Shipping

We keep you updated at every stage, so you’re never left wondering about progress. From departure to delivery, our priority is ensuring the smoothest possible experience for you.

Yes—many of our customers request extra services such as full servicing, diagnostic checks, or modifications once their car arrives. These optional add-ons help ensure your vehicle is tailored to your needs and fully prepared for UK driving conditions.

Whether you want a simple MOT or a full health check with servicing, we customise our services to suit your requirements.

If we identify any issues during MOT or servicing, we provide a detailed report outlining the problem, potential solutions, and associated costs. Nothing is carried out without your approval.

Imported cars, even high-quality German models from Japan, may not automatically meet UK road safety and emissions standards. Differences such as speedometer readings, headlight alignment, or emissions systems often require adjustment.
By carrying out these checks, we ensure your car complies with UK regulations, passes its MOT, and is ready for safe and legal use without unexpected complications.

After arrival, we carry out a comprehensive inspection that covers everything from bodywork and tyres to engine diagnostics and fluid levels. Even though Japanese cars are usually well-kept, the shipping process itself can create wear or minor issues.
