Bodywork & paint
Panel gaps, paint depth check, evidence of prior repair, stone chips and clear coat condition.
Inspection, auction sheet review, photos, video walkarounds and third-party reports — so buying a car from Japan is never a guess.
Japanese auction inspectors are trained professionals, but the sheet is a summary, not a report. Small marks in the diagram, notes about repairs, or details about mileage require someone who can read Japanese and knows what to look for.
A pre-purchase inspection turns that summary into a clear go/no-go recommendation — protecting your budget, your timeline and your reputation as a buyer or reseller.
Everything a buyer would look at in person — documented, photographed and explained.
Panel gaps, paint depth check, evidence of prior repair, stone chips and clear coat condition.

Frame integrity, rust check, suspension bushings, brake wear, exhaust condition, oil leaks.
Engine bay visual, cold start behavior, fluid condition, obvious leaks, transmission smoothness.
High-resolution photos of every panel plus a walkaround video with commentary on notable findings.
Auction sheet translation, service history if available, mileage verification and any prior repair notes.
