantly be coming back for my next import, their service can not be matched! read less

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

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 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
