This is the place to get a clean low mileage Jdm engine I am an auto repair shop and I do quite a few engines here when it comes to getting a good Japanese engine thus is it I never had to remove and replace one of there engines a second time and believe me as a shop owner we can’t afford to do the job twice and even more the prices are a lot lower than the junk yards out there Ty

When I'am looking for a clean low mile engine I usually start with JDM Engines Chicago. I have had nothing but good luck with the long blocks purchased and its always a quick n easy transaction. A little re-search goes a long way!

Business sold me wrong transmission easy mistake since I didn't realize there where two varations for my year vehicle. Drove back 3hours to exchange for the correct one. Then charged 300$ more than advertised price for correct one. Just seems like someone is always trying to scam everyone. I have done business before without a issue. But I will not anymore in the future and will tell friends not too

Purchased a Honda K24 engine. Dropped in a Honda Element and it runs like a top. All cylinders had great compression and compression was almost exactly the same across all of them. Solid cross hatching in all cylinders, no vertical marks. Valves looked pristine. Took the valve cover off and everything looked brand new. This was a very low mileage engine.Only complaint is they are more expensive than other Chicago JDM dealers and my engine didn't have an alternator. Doesnt matter though. This engine was totally worth the cost.

BE CAUTIOUS! I came to this place to purchase a Nissan QR25DE engine and the owner Mike sold me a QR20DE as a 2.5L. The stamp on the engine was a 2.5 but it was a fake 2.5. After I getting the engine installed I test drove it for a week but it did not feel right. So I did a bore test to measure the depth of the engine stroke and it was a 2.0. I went back Mike to let him know he sold me a 2.0 vs a 2.5 and he insisted it was a 2.5. He finally agreed to exchange the engine for a 2.5 and I had to test the engine to make sure that it was the correct engine. I would not trust this business. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

Guys, beware! Engine was knocking right from first start up. They say 30 days warranty but in reality there’s no warranty.

If you are reading this please do not waste your time with going to look at a JDM engines Chicago there staff are out to scam you. Went to go pick up an engine they had on their website for months and the price listed on there website was $2,100 so I called to verify the price and the employee on the phone confirmed that the price was $2100. 6 hours later after getting off work me and a buddy took the hour and a half drive to go pick it up and when we got there they already had it pulled out of the stock and ready for us to take. This is where the issues start to happen when we where looking at the engine we noticed it wasn’t even the one they had pictured on there website, the one pictured was super clean and looked like it was pulled nicely not just cut out of a car with a hacksaw and the one they had was super dirty. But we still wanted it because it doesn’t take much to wash it off lol but when we went to pay, there salesperson wanted more than what he confirmed on the phone 6 hours earlier the same day!! There warehouse is a mess with engines just laying around everywhere. Before going read all the reviews and get an idea of there Business, I’m not the only one who had a bad impression by them.

Read the other reviews and don’t take them lightly. I thought I’d give them a chance and they tried to sell me a $2,100 paperweight. Engines all hacked out of the car, cut wiring harnesses, etc. Don't waste your time and especially not your money with these guys they do not care about you or your engine

They lied to me about my engine, sent the the vin # and engine # they gave me the price and when I got there they wanted to give another engine for a different price, I do no recomend this guys. they buy used engines here at the junk yards wash them and sell them as imported fro japan, when I was there he made a deal with a junk yard to pick 2 motors in good shape I heard. I send them a email about how much more for the engine I needed and they never replied back.

Please read and be forewarned. This company is subpar and will try and cheat you if at all possible. I bought an engine from this company only to find out later it was in fact an inferior engine (both in horsepower and displacement) to the one I paid for, but was made to "look" like the correct engine. I purchased on trust and ignorantly went into this purchase thinking they will value and respect me and provide me an honest product. Please don't take this review lightly as litigation is the only way to deal with JDM Engines Chicago in obtaining your money back. From experience, when they are called out on a fraudulent issue, they deny any knowledge and claim they don't know much about engines. They place blame on the customer instead of correcting their error. Don't take all the negative comments for this business lightly and perhaps think that you will be lucky based on your knowledge or experience. There are other reputable jdm engine suppliers in the area, pass on this one. This place is not worth your hard earned money. I hope to avoid any person from dealing with the headaches I encountered with this business. God bless and stay safe.

I bought an absolute trashed engine, dead in cyl 1. I didn’t get to the project till a week after the measly 30-day warranty due to moving shops (which is fine). What I’m upset about is the owner lied to me stating they compression check every single engine that they sell... I was willing to buy through him again if we could’ve haggled something up. He kept it short and basically told me to kick rocks lol

Had the engine we wanted and offered us a bit of a discount due to some damage. Of you're looking for a Japanese car engine locally this is the place to go.

Bought a type r h22 that had "verified" great compression. The engine i received had zero compression on cylinder two. Contacted them because I was within the 30 day warranty and was told I was on my own. Take your money somewhere else.
