I recently imported a 2012 Toyota Crown M+, which is quite rare and was rejected by most importers for compliance. However, working with Isuru made the entire process effortless. He was transparent, knowledgeable, and reliable throughout every step. I highly recommend him for anyone looking for a smooth and trustworthy import experience.

Big thanks to Mendis for finding and securing my R35. Great condition and drives like it’s from the factory. Did all the work to get the correct documents and organised shipping to Australia. Also helped out with getting it serviced before arriving to its new home.
