How it works

Six steps between
you and the car.

  1. Tell us what you want

    Chassis, colour, transmission, budget, condition. The more specific you are, the better the car we come back with.

  2. We search Japan

    We work the Japanese market to find cars matching your brief — not just whatever happens to be sitting on a lot near you.

  3. We verify the car

    Condition, history and grading are reviewed and translated before anything is committed. You see what we see.

  4. You approve

    Nothing moves without your sign-off. If the car isn't right, we keep looking.

  5. We handle the import

    Export documentation, shipping and arrival are coordinated for you. You are updated at each stage.

  6. Your JDM arrives

    The car lands, clears, and is prepared for handover — collection or delivery, your call.

Sourcing

Can’t find it?
We’ll find it
in Japan.

Japan has more to offer than whatever happens to be listed near you. Tell us what you’re looking for — chassis, specification, condition, budget — and we’ll go and look for it properly.

The more specific your brief, the better the car we come back with. “A clean, unmodified, manual example” gets a far better result than “something fast”.

Logistics

Japan
is only the
beginning.

Finding the car is the part people talk about. Getting it to you is the part that decides whether the experience was any good.

Nationwide delivery arranged on request.

  1. Export

    De-registration and export documentation are completed in Japan before the car is released for loading.

  2. Shipping

    The vehicle is booked onto a vessel bound for the United States and tracked through the crossing.

  3. Arrival

    On landing, the car moves through customs entry and release. We keep you updated through the process.

  4. Delivery

    Once released, the car is prepared for handover — collected in person or transported to you.

Why KWS

How we’d want
it done for us.

Better sourcing.

The right car is rarely the one already parked nearby. We look where the good ones actually are.

Clearer process.

You should know what stage your car is at, what it cost, and what happens next — without having to ask.

Cars worth waiting for.

We would rather tell you to wait for the right example than sell you a compromise today.

Questions

The ones
worth asking.

Vehicles at least 25 years old are exempt from US FMVSS and EPA conformity requirements, which is what makes importing a Japanese-market car practical. Eligibility is measured from the month of manufacture, not the model year — a common and expensive assumption to get wrong.
