Highly recommended

Steven is very knowledgeable and very friendly.No pushy sales. I couldn’t collect my car after purchase and Steven was very flexible and always available. I had a small issue with the car and Steven took care of it without any problem. I can only recommend Steven as he’s friendly and reliable

It's good place to buy scrap metal.


I bought a Japan import car from this company which is managed by a hobbbling Chinese. I am not discrimination in Gosport. I just alert people who buy car from this guy. Two weeks after that, the car had some problems. He told me it was easy to find any garage to fix the car easily. I access most of the garages, they don't know how to fix it. He introduced one garage for me. That garage made the problems more serious. It had broken down for several months. During this period, he provided courtesy car. When someone wanted to buy the courtesy car, he charged another car for me. All the courtesy car had defects which affect the car running. I responded the problem to him but he told me that the buyers of them said nothing on it. I asked him something about my car. I found that he dont know much of car technically. Finally, I got a garage know more about this Japan import car. He played some tricks on the ECU so that the car could work better but after that the car could be be driven without car key. I request him for refund. He told me that it is not his fault. He could only pay around 60% original price to get the car back. He told me he need to earn money. What I can suggest is that if you buy car from this company, u must have preparation for you should fix the car by yourself.

Such a great car buying experience!

Such a great car buying experience. Steven is a genuine guy and will give us support in the future too, very helpful with a Japanese imported vehicle. Very happy with our Nissan Cube and very reasonably priced. Would highly recommend Japan Autos.

Great buying experience

I was nervous about buying an imported car, but Steven made the process really easy. He was very patient with all of my questions and always answered them quickly and honestly - he clearly has a huge amount of knowledge about imported cars. The car was really well presented and he was happy for me to do a thorough test drive. I would definitely recommend Japan Autos.

Nissan quashquai

Bought a car from Steven. Excellent service. Clutch failed after only 2 weeks a risk with a second hand car, however Steven arranged for the repair and did it all at his own cost. I would highly recommend Steven, extremely honest and trustworthy.
