Brian from B-Pro Auto JDM imports here. Happy to help anyone who is interested in importing from Japan. We have access to everything in Japan and ship all across Canada. We also have a competition price beat guarantee. cheers. Great video Bradyn.
I'd love to see more content from you. Don't give up! Is there an update on the car you can film, perhaps a review of it?
Awesome video! I would like to ask some further questions. Is there a way to connect?
Great video and very informative. Did your car come with daytime running lights? If not, did you have to install the day time running lights? Could you please share/list the things that the SGI inspected and the things that you needed to install/fix after getting the car to register it permanently? Thanks
I used jdm connection for my last and incoming vehicles. Very similar service and same price. His guy in Japan steered us away of one unit we were looking at with an engine issue that wasn't on the auction sheet. I love the standardized auction sheets in Japan and wished Canadian vehicles had the same sort of trustworthy information available.

That's the value of having a good importer. While the auction sheet is incredibly useful, there is still some level of risk. Nothing matches having someone who can see the car in person and let you know if there are issues.

@@BradynJDM Jason again, but signed in on my new channel account Videos like this one inspired me to start editing some content for gearhead syndrome. I came back to check on your subscriber count. Let's boost those numbers. Next JDM video I do I'll reference these videos of yours. You included so much of the same info I tell everyone when I end up trying to get them to buy JDM. Great job.

Did you end up going through beforward and how did that go?
Where can I find a document stating the ECE complaint headlights are allowed?
I'm a little confused about the pricing. When you want a vehicle, do you let the importer know how much you are willing to pay at the auction, then add all the shipping and regulation prices on to that? What would an estimate of the shipping and regulatory costs to get to the Port of Vancouver and through customs?
Mon site es pas comme le tien
how much for the shipping plz
What do you think about beforward ?

B-Pro sourced my Lexus through BeForward. Very satisfied with the condition. Would be comfortable ordering directly through BeForward without an importer.

I would still aim for auction grade 4 and above for BeForward units.
So how do you tell if the headlights are ece complaint?

There will be a circle E stamp on the headlights if they are ECE compliant. Basically an E with a circle round it.
