Customer reviews
What our UK customers say after taking delivery of their import.
The C8 Z06 they federalised for me was the smoothest IVA I've heard of — 6 weeks ahead of schedule. Shipping, registration, even my private plate transfer all sorted before I came to collect.

Have bought three cars through carbridge over the past four years. Their auction-sheet transparency is genuine and the workshop is meticulous. They are my first call when I want something special.

Solid experience overall. The 488 Pista was as advertised and the handover was very professional. Knocked off a star because the showroom was hard to find — sat-nav couldn't.

I had been searching for an unmolested Honda NSX Type R for two years. carbridge sourced one from Japan within four months and the inspection was meticulous. Car is exactly as described.

Bought my GR Yaris from them and the experience was effortless. Sales were knowledgeable, no pushy aftersales, and they handled my part-exchange fairly. Would buy from again.

Imported a Skyline GTR through carbridge. Process took 14 weeks from auction win to keys in hand — exactly as quoted. The team kept me updated at every stage and the car arrived in immaculate condition.

Why reviews matter when buying a Japanese import
Buying a JDM involves trust at every stage: auction grade interpretation, on-the-ground inspection, marine shipping, UK customs, IVA testing where needed, DVLA. You cannot easily verify any of that yourself from the UK. Real customer reviews are the most reliable signal of how an importer actually performs once the deposit is paid.
We moderate to remove spam, but we do not filter out negative feedback. If something went wrong on a customer's import, you will see it here along with how we resolved it.
