Why Imperial Motors

Trust isn't a slogan. It's seventy years of shipped cars.

Buying a vehicle from the other side of the world takes trust. Here's what ours is built on — and how to verify every claim.

70+ years in Japan

Founded in Kobe in 1954 and still run by the same family. We were exporting before most competitors existed — and we'll be here after.

Licensed dealer

Motor vehicle dealer permit No. 631210900027 from the Hyogo Prefectural Public Safety Commission. Buy from a registered company, not a middleman.

100,000+ vehicles a week

Members of Japan's major auto auctions. Whatever you need — sedan, SUV, van, truck, machinery — we find it at the right grade and price.

Inspected before it ships

Every unit is checked by our own mechanic. Pre-export inspection (JEVIC, QISJ, JAAI) arranged wherever your country requires it.

Fair, itemized pricing

One proforma invoice: vehicle, auction fee, inland transport, inspection, freight. No hidden margins, no surprises at the port.

Payment you can verify

Company bank and Wise accounts published on this site. We never take payment to personal accounts or change details by email.

Fast, documented shipping

RoRo or container on the next sailing. Bill of Lading, Export Certificate and invoice couriered by DHL before your vehicle arrives.

Small team, direct line

The person who quotes your car is the person who ships it. Multilingual staff, one WhatsApp number, replies within a business day.
