USS is pushing forward with the revitalization of the used vehicle distribution market, with its auto auction business as the core.

USS smoothly distributes used vehicles by running used vehicle auctions. It holds the mainstay on-site auctions at 17 auction sites across the country, satellite auctions and Internet auctions. Our membership stood at 44,003 firms at the end of September 2009. With a market share of over 30%(Results January - June 2009 : 33.7%) in the used vehicle auction industry, USS is Japan's largest auto auction company.

With auto auctions, it is important to win the confidence of the members by boosting both the number of vehicle consignments and the number of completed contracts. Auto auctions only become lively when people who want to buy or sell cars can get together with many people who are looking for vehicles to buy. To secure as many high-quality used vehicles as possible, USS operates "Rabbit," a used car purchasing chain unique to the USS Group that has bases all over the country.

Before to the enforcement of the Vehicle Recycling Law, USS set up auction sites dedicated to reusable vehicles, which handle older-model/high mileage vehicles. Vehicles sold at such auction sites are utilized in various ways, both at home and abroad. USS also scraps unsold vehicles at the request of their owners to recycle them as rebuilt auto parts, raw materials or solid fuel.
