From Japanese car imports and IVA registration to KM to MPH conversions, hybrid battery services and genuine Japanese spare parts, JAP Repairs & Conversions provide the specialist expertise needed to get your vehicle road-ready for the UK.
We specialise in Japanese vehicle imports, conversions and registration, serving Wolverhampton and the wider West Midlands. From sourcing a vehicle in Japan through to the paperwork that gets it legally onto UK roads, we manage the whole process end-to-end.
Any Japanese import registered less than 10 years ago needs to pass an Individual Vehicle Approval test before the DVLA will issue a V5C logbook. This test checks multiple technical points most owners have never heard of, from headlight beam pattern to rear fog light provision. We prepare vehicles against the full IVA checklist before they ever reach a test centre, so imports go through cleanly rather than being sent back for rework.
JAP Repairs & Conversions sits alongside two sister companies under the ZEE WEBB LTD group: Zara Autos for Japanese vehicle servicing, and Zaras Taxi Hire for vehicle and taxi hire. So that you get a complete network of specialist support for owning a Japanese vehicle.

We prepare your vehicle against the IVA checklist and handle the V55/5 and NOVA paperwork with DVLA.
Headlights, speedometer, fog lights and any other conversion work are carried out to UK specification.
A final compliance check confirms everything meets standard before your vehicle is registered and handed over.
Every auto part we source is matched against your vehicle’s chassis and engine code before it’s ordered, not picked from a generic catalogue. Whether you need a genuine manufacturer component, a quality aftermarket alternative or a hard-to-find NOS part for an older import, we source it directly rather than leaving you to search overseas marketplaces yourself. Importing a vehicle with a km/h speedometer? Our km-to-mph conversion service gets it reading correctly and compliant for UK roads.
Importing a Japanese vehicle involves more moving parts than most owners expect, from sourcing the right chassis to navigating IVA testing and DVLA paperwork that rejects incomplete applications outright. We handle every stage ourselves rather than outsourcing parts of the process.
Every part is matched to your vehicle’s actual chassis and engine code. Hybrid battery diagnostics are carried out at cell level rather than a simple pass or fail check, so you get an honest picture of whether reconditioning or replacement is the right call. Based in Wolverhampton, we’re a team you can speak to directly throughout the process. We combine specialist knowledge, competitive pricing and a team genuinely invested in getting your vehicle import right.
