PERSONAL INSPECTIONS AT JAPANESE WHOLESALE VEHICLE AUCTIONS
Sometimes you might have questions about a vehicle that weren't fully answered by the initial inspection done by the auction house inspector.
In this case you can have an independent trained inspector do a further inspection of the vehicle and check individual points that you'd like further information on.

Personal inspection of vehicles is available at over 150 wholesale vehicle auction venues throughout all of Japan. This is how it works:
Costs for a personal inspection of the vehicle are generally between Y1,000 and Y2,000 per vehicle which is billed at actual cost. No extra TS Service fee applies. Organising and translating the results of personal inspections is included in our service.
- Request Translation. Request a translation of the inspectors comments of the auction house inspection sheet on the day before the vehicle goes to auction in Japan.
- Translation. We do the translation and enter it into your Bid Tracker.
- Request Personal Inspection. If you want further information let us know and if it isn't available from the inspection sheet we can request a personal inspection. This often needs to be done before close of businesses on the day before the vehicle goes to auction.
- Results of Personal Inspection. On the morning of the auction we get the results of the personal inspection and then enter the information into your Bid Tracker.
- Set Bid Limit. You let us know if you want to go ahead and give us your bid limit. We place the bid limit as usual, and later that day the result of the auction is available through your Bid Tracker.
