    💬 Sheryl says: Hi guys, I must admit I got annoyed at the continual notifications that my car had no WOF when I did go in and get it sorted and it passed. I have a sticker on my car saying 05/09/2016 which means it passed. If it weren't for you guys and your continual notification I would have not known that actually my car passed at the Drivesure Manukau WOF but the system did NOT record it (I really don't know they all blame each other) I called NZTA and they blamed Drivesure and so forth. So thank you all for keeping it real and updated, I was about to do the fateful and unsubscribe Im so glad I didn't. You guys did me a favour I really appreciate it. Regards

    💬 Kind regards Paul Johansen. says: I was very grateful to Car Jam for the help they gave me in buying a Prius import. Alan went the extra mile in order to ensure the information we received from Japan was accurate and meant something tangible. I would have no hesitation in highly recommending Car Jam if you want peace of mind when purchasing any vehicle from Japan. Its well worth the cost involved.
