PLUS, you will be sent picture(s) of your vehicle from inspection!
We will take picture(s) of your vehicle from Cardeal Check and send them to you.

* Availability of this service is dependent on the logistics at the port. We can not guarantee this service every time.
We also do Meter falsification check!
Among Japanese used cars that you want to import, there might be a vehicle with meter falsification(fake mileage). Also, some exporters intentionally do meter falsification while selling the vehicles.
During CardealPage Inspection, the mechanic will also check your car whether meter falsification has been done or not.
In case the mechanic finds out that meter has been falsified, we will inform you about it. (It will be limited to the cars with auction sale history in the past).
