JDM ENGINE ZONEReviews of jdmenginezone.com

I've alreading made one review but for some reason they want another one..my first review was pretty long, I'll keep this one short and to the point..these guys are crooks..they sold me an engine that was supposed to be a direct replacement, it wasnt..after taking advantage of the 30 day return policy they thought it would be cute to keep $1000 of my 1300 purchase price for their mistake..long story short..keep looking..read a dozen or so of these reviews and you'll understand where I'm coming from..they are crooks and they will rip you off.

Order a supposed engine under 45k miles . Noticed in oil a streak and a piece of plastic in oil pan. They won't even assist unless engine is fully installed. As a mechanic you always inspwct first or your wasting your time installing and then to have to hoist it back out. Turns out the head was warped. Awful and will not ever use them again.

I called and spoke with one of their representatives after finding their listing online and seeing that it was highly rated. I was told that I would be receiving a running EJ253 AVLS engine matching not only what I have in my car currently but also matching the picture listing on the website with no issues and 40-60k miles but would need to replace seals and swap over wiring and accessories. I received a very damaged engine that was not what was pictured on the web listing. The engine I received showed signs of oil consumption from the oil leaking out of the throttle body, the AVLS OSVs and complete timing set/cover destroyed due to mishandling, the was a significant amount of coolant burned onto the top of the cylinder block and heads, the lower half of the motor was haphazardly painted black (likely to hide any severe corrosion), and both the intake manifold and ignition systems (including valve covers) were a completely different design than what is compatible with my vehicle, let alone not matching the description or pictures on the website listing. I attempted to return the engine due to these issues and was told I needed to perform a full engine rebuild and install it in my vehicle FIRST to verify if the engine was damaged. Unacceptable. I was charged for shipping twice and I was also charged a 20% restocking fee because they claimed I "didn't like the way the engine looked", leaving me missing $1000. I communicated to multiple individuals over the phone and over email regarding this issue and not only did no one provide so much as a name, but they refused to stand behind their service or product and just deflected to an incorrect reason for my return. This has been an awful and deceitful shopping experience and I will never recommend JDM Engine Zone to anyone ever.

I returned a moter the guy was VERY RUDE. Then he only refunded HALF my purchase price. He said it was a restocking fee. I have all my paperwork from the first text there was nothing in it about keeping my money. It said I had 30 days to return it I returned it in 15 days. DO NOTDEAL WITH THIS MAN HE IS A THIEF

Got wrong part, was given information that was completely incorrect from their customer service. Take your business elsewhere. It was a $700 lesson learned for me.

Worst company to order from and when calling for questions they are very rude when answering I had to just hang up. They won't refund for the wrong motor.

First gear is shot and reverse goes bang loud noise definitely not from Japan with around 60000 miles is total B.S.

FRAUD! I got a 2013 Subaru Forester engine, spent 2,500$ then another 300$ to get it in. It is throwing all kinds of error messages and makes loud clanking noise and turns on maybe 30% of the time. I sent them the error codes it is throwing me and I tell them it is a bad engine. They want me to fully diagnose the problem myself with the engine, Spend the money to have it taken back out and return it, to only maybe reimburse me for the engine itself which they aren't even going to do.
