How It Works

From Japan’s Auctions & Private Sales to Your Canadian Driveway

We Make JDM Easy

Whether you’re buying a JDM vehicle off our lot or placing a special order from Japan, our process is simple, transparent, and built around trust.

Why Choose a JDM Vehicle?

Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) vehicles are known for exceptional quality, lower mileage, and unique features often unavailable in North America. Due to Japan’s rigorous inspection standards and strong public transit system, many JDM vehicles are lightly driven and well maintained.

🇨🇦 Canada allows the import of vehicles that are 15 years or older.
