Conditions Apply

  • Travel visa’s limited to 2 persons per trip. When providing the visa documents, JAP Express must accept the role as guarantor. For this reason, a bond-deposit may be required which will be credited to your purchase or otherwise refunded at the time of your departure.

 

  • Drivers in Japan MUST hold a valid int’l drivers license

 

  • Accommodation restricted to JAP Express guests only and does not include daily meals. Offer is limited to 2 weeks per 40-ft container.  E.g. 30 cars per 40-ft, estimate cutting 3 cars per day = dismantle time of 10 - 12 days + 2 days for loading. Clients who do multiple containers will be offered accommodation at 14 days per 40-ft container. (E.g. 2 40ft container = 4 weeks accommodation) Hereafter, accommodation must be paid by you.

 

  • Cars can be sourced from our own stock or purchased directly from the car auctions. Vehicles brought into our yard from an outside source may be subject to a cut and load fee.

 

  • Re; Payment. All cars and parts must be paid for within 3 days of purchase. Containers will not be shipped nor will B/Ls be released without full payment. 

 

 

Depending on how you want your cars dismantled, we can usually fit 10 ~ 12 cars in a 20ft and in a 30 ~ 35 in a 40ft container. 

To minimize costs, we recommend bidding from auctions within the Kansai region which includes all surrounding prefectures within a 200kms radius of our Kyoto factory. Kyoto, Osaka, Kobe, Nara, Gifu, Hyogoken, Nagoya -- Over 50 million people live in Kansai so there is still plenty of cars to choose from.

We can also top up your container with engines & loose-parts from our network of suppliers.
