Whether you are a trade buyer looking for affordable, high quality used cars or a once off buyer looking for that classic you have always promised yourself our expert team can offer an import service to suit your needs.

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!

A flawless 5-star experience and then some! The team here is simply brilliant—professional, reliable, and an absolute pleasure to deal with. I purchased a vintage Land Cruiser that they sourced, and Patrick and his team went above and beyond at every stage, handling everything seamlessly from start to finish. I also opted for a detailing service as an add-on, and I highly recommend it—the results were nothing short of outstanding. I couldn’t be happier with the vehicle, the service, and the overall experience. Fantastic team to work with—I’ll definitely be back!

Recently acquired my new car sourced by JDM auction watch, Excellent experience from start to finish. It was a pleasure dealing with Paddy, he made the whole thing easy. Was nice to meet him and his lovely wife. See you in a year or 2 for an upgrade.

5 stars! Can't recommend them enough. Amazing service. Got the car VRTd today and all the comments provided by JDMAuctionWatch were perfect made the process so simple. Patrick was great and super pleased with my car! Recommend to anyone looking at importing from Japan they were super attentive and really helpful even when importing a more common vehicle! 5/5

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.
