HVNY Imports — Local services in Town of Goshen

When I first started researching buying a Kei truck, I was convinced I could import it myself. My day job is in federal transportation compliance, how difficult could it be? I was fortunate enough to stumble across HVNY imports on Instagram, and I'm so glad I did.

Todd spent time with me to understand my use case, and recommend a '96 Daihatsu Hijet Twin Cam. (I had no idea these little trucks had a DOHC option) I live in the Chicago suburbs, and do lots of interstate driving. DOHC engines tend to "breathe" more effectively at high RPM, and would make a better choice for sustained highway driving. Todd was able to arrange transport from HVNY to my home in Chicago, and it was westbound on a flatbed the following evening.

The real test came when the trailer carrying my new Hijet was rear ended in transport, causing some rear bumper damage to the truck. Todd was on the phone fighting with the insurance company for a fair settlement on my behalf, full well knowing I'd probably not buy another truck in the near future.

Todd and his team exemplify the enthusiast culture around these obscure JDM vehicles, and their passion is evident in everything they do. I'm blown away by my experience at HVNY. Somehow, I've had the best vehicle buying experience I've ever had buying a 25 year old Japanese work truck from a dealership I've never actually visited.

I'd recommend anyone looking at purchasing a Kei truck check out HVNY first. You wont be...

My little brother had been asking me to accompany him to visit HVNY all summer long to purchase a kei truck, as he drives past it every day on his way to work. Although I had postponed many times, I finally gave in towards the end of August.

While waiting for my brother to arrive after his work shift, I had noticed a stunning BG5 wagon sitting on the lot, which happened to be my dream car. To say I was astonished would be an understatement.

When my brother finally joined me, we test drove his preferred kei truck. Todd, the owner, who was out on the lot from the moment i arrived, rather than in the back office, kindly offered to sell it to us if we insisted. However, he expressed concerns about selling it to someone as young as my brother (18) as their first car, due to safety reasons. This demonstrated Todd's genuine commitment to the well-being of his customers, rather than simply seeking quick profits.

Despite the challenges I faced with securing insurance and financing for the car, which took me three months, Todd generously held the vehicle for me, even though the initial $250 holding fee was only valid for ten days.

Regardless of whether you live just minutes away or hours from this dealership, I wholeheartedly recommend HVNY if you're in the market for a Japanese car of any kind, even a bus. Their dedication and expertise make them the...

Todd went absolutely above and beyond throughout our entire mini truck buying experience. He met with us at 8am on a Saturday before a long holiday weekend - talk about dedication! Todd enthusiastically walked us through his entire inventory, taking the time to give us test drives and sharing expert tips on how to properly drive and care for Kei trucks.

When we hit some roadblocks finding the right insurance partner, Todd didn't just leave us hanging. He immediately reached out to his network of contacts to help us find a solution. That kind of personal service is rare these days.

But here's what really impressed me: when I made some rookie mistakes with the clutch (rusty stick shift driving on my part!), Todd had his transport team pick up our truck, get it completely tuned up, and delivered back to us within just a few days. No hassle, no finger-pointing - just genuine care for his customers and the quality of his vehicles.

Todd truly stands behind the reliability and quality of his trucks. His knowledge, enthusiasm, and commitment to customer service made what could have been a stressful purchase into a smooth and enjoyable experience. If you're in the market for a mini truck, don't look anywhere else - Todd at HVNY Imports is your guy. I wouldn't hesitate to buy...
