How it works

Auction to Annacis Island.

Your car is sourced at Japanese auction, inspected before we bid, and shipped roll on roll off across the Pacific. Vessels arrive at Vancouver area ports, commonly Annacis Island, or the Port of Nanaimo. We clear CBSA customs, coordinate port release, and either hand you the keys at port or arrange delivery. Standard is port pickup, with tow and delivery coordination available as extras. Premium includes local delivery within Vancouver; Island ferry/inland is as confirmed in the Premium agreement.

Typical timeline is 8 to 14 weeks from auction win to keys in hand. Read the full week by week timeline or the import process for details.
