Flat Fee Verification Service – $1,000 USD
Buying a kei vehicle remotely from Japan involves uncertainty.
Photos provided by sellers may not show the full picture.
Unexpected issues can result in costly mistakes.
Auto Labo provides independent on-site vehicle verification to help reduce this uncertainty before you send payment.
Our service focuses on documenting the actual condition of the vehicle through visual observation and detailed photo coverage.
This service is designed to support informed decision-making — not to replace mechanical inspection.

- Visual condition documentation
- 50–70 high-resolution photos
- Written factual observations
- VIN / identification confirmation
- Environment documentation
- Delivery of full documentation set
- Undercarriage documentation when accessible
- Cabin and load area documentation (for kei trucks / vans)

Why Verification Matters
A single undisclosed issue can cost far more than the verification fee.
Verification helps reduce risk — not eliminate it.
Independent documentation allows buyers to make decisions based on real conditions rather than assumptions.
Optional Export Coordination
Export coordination support is available after verification.
Pricing depends on vehicle value and logistics complexity.
Payment Terms
Verification services require advance payment.
Scheduling is confirmed after payment is received.
