We're a Japan-based vehicle export broker connecting international dealers directly to the Japanese wholesale auction market.
Japan Auto Supply (JAS) is a vehicle sourcing and export brokerage based in Yokohama, Japan. We work with international car dealers — primarily across East Africa, Southeast Asia, and the Pacific — who want to source quality used vehicles directly from Japan's wholesale auction market.
Japan produces some of the world's best-maintained used vehicles. The domestic auction system is rigorous, transparent, and standardised. But accessing it from abroad — without trust, local knowledge, or the right connections — is difficult and often costly. We solve that problem.
We act as your eyes, ears, and hands on the ground in Japan. You tell us what you need. We find it, verify it, purchase it, and ship it — keeping you informed at every step.
The used vehicle export industry has a trust problem. Here's how we address it.
Not a reseller in a third country pretending to have Japan connections. Our team is based in Yokohama with direct auction access and the ability to inspect vehicles in person.
Every vehicle we export comes with a complete set of Japanese export documents. No shortcuts, no missing paperwork at customs.
We give you a total landed cost before you approve anything. Auction price, buyer's fee, freight — everything itemised. No surprise invoices.
Fluent English and Japanese team. No awkward translations or misread auction sheets. You get clear, accurate information.
We search and shortlist for free. You pay only when you've reviewed options and confirmed your selection.
Our relationship doesn't end when the vehicle leaves Japan. We provide tracking details and stay available until your vehicle clears port.
We primarily export to dealers in East Africa, West Africa, and the Pacific. If your market isn't listed, ask us — we ship worldwide.
If a vehicle has an issue, we tell you. If we can't find what you need in time, we say so. We'd rather lose a deal than damage your business.
Dealers work on tight timelines. You'll hear from us within a few hours and we'll tell you what we've found or how long the search will take.
Most of our clients have been with us for years, sending repeat orders. We're building a supply relationship you can rely on season after season.
