The Nissan Pao is a retro-styled 3-door hatchback from Nissan’s Pike Cars lineup, originally built for model years 1989–1991 with a 987cc engine and cute, boxy design. Its charm comes from the simple, lightweight packaging, canvas-top option, and unmistakable vintage look that made it a cult classic among Japanese car fans.

						Thanks to JCD and Mr Yoshi I got my 1996 type G Rav4. Process was smooth all the way. Got it delivered to Freeport, TX. They also recommended a broker which worked flawlessly. I will definitely will be looking to buy a second car soon. Thank you.

						I worked with Japan Car Direct to find and import a Honda Beat to the US. Mason helped me find a Beat at auction that I liked, and he gave some great insights about which vehicles might be worth pursuing and which ones to skip. For any listings I was interested in, Mason recorded a video translation of the auction sheet, pointing out anything worth noting. The Beat I eventually won needed new tires, and they helped find a set online that I was happy with, and got the tires changed at the port before the car was loaded onto the ship. Before the ship arrived at my local US port, they sent me all the paper documentation I needed to do the customs entry and get it titled+registered in my home state of Texas. For everything they handle and organize on the Japan side, they definitely earn their fee. Overall, I'm super happy with my experience with JCD, and I'm looking forward to making new memories with my new (to me) Beat!

						Absolutely brilliant professional service from these guys from beginning to end. This was our first time importing a vehicle and Mike was very responsive and patient in answering all our millions of questions. He went above and beyond to help us find our perfect van - everything from auction sheet translations, inspections and bidding strategy to contacting local dealers, sorting the shipping and paperwork and even arranging additional documentation for customs that we requested all within the fee. We couldn’t fault the service at all and wouldn’t go with any other agent. You can trust Mike and his team 100%. I’d go as far as to say the process was actually enjoyable - which says it all really! Thank you Mike and everyone at JCD!

						I imported my Toyota RAV4 Hybrid Adventure Off-Road Package II from Japan to the Turks and Caicos through Japan Car Direct, and the whole process was great from start to finish. I mostly dealt with Mike, who was super helpful and always quick to respond to my questions. Everyone else I communicated with at JCD was great too. The car showed up exactly as described and in excellent condition. If you’re thinking about importing something unique from Japan, I’d definitely recommend these guys.

						I recently imported a vehicle into Australia for the first time using the services of Japan Car Direct. My initial point of contact was Yoshiro, who demonstrated excellent professionalism and provided prompt, thorough responses to all of my inquiries.Following Yoshiro's departure, Mike Nguyen seamlessly assumed responsibility for the process. The transition was handled so efficiently that it felt entirely uninterrupted, reflecting the high level of coordination and service within the organization.Several months after the vehicle had arrived in Australia, I required additional documentation for the Department of Transport. I reached out to Mike Nguyen outside of standard business hours, and he responded promptly. The requested information was provided without delay on the next business day, which I found particularly commendable.Based on my experience, I can confidently recommend Japan Car Direct to anyone considering importing a vehicle. Their professionalism, reliability, and customer service were exemplary throughout the entire process.

						10 STARS if I could. Mike Nguyen and the group at Japan Car Direct couldn't have made it easier. It was my first time even trying to import a JDM car into Detroit. I looked at two other groups but Mike's group looked the best in the reviews so I went with him. We didn't go the auction route but bought from a dealer and he made it work. The car was inspected, photos sent and I took a leap of faith. I sent MILLIONS of Yen to someone I didn't do business with before. It all was flawless. Mike responded to every question, concern, etc. He introduced me to a broker in SC - Joe Hohenstein @ SavannahCustomsClearance.com and he was fantastic too. Then to pick it up in BALT, I had EVO Transport collect it at the port and bring it in. PERFECT. Honestly, use all 3 of these guys. You won't regret it.
