I purchased an engine from them, which turned out to be junk. the 45-65k miles they advertise is a joke, this engine is clapped. Bent intake valve, piston rings seized in the pistons. If I had paid someone to install this engine before disassembling it I would be in a really poor situation. I contact them to discuss the issue and I voided my warranty by disassembling the engine. I think they can do better and have some leeway in situations like this where its clear that the engine had a pre-existing issue. A partial return would suffice. spend your money elsewhere. read more

Terrible Customer Service. I bought an engine from the owner directly. After paid for it. I took of work to go get the engine. I told the owner it was a 3 hour drive from my house and I asked if there was someone I could contact incase I get stuck in traffic. He said no and that he was closing at 4pm. The site and the sign outside says they close at 5pm. After the owner took my money he literally was going to let me drive 3 hour and leave. Also the engine was a piece of crap and stopped working conveniently right after their short warranty. Now I have a broken engine and had to buy a new one. read more

My grandson purchased from this business. After replacing flywheel lifters and a dozen items, the engine still has severe piston rod knock. Junk. JDB says a Sema mechanic is not qualified to install this flat 4, and will not honor warranty. Actually said 'to bad'. Kid is out everything. I will never do business with them again and will tell anyone who asks the same read more

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" read more

Hi all. I'm a retired ASE Certified Mechanic and I made the mistake of not reading the reviews on this outfit before buying from them. On 10/25/2021 I ordered and engine for a Tacoma SR5 for a total of $2129 with shipping. The engine arrived just a few days later. On first inspection it looked like the motor had been removed from a vehicle that they definitely did not want to replace the motor in. A wreck, a chop shop, who knows. Every wire and hose had been cut from the old vehicle and was still attached to the motor. Even the plenum air tube had been cut. It made my pretty suspect. I transported the motor to another address where it was to be installed. On arrival I put the engine on an engine stand and removed the inspection cover for the timing belt. I attempted to rotate the engine by hand and hit a hard spot. The motor would barely move past that point. I removed the spark plugs and found anti freeze on the number 4 plug. With a scope I looked inside the cylinders and cold see water on both the 2 and 4 cylinders and the #1 cylinder showed signs of water. I called JDM and sent them pictures. Unfortunately I was having difficulty sending videos by email. The first time i called the guy was pretty decent and asked me for the pictures. I called a second time and didn't get the first guy but the second guy said they got the pictures. I called a third time later that day to aske if there was a verdict and got the banker style telephone runaround. Finally someone took a moment to rudely say all correspondence must be done by email. So I made a fresh video of the entire problem starting from scratch. I still could not send it by email so I made a YouTube video and sent the link to them via Email and I posted it on their Facebook Messenger. A day or so later I sent a regular text email to them asking for a replacement engine and explaining that I felt I had been scammed. I have received NO correspondence from them and every call is a bankers runaround. Be warned. Their warrantee pretty much guarantees that you will NOT get an satisfaction from them if there is a problem with any of the stuff they sell. There are too many hoops and firepits to jump through. Too many conditions that have to be met. Their website says their products are inspected and tested. That is a lie. If it were at all true then they would have found the problems with this motor. I actually believe they knew the engine was bad and saw that I was 2000 miles away and couldn't just bring it back to their store. In conclusion, judging from the reviews I've seen here. JDM Engine Depot is a scam business. I will be posting a YouTube video review of the motor as I will have to rebuild it to use it. Thank You For Your Time. read more

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. read more

I bought a K20A03 for my Civic last year. I only used the cylinder head off it. It was definitely cheaper to part out what you need from a JDM than it is to buy the part you need on line. Well, my chain tensioner guide blew up and I had to get another one. I called my buddy Leo at JDM and asked him to pick out a good one for me. He sent me an almost new K20A. I installed it and started on the first crank, no check engine lights. Now I'm not a paid mechanic. I learn most of what I do by watching YouTube videos. If I can do it so can you. I would recommend buying a seal kit. Removing everything and replacing seals. Replace hoses, thermostat, etc. it's not a new engine people! If you want to have it run without issues, you'll have to put some maintenance into it. I would recommend only using the engine, and replace the small stuff. Remember, mark it beforehand. You'll save a lot of time. read more

Even one star is too much for this company! The only way to describe them accurately are words like dishonest, terrible, thieves, misrepresented, and knowingly ripping people off. I bought an engine off of them on eBay, because they had 100% positive feedback. Well, they must have somebody on the payroll at eBay, because I left them negative feedback and the very same day two other people left them negative feedback and within a week, they had been removed and again showed 100% positive feedback. The engine I bought from them was obviously never tested. It had a horrible tapping sound. Upon further inspection the dipstick was brown and it had obvious remnants of sludge. I called them up to get some type of refund and they lied to me and said they would, but then went back on their word. I should have looked at both their Yelp reviews and their Better Business Bureau reviews. Both of which are in the toilet. If these guys have 100% positive feedback on eBay, then Joe Biden is the smartest man on the planet. This company is a complete joke! You might as well burn your money if you do business with them! Don't believe one bad review. Check out all of their reviews on Yelp and BBB. read more

