These guys are always great they rebuilt my 86 1 ton 2 years ago and I could not be happier. I recently bought 1981 pickup and am going to have them rebuild that one as well. The owners even stayed after hours to receive my vehicle when I dropped it off. Great people and quality work.

I recently was in the market for a JDM-focused garage and luckily, I was referred to this spot. Great workmanship and communication. The engine has gone into the car seamlessly and my ride has a new lease on life. Many thanks to Japanese Engines and Andrew. God bless.

If I could rate zero I would. They are great until you have a problem. I recently bought an engine from them after install noticed it had a bad oil leak. Took it back to have them look at it and get the leak on the motor they built and sealed fixed. We were met with zero help understanding or compassion from them. They say it is a power steering leak although it has been leaking over Friday Saturday Sunday and an hour drive to them on Monday with no level change on the power steering but I have to add a half a quart to a quart of oil to it daily. Mind you the vehicle is driven about 5 miles round trip. Still I am told it is not an oil leak and not their problem if you value your time and money I would not use them. They called the police and had us escorted off the premises.prior to that stated if was an oil leak it was due to the pcv valve that came on the motor but they refused to replace the $3 part stating that the manifold had to be removed. The pcv is on the valve cover and the hose from it mounts to the top of the intake. A minor problem that could have been solved easily it really was the case. Not at all a happy customer.

When I picked up my vehicle, it was leaking antifreeze. They asked “if I wanted it fixed” I said yes and they did it quickly. They have a laundry list of items as to why they are not responsible if something fails. They had a few items on my list of suggestions to repair. One was an oil pressure sender. Upon returning home, I discovered that the oil pressure sender installed was for a light, not the gauge, as my truck has. The sender was also installed over torque. Hard to believe they did not know the difference or check, especially as they pointed out it was not working. Additionally, the alternator was not charging when I picked it up. It could be a fluke thing, but it was working when I dropped it off. They again noted that it was charging lower than it should. Given the issue with the oil pressure sender, it makes me wonder if received the alternator was the one I left it with. Additionally, the brake light is on perpetually. This was not the case when I dropped it off. I was told I could bring it back and they could look at it. I live 4 hours away, so this is not feasible and no restitution was offered to compensate for the time off work to make the trip no even to cover gas or towing expenses related to these items. As an aside, prior to selecting this shop, I asked if they would replace needed items while the engine was out for rebuild. They did call and stare that the clutch needed to be done, which I did, and that the radiator tested ok, but if I reused in and the engine failed as a result, it would not be covered under warranty. I again opted to have this done. However, they replaced no belts or hoses nor asked to replace them. I was a bit shocked to see these items reused as I have never had a shop reuse these parts when doing a rebuild.

Great experience. NOT (KEEP READING-Updated review)Everyone was friendly, helpful, and great. I was given all the information I could possibly need and in writing. In a stressful time of having to do major repairs on my car, they took the stress out. They unloaded my old one, reloaded the new and even.Edit: if I could give them zero Stars then I would. I initially thought this was a fantastic experience the mechanics were very nice and helped me unload and load the engine however 6 weeks later when I have an issue with a part on the engine they sold me they have given my husband the runaround Im three different phone calls so I take a day off I drive up there they yell at me and call the cops on me because they refuse to fix the part that was wrong with the engine they sold me stay as far away from this place as you absolutely can the owner was rude he was hateful he told me I did not know what I was talking about and to have my husband call him he hung up on my husband three times I meant told me to leaveEdit 2: its now costing me over 1000 to fix what needs to be fixed that this company will not.Buyer beware and stay clear.

Paul really KNOWS engines and transmissions. Hes a great guy who wont do you wrong. The guys in the back who change the engines and transmissions ARE THE REAL DEAL. THEY Are Extremely Talented at the most difficult mechanical work in the history of mankind. Thats tge truth!

Great, stand behind their work. Restored my old MR2 and got it driving almost like new. Even charged my AC on a hot day for free so i wont have to drive it home in the heat with no AC. Great to do business with....

Ordered an engine from them with an ETA delivery of 4 days. Got delivered in 10 days, and kept the shop I was getting the engine installed at from continuing business because their shop only has one lift which my car was now occupying. Bad business practices, if there was any other JDM spot in Dallas that has your engine, I highly recommend going to them instead.

The communication is terrible. My son had an engine replacement an hr after picking up the vehicle we had to have it towed back to the shop. They said the fans wasnt working which caused the car to overheat. Seems thats something that should have been checked before the car was released to the customer. Smh.

I have had 8 vehicle engines installed here with only 2 issues which although an annoyance, they were simple mistakes and issues were repaired. Great pricing on the used imported as well as the reman engines. They will continue to be my go to installer.

