Chris and Larry are amazing people and I love em as family. I’ve known them since 2017 and I’m grateful they are in my life. So as most people know, I own the number one repair and engine building shop in Jacksonville, NC and I am always busy and swamped with repairs so it’s important that from time to time there is a company I can trust to take care of my customers when I can’t get to them.
Many times Chris and Larry are less expensive then I am and can do the repairs faster then I can and their work is trustworthy enough for me to send people to them. I know it will be done right and it always has been. Chris and Larry are friendly and always take the time to listen and get to know you. It’s a great trait. So I HIGHLY RECOMMEND JDM Automotive to those in the area because you won’t find anyone better in my opinion.
Excellent customer service-he went above and beyond! They didn’t have the specific part we needed this time but if we ever need something again they will be the first we call!
Went here for the first time yesterday for a ZJ seat to put in my TJ and had a fantastic experience! The gentlemen here are wonderful, knowledgeable, and prices are great! I was even lucky enough to get an infamous ZJ ‘cloud’ seat It’s super comfy! Thank you again, guys! The seat ended up working great! :) perfect height for a short gal like me! I’ll be back in the future for my XJ!! :)
They saved me. I was broke down in dollar general parking lot and stranded with two small children at 9 o’clock at night and they just happened to be going to DG to get a soda and they saw us and came over and helped me get my van cranked. I am so forever grateful!!!!
We were just starting a long drive home from the beach when my van began behaving badly! We drove slowly to JDM. Larry, Chris, and Stan gave us their immediate and full attention. They read the codes but of course, after I shut the van off and Chris turned it back on, it behaved perfectly. They explained what the code/problem could be caused by and what to do next time it happens. My husband and I were so impressed by their knowledge, honesty, and friendliness! If we lived in their area, these guys would be our go-to for auto needs! I highly recommend them!
My wife and I had started on a trip with our 1995 motor home traveling with two other campers, about 150 miles into our trip my engine started acting up and finally coasted in to an college parking lot in Newbern. My two friends and I started searching for the problem, found some bad vacuum hoses and replaced them but that did not help. A lovely young lady at the auto parts store gave me a number to call if I needed more help. I talked with Chris at JDM Automotive & Recycling and explained what it was doing, even though this camper way be older than he is he was able to diagnose the problem on the phone and even sent me a picture of the item which made it easy to find and replace thanks again from a happy camper
Really cool catz. Felt like i have known them all my life. Its cool talkin cars to car guys who kno how to think out side the box. I dig it wen a plane comes together. 97 cobra partz are hard to come by. But they had what i needed. At a super duper price. Thanx fellas. Cobra Cruz
I went here to look around, and the employee who greeted me was nice and then warned me that some people are "shell shocked" by the prices before I went into the yard. I found a part I'd like to purchase, which was an ECU, and the price was $75 as-is no warranty. I was told they use eBay for comps, since that is the case I would certainly rather buy from someone on eBay (with a warranty) so I'm not wasting my money and time if the part doesn't work and additionally I can get it mailed to my house instead of pulling it myself. The value provided does not make sense compared to the price being charged so I declined to purchase.
The yard had some interesting older cars, I suppose if you have a car you literally couldn't find parts for anywhere else this could be the yard to go to, but be prepared to pay eBay prices. If you have a more common vehicle, go elsewhere if you want to save some money or go to eBay since the price is comparable, you'll get a warranty, and you don't have to make a trip to the yard to pull the part yourself.
***Marines need to come here*** Chris, his father Larry and the rest of the mechanics, will take amazing care of you guys. They are very communicative, respectful with your vehicle and personals inside. (Asked permission before searching for my lug nut key) They are upfront, honest and will not take advantage like shops in Jacksonville. My oil cooler and radiator were shot on my jeep jk, they were fast with the turnaround time. They kept me updated through the work they did. Overall great experience and amazing customer service. I’ll be bringing my car back next time.
Chris and Stan were extremely professional and used their welding table to copy an angle on a turbo manifold for me from the old to new one so it perfectly fit in the car. They definitely have the equipment, tools and knowledge to do almost anything needed. Would highly recommend them for any car needs.
Great Quality. Great Price. Outstanding service from some really friendly guys. Chris worked with me to fit into the schedule on short notice and got my car taken care of quickly and for a super reasonable price.
Highly recommend!! We rented a U-Haul to pick up after hours and when the app didn’t work we called the owner Chris and he immediately came all the way to the shop to help us figure it out. Great hospitality, and very helpful!!! 10/10 recommend, I love it here and will come again anytime!!!
