AMS Automotive Maintenance Subsidy and Grant Promotion provides funding and business-support services, with a particular focus on Japan’s automotive repair and maintenance industry. The organization helps repair shops identify suitable subsidies and grants, prepare applications, and navigate support through to payment. It reports more than 200 large-scale subsidy application support cases annually and combines industry expertise with proprietary AI and digital tools to analyze past applications and strengthen consulting work.

AMS advises on programs for labor-saving investment, new business development, manufacturing, small-business growth, and digitalization. Its services can support investment in equipment such as vehicle lifts, inspection lines, alignment testers, washing machines, welding equipment, paint booths, and tire changers. The organization also offers free eligibility consultations, downloadable guides, seminars, webinars, and information on funding opportunities. It says unsuccessful applicants may reapply with a reorganized team without additional fees for that repeat attempt. While automotive businesses are its specialty, AMS also supports businesses in other industries through a partner organization.