We purchased a 1999 4x4 Tacoma with a defective 3.4 motor. I spoke with Alex and what a terrific person he is to work with. We agreed on a replacement 3.4 Japanese engine installed at a great price. We towed the Tacoma from Austin to Garland and the truck was ready 5 days later. We drove back to Garland and picked up the Tacoma and drove it back to Austin with no issues to report. The only recommendation he made when the engine was out was to replace the clutch. We agreed, and there is no labor charge since its already apart and you only pay for the new parts. We have put 500+ miles on the truck and we have no complaints. We are very pleased and wouldnt hesitate to do it again if we ever needed to. Alex is a great person to work with and I wish him and his crew the best of luck!

These guys are awesome. They are knowledgeable, experienced, and thorough. I thought my truck would never run again after blowing my head gasket, hoses, and radiator. Im so glad I found Alex and his crew at Japanese & European Motors. I was overwhelmed, looking for another engine for my Xterra but Alex took charge of everything for me, relieving the stress and taking action to help get my truck running again. Carlos and the other mechanics turned my heap of junk back into a clean running, powerful, reliable vehicle again. (It runs better than it did when I bought it 9 months ago- used). Alex kept me informed throughout the entire process, so there were no surprise charges when the truck was ready to be picked up. Great communication with their customers, reliable parts, honest advice, skilled service, and at reasonable prices... THANK YOU!!!

They did a full engine replacement on my 2002 Honda civic for much less then anyone and we had been very happy with the great work. We recently had a problem that several other mechanics couldnt find. Japanese Engines identified the worn Transmission motor mount and fixed it very quickly. My Honda runs and drives super smoothly now.

If you want a good honest group working hard to give you a good deal, check these guys out. They will do their best to take care of you. I have a 98 Toyota with 355k miles on it. Engine blew, and I knew it. I called a few different places, and these guys were hands down the best deal. Be patient and you will not regret it. They gave me a good used engine for an honest price. If anything goes horribly wrong, Ill be back to amend my post. If you dont see an update from me, the 5 star still stands. I plan on getting 355k out of the used engine now. Cheers to this hidden gem. Good luck guys.

Sometimes there are repairs that I wont do. This one was replacing the starter motor on a lexus ls400 which has the starter on top of the engine and is a real pain in the rump to deal with. The work was done at a very good price and the car runs very well. Pleasant and polite, with excellent communication, and a job done right. So if the mechanically inclined uses them, you know they have to be good.

My mother came here to have my engine replaced, and I have had no problems yet! Ive driven almost 2k miles since and no problems regarding the engine so far. I appreciate the hard work these guys put into my car and am so thankful to have gone this long without my car breaking down leaving me in tears all over again.

Excellent work and customer service. I went here to have my daughters engine replaced. I was nervous because I couldnt financially afford any mistakes or sub-par work. The friendly guy at the counter not only gave me a tour of their facility but also quite a, brief but detailed and interesting, history on Japan..

DO NOT BUY MOTORS FROM THIS PLACE!!!! All they do is lie about what motors they have in stock. I called and ask about one particular motor for a Honda they said they have 2 motors. I went there and they said they dont have them! Thats a waste of my time driving 1 hour to get there to purchase a motor that they said they have 2 in stock. Yet, they are trying to sell me a different motor! THIS SHOP CANT BE TRUSTED!!!!! ILL GIVE THEM NEGATIVE 10 STARS!!!!!!JUST TO BE CLEAR! I NEVER SAID 1990 MODEL! I ASKED FOR 1995 MODEL! THIS PLACE REPLIED THAT I ASKED FOR 1990 MODEL.....THEY STILL LYING AGAIN! DONT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS PLACE! YET THEY WANT TO SELL A DIFFERENT ENGINE TO YOU THAT REQUIRES MODIFICATIONS TO MAKE IT WORK!

This review is long overdue. First let me start by saying that Alex is first class. Lets not forget the crew to. Thank you to everyone there. I got recommended to them by my wifes cousin. Our Accord needed a transmission. I ordered a used one from a family friend that works at LKQ in Hutchins, Tx. Alex and the guys there installed the transmission and some extra parts I needed and got my wife back on the road. I did everything over the phone. I need to get down there so I can meet the guys that took care of us. Thanks again for the excellent service.

DONT TAKE YOUR DSM HERE.Im not sure how the mechanics do with the other cars take at your own risk.Alex was a really nice person.I took my eclipse turbo get an engine rebuild had bad piston rings overall wasted $1400.And before installation I took it to my brother in law he messes with 4g63 motors a lot he found multiple mistakes like plates missing from pulley, bolts missing no silicone so all the oil would of been thrown out as soon as was cranked.Then we installed it everything checked out to be good just a weird noise in the motor thought just needed to be broken in. after a thousand miles or so I took off the timing belt cover and saw a piece of metal and saw my timing belt was being scratched.So now I cant drive it before I have to rebuild my engine again...I took it back get it checked out.And they tried charging me for a mistake they did.Motor lasted me about 2k milesWould not recommend 4g63 or any DSM motors here. Maybe other motors take it find outheadgasket blew on me couple months ago either they didnt torque it down properly or who ever did the head didnt do it right
