Stock of Japanese Imports and Online Showroom
+ More
One of the primary services DCY Europe offers is a regularly-updated online showroom of imported Japanese vehicles. These cars are “fresh” imports, fully UK-registered, and ready for sale. They cover a wide variety of JDM marques, including Subaru, Suzuki, Nissan, Honda, Toyota, and Mazda. Each vehicle is displayed with full specification, so potential buyers can search by model, transmission type (manual, automatic, semi-auto), fuel type, and the usual price / condition filters. This lets customers browse what's available, assess condition, and compare before making contact.

Import and Sourcing (“Order Service”)
+ More
If DCY don't already have the exact car a buyer wants, one of their standout services is the Order Service. This allows customers to specify desired models, specifications, performance or condition, and DCY will source a vehicle that matches those criteria from Japan. This is especially useful for rare, performance, or older vehicles that are less common in UK stock. DCY Europe's decades of experience in importing and inspecting these vehicles gives confidence in the sourcing process.

Inspection, Preparation and Quality Assurance
+ More
DCY Europe emphasises that all vehicles undergo independent inspection, MOT where necessary, and a “PDi inspection” (pre-delivery inspection). They have a service/prep plan where needed to ensure vehicles are roadworthy and up to UK standards before handing them over. Every car imported is checked, prepared, and tested so customers receive reliable vehicles. The showroom cars are “fresh imports”, which suggests they have minimal time in port / transit and have been prepared carefully.

Part Exchange and Selling Your Car
+ More
Another service DCY Europe offers is part exchange. If a customer already owns a car, they can trade it in as part of the cost of acquiring one of DCY's imported vehicles. DCY also purchase well-maintained Japanese performance cars outright. They ask that cars offered for part exchange or sale are rust free and well maintained. The Sell Your Car? /Valuation Form? sections allow customers to get a quote / valuation from DCY. This makes it easier to upgrade or swap from an older JDM to something more current.

Customer Reviews and Reputation
+ More
DCY Europe place considerable emphasis on customer satisfaction. Their website features numerous testimonials from past buyers, often praising the honesty, communication, and quality of vehicles. These reviews help build trust, especially in a niche like imported Japanese cars where quality, authenticity, and condition are very important. For many customers, DCY's reputation and experience are key deciding factors.

Import-Related Support: Insurance, Transport, and Order Process
+ More
Apart from sourcing and selling, DCY Europe offer support services related to the import process. They have documentation and guidance (Info? section) about import insurance, which is vital for overseas-purchased vehicles. They also provide a step-by-step process (11 Easy Steps) to guide buyers through from choosing a car, arranging finance or payment, transport/shipping, compliance, registration, and delivery. This helps demystify the importation process. Transport, import clearance, and any necessary UK compliance work are part of what makes the service complete. Buyers know what to expect.

They maintain clearly published opening hours, contact numbers, email, and physical address so customers can visit, inspect in person, or make enquiries.
