G20 Summit & Ministerial Meetings
We would like to bring to your kind notice that the G20 Summit & Ministerial Meetings are being held in Osaka city from June 27th(Thursday) to July 2nd (Tuesday).

During this period due to security measures there is going to be lot of restrictions on traffic movement (including around shipping ports). Due to restrictions on container movement and customs clearance, this will lead to some delays and cancellations.
Some of the highways may be closed and we envisage a serious delay in all yard and port related operations.
There are also limitations on shipping up to weeks either side of these 6 days.

As always, Get Cars Japan endeavors to do our best to ensure minimal inconvenience to our customers.

Thank you for your understanding.

Get Cars Japan, Ltd.

Dear Customers,

From April 28th until May 7th there is a holiday period in Japan known as Golden Week. Most auctions and shipping companies will be closed during this period and Get Cars Japan will be staffed by a skeleton crew so that we’ll be able to respond to urgent matters.

This year’s Golden Week is especially long because of the Coronation of the new Emperor.  Another effect this will have on auctions is the Japanese year structure.  Since the Japanese use the number of years the Emperor has been in his position to count years, the Heisei Era you may have become used to (current year is 31 = 2019) will end and the count will go back to zero from May.

The new era will be called Reiwa.  Years will be designated with R (just as Heisei years were H1 to H 31).

Please note that any auction listings during the 1st week of May will not be correct and will most likely appear the following week.

Most auctions will be back to full operation from May 8th.

We will do our best to keep up our fanatical customer support during the holiday period and your understanding if there are delays in our response time will be most appreciated.

Best wishes,

The Get Cars Team

On February 9th, 10th, and 11th the annual Osaka Auto Messe was held with several pavilions of show cars.  The Get Cars Japan team visited to inspect and share some of the highlights with our enthusiast customers.

Please check out our slide show here:  https://box.yahoo.co.jp/guest/slideshow?sid=box-l-z4xjdgomocxm4cnawytp3gkjie-1001&uniqid=6385a7b0-1cd5-442d-bd5b-9f05a3c4a2d5

 

Typhoon Jebi struck the Kansai region…rather roughly.

Unfortunately many vehicles have been damaged either by water or having other cars slide into them.
Get Cars Japan has staff checking our stock at the ports and the dock staff are also working on inventory damage report.  If you car has been subject to any form of damage, we will be sure to contact you as soon as the information is available.  We hope that there has been no serious damage to any vehicles belonging to our customers.

Get Cars Japan is very happy to announce the new look website and the new customer view in the account login.

Cars will be listed in order of auction date. Using the Search icon near the top left you are able to search your stock by auction, car name, port, ship name, etc. This is very useful for container shipping customers as you can isolate all items at a certain port and see what vehicles have not yet shipped (by finding units with no Ship Name yet entered).
Please enjoy the new system and let us know if you experience any difficulties or have suggestions for improvement.
Thank you.
