Incredible service. so simple and easy. Pat was very helpful in getting me the car i wanted i couldn’t have asked for more. Will definitely be using your services again in the future if i find anything else i want to import!

Thanks again Pat and Marta!

Car came in immaculate condition and the whole process was amazing and smooth, always replied whenever there was something in need, would recommend 100% to anyone who is looking to import from Japan.

Recently had a brilliant experience importing a 7-seater family car with Patrick. He handled everything and we collected the car last week and are absolutely thrilled with it. Everything went smoothly and Patrick was very professional and straight forward to deal with, he gave me some great advice along the way. Buying from Japan is a bit of craic and if you're thinking about it and don't need the car urgently, I would definitely recommend giving it a shot!

Recently brought in a 2018 Toyota Crown through JDM Auction Watch and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to bring a car in from Japan.
I had many emails back and forward about different models available on the auctions and Ross was always great for getting back to me promptly with as much information as he could get.
The next car I buy I will definitely be coming back to Ross and the team as they made the whole process easy and stress free, from paying for and getting the car here, as well as bringing it for the VRT and getting a good quality set of plates made too.
A million thanks again Ross and team!

Want to be completely honest about my experience with Patrick from JDM Auction Watch. I contacted him about what I wanted and said I want a clean truck inside and out. I paid the bidding deposit and told him I was worried about bidding on something that had rust or had issues as I’ve no experience in this and didn’t fully understand the auction sheets - he assured me they wouldn’t put my bid through if it had anything bad. I thought great I can’t really go wrong here, and bid on what looked like a really clean one. Turns out the car had heavy corrosion (the front panel was rotten). They mistakenly put my bid through. I only noticed this when a couple of weeks later I got sent more pics and when I voiced my concern about it Patrick said it’s not bad - a polish and paint correction will sort it. Obviously that wasn’t true and the car needed major repairs done. When I collected the car he wasn’t anywhere to be seen just left the keys in it and said it’s ready for you. Obviously he didn’t wanted to be confronted about it face to face. He then offered to sell it for me which wasn’t an option as I would have lost a lot of money. Also offered to swap it for another one they had in stock (Not what I had wanted and worth less money). Patrick wasn’t willing to own up to his mistake and part with even a single penny of the money he made on it to help me out with the repairs. When you’re messaging/ringing him about making a purchase expect excellent communication but if you have an issue you can expect him to not return calls/texts. Please if you’re thinking of using JDM auction watch just be super careful. I know plenty of people have had good experiences but I got screwed over and left with a massive repair bill. The company that done repairs for me also found signs of poorly repaired crash damage which wasn’t on the auction sheet. There’s other decent services in Ireland for importing your car so maybe consider giving one of them a shot. If you do go with Patrick just double and triple check everything and keep in mind if sometime goes wrong you’re not going to get any actual help. See the pictures attached of what I thought I was getting vs what arrived. I’m sure he will reply to this review with some sort of bs but that doesn’t change the facts, I put my trust in his company, they failed and now I’m paying the price.
