    This the engine JDM Engine depot sent us that was supposed to be 40-50K motor.

    This place is a Scam- They sent a completely seized blown motor-See Photos. They are thieves and liars. Here is our story about these scammers. I went to the BBB and they put a black mark on them but doesn't help much still out the money. They did suggest filing with the NJ Consumer Affairs office. I have done that and am waiting for their response. Someone has to stop these crooks. On 8/7/23 My Son and I purchased a Subaru Outback motor from JDM Engine depot in Bellville NJ for $899 plus $400 shipping, $1299. We received the motor and proceeded to inspect the motor and drain the oil to put fresh oil in, We had the motor on the engine stand and when the oil was drained we turned the motor over to inspect the bottom when we heard all this metal hitting the pan. We took the pan off and you can see in the photos the amount of metal in the engine, it was completely destroyed inside. This motor had nowhere near the 40-60K that they state and it was seized up. I have called them and they were happy to replace it after we pay $400 more to ship it back, now we are up to $1699. Then when they get it back and "inspect it" they will determine if I can pay another $400 for them to send me a replacement, Now we are up to $2099 for an $899 motor. That is $899 for the completely useless motor that didn't even check before they shipped. All they had to do was try to turn it to tell it was seized. The response I got every time was shipping is not covered under warranty. That being said $1200 in shipping is ridiculous. The business hasn't tried to compensate or offer any restitution for the issue. This isn't the first time by reading BBB complaints against them and reviews of them. At what point is this considered a scam. They advertise a 40-60K motor that is tested, neither of those thing are correct. These are directly from their website: "We hand-pick our JDM motors and transmissions with an average of 45,000-65,000 miles. Japan's strict emission laws make it costly to keep cars there, so many are sent to junkyards or auctioned off. We import them straight to our NJ warehouse." "In the event of a defective engine block, head, or transmission, JDM Engine Depot will be responsible to either replace or fix the defective part only"

    they sell junk engines. they do not test them, they do not inspect them and they take your money! stay away, do not buy

    This place is the opposite of what they say they advertise do not go through them! They do not sell low mile motors imported from Japan and they sure don't test run these motors before they sell them everything they say is a lie they say that the pictures are of the actual motor you are buying and that is a lie also took the valve covers off to apply new ones and I find shinny pieces/chunks of metal sitting next to head bolts appear to be parts of a bearing from somewhere in the motor ive called the company and get pit on hold forever ive emailed them multiple times and got no response waist of miney and time and im stuck with a motor thats no good and no way to get any kind of service warranty or nothing this place is a perfect example of a scam.

    Just one word "JUNK" plain and simple. They claimed the engine was tested but I can't see how. The engine looked clean on the outside and right under the oil cap. We replaced the rear main seal and crank seal, removed valve covers to change gaskets and that's when things started to look odd. Engine looked as if it had been power washed on the inside of the valve covers. The engine was installed into the vehicle and hooked up. The engine started up and ran really bad. All the time and effort to install a bad motor and knowing no labor or fluids are covered. The seller was nice enough the first time I sent them a text. Then the next time I informed them that the cylinder head on the left side was removed to inspect and found cylinder walls in very poor condition. The other thing I find is the fact the company I purchased the engine from was (jdmenginedep0t). When I first read the name I did not catch the difference in the name spelling. Everything from the logo to the feed back is all made out to (jdmenginedepot) not (jdmenginedep0t) This company which ever one they are set out to take my money and they did just that. Not even a thank you.

    Number 3 rod is bent and the engine won't even rotate.

From day 1 after the install, these were noisy but the representative told us to wait till few hundred miles. Just in 2 months, not only the nosiness persisted but also shuttering just to happen. Car shakes violently on braking. Less than 5000 miles on new rotors and pads, pads are gone and rotors have deep groves. As soon as these were replaced, all issues gone. It wouldn't take a genius to gauge these rotors and pads are defective. The store representative is definitely the worst I have seen. He griningly said u should have come on day 1 just after u put them on. Now, we can't do anything. I asked what's the two year warranty/20,000 miles warranty for. He said I don't want to talk and go back n forth without even properly examining the rotors. Now I have a pack of defective rotors and pads, paid twice to get a damn brake job. I would make a deal with devil but not going to buy anything from this store or warehouse. Damn crooks!

After they made my E46 run like new again in 2014/15, I have been here frequently to pick up parts regularly for my BMW E46 as well as major service when my expertise and skill level did not match to the task at hand. When something went wrong with my DIY job, I had Rich and Victor check out my car to make sure I didn't do any major damage. Once again, upon arrival... a friendly interaction followed by a wealth of knowledge. All of my concerns were addressed and given to me in writing. You just HAVE to be patient because good things take time. And most of all ROCS will never compromise the quality of their work to rush a job out of the shop. They are honesty, trustworthy, extremely knowledgable, and most of all FAIR when it comes to a competitive price point for their work and parts. A bonus of constantly stopping by this shop is the eye candy of all the Porsche's they work on and build! I am a customer for life. THANK YOU!

I googled and found ROCS. I called made an appointment and took my car in only to pay half of the dealership cost. Any work done always saved me money and I had no problem paying because of the kind customer service (IDK what others are talking about) and quality of the work. My son needs work done on his Audi and I couldn't remember where I took my Beemers because it's been a few years. Racked my brain and remembered ROCS. Hopefully he will call and be as satisfied as I was. Sometimes things happen, shops get busy and there could be a delay. In my opinion it's not a reflection of the work they do.
