TWO WAYS TO EXPORT

Whole cars, parts —
or both.

Every car you win at auction is yours. Export it your way.

🚗 EXPORT WHOLE USED CARS

  • Buy at USS Hokuriku, JU Ishikawa & more
  • Export as-is — no dismantling needed
  • Container or RoRo shipping arranged
  • All export paperwork handled by us
  • Popular for Caribbean & RHD markets

🔧 DISMANTLE FOR PARTS

  • Dismantle at our licensed yard
  • Take every sellable part for yourself
  • Forklift, tools & workspace — free
  • Fill your own 20ft or 40ft container
  • We keep only the leftover scrap
MIX BOTH IN ONE TRIP Most of our buyers do both — load complete used cars AND dismantled parts into the same container to maximize the value of every cubic meter.
HOW IT WORKS

From auction to container
in 5 steps

STEP1

Contact us, place your deposit & get your invitation letter

Tell us your business and schedule on WhatsApp. After an advance deposit of JPY 1,000,000 — which becomes your car-buying credit at auction — we issue an official invitation letter and documents for your business visa application.

STEP2

Arrive in Kanazawa & move in for FREE

Stay in our on-site apartment at no cost — bed, shower, kitchen and Wi-Fi are all ready. Your workspace is right outside the door.

STEP3

Buy cars at Japanese auto auctions

Bid through our account at nearby auctions such as USS Hokuriku and JU Ishikawa. Thousands of cars every week — and we transport your cars from any auction in Ishikawa to our yard for FREE.

STEP4

Export whole — or dismantle at our yard

Keep cars complete for export, or dismantle them for parts. Forklift and tools are free, and our experienced staff are right there if you need a hand.

STEP5

Ship your cars & parts worldwide

Whole vehicles or parts — we arrange your 20ft/40ft container or RoRo shipping, plus all export paperwork (packing fee applies for container loading). We've done it for 100+ containers over 25+ years.

PLEASE NOTE

We hold no stock.
You build your own.

We are not a parts shop, so please don't ask "what do you have in stock?" — the answer is nothing, and that is exactly why our buyers profit.

🔨

Cars — from auction

The core of our model. You buy fresh cars at USS Hokuriku, JU Ishikawa and other auctions every week — cars nobody has picked parts from. Every part is yours.

🔧

Engines — from nearby yards

Need engines only? We can source them from neighboring yards on request — but check the secret below first. A whole car may cost you less.

📦

Small parts — on request

Tell us the small parts or goods you need and we arrange them wherever possible — including Japanese online shops. Just send us the links.

💡 THE SECRET MOST BUYERS DON'T KNOW

A whole auction car is often cheaper than buying the engine alone from a parts yard.

And with the whole car, that engine comes with a transmission, doors, suspension, wheels, harness — dozens of sellable parts from one car. That's why smart buyers fill their containers from auctions, not from parts shelves.

In many cases, a whole auction car costs 30–50% less than buying its engine alone — and the transmission, doors, suspension and wheels come with it for free.

*Varies by model and condition — ask us on WhatsApp and we'll show you live auction examples.

No picked-over inventory. No leftovers.
Fresh auction cars, chosen by you.

WHY IS IT FREE?

Simple. We keep
what you don't need.

No hidden fees, no tricks. Here is exactly how our business works — so you know we both win.

YOU TAKE — the valuable parts

  • Engines
  • Transmissions
  • Half-cuts & noses
  • Doors & body parts
  • Suspension
  • Wheels & tires
  • Interior parts
  • Anything you can sell

WE KEEP — the leftovers

  • Scrap steel
  • Aluminum
  • Wiring harnesses
  • Catalytic converters
  • Other scrap metals
  • Recyclable materials
What you actually pay An advance deposit of JPY 1,000,000 (used as your car-buying credit), the car prices at auction, and a packing fee for container loading. That's it. No bidding commission, no yard rent, no accommodation cost, no tool rental, and free car transport from any auction in Ishikawa. As a licensed recycler we monetize the scrap that has no value as parts — so the more you dismantle with us, the better for both of us.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What parts or cars do you have in stock?

None — we hold no parts or vehicle stock, and we are not a parts shop. Our model is different: you buy cars at Japanese auctions and dismantle them yourself, so every part goes to you. Engines can be sourced from neighboring yards, and small parts can be arranged on request, including from Japanese online shops.

Is the accommodation really free?

Yes. The on-site apartment — bed, shower, kitchen and Wi-Fi — is completely free while you work with us.

How do I pay for the cars?

Cars are purchased through our auction account. Payment terms are agreed individually before your visit — contact us on WhatsApp for details.

What are your fees?

You pay the car price at auction and a packing fee for container loading. There is no bidding commission, no yard rent, no accommodation cost, and transport from Ishikawa auctions to our yard is also free — we make our revenue from the leftover scrap materials after you take your parts.

Can I add items I bought online in Japan to my container?

Yes. Buy from Japanese marketplaces such as Yahoo! Auctions or Mercari, send us the product link, and have the items shipped to our yard — we will receive them and pack them into your container. If a seller doesn't work with overseas buyers, ask us and we will help with the purchase.

I only need engines — do I have to buy whole cars?

No — we can source engines from neighboring yards on request. But here is what most buyers don't know: a whole auction car is often cheaper than an engine alone, and it comes with dozens of other sellable parts. Ask us and we will show you the math for your case.

Why do you require a deposit before the invitation letter?

The advance deposit of JPY 1,000,000 keeps our yard, free accommodation and visa support reserved for serious buyers only. It is not a fee — it becomes your purchasing credit for cars at auction, so you lose nothing.

Can you really support my visa?

Yes. After your deposit is received, we issue an official invitation letter and supporting documents for your business visa application. Final approval is made by the Japanese embassy in your country, and we prepare the paperwork to give your application the best chance.

Which auctions can I buy from?

Nearby auctions such as USS Hokuriku and JU Ishikawa, through our account. Thousands of vehicles are auctioned every week.

Do you speak English?

Yes — contact us in English on WhatsApp and we will reply within 24 hours.
