Zen Import Process
Zen Autoworks does not take your import lightly .....

Zen Autoworks has been working closely with our Japan buyer for over 5 years. As we have extremely high standards for the vehicles we import, we simply will not purchased from just anyone in Japan. A working and proven long term relationship with our buyer allows us to confidently assure you of quality and a "no surprise" import process. Our strong Japan/Canada relationship becomes part of your import contract and works for you both before and after your vehicle has been imported into Canada.

Many importers in Canada will put emphasis on the fact that they WILL find what you are looking for. Yes, it is not hard to find and purchase just about any specific vehicle to fill an order, but finding a proper accident free, clean, original 15 year old vehicle is not a simple task even for the more common makes and models.

When using Zen as your import agent:

  • Your vehicle is fully insured from point of sale to your location. Insurance including total loss, damage AND theft is included. This is not cheap insurance but for a trip of this duration and distance, we feel it is necessary.
  • Your vehicle is professionally loaded by specialists and secured inside a container in Japan. Having specialists load the containers is more expensive than having your broker do it themselves but vehicles are loaded and secured properly making the unloading process in Canada much safer to the condition of your vehicle.
    

The above photos are of actual Zen purchased units loaded to containers in Japan.

Notice the steel beams used for support. Short-cuts are not taken when the condition and safe transportation of Zen supplied vehicles are at stake.

Container shipping means no yard crews drive your vehicle at the ports and essentially eliminates vandalism / theft occurrence. We can ship anywhere in Canada and use semi enclosed truck transport where practical. Rail transport is not recommended. Rail yard crews tend to be of younger age and supervision is not always maintained. Many vehicles our customers order are extremely unique and we take pride in minimizing the potential for mechanical or cosmetic damage.
