I have been buying engines and transmissions from this shop for 8 years. The quality is always good and if there is any issues, they respond quickly and honor the warranty.
Spoke with Ameen about a used engine for a Prius I needed for the shop I work for and he was able to help and deliver in a timely manner, very personable and professional. Engine came out good. Will be using the company again in the future.
Went above and beyond to get me the correct transmission after I’d been given a Jdm elsewhere and was told it was compatible realizing that it wasn’t going to work out . He was knowledgeable and confirmed to me Jdm cvt was not going to workout. after weeks of agony elsewhere.they got me a us transmission and everything is great . I highly recommend these guys.!
Amazing place for quality used engines and transmissions!
Honda and Foreign Auto in Riverside is hands down the best place I’ve ever dealt with for used engines and transmissions. Their customer service is seriously next level — super friendly, honest, and always willing to help you find exactly what you need. They really take the stress out of the whole process.
I’ve bought multiple engines and transmissions from them over the years, and every single one has been reliable, long-lasting, and ran strong. You can tell they actually care about what they sell and stand behind the quality of their parts. It’s hard to find that kind of consistency and honesty these days, but these guys deliver every time.
What really stands out is how easy they make everything. They’re knowledgeable, straightforward, and never try to upsell you — just good, solid parts that perform the way they should. Every engine and transmission I’ve bought from them has gone the distance, and I wouldn’t go anywhere else.
If you’re looking for dependable used Honda or foreign engines and transmissions and great customer service to go with it, this is the place. Highly recommend — 5 stars all the way!
This place is great my family always goes here when we need good and fair prices. I would recommended this place. The owner is very helpful and always answers questions. 10/10
I have used these guys for many years and they have been excellent. I have bought engines, transmissions, and had them install them and every one has been great. I have been very happy with their service and their honesty.
I recommended this place to a friend, because I take all my Honda to him for all my repairs. They took really great care of him and gave him an amazing price.
I’ve bought multiple engine and transmissions from them and every time they have treated me great and they take care of me in case there is an issue. Great service
Very friendly and honest people; will definitely be coming back again . I needed an engine installed in my Honda Civic and they were able to get me back on the road in just 2 days. Other places were saying 2 weeks.
WARNING ‼Do not come to this place!. Andrew is a very dishonest and disrespectful person who just takes your money. Notice all the cars in his lot which he claims people just never go back for. I paid him a 500 dollar deposit for him to replace a motor on my Honda and the rest was to be paid on pickup. When it was time for pickup he claimed the car wouldn’t turn on yet the car was in working and driving conditions when he received it. He refused to return my car. I had law enforcement go to his shop and he claimed he didn’t have the vehicle and that he assumed I had picked it up since he left it “parked outside his shop” which was false. About 3 weeks to a month after law enforcement went to speak to him my vehicle was left abandoned down the road from his shop. He is dishonest and will mess your car up. Do not come here!!
I just had an engine installed in my daughters 2005 Honda accord and the car is running like new again, I couldn’t be more happier, got it done so fast and for such a good price. 10/10 highly recommend
Been doing business with these guys for a while and they never disappoint always have the motors and swap in stock and they have the best prices in the IE
Read all the 1 star review and see if you want to take the chances!!
Both valve cover and oil pan are leaking within 5 months, apparently they didn't replace any gaskets and seals as promised! The engine condition is terrible and sludge! LIAR!
100% LIE and SCAM!!
I read all the 1-star reviews and thought there might have been some misunderstandings, especially with so many positive reviews, but after my experience, I can confirm that it’s true—this place is a total scam!
I initially contacted them about a 2005 Honda Accord engine swap, and they quoted me $1995, later offering a reduced price of $1799. They sent me pictures of their work, and the engine bay looked pristine, which gave me confidence in their services. They told me that all parts and fluids were included, but when I asked about spark plugs, they mentioned they would charge extra for those, which seemed odd since spark plugs are usually considered part of the engine components.
