Eric and his team at JDM Westcoast was extremely helpful they helped assist with the purchase and loading it in to my vehicle. Highly recommended shop for Japanese engines!

Buyers be aware when buying from this company I’m currently in a very bad situation with a engine that I purchased from them its consuming crazy amount of oil and they were really no help They want me to pay shipping to send the engine back to them so they can inspect and they also want me to pay the shipping to send me another engine charging me around $700 for shipping

The guys at JDM WestCoast are extremely helpful when it comes to getting a reliable engine ready to go for you. I had a great experience in an exchange for the right model for my vehicle. Fair pricing and very good customer service. Definitely a 10/10 in my book!

There team is solid, super responsive and helpful. As for there product I’m not so sure. Bought an rb25det, when I received it and my mechanic ran a leak down test 6 was leaking at 20% (which was worse but he got it down to 20%) and rust and corrosion in some spots ecu was a mess, timing belt and intake aren’t useable. When I emailed them to address these issues they sent me a video of a compression test and said the engine is in good condition. (I have no idea how old that video is) I’m understanding of the rust and corrosion as these motors are 20+ years, but when I bought a motor I expected to to pass a leak down test.

No one had a low mile engine for my client. JDM west coast did! At a great price and the purchase process was simple and clear!

Honestly this place here i thought they did a good job on my car but Honestly they sold me a 2zz engine that was no good it started leaking oil from the timing covers after a month of the installation, , guy said it was the power sterling which obviously wasnt , took it to a different mechanic and said the same thing that my timing covers were leaking, so I had to pay outta pocket an extra 1000$ to get it fixed , also they jdm westcoast also told me it needed the left side of the motor mounts and installed it backwards with no bolts , and now the transmission is leaking oil which i also bought from jdm westcoast, dont waste your time on this place Honestly, and the water pump was leaking. Don't come to this place

I took in my WRX FA20 three months ago and my car has been running amazing. My stock turbo was bad and they were able to hook me up with their JDM one at no additional cost originally I was quoted $12,000 at my local dealership and these guys were able to do it for a fraction of the price. Thanks again!!

My 2007 Camry terribly burning lube oil and Toyota dealer told me need to pay over $7000 to repair it. Come to JDM is my lucky choice because they changed a dependable second hand engine (about 40k miles age) and give my car a new life. Today I pick up my repaired car and it runs very smoothly without noise and powerful move. $2.3k is responsible and real.

honestly they did an ok job, I wouldn’t recommend but if you do then just hope for the best, when I got my car it was good for a couple of days and then I started having problems with it, I had to fix it myself but It’s a 50/50 that I trust there mechanics. I thought they knew what they were doing but I guess not, If you tried going back to fix your car you would probably have to wait another week. They need better mechanics, They just need to do better. I felt like not secure with my car when I got it back.

Yeeeeah i strongly suggest you guys read through all the fine print but especially read through all the 1 star reviews, they are there for a reason and there is a common theme among them all. This place sells products that they know are bad and will claim the product was tested before leaving their facility. I bought a motor from them just to find out the motor has bent rods and when i reported the issue they claimed they would replace it and make it right just for them to turn around 3 days later to basically tell me im stuck with a $4000 paperweight. Strongly suggest you guys stay away from these guys you would be waaaay better getting a product from a private seller on facebook marketplace lol

Pulled up to jdm and was recieved with a friendly face able to answer my questions amd help with the transaction. Purchased a 2az engine for my new-ish camry soon to hit the steets. Thanks JDM West Coast!

Terrible work. Got an engine swap on a wrx. When I received the car. It has so many leaks, most of the plastic components holding things in place were snapped or broken off and the just taped it back together as if I wouldn’t notice. They also kept the engine and transmission they pulled out and refused to return. Shady business practices

First time experience buying a JDM Transmission Made easy hassle free. Came in for a 2010 Subaru Outback Transmission, Eric From front desk helped me and got exactly what I needed. 5 Star Service. Highly recommend.

Purchased a 1zz-Fe motor for my 07 corolla in May. Delivered right to my garage door. A puddle of oil was found on top of all the spark plugs but a simple Valve cover gasket and tube seals solved the issue. The motor was in great condition, sounds strong and healthy. Been driving it for 3 months now and am really happy with it. Would definitely purchase again for any other vehicle I have.

JDM WestCoast in Santa Fe Springs did an excellent job in replacing the K24A4 engine in my 2005 Honda Element. Tareq and staff are really helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. 100% highly recommended by Hernando.

