What does AIS do?

AIS inspects and evaluates automobiles and motorcycles. The
company also trains and educates inspectors and its 200 inspectors
are responsible for the inspection of some 500 000 vehicles annually.
AIS runs special training courses for many motor vehicle industry leaders in
Japan including Lexus and BMW.

How does AIS maintain standards?

Every AIS inspector receives comprehensive training. Further follow-up training programmes have been implemented which ensure all inspectors are up to speed with the latest developments and inspection techniques. To motivate and encourage excellence, a nationwide competition is held annually to reward outstanding achievement in the industry. AIS also uses an electronic pen base inspection computer developed in-house to ensure every inspection is forced to follow the set-out/establish inspection process. Furthermore, since all inspection information is collected electronically individual inspection performance can be measured and corrected if necessary to maintain a high and consistent inspection standard.

How can AIS serve your business?

A dedicated team of AIS inspectors will be permanently based at port terminals throughout Japan. All vehicle types can be completely and professionally inspected by AIS to verify odometer accuracy.

In addition, AIS guarantees that the shipper or consignee will be reimbursed 100% of the total cost of an inspected and passed motor vehicle, if it is seized and not released by New Zealand Customs Service at the port of entry.

How can your customers benefit from AIS?

You can give your customers complete peace of mind with the knowledge that their vehicle’s odometer has been inspected and passed by Japan’s largest and leading vehicle inspection company prior to exporting from Japan.
