Car From Japan - Kei Truck Importing Experience
I used Car From Japan last year to import my butter yellow Suzuki Carry truck, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From start to finish, the process was well-organized and the rep assigned to me (Mr. Ken) was quick to answer questions and proactive with guidance every step of the way.
The import process does take time, and I hit a few bumps getting the truck registered here in Florida (not uncommon with kei vehicles), but Mr. Ken provided everything I needed to get it sorted out. They clearly know the process well and understand the hurdles buyers might face on the US side.
The truck itself is everything I hoped for, and I'd highly recommend Car From Japan if you're looking to import a JDM vehicle. Just be patient with the timeline — good things take time, and these folks will be with you the whole way.
The service was great
The service was great, and Ken helped me every step of the way. Fast responses and proactive information. Getting my car was as easy as it could be! Thank you!
A platform that can be trusted
A platform that can be trusted. They have huge inventory of nice cars and their agents are responsive and helpful. I bought two Kei cars from them, all streamlined, satisfying experiences. Highly recommended!
Excellent communication and amazing car
The car arrived just as described and Mr. Ken provided excellent communication throughout the entire process, making it seamless. All of my questions were answered and the car arrived in no time.
Shady
Shady. I purchased a kei truck, they told me they can't find the original registration, so they can't sell it outside Japan. Okay, fine. They gave me three options to pick from. I picked one, then they told me it's sold. Okay, fine. I picked a 3rd option, now they're not even returning my phone calls or emails. I don't understand why they have so many high reviews. Horrible experience

Easy and seamless process to get my kei truck. Hardest part was the anticipation and the waiting game but besides that everything went smooth and I received the necessary paperwork to retrieve it from the port. Hope to import another vehicle in the future
Great Experience!
I had such a great experience purchasing from CarfromJapan! This was my first time purchasing and importing a vehicle, and they made it so easy! Paperwork arrived quickly, and I love my new car :)
Best import website ever.
My car arrived in wonderful condition, the ordering and payment process was super straight-forward, and the customer support was very helpful. I fill be using Car From Japan again when it comes time to import my next car.

The team at Car From Japan has been amazing to work with. They’re super responsive, professional, and really go above and beyond for their customers. What stood out most to me is that their support didn’t stop after the sale.They even helped us months later when we ran into issues registering our vehicles in Illinois.
Straight forward to deal with.
I was initially apprehensive about buying a car from abroad, but Cars From Japan made the whole process very easy and straightforward. Any questions I had were answered straight away. The price that was quoted was the price paid for delivery to Grimsby. I would deal with them again.
Great communication
Great communication, questions answered in a timely manner. Pictures were accurate. Somewhat smooth importing, definitely needed a broker on my end. My jimny is a head turner and fun to drive! Thank you!
1998 Honda Acty HA4 success!
I had a fantastic experience buying my 1998 Honda Acty! There were some things to learn but Ms Ami was a blessing to work with. Everything was easy and arrived on time. I only recommend that you visit sites like eezyimports after to figure out the import process. Look on Reddit for guides on what to do after buying.
Highly recommend this company!
Would recommend to anyone wanting to import
Austin was so helpful, he walked me through the entire car buying process step-by-step and made sure everything was in order from paperwork to shipping/delivery making the car buying experience easy and informative. Process took less time than expected and now I have my mini truck running just as described when I purchased it! Thank you Austin and the team at CFJ! Would recommend to anyone looking to import vehicles, it was easy and painless.
Great customer service.
I was hesitant to order a vehicle from another country, even though I was ordering from our friends in Japan. Cars from Japan made the process straight forward, and they kept informed the whole time. I'm now driving my little truck all over the place .

First time importing and it was a smooth experience. Austin was very responsive and answered all my questions promptly. He kept up with me through out the whole process until the car came on my driveway. Would import through CFJ again in the future!