Can't recommend this place enough! Outstanding services and great prices! Made sure I had what I needed, and helped me locate the vehicle. The employees made sure I had the tools needed, even offered me some water as it was pretty hot. If they got the part you're looking for, definitely go here.
The best place i have found fir jdm auto part hands down and a very friendly family owned n operated staff ,super helpful and just cool people ... I will definitely be back and highly recommend for any of your jdm automotive needs
These are absolutely wonderful people at this shop/yard. They are more than friendly and fair, and will go above and beyond to make sure you get whatever you need taken care of. We could not have asked for a better savior today.
Can not recommend them enough, i was 100% in a pickle with my car and they came to the rescue. They showed up right when I needed them and assisted quickly with everything that was wrong with my car. Not only were they professional but they made you feel like you were family. Something that is hard to come by nowadays. If i am ever stuck or need any assistance I would contact them in a heartbeat.
I bought a 1990 Ford F-150 5.0 and found that both the exhaust manifolds were cracked. Bought new headers and magnaflow glasspacks for it. Talked to Chris and his dad about what could be done. Real easy to work with and helped me decide what would both sound the best and have some nice power gains. They got the truck done in about 3 days. Not a lot of hum in the cab and whenever you punch it, it sounds real throaty. Accelerates a little faster than stock. I love it and overall happy with service, workmanship, and price. 10/10 would recommend!
Went to school with his son. Best dude ever. He was so helpful and got me exactly what I needed at a great price. 10 out of 10, would definitely recommend
I got my 2009 Mazdaspeed3 worked on here. Overall, the experience was amazing. They walked me through everything they were doing and made sure I was okay with it. The quality of work was outstanding. They let me look at the welds before the put the car on the ground to ensure quality. All of the staff were friendly and helpful with everything. I also got a part and it was very reasonably priced. They were very fast with my job and exceeded my expectations. I will only ever go to this establishment for all of my automotive needs.
Absolutely amazing people to work with. Chris is quite the imaginative guy and came up with the best solution for my muffler delete on my TTRS. Will be going back here for the rest of my exhaust work.
just got some exhaust work done to my 07 wrx. and honestly couldn’t be happier with the results i got from chris doing such an awesome job. great price and and better work done. would recommend going to this shop to anyone
Chris is absolutely awesome! I had my catalytic converter put in and he did a great job with my car I know it wasn’t easy and it did take him some time but I will not ever complain when he never once complained and he gave me a very good price for working so hard on my car. He is amazing and what he does for people whether he knows them or not is amazing. I will refer everyone I know and all of their family members to him if they ever need anything done to their cars . Thank you Chris.
They got a bolt out that other shops told me would cost $1200! This shop is top notch and saved me over $1000 I will continue to go to them for service and recommend them to everyone! Thank you!
I've been around modifying cars since before my feet could reach the pedals. In all that time I've never come across a more down-to-earth, honest and hard-working dude than the owner Chris.
The level of quality and customization that JDM Automotive is capable of easily puts much bigger shops to shame. The care and attention to detail is outstanding while still being more affordable than you're going to find anywhere else.
The hardest thing about moving away from NC was knowing that I'll never find another garage as trustworthy anywhere else.
These guys are amazing I have been doing business with them for about 4 years now I’ve bought parts from them sold them old vehicles and today will be the second they got me out of a tough spot put my truck in a ditch like and idiot and they were there quick to help me out they’re friendly and honest people and can do just about anything you need done with your vehicle... fixing towing scrapping and they’re good at it
I've brought multiple vehicles to JDM Automotive, used them for recycling, dropped off scrap metal, etc., the entire family made me feel like I was a priority every time I show up, not like I was bothering them like other places I've been. When Sears looked at my vehicle 3 times and still couldn't figure it out, JDM had me fixed up the same day I brought it in to them. You will not meet a more honest bunch. Thank you, JDM and keep up the good work!
I was a little hesitant at first. But these are some of the most polite and professional people I've met. Brought my 91 Jeep Wrangler here and it was fixed in no time. One of the few businesses I've been too in Jacksonville that doesn't try to reach deep into your pockets. Definitely plan on going through them again.
I brought my 240sx to get a window switch replaced and within 7-10 the process was done. Troubleshooted and all. Chris and Stan are the first two mechanics that I've meet to be overwhelmingly passionate about their career.
