Inspection Service

Why is inspection so important?

When bidding on cars that are between 5 and 50 years old there may be hidden problems that were not picked up by the house when they graded the car.

Although the body/exterior of the car is inspected and the underside checked we are still limited to the 3-10 photos or in some cases 16 photos released by the seller and auction house.

Now imagine having the car checked over for 20-30 minutes with 80 photos and a few videos of the car. This would give you a much better overall feel of the condition of the car. Going off the grading alone on older cars isn't recommended.

We've seen Grade 4 B cars with severe rust on the underside and Grade R cars that are near perfect but had a new bumper due to underside damage caused by high curbs in service stations car parks.

Inspection really is the only way to guarantee better buying practices and to mitigate as much risk as possible; thus protecting your financial interests.

Where can JPN inspect?

We have inspectors at over 40 auction houses and key prefectures (Chūbu, Kantō , Kansai) so even dealer cars can now be inspected.