After dropping off my car, I was reassured by Andrew that everything, including seals, fluids, and parts, was covered. However, when I picked up my car, the engine bay was dusty and oily—nothing like the clean photos they had sent. Upon closer inspection, I found oil all over the subframe near the oil pan, which led me to believe they hadn’t properly cleaned the area after installation.
I cleaned up the oil myself, but two days later, the oil was back. I contacted Andrew, and he asked me to drop the car off again. After a week, they returned the car, claiming they had fixed the oil pan leak. However, when I noticed a new oil leak from the main seal, I brought the car back. Andrew admitted that they hadn’t replaced any parts, since I declined the spark plugs and when I argued with him wasn't it supposed to be included, he told me to find someone else to fix it! I had no choice but to pay extra to fix the main seal.
Reluctantly, I paid an additional $250 for the main seal repair. However, I continued having issues with oil consumption—about 1 quart every 400 miles, turns out it was the engine burs oil and was not just leaking! After more back-and-forth, they replaced the engine, charging me an extra $279 for a radiator replacement with an unknown brand, the Denso radiator I bought for my other Accord only cost $100!
When I picked up the car, it was still oily and dusty, and though the oil pan no longer leaked and the coolant was as clean as water! Charged me $279 and added water to the radiator! None of the seals look like they were changed! And they had broken all the connector clips from the spark plugs to the throttle body. To make matters worse, I’m still adding oil regularly—about 1 quart every 1000 miles.
Overall, this experience has been a total waste of time and money. They did not deliver the quality of work they promised, and I ended up with an engine that burns oil and who knows how long it will last! SHAME on you!!
These guys are very resourceful. They have always come through and are always reliable. Extremely knowledgable and their pricing is always great. I always recomend them when asked about Motors, Transmissions, and general parts.
My daughters 2005 honda Accord engine blew while coming home from work and we were really struggling, we were able to Buy a good low milage engine and have It installed Ford under 2000!!!!
Thanks so much guys
I have been coming here for a couple years now. Bought several engines and the staff here have been very helpful and more importantly trustworthy. Highly recommend honda foreign for all you engine and transmission needs
Bought a customers Toyota transmission from here & it's been running good so far. Good price for engines / transmissions if you're in the Inland Empire. Great customer service & fast replies
Needed a new engine for my dad’s Civic, and they got me one the same day. I installed it, and the motor runs better than the original! Payment was fast and easy, great price, and excellent customer service. Owners even taught me a couple of things I didn’t know. Thank you, bro! Definitely recommend.
I needed an engine swap on my 02 Acura TL for a reasonable price with reliable labor. Andrew and his brother did not disappoint in sticking to their word, "we don't wanna do the same job twice". Its been about 3 weeks now and my car runs good as new. I am very impressed and grateful to be a customer for Honda and Foreign Auto. Highly recommend for any engine needs. Cheers guys
The only place I come to when I need any parts...for any make and model....Just pay the mann.....what he is asking....I bet u no one will Bea his prices
Don't judge a book buy it's cover.
These guys did a amazing job from start to finish! They actually called me a few times to see if I wanted to save money here and there.
I unfortunately needed a new transmission and if your gonna pull the motor out and it has 264k miles you may as well do both if you can afford it. Even tho these engines go way over 300k with proper care.
The best part is it only took a week to do the job! I was amazed, seriously. Got there and everything looked nice, sounded sweet, and the price was right on point.
Thank you very very much for getting my Nissan Altima 2.5s back in action, it's really like having a new car. I put about 500 miles on it and no issues what so ever.
Excellent customer service, always get our engines and transmission from them. Prices are fair and service is amazing. Recently installed a 2001 Toyota Corolla engine for our daughter and now her car is back running and she is able to drive to school again. Japanese engine with low miles, the car feels like a new car again. So much power. Thanks guys thanks a lot
I Was quoted a jdm motor + install. The price was fair not cheap but....
I received a horrible high mile usdm motor that required timing belt, water pump because it was leaking, oil leaks from valve covers, oil pan, oil cooler. All areas that wouldn't leak if a true jdm motor was installed properly.
Dont trust this company! Horrible in every aspect.
They had nothing but excuses and lie about the actual motor.
