Kei trucks are one of the fastest-growing corners of the import world — cheap to run, endlessly useful, and genuinely fun. But the moment one needs service, owners hit a wall: most shops have never seen a 660cc mini truck and won't touch it, and parts feel impossible to find.
That's the gap we fill. We service, repair, and source parts for Japanese mini trucks and vans, and we understand the import side too — so your Hijet or Carry actually stays useful instead of stranded.

Kei trucks and vans we service
If it came out of Japan with a 660cc engine and a tiny footprint, we can help. That includes the Suzuki Carry, Daihatsu Hijet, Honda Acty, Subaru Sambar, and Mitsubishi Minicab — in pickup, dump, and van configurations — plus the oddballs that show up from time to time.
Parts and import know-how most shops lack
The two things that frustrate mini-truck owners most are finding a shop that will work on the truck and finding parts. We do both. We know where these components come from, what's interchangeable, and how to keep a 25-year-old import earning its keep instead of sitting in a driveway.
Titling, registration & on-road use in Virginia
Rules for imported mini trucks vary by state and even by locality, and they change. We'll get your truck mechanically ready and be honest with you about what it can and can't do on the road here — no overpromising, just straight answers and a truck that runs right.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which kei trucks and mini trucks do you service?+
All the common ones — Suzuki Carry, Daihatsu Hijet, Honda Acty, Subaru Sambar, and Mitsubishi Minicab — in both truck and van form. If it's a 660cc Japanese mini truck, we can work on it.
Can you help with Virginia titling, registration, or inspection?+
We can help you get the vehicle mechanically ready and point you in the right direction on the process. Titling and on-road rules for imported mini trucks vary by locality, so we'll be straight with you about what your truck can and can't do here.
Can you source parts for my Hijet or Carry?+
Yes. Parts are one of the biggest headaches of mini-truck ownership, and we help track down the JDM components these trucks need to stay on the road.
Do you service kei vans too, not just trucks?+
We do — Hijet, Every, Acty, and Sambar vans share the same drivetrains and quirks as the trucks, so they're right in our wheelhouse.
I'm importing a mini truck — can you go through it?+
Definitely. A fresh import benefits from a full going-over: fluids, brakes, timing, and a look at anything that suffered in storage or shipping. We're in Springfield, VA and serve Burke, Lorton, Newington, Kingstowne, Annandale and beyond.
