Q. I see both good and bad reviews. Should I be concerned?

We’re not always aware of the review sites you’re referring to, but just like on Amazon, most people don’t leave reviews even when they’re very satisfied. In fact, over 99% of our customers are happy with their vehicles. Many of them share their joy directly with us—sending photos and kind messages to their sales representative or our info team. These personal messages truly encourage our team. Let’s make this exciting project a success together.

For First-Time Buyers

Q. I’m worried because this is my first time importing a vehicle from overseas.
A.

Everyone starts as a first-time buyer—there’s no need to worry. If this is your first import, MITSUI CO.,LTD. is highly recommended. We provide careful, step-by-step support for every customer.

For Individuals and Dealers

Q. Do you have any arrangements with US car dealers, or do you only deal with the public?
A.

We work with both individual customers and car dealers. If you are a U.S. car dealer, we are happy to support your business needs. In fact, we offer a multi-unit discount for dealers purchasing multiple vehicles at once.

Whether you’re buying a single kei truck or looking to build your inventory, we’re here to assist you every step of the way.

Please let us know if you’d like more details on bulk purchasing or if there’s a specific vehicle lineup you’re interested in.

Speaking by Phone

Q. I’d like to speak with someone by phone. Is that possible?

We’re sorry, but our team is made up of Japanese staff who are not fluent in spoken English. However, we are very comfortable with reading and writing in English. If you already have a contact, feel free to email your representative directly. If this is your first time, please send an inquiry through our website. Our sales, shipping, or accounting team will always reply kindly and clearly by email.
