Spoke to Chicago JDM about purchasing a replacement motor. They were quick to answer all questions and compression tested the motors that were available, allowing me to choose which one I wanted. Motor was advertised as low mileage and had 220psi across, but the motor was even cleaner internally than I expected. Piston tops looked new (I performed a head swap) and the motor had nearly new bolts throughout (gold in color). Nothing was broken on the motor, either. James was excellent and answered all of my questions as well as my brother’s questions about a motor for his car. He loaded it in the van and continued to answer questions. You can’t ask for better service than that.

Good people to deal with

These are the Guys, from some wild Gtzr engines, to Prius and of course a ton of Subies.

Best customer service and price.The engine is running like brand new.Thanks Chicago JDM.

Great staff, very smooth transaction, highly recommend getting any JDM parts from here.

I got my engine from this location. They have the best engine, service and price I have every seen.Thanks.

Good fair pricing !

Purchased several engines and transmissions here. They always do their best to provide excellent customer service. Even if there is an issue with one of the products They help you out to make it right.

Purchased a motor from them on 10/28/2017 asked them if it was compression tested they said yes, installed it into my vehicle. We could not get the vehicle to turn over. We double checked everything. We finally did a compression test to see if the motor was any good. It failed. It was only able to get up to 20lbs of compression. Called them and they said there nothing they can do. It’s after the 30 day mark. Good luck buying a motor from here. The best thing I can tell you is have them do the compression test in front of you for you can see that it holds compression if not don’t purchase a motor from them. Good luck they took my $605.00.

Avoid at all cost. They sold me a bad motor and refuse to fix the problem. They refused to write the receipt for the actual amount I paid. Wost experience Ive ever had with a shop.

In and out with what I needed...

This place is nice, they have every Japanese motor you can think of, its a jdm enthusiasts heaven. They have great prices and load the motor into your car for you. 5 stars all the way.

Great place to buy a JDM engine from. Bought 2 engines and did not have any problem with any of them. Dont know why these individuals are leaving bad reviews . Awesome guys. Will buy from them again.Thanks.

Great staff,quick response and readily available to assist.. great products and prices

Have to say dealing with this company was the biggest headache, I have ever had. language barrier was the least of my problems. They have a lot of motors in stock, only god knows how many of them are runners. They sold me the motor telling me good compression, motor did not run and they would not honor their 30 day warranty.

Great place, picked up a subaru trans over a year, runs solid still. Quality importer

Bought an engine for my daughter a year ago, and then had to get a transmission. Cool ppl just sellin engines and trans.

3 for 3 so far, knowledgeable people running the show!! Two transmission swaps and 1 engine with no problems!!

Great quality engines and transmissionsCustomer service is excellent!

Great service, loaded engine for me and was out the door in less than 20 minutes.

Liars who will ignore you if you bring up any problems. Do not give them your business.

Called the place before I went there asked specifically if they had a 02-05 wrx manual drive shaft and made sure that he knew there was a difference between the auto and the manual. He said yes they have some. So I told him Id be there in a bit. I drove 40 min to the shop. They Didnt have any of the Subaru drive shafts pulled out. Then after about 15 min of him looking through the driveshafts they didnt even have the right one. So needless to say I wasted over an hours worth of driving and time to get nothing when all they could have said is let me check and get back to you.

Good

Nice place to buy engine very organized place and friendly guys

I purchase many engines from here always lowest mileage than anywhere I can find. never had a problem great company to buy from best prices youre going to find anywhere

Great awesome ans frendly environment exelent

Best place to get motors from. Quality and best prices. Wide variety to choose from.jdm engines chicago in Elk Grove hurt peoples peoples pockets and have leaky motos. Prices thru the roof.I recommend anyone to come to Chicago JDM in Franklin Park. The first, true and original people to supply Chicago and surrounding area with the very best of JDM from the motherland.

We purchased and installed a used engine on 8/15/16. TOTAL GARBAGE MOTOR. Car could not be driven or it would overheat. Coolant is getting past the cylinders on the left side, no compression in cylinders 2 & 4, and very weak compression in cylinders 1 & 3. It took 11 weeks for Chicago JDM to allow the engine to be dropped off for repair - after giving us the obvious run-around by lying, delaying, dodging, and not returning phone calls. We had to go to pickup the engine a week later and be further inconvenienced. Upon installation the 2nd time, the engine wanted to overheat just as severely. We were told the piston rings & head gaskets were fried and the shop they hired for the repair told us the motor was junk and they didn;t know why Chicago JDM was selling it to begin with. It obviously has waayy over 60k miles on it. Now, 4 months later, Chicago JDM is STILL refusing to honor their waranty. UPDATE 2/23/17: 6 months later my car is still SITTING at the shop and they refuse to fix it

Friendly and very helpful

Bought a motor for my Acura, super deal + service. I will be back with my friends :)

Got a great transmission for a great price.

Good stock of JDM PARTS

I bought a motor from them a couple weeks ago and the head on that motor is not getting any oil. They were making excuses saying that the swap was not done right. Do not trust these guys.

Sam is great help
