Jim Autos Thailand is Thailand’s largest exporter of brand new 4×4 vehicles, spare parts and accessories while its sister company Jim 4×4 Thailand is Thailand’s largest exporter of nearly new and second-hand 4×4 vehicles.

We are not just Thailand’s largest 4×4 dealer and 4×4 exporter but also Dubai’s largest 4×4 dealer, 4×4 importer and 4×4 exporter. In Singapore we are not just involved with 4x4s but also large trucks. When it comes to Thailand’s largest selling 4×4 pickup Toyota Vigo, we export new, nearly new and quality second-hand Single Cab Toyota Vigo in 4×2, and Extra Cab Toyota Hilux Vigo and Double Cab Toyota Hilux Vigo in 4×2 and 4×4 configurations.

Once Mitsubishi L200 Triton was our second largest selling pickup after Toyota Vigo but no longer, Nissan Navara’s and Ford Ranger’s strong demand has knocked it from its second place.

Asia’s First Family of Auto Industry

We are Asia’s First Family of Automotive Industry and history of automotive industry in Asia is incomplete without an honorable mention of our Patriarch M. A. Quraishi. He was the first non-Japanese Asian to import his own automobile in 1905 and he made history again when he started Asia’s first automobile dealership in 1911. Since 1911, four generations of Quraishi family have been involved in the automotive industry for the past 104 years and beyond.

Because of our extensive automotive experience, impeccable integrity, unparalleled pre- and post-sales customer service, top selection and wide-ranging established relationships in the automotive industry, we have emerged as not only the oldest but also the largest exporter of automobiles in Thailand and a Jewel in our parent company Jim ‘s Crown, which in its own right is Asia’s leading automobile exporter. Our new vehicles are top-notch and our pre-owned vehicles are all hand picked and are the best value in town. Due to our immense financial clout, long-standing purchasing relationships and huge customer-base, we are able to maintain a stock even in times of severe shortage and are therefore able to deliver the vehicles in the shortest possible time while keeping our prices lowest in the market thanks to the economy of scale and low profit margins. We sell not only Toyota Hilux Revo, Toyota Hilux Vigo, Mitsubishi Triton, Toyota Fortuner and Nissan Navara but also Ford Ranger, Chevrolet Colorado, Isuzu Dmax, Isuzu MU-7, Honda CR-V, Mazda Bt-50, Toyota Avanza, and a range of quality Thailand assembled Japanese and American vehicles including heavy-duty trucks as Mitsubishi Fuso as well as Honda, Suzuki motorbikes.

We receive import inquiries from all corners of the globe to fulfill their automotive requirements from unique Japanese quality cars made in Thailand under Japanese management and Japanese quality standards.  We welcome your inquiry as well! We are currently exporting to six continents of the world all Thailand made Japanese and American cars, pickups and SUVs. We are also exporting genuine and non-genuine spare parts and accessories.

At Jim, not only do we have the facilities and the ability to import vehicles and parts into Thailand, but we can also export vehicles and parts to just about any country in the world and indeed have done so with great success over the past few years.

Full Service Exporter

We are a full-service exporter. We can arrange the purchase, importing/exporting, Thai customs and arrange all taxes and duties involved in the purchase of your vehicle or parts for your vehicle. We have our own packing facilities in Bangkok, so not only is our delivery process quicker and easier, you can also be assured that every aspect of the delivery is handled by us, and not a “third party” freight forwarder, who is not familiar with the sensitivity of vehicle packing and logistics.

We not only supply vehicles, in just about any style or configuration, and fit them out with whatever your company or personal needs require, and supply the just right vehicle for you. We also carry a large range of spare parts and accessories to fit most vehicles, and these parts can be quickly delivered to your location should they be needed.

We sell both new and pre-owned vehicles. The majority of other exporters are not in automobile business but buy their cars from dealers once you have placed an order. This means additional costs and time delays. They also end up ruining the market since they don’t know the going rate for a particular vehicle and end up paying more thus increasing the market price for that vehicle.

We acquire new vehicles at the lowest price in town thanks to being a multi-brand dealership group for a great number of years. When it comes to acquiring quality used vehicles, no one can beat Jim Autos . We are a dealer of dealers so we sell what we have and what we buy directly from customers. This means that we don’t have to include commissions of other dealers and brokers to our price and can eliminate local handling charges and local wholesaler agency fees. This means that you can rely on our promises, and can stay in control of the whole process. If in case a car is not in our extensive inventory either in our showrooms or in our export car yard, you should know that we are well renowned for acquiring the best cars at best prices. Many dealers in town prefer to buy from us because of our track record of offering high quality cars at wholesale prices. We also have an efficient network of contacts within numerous automobile, accessories and parts manufacturers. This ensures us improved purchasing power that can be passed on to our dealer customers in many parts of the world.  Since our export volume is larger than the combined export volume of all of our competitors, manufacturers and auction houses prefer dealing with us directly when they have to move vehicles fast. They know that not only do we have the financial resources to acquire vehicles in bulk at short notice but also we have the logistical capacity to move them out of their premises and have enough sales throughput to get them into our customers hands.

Because of the economy of scale, we can offer below market prices making our cars affordable even in some developing countries. This is why after establishing our mark in Asia and Europe, we are emerging as the fastest growing automotive exporter in Africa, Central and Southern America. The quality of our pre-owned cars is guaranteed.

Once you place an order, we acquire the vehicle, process registration and deregistration, install accessories, handle all the paperwork and formalities, arrange shipment at the cheapest possible rate and do all the needed work. We do not rest until your vehicle is on board a ship and is on its way to your port of call. We do our best to turn each client into a lifelong customer. Contact us today for all your car import needs. You will not be disappointed.

