gradesearch.com is a one-stop portal site that consolidates various tools, search functions, and specialized services from the Japanese automotive industry (JDM: Japan Domestic Market) that were previously scattered across different locations. It is available free of charge to anyone, from individual users to companies, regardless of nationality or location.
This site was created from the operator's personal experience of wanting to eliminate the hassle of searching for links during vehicle appraisal and sales processes. In today's world where comprehensive appraisal services are common, we believe that making grade information easily accessible to general users brings significant benefits to both sellers and buyers, as well as to the industry as a whole.
Direct access to the official grade search services of Toyota/Lexus, Nissan, Honda, Subaru, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Daihatsu, and Suzuki. By eliminating the search process for "manufacturer name + grade search," we help improve efficiency during appraisal and vehicle registration processes.
We eliminate the risks associated with downloading foreign software and concerns about corporate security measures. There have also been cases where users paid for apps but were unable to unlock their devices, and our service helps prevent such unnecessary expenditures. With just a smartphone or tablet connected to the internet, you can quickly address locked devices without needing to input information on a PC. Detailed instructions including unlock procedures with images and videos can also be found at erccode.com. Like our site, it supports 17 languages and provides information for users worldwide.
We've saved users the trouble of searching through each prefecture's website for automobile tax refund authorization formats by centralizing all official formats in one place. Documents that were only available in Excel or Word format have been converted to PDF for easy printing. This is also convenient for export companies.
While VIN searches are common for Japanese vehicles, we also accommodate cases where VIN searches are difficult, such as with imported vehicles, enabling access to a wider range of vehicle information.
Instant model year searches are possible with a single online device, without the need for printed materials or offline tools.
This site's mission is to provide users with the latest and most accurate information, pursuing transparency, reliability, and above all, convenience. We aim to accurately understand the needs of everyone involved in the automotive industry, continuously improve our sustainable services, and contribute to the efficiency and development of the entire industry as an information platform.
