Smile Cars Expands Its Footprint Across Japan

In a significant move, Smile Company, headquartered in Kawagoe City, Saitama Prefecture, is excited to announce that its no-store used car buying franchise, Smile Cars, will open four new locations in June 2026. This expansion increases the total number of Smile Cars stores to 136 across the nation, marking a substantial step in enhancing their localized car life support services.

Smile Cars operates as a mobile, store-less used car purchasing service, directly visiting customers at their homes or designated locations. By minimizing the fixed costs associated with traditional storefronts, the company can channel savings back into improving appraisal prices and service quality. This approach has garnered widespread support across various regions due to its focus on rapid, genuine interactions with clients.

The newly opened stores will enable Smile Cars to respond even more quickly to customer requests, addressing local needs with precision and care. The aim is to provide a superior service experience to every customer contemplating selling their vehicles,
