About us

How Japoto became a specialist in Japanese and Korean car parts

Japoto’s specialisation began as early as 1992, following a very practical agreement with a local car dismantling company. We agreed not to compete with each other unnecessarily and to focus on different markets: we on Japanese cars and parts, they on European makes. That decision marked the start of a specialisation that was steadily expanded in the years that followed. Later, Korean car brands were added to the mix, and Japoto continued to grow as a specialist in parts for Asian cars. What began as a clear regional agreement thus developed into the foundation of the company that Japoto is today.

Warranty on used and reconditioned parts

At Japoto, it’s all about one thing: ensuring you get the right part. That’s why we check the model, year of manufacture, chassis number and OEM number as thoroughly as possible. In doing so, we look beyond just the parts already listed in our online shop. A suitable part might, for example, still be available on a scrap car are registered there or elsewhere. Thanks to our specialisation in Japanese and Korean cars, we can carry out targeted searches and provide tailored advice. At the same time, we continue to improve our stock, product information and processes, and we actively monitor new developments in the market to assist customers more quickly and clearly.

Who are the people behind Japoto?

Japoto is a practical and down-to-earth company, embodying the Groningen ‘hands-on’ mentality. The team members themselves possess a wealth of knowledge and experience. The sales, dismantling, photography, import and logistics departments work closely together to process every part correctly and get it to our customers quickly. We value clear agreements and believe it is important that the work is simply done properly. At the same time, we are constantly looking for ways to make processes smarter, faster or easier. New systems and working methods are therefore embraced when they help us to work more effectively.
