Search car service shops in Japan
search_shopsUse this when someone looks for a place in Japan to have a car service done, such as a vehicle inspection (shaken), a self-service or hand car wash, a coating, a wheel alignment, or fitting coilovers, near a city or a point. Do not use it for car history or parts; use the other skills. Returns only shops confirmed to offer the service, nearest first, within radius_km of the origin: {service: {code, name, conditions}, origin, radius_km, require, total, shops, next_offset}. Each shop has name, shop_type, address, distance_km, availability (available, or conditional when it depends on the car), price_min, price_max, price_note, confirmed (the conditions checked for this shop: a yes_no condition with available true or false, a number condition such as an inspection fee with value and unit) and the url of its public page, where the booking link and sources are. A condition missing from confirmed is not researched yet, never absent. service.conditions lists each condition with its type; pass yes_no codes in require to keep only shops confirmed to meet them. The order is distance only. Empty shops means nothing matched among the shops confirmed so far, not that no such shop exists; widen radius_km.
