tokyo euro

Over 26 years inspecting, buying and exporting thousands of vehicles from here in Japan! 

Tokyo Euro isn’t a large corporation—it’s me, Kevin Dobbs, and the personal vehicle buying service I’ve built here in Tokyo, Japan.

Chances are you haven't heard of me before, so the main purpose of this website is to introduce myself and the services that I offer private individuals in addition to my dealer clients.

I first started in the automotive industry as long ago as 1992 in my home country of New Zealand. If you are not a New Zealander, you may not be aware that despite its small population it is one of the largest importers of used vehicles from Japan. In those years I would advance up to various roles that included retail sales, finance manager and sales manager.

In the year 2000 I moved into the role of vehicle buyer for one of New Zealand's largest car importers, who at the time supplied vehicles to dealers right throughout New Zealand. This was certainly a fast-paced occupation, where I was making up to 12 buying trips to Japan every year and covering massive car auctions in cities right across the country.

Late in 2002, I took the bold step of moving out on my own and operating as a sole trader for dealer clients. Determined to succeed, my two week trips now became much longer and by early 2003 I had moved permanently to Tokyo where I have remained ever since.

Over the years I have personally purchased thousands of Japanese and European vehicles. While exports to New Zealand remain a significant part of my business, I have also built long-term relationships with clients throughout many other countries. Premium condition vehicles have been exported across Europe, North America, the Gulf States, Australia and many islands in the South Pacific.

While this is obviously a website about buying cars in Japan, it is important I point out that using my services would not be like buying a vehicle through a couple of mouse clicks on the internet (and all the risks that could come with that). You are tapping into my knowledge and experience, and benefiting from my hands-on approach to finding the right vehicle for you here in Japan. I'll be doing my very best to spend your money carefully. During the process you can expect honest advice, clear communication, and professional service from start to finish.

Tokyo Euro is my way of offering a personal buying service for anyone considering importing a vehicle privately to their own country. I also offer a professional and friendly service to residents of Japan for both buying and selling their vehicles. 

I have been fortunate to gain a huge amount of experience, knowledge, and contacts in the automotive industry here in Tokyo and I am only too happy to help anyone that could benefit from my services. 

Please feel free to contact me to learn more about how I may be able to assist you with a vehicle purchase.
