How My Garage works

Upload documents, submit car candidates, and watch your deal move from questionnaire to delivery. No email chains or complicated spreadsheets, no wondering what's happening.

The 10 steps

01. Start

Upload kick-off docs and book your car chat.

You see: A clear first step: residence card, license, and inkan photos, plus a required short car chat booking.

We do: We open your Garage, confirm the package, and wait for your kick-off uploads and chat booking.

02. Car chat

We hold a short call so we hunt the right car.

You see: Your booked time and a note that we're preparing from your questionnaire.

We do: We hold the car chat, lock priorities (budget, use, region), then mark the call complete.

03. Confirm docs

We confirm your scans (or ask for a clearer photo).

You see: Each kick-off document shows Pending → In review → Verified, with a plain note if something needs a re-shoot.

We do: OCR extracts fields; staff confirms against the image. No junk data goes to dealers.

04. Lock path

We lock kei vs ordinary and your parking path.

You see: A simple path banner: kei or ordinary, rent or own land — and what paperwork that means later.

We do: We set vehicle class and parking path so Garage only asks for the docs Japan actually needs.

05. Shortlist

We put 2–3 Looks good cars in Garage — you pick a favorite.

You see: Roomy car cards with photos. Tap My favorite (and optional Backup). Nothing is bought yet.

We do: We source a tight shortlist. We do not call dealers until you pick a favorite.

06. Dealer check

We call the dealer, add notes and photos — you go ahead or switch.

You see: Dealer notes, a one-line condition summary, and walkaround photos on your favorite card. Then Go ahead.

We do: We call the favorite dealer only, log check-in, and wait for your buy confirm.

07. Lock buy

Car locked. Hold and deposit with the dealer.

You see: Confirmation the car is locked. You pay the dealer directly when due — not through us.

We do: We place the hold/deposit notes with the dealer and start the pack path.

08. Pack

We ship the pack; you mail originals and mark paid/mailed.

You see: Pack shipped notice, dealer pay amount + due date, and simple buttons: I paid / I mailed.

We do: We fill JP forms, mark stamp spots, ship the pack, and track client pay + mail.

09. Paper chase

Remaining path paperwork only (City Hall / parking / police as needed).

You see: One next upload at a time, grouped by trip — never a random form pile.

We do: We chase remaining path docs and keep the dealer paperwork moving in parallel.

10. Handover

Insurance, delivery day, keys.

You see: Target date and a short warm handover message when ready.

We do: We line up pickup/delivery and close the deal cleanly.

Document Tracking

Upload the paperwork — we handle the rest.

After you upload, our system extracts the key fields automatically and our team reviews them before they affect your deal.
