JDM ENGINE ZONEReviews of jdmenginezone.com

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.

There was no cushion wrap on the top/turbo area of the motor and the turbo housing and oil fill cap got broken. The billing information went to the shipping location. The billing address was separate from the shipping address when ordered.

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

Engine shipped fast and arrived as expected.

Motor runs good but had standing water under fuel rails, damaged oil pan and oil return line. Had all kinds of dirt and wood in the coolant lines. But started right up and runs good!

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.

What and see when engine is installed and running

I had a great experience and even though I lost my cool, Carlos held his composure to give that great experience. Would like to apologize for my erratic behavior to Carlos who did nothing but be professional. Again I would like to apologize since they're is no excuse. Thank You