As a courtesy, we handle containerization of your vehicle. If shipped via container, vehicles are secured inside weather-proof, sealed steel containers for their journey. Our team of professionals ensure that vehicles are loaded and secured in an appropriate manner to ensure a safe transit and arrival at destination. Each vehicle is assessed individually to ensure that the correct securing methods are employed. What ever type of vehicle is handled, Veteran, Vintage, Classic or Modern, each car will be secured in the correct manner.

Import Clearance on your end

We will handle things on our end and we expect our export customers to handle things on their end. Before purchasing any vehicle, you should be intimately familiar with the requirements of importing a vehicle into your country, so there are no rude surprises once the vehicle has arrived on your port.

Each country has its customs clearance laws, and regulations on importation of vehicles from Thailand and since we are exporting to over 100 countries in the world, we are unable to keep up with import regulations of each country. Please thoroughly investigate the requirements for importing a vehicle to your country, if you haven’t already. The majority of our export customers are dealers but we would be glad to deal with informed individuals who have made themselves aware of all the relevant laws.

Once the ship has arrived on your port, you need to arrange for Customs clearance and delivery. You will be notified a few days before the arrival of your vehicle by the agent. You can decide to use your own means to handle the container or utilize the services of our agents. You need to remember that there will be additional charges for terminal container handling, customs clearance, documentation and delivery. They are payable in the local currency to the handling agent. You need to act fast because ocean carriers only provide a few days to pick up the container from the port, unload it and return to the port before detention and demurrage charges start piling. If you have not done this before, it is better to hire either the shipping company’s agent or a freight forwarder who is experienced in clearance of vehicles from your port.

Export Flowchart

Exporting process goes this way: once you place an order, we will let you know if the vehicle is in our ready stock or needs to be acquired. We work together to figure out the various accessories that will need to be installed and create the final specifications of your required vehicle.

An official Per-forma Invoice is now created and when you send us the payment via Telegraphic Transfer (bank-to-bank-wire-transfer – TT), we take the vehicle through the mandatory registration/de-registration process that takes anywhere from 5 working days to up to 3 weeks to complete. As we wait for this process, we get all the accessories installed and reserve a container on the ship heading to your port. As soon as deregistration occurs, we load it into a container securely and send it your way.

Most ordered vehicles as Toyota Hilux Revo G 2800 cc Auto, Ford Ranger Wildtrak, Nissan Navara NP300 and Toyota Fortuner V Auto from Thailand, Toyota Prado, Toyota Land Cruiser 70, Toytoa Land Cruiser 200 from Australia and Dubai. In used Toyota Hilux Vigo G Auto and Manual is shipped the most and among SUV Toyota Fortuner.

Here are the steps:-

Call or email us to introduce yourself. Tell us if you are a dealer or a private individual and whether you are familiar with the import regulations in your country and have imported a vehicle earlier. We will let your know if and how we can do business

When you are ready, you discuss and submit details of your chosen vehicle (i.e.; air conditioning, power windows, manual transmission, body color, etc.) and accessories  you require. You also intimate your budget for the particular vehicles and we will steer you towards the right vehicle. Jim Account Manager reviews the request and fully establishes your purchase and delivery needs

If it is a new Toyota Hilux Vigo, Toyota Fortuner or Mitsubishi Triton, the chance is that we have them in stock already. If you are looking for a Jim Quality pre-owned vehicle, Jim Account Executive mounts a search to find a vehicle that meets your specifications. If a vehicle is already in one of our showrooms or export lots, we will quote you a price otherwise we will locate and price the vehicle

Once  a suitable car is found we contact you right away with vehicle’s specs and details. You must confirm it within a reasonable timeframe

If you are interested, we give you the chassis number and engine number and you confirm your decision to buy the vehicle. We work together to create vehicle’s final spec and once you agree, we send you a Per-forma invoice

You send 100% of agreed upon amount plus bank fees on both ends by Telegraphic Transfer (TT) within 36 hours. You sign and fax back the Sales Agreement and General Terms and Conditions

We acquire a temporary license plate and take it through the mandatory registration/deregistration process which takes 5-20 working days. Meanwhile we install accessories you have ordered

Car is placed securely in a container (or driven onto a Ro-Ro) with the next ship heading your way. Ratt and her staff have already organised all essential paperwork so car can be exported without a hitch on our end

We send you your keys and B/L via mail or courier (your choice but we recommend courier)

Shipping company notifies you of your car’s arrival. You pay shipping (if not paid in advance), import duty, VAT and other customs charges and retrieve your vehicle

If changes are needed to make it compliant with your country’s specifications, you take your prized possession to the nearest workshop that does compliance work and pay for agreed upon fees when picking up your vehicle

You get the vehicle insured and registered

You drive your inexpensive yet high quality Thailand-made vehicle with pride and make everyone in the block jealous!

You become Jim Motor’s Lifelong Customer and recommend us to your family, friends and customers and the above cycle begins again

Note, above steps are for “typical” transactions. Exceptions can be made for special circumstances.

Import/Export Procedures

Once a vehicle is purchased, the following typically occurs:

• Depending upon a client’s needs and location, arrangements are made with land and/or sea carriers for vehicle delivery. Clients can choose their own carriers or we can handle all the arrangements. If they do pick their own carrier, they pay us local charges and deal with freight charges themselves. Please note that any delay in this case will not be our responsibility and warehousing charges may apply if your shipper does not take delivery
• As a service to our clients, we also handle all the export and customs paperwork required for shipping the vehicle on our end
• Upon delivery of vehicle to client’s home port, client may be required to fulfill the vehicle import requirements of his/her country.

At Jim Autos we realize that each situation is unique and can be flexible in handling our clients’ needs.  We want your experience with us to be as efficient and hassle-free as possible.