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. read more

Don't EVER get anything from JDM Engine Depot!! As most of you know, several months ago I recieved a faulty engine from them I paid $349 for along with $230 shipping. It was literally the EASIEST check in the world. Stuck a wrench in the side, the engine wouldn't even turn over. Well they wanted a work order, I got it and sent it. They wouldn't respond so I went through PayPal for my refund. I have spent two months waiting for something to happen. They contact me finally and tell me that I have to spend $230 shipping it back to recieve my $579 refund which would really only be a $349 refund. So I literally just LOSE money and get absolutely nothing out of this but heart ache and stress. I contact the seller and they said they won't cover the return shipping even though their SHITTY business didn't make a simple check and sent me a SHITTY engine. So now I just have this thing sitting in my yard and its def not worth even $349. I don't even have $230 to ship it back and its costing us fines sitting in the driveway! They are a terrible terrible business, OBVIOUSLY, and I hope this stops some other person in serious need from utilizing them as your business and giving them your money when they can't even bother to send products that WORK. read more

Bought a Auto transmission for Honda Accord 2002 LX 2.3 4 cyc. Sept. 27 2019 for $319.88. I came from upstate NY (Chenango Co) to pick it up. After getting the car to mechanic and waiting for him to change it, the 30 days lapsed. I called JDM, spoke with a Leo on Nov. 27 and told him transmission was junk. Would not shift and froze in gear without moving. The Mechanic has 20 years experience doing swaps (Grumpy's in Oxford NY). Put in a new Honda shift cable ($70) + (Solenoids were swapped from Japanese to USA model). Mechanic charged me $350 total. Even if I had a another transmission from JDM, I would still be upside down and NOT do. I have $700 now into car and lots of time and it's a NO GO. Will Recycle it. Don't Do What I did! Nothing Offered From JDM! Cliff Reed read more

TOTAL SHARKS!!! My boyfriend found a GSR motor that was flawlessly clean on eBay, and begged me to front him the money to buy it since he wouldn't get paid for another week, and he didn't want to miss out on the great deal he found. a purchase that was supposed to only be 1800 turned out being 2400 once they tacked on the freight charges. After a week, he excitedly got his engine, and after inspecting it, the serial number didn't even match their own invoice, and the picture online was of a much better quality than what he received. He contacts them back, and some guy, Will convinces him to get a B16A instead. Reluctantly, my boyfriend agreed, but insisted on pictures because he wanted one that was as clean as the GSR. a week later, nothing. When we call, Will said he already processed it, and gave a ETA of Friday. My boyfriend waited the whole day, and nothing. He called them, and they insisted it was shipped. After 8 hours, we find out that it wasnt even an engine from their company. They CONSIGNED from a third party in TEXAS who shipped out a crappy engine that was broken. Their **PLUG AND PLAY** guaruntee states we shuoldn't have to anything but connect the engine, and it will run. /aside from this, the engine wasn't even processed, and we ended up waiting an extra week to get the piece of crap. Will offered us a $200 credit off our next purchase (FAT CHANCE IN HELL, WITH THE WAY THEY TREATED US THIS TIME AROUND), as well as a refund of our shipping cost, since the package was late due to their error. This was back in April. They gave us the run around for nearly 6 months now, and have yet to refund us the shipping... and no, the engine still doesn't work! They had me do their legwork to get the refund processed. I called their account executive with the shipping company, and was guarunteed that they processed the refund. When I relay the message to JDM, they insist they received nothing, and have been holding onto that line of bullshit since! BEST ADVICE IS TO IGNORE THEIR FAKE EBAY REVIEWS, AND TRUST YELP. THESE PEOPLE ARE CROOKS, AND SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN PERMANENTLY FOR DEFRAUDING THEIR PATRONS. read more

I paid over $2,000 for my motor from these people over $1,300 to a shop to install it they called 10 minutes after it was running said it was slapping and making noises I sent the video to the shop the guys at jbm agreed so they offered to replace the motor or go ahead and let the shop fix it and send them the bill now that I've got the paperwork they don't want to do anything I get the run-around every time I call they play stupid give me different names of different people not getting any help from them I'm having to have the motor rebuilt now I'm out over 3000 from the beginning and you having to pay almost another 5 to have the motor rebuilt not to mention I've been out of a truck for over 3 months I did everything exactly they wanted and I'm getting screwed for it this is going to become a legal matter I've never had such a horrible experience my entire life of any business for any reason read more

Do not purchase anything from JDM. Purchased a Lexus RX300 transmission. Certified mechanic noticed metal shavings from torque converter- we didn't even remove from pallet. Immediately called Will and Leo and asked them for a replacement but they refused to exchange the damaged item or send a replacement. They told me I had to pay to ship unit back. I explained that it was not even taken off the pallet and did not find it fair that I pay for shipping, when it arrived damaged, in which they did not care. I emailed and called numerous times for exchange, Will would not help. I filed a complaint with the NJ BBB and will follow up with a compilation NJ Attorney General's Office. I suggest everyone with an issue, do the same. read more