My transmition was fixed and i picked up my car on 4/29/2025. I then took my car to get other repairs done as they would not be able to fix it. When my car was being fixed the mechanic stated the transmission was bad and to call the mechanic who put it in because they had a warranty. When I did the mechanic stated they were not going to cover it because the other mechanics ruined it . I explained to them that they knew that my car needed extra work and was going to be taken to another mechanic for that, plus it was new it should not have any.problems and that we paid 2500 for a new transmission with a warranty from them, which was still under the time frame to be honored but they are refusing to fix it . So we now have to pay again for a new one to be put in. Which will be another 2500 since they refuse to put i. A new one all they wanted was to pay to put the car on a diagnosis check . Which was ridiculous!!! There a transmission shop what they don't fix anything other !!!!

Not good products, the transmission I bought from them for my onda civic coupe 2001 didn’t last long. It only lasted about 2000 miles and it broke down. Plus check engine light on

Just visited JDM's in Santa Fe, Eric the owner and he's staff are really helpful and friendly. They have an outstanding section of motors and transmission, 90 day warranty on most parts. Definitely coming back, 100% recommend.

Bought a transmission from them and it works great. Why the one star? well........ they caused about $1,500 in damage to my Lexus installing the transmission by their "mechanic".... They ripped every single plastic clip under my car to access the transmission and replaced them all with zip ties, broke the connection for the ECM setting off a permanent VSC code, forgot to plug in my active motor mount, ripped out the steering column boot cover (so that every time you drove the car, A Rush of air was coming inside the car like a tornado) treated my interior like it was a mechanic's couch ( black fingerprints all over my brand new leather interior, center console, pillars, and sunroof) manhandled my rack and pinion ( it was already on its way out, but their mechanic completely rendered it useless and not only did not recommend a new one, AND damaged the rack and pinion putting it back in) , and to top it off, dripped ice cream on the side of my door. Complained several times to the owner, and their iconic response was: " the car was like that when it came in" Found a great shop near me that's Toyota certified and they were able to fix all the problems on my car for about $1,500. Does this place sell great used transmissions? Absolutely. If you have a luxury car that you care about, DO NOT have them do the work. Find a great shop that you trust that will do the work for you

They sold me an engine with less than 65,000 miles... yeah right. It was full of sludge (parts store where I take my used oil literally thought there was a dead rat in the oil). The engine had bad ignition coils and/or spark plugs, so bad in fact that an ark to ground had been going on for so long on cylinder 1 and 4 that it had blown holes into the side of the valve cover, and consequently those spark plug holes were full of oil. The rear main seal leaked and needed to be replaced. I haven't seen too many engines with under 65k miles that have those kind of problems. Shipping - it was delayed so much that I ended up driving to the local shipper and picking it up myself, saving myself days and a weekend of additional waiting, but I had paid a lot of money for residential delivery by a specific date. I emailed them about the issues and requested a refund of the shipping expense since they didn't deliver it to me, but they have not responded, nor have they issued a refund. My opinion - find someone else. These guys aren't the cheapest but the quality and customer service makes it feel like they should be.

Staff is friendly and are always willing to help you out if you need it. Shop is on the smaller side, but have a look around. Hidden jems are often a sight unseen!

As promised, I decided to do a review after the 90 day warranty expired. After researching and calling multiple shops, rebuilding was more expensive than replacing with a JDM. So far I have no regrets, the van run like a charm, and of course highly recommend this business to others. Great job JDM West Coast team: Alex, Jose, & others..... Vehicle: 2003 Honda Odyssey EX-L (old but running strong). Issue: randomly stall & shooting out error code P0730 Solution: replace with a JDM Transmission.

Absolutely awesome service and engine was in excellent condition. Setup and installed the engine in two weeks. Thanks so much!

OMG, This place is absolutely amazing!! Great engine with tested compressions, my Honda Element’s replacement engine has 209-210!!. Johnathan is an amazing person when it comes to customer service, Jose is just simply awesome mechanic, he replaced my engine in 2 days ( my honda is AWD, manual). He replaced the clutch and pressure plate, throw out bearing, main seal and water pump while he as at it. The engine runs like new, he checked the OBD2 codes and the whole nine yards. Fresh coolant, motor oil, filter. BTW, Eric the manager was also nice, he doesn’t talk much but very honest. Please don’t take any chance with any other JDM engine shop, JDM Westcoast may not be the cheapest but there is no hidden cost, works done on time, and there were no damage to the vehicle what so every like some other people said. This place is a fresh new hope for Japanese car users as they can replace your engine or transmission professionally!! Another happy customer here.

Definitely 5 stars!! My 2003 Toyota Celica GT needed a new engine because something about the rod, it had leaks and basically wasn’t safe to drive anymore. Jonathan was the person who helped me and was super helpful, friendly and answered all of my annoying questions haha! Everything went smooth. They replaced my 1ZZ engine with the exact same motor. And if you guys wanna know, they took 2 weeks. I wasn’t in a rush since I had a backup car. But my celica drives better and smoother than ever. Very happy with Jonathan’s service and his team for doing a good job! MUST bring your car here if it needs a new engine! I highly recommend this place! Thanks a lot guys!
