repairing.

|
| Do
I need any special type of software to use your website? |
|
We have developed our website to be as simple to use
as possible. All that is required is an internet connection
and a web browser(Internet Explorer 5+ is recommended)
to begin using our website. We do recommend a fast internet

auction service, it will make navigating through our
website faster and easier.

Yes, you can find current Japanese market prices among
previous results. When targeting vehicles we highly
recommend using the tool as a guide for estimating what
a particular vehicle may sell for, as you will then
be able to target your bids more accurately.
|
| What
time should I place my bids by? |
| Please ensure you place your bids by 8.30am
Japan time (11:30am NZ time, 11.30pm UK time) so that
our buying staff in Japan receive your bids in time. Late
bids may be accepted, however their is no guarantee your
bid will successfully go through because the vehicle may
have already passed through the auction. We also prefer
to inspect every vehicle to ensure quality. |
| Can
you help with sourcing a particular vehicle? |
| Yes, our staff attend many auction halls
all over Japan some of which not included in our online
auctions service. We can help you source specialist vehicles
and inspect the vehicle to ensure you receive the highest
quality. |
| Does
your online auction service provide vehicle compliance
checks for NZ? |
| NZ customers can take advantage of our advanced
online auction which filters out many of the vehicles
that would not comply in NZ. Vehicle compliance is checked
using the vehicle's abbreviated chassis number, and some
vehicles within this tender list may not comply in New
Zealand. Our buying staff in Japan will make a final inspection
of the vehicle before placing a bid at the auction hall
to ensure the vehicles chassis number will comply in NZ. |