I called them up for an engine for my Subaru, they sold me a different engine and refused to take the engine back unless i paid the shipping and 25% restocking fee. They took advantage of my little understanding of engine. When I go the engine and called them back, at first the hung up the phone and then asked me to call back in 10 minutes. I called and they had a spanish speaking Danny talk to me saying I accepted a 2.0 engine and that was nothing they could do. I asked if they had the engine I need and they said they don't carry that. That's when I understood they pushed me something else taking advantage of my ignorance. read more

Do not purchase from JMD Depot! save your money! Purchase from an more reliable used engine co. I just purchase an 1.8 VVT-I Toyota Motor from them and it was junk! They don't verify operation of the motor just an compression test which doesn't tell you much. The motor you receive was not the same one (pic's) on their site. My motor just look good from the outside, The Certified Mechanic told me your used motor was modified, oversize injectors, different exhaust manifold, intake was cracked. The motor was souped-up and beat, antifreeze went out the tail pipe immediately. A lesson well learned. Bill Schaefer, WI. read more

They came recommended from a friend that has modified cars and purchases specialty Japanese engines and has never had a problem. I needed an engine for my Camry and went with these guys.

Bought an engine that was defected. Understood paying for shipping charges to deliver. Engine was not as described and was defective - no compression on cylinders and appeared to have head gasket damage.

I purchased a mazda 2.3l engine with 40k miles from them. I had a professional mechanic install this engine in my mazda 3 and the motor will not turn over. It rotates 1/3 of a turn and hits metal to metal rotating both forward and back. My mechanic diagnosed the engine as un-usable and catastrophic damage internally. unfortunately this was discovered 60 days after purchase and this company told me to kick rocks since i'm technically past the return policy. THIS MOTOR WAS SOLD AS A 40K MILE RUNS EXCELLENT ENGINE.. DO NOT TRUST THIS CROOKED COMPANY. BEWARE read more

JDM Engine Depot sold me a D17A Honda 1.7 VTEC shipped to my house was $500 much cheaper than any salvage yard. I'm a certified auto technician have installed many engines in the last 30 years. This engine came as clean as you could ask. I installed a new timing belt and water pump kit just to ensure its reliability the one I removed looked new. The valve cover was removed and engine was inspected. The inside of the engine was as clean as the outside no build up at all. After installation the car was test drove over 40 miles and performed as well as any new engine I've ever installed. This makes the 6th JDM engine and or transmission I've bought and installed all have been very good quality. If you guys could include paper work stating miles by serial number of engine it would help me. I resale these cars. the more documentation the better. I recommend JDM engine depot. read more

So please learn from my mistakes... Here is what happened... Bought a JDM Motor from JDM Engine Depot a 5VZFE 3.4L. Got the engine, my mechanic and I started taking it apart and when the intake came off the backs of the valves were all rusty and covered in what looked like mud. One head was removed and there was a good bit of water and mud like substance in it. Probably from a tsunami. Called JDM Engine Depot and told them. They said the warranty is void because the head was removed. and even if the head was not removed I would have had to pay $500 to ship the bad engine back and to receive another engine. (That was possibly bad as well) I said this engine is obviously bad with mud and water in it it doesn't matter if the head was removed or not. This is obviously wrong not to warranty it. The person I talked to said to bad. I said I am going to tell everyone I possibly can that JDM Engine Depot will not stand behind their engines and not to do business with this company. SO EVERYONE PLEASE LEARN FROM ME! DONT BUY A JDM ENGINE WITH OUT LOOKING IT OVER FIRST! DONT HAVE IT SHIPPED ACROSS THE COUNTRY... AND DONT DO BUSINESS WITH JDM ENGINE DEPOT. I should have know better. Lesson Learned. read more

Got an engine from these people. It started acting up the same night..from that night on until now the engine light never went off. 2nd mechanic I took it to said the engine needed a head gasket(sp?). They (my mechanic) have been calling for the last 2 weeks and were being given the run around. Finally today I spoke with them and they refused to do anything about it because they said when it was installed the first day there was nothing wrong with it. Mind you the car has not been driven for a good 2 days since I put the engine in, because I had to change the trans as well. They got me to buy it because they claim they warranty all the parts. IN fact there was someone else at the mechanic's shop who said they had the same issue. They refused to fix his because they said a licensed mechanic did not install it. these people are a rip off..and if you do business with them..good luck. read more

I'm sorry I need to write a review this bad on anyone! I was sent to them by jdm Jamaica as they didn't have my engine. I bought the engine good price or so I thought got charged more than I thought on shipping and I did they doubled what there shipping company was charging the and I know this because it ended up coming collect. That was after them sending 4 invoices with the wrong amount of what I was quoted First they tried to bill me again for the engine then the next was for quad the amount after finally get the right invoice I payed it through paypal. When the shipping company called the next day for delivery they told me its collect now I have spent all day on phone with the rudest person ever Will who says he is the general manger and refused to put owner on phone. Now having the engine here and finally looking at it not the one in pics like I was told this engine looks like crap if you cant pick it up in person I suggest you use jdm corp in texas a little more in shipping but worth it in long run FOUND THIS OUT FIRST HAND read more
