I own His and Hers auto in elko nevada and have used them several times with good results. If an issue arises which happens with used engines Jimmy steps up and makes it right.

Went here after I needed an engine for my Honda. Prices were below other places I checked, received great customer service, and was shipped my engine fast. Considering I’m not a car person I was really impressed and pleased with how smooth everything went. It’s been over a couple years and engine still going strong. Would highly recommend.

Buyer bewear when purchasing engine from here, double check even triple check you are going to buy the right one. I called thursday morning to see if they had what i wanted and they said yes, called friday morning to confirm again and again they (Jimmy) said yes. I went in person and purchased the engine. I was told it would be here by Monday with free shipping. I get a call today Monday that it was the wrong engine and they have to reorder from LA and it would be here by Wednesday. Now i have no engine and my car is still at the shop pending engine and im getting charged these additional days. Now i have to cancel my order and buy from another place. What a waste of TIME. I wil never recomend anyone to this place.

I purchased a brand new engine from them fully assembled in 2014, and personally hired a MASTER ASE to perform the installation, but shortly after the installation process my engine is LEAKING OIL, after witnessing this when I was called to the shop, I am forced to request my mechanic to UNINSTALL the engine, after the uninstall I am shown in the digital images, and again at the shop, of the precise outlet of the OIL LEAK, rather than make the same mistake again, and swap it for another JAPAN ENGINE, I proceeded with a REFUND, of which was processed, but at the EXPENSE of delivering the engine back, and at the COST of my mechanic installing and uninstalling the engine, an overall SERVICE COST of over$ 1600.00 plus $ 300.00 for back delivery for something I was at no fault of. It was the one-time my friend gave me VERY GOOD ADVICE ahead of time, of which I did not heed to, that I ought to never purchase a BRAND NEW ENGINE anywhere but from an OEM FACTORY.

Recently went here with my husband to get a used engine for my car. The person we talked to at the front (I think his name was Mike) was very informative and gave us a great deal. Will be coming back here for our future car needs.

Recently bought a transmission for my ridgeline, there was great service and a good price. Overall I recommend this place for anyone looking for a JDM engine or transmission.

Ive ordered from them a few times and i have always had good customer service. They always shipped me good quality parts. Their low review is undeserved.

I purchased from them in the past when they were located in Oakland for my 1999 Acura Integra GSR. The motor ran for another 50,000+ miles, ran great. No complaints.Went back to them for a 2001 Honda Accord 2.3L automatic transmission. I purchased a rebuilt unit since the original transmission was slipping out of gear. Im back on the road so all is good.

FOR 3 WEEKS NOW I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET A REFUND, FOR A TRANSMISSION THEY SOLD ME THAT FAILED AFTER 4,000 MILES. EVERY TIME I TALK TO THEM THEY TELL ME THEY WILL HAVE PICKUP INFORMATION EMAILED TO ME THE NEXT DAY FOR 3 WEEKS NOW. IF YOU NEED A TRANSMISSION OR AN ENGINE I KNOW A BUNCH OF PLACES IN CALIFORNIA! HIT ME UP AND ILL TELL YOU WHERE TO GO AND ITS DEFINITELY NOT HERE! IF YOU DONT BELIEVE ME CHECK OUT THEIR YELP REVIEWS AS WELL

Will update after issue is resolved or not as to inform future customers considering buying an engine from this company. My stance currently would be to source somewhere else if you need a reliable engine.

BIG MISTAKE ! I bought a short block from them due to the fact that the cylinder head was rebuilt and the old engines rings did not pass a leak down test ( meaning it will burn oil ) . I follow their instruction to change the oil in 500 mile due to reman. engines will burn a little oil during break in . customer takes car and comes back in 500 for its oil change . Only to find out the engine burned 4 quarts of oil in 500 miles ! Reschedule time for them to bring their car back so I can pull the engine ( by this time the vehicle has had 6000 miles on its engine ) . . Customer returns I contact japan engine, the first thing they say is your out of warranty ( their warranty is 12 months/12,000 miles )

Really bad customer service. Kind of amazing how bad it is actually. I was skeptical about how bad the reviews were but the way they treat their clients is unacceptable. First Google search I did on Japan Engines brought up 8 horrible reviews so its not like they dont know about their service issues. I guess they really dont care.Extremely rude over the phone. Delivered the wrong parts. My fault for buying after reading these reviews.DO NOT BUY!

Aweful. We bought a used Toyota motor from them and 20 months later (only 15k miles!) We need to replace head gaskets. Spoke to Joe, he said check the heat tab by the manifold to see if the engine was overheated. (suggesting they may help) Once we inspected the heat tab and confirmed the customer did not overheat the motor, Joe said he couldnt help. Now we have to buy the customer an new engine and eat the labor. Thanks Japan Engines for totally screwing us. And by judging the otherstellar reviews on Google, screwing the consumer is the only thing they do well.Never again.

I bought an engine from this shop and had it installed one year and two months ago. On Sunday the thing started running rough and the engine light came on. I parked it, and on monday started it up to take it into the shop and white smoke was coming out the exhaust pipe which I had not noticed before. I took it to the dealership and they confirmed that the headgasket is blown. Japan Engines offered to sell me another motor because this one is only covered for one year. They also tried to convince me that it had overheated. This looks like standard operating procedure for this company.

I bought an engine and it did not work they gave me another engine and it does not work either and since the warranty has passed they no longer want to give me another engine, do not buy pure thieves with this company
