Frequently Asked Questions

One of the main advantages is the lack of underside or body corrosion which can be especially important on cars which are 10-15 years old. We have seen even 5 year old UK cars suffer from extensive rust issues which can be difficult and expensive to resolve. JDM models also often have much higher specifications including items such as A/C, LSD’s or more powerful engine tunes. As a result of these factors JDM import tend to hold their value better than UK equivalents.

No, our prices include full UK preparation. This includes a full service with OE parts, timing belt change, MOT, MPH conversion, UK radio, underseal, machine polish and interior shampoo. As some customer do not wish for their car to be undersealed this is a no cost option that should be requested at time of purchase.

The simple answer is nothing! We take all the stress out of preparing and registering the car for the UK, all you have to do is fill in paperwork as normal to have the car registered in your name and drive it away.

Debit and credit card transactions will be subject to identity checks for security. Credit card payments will be subject to an additional 3% fee as set by our provider.
