What It Is

Auto Respect（株式会社オートリスペクト） is a niche automotive dealer based in Kokubunji, Japan, specializing in Mercedes-Benz. In addition to selling new and used cars, the company also offers vehicle purchasing, repairs, inspections, and custom modification services. Its main selling point is hands-on experience selling more than 1,000 Mercedes-Benz vehicles, while emphasizing a “100% customer-first perspective” and “lifelong customer relationships.”

Key Dimensions

• Platform / Service Type: A typical offline car dealership combined with social media marketing via Instagram, rather than a conventional e-commerce platform. Its business covers full-vehicle sales, used-car purchasing, and after-sales maintenance.
• Product Selection / Supply Chain: Highly vertical, with an almost 100% focus on Mercedes-Benz and AMG high-performance models, including sedans, wagons, and SUVs such as the C-Class, E-Class, and GLS.
• Logistics & Fulfillment: A purely offline fulfillment model. Customers need to visit the store for vehicle handover, maintenance services such as oil changes, coatings, inspections, and customization. There is no online logistics or delivery system.
• Service Features: The company highlights a sales style centered on “人間力” — personal charisma and professional competence — extending from sales to the full after-sales lifecycle. The material repeatedly mentions customers making second to fourth repeat purchases, indicating very strong service stickiness.

Pricing & Fees

As a physical car dealer, there are no platform commissions or subscription fees. Revenue comes from margins on vehicle sales and purchases, as well as repair and maintenance service fees. Specific pricing depends on the model and vehicle condition and must be quoted individually; the text does not disclose exact prices or payment methods.

Pros & Cons

Pros: Extremely specialized in Mercedes-Benz, strong one-stop car purchase and after-sales experience, high customer loyalty and repeat purchase rate.
Cons: Very narrow brand coverage limited to Mercedes-Benz, geographically constrained with a focus on the Japanese domestic market, and lacking a complete online transaction loop.

Who It’s For

Consumers living in Japan, especially in Tokyo and surrounding areas, who prefer Mercedes-Benz or already own a Mercedes-Benz and need repair, maintenance, or resale services. It is not suitable for e-commerce sellers seeking multi-brand price comparisons or cross-border foreign trade.
