About CarStrike
Redefining the JDM import experience.
We built CarStrike to strip away hidden fees, cut out the middlemen and make importing a Japanese vehicle risk-free for Australian buyers.
CarStrike is a Brisbane used-car dealer and Japanese import specialist, based at 232/A Old Cleveland Road, Coorparoo. We sell quality used cars and import vehicles directly from Japan's auctions, from family people movers and hybrids to JDM performance cars.
Every import starts with a translated auction sheet and a clear landed-cost estimate, and we look after compliance and Queensland registration so you don't have to. Finance options are available and we deliver Australia-wide.
Browse our stock online, check this week's Japanese auctions, or ask K.I.T.T., our AI assistant, anything at any time. Visit the Coorparoo yard or get in touch today.
Driven by enthusiasts.
CarStrike was born out of frustration with the traditional Australian import market. For too long, buyers dealt with opaque pricing, unreliable brokers and the prospect of carrying all the mechanical risk once a car landed.
We set out to change that. Whether you want a sought-after performance icon, a specialised hybrid or a practical daily driver, we handle the entire pipeline. We don't just act as brokers — we act as your partners.
The CarStrike guarantee
- 100% risk absorptionIf there is a hidden mechanical failure or a dead hybrid battery on arrival, we take the financial hit, not you.
- Wholesale pricingWe cut overheads and source directly, and pass the savings on to your driveway.
- Radical transparencyNo radio silence: we keep you updated at every step by email, SMS and WhatsApp, so you always know where your car is.
Our Japanese staging yards
We don't buy cars blindly online. We have people on the ground and a network of yards across Japan.
Local physical inspections
Before a vehicle is approved for export it comes to our yards, where our local team inspects it to verify the auction sheet.
Pre-export preparation
Our yards store, clean and prepare your vehicle; deregistration paperwork and export certificates are handled on site.
Direct port access
Our yards connect to Japan's major roll-on/roll-off (RoRo) shipping networks, so your car boards the vessel quickly and securely.
