About Us
Japanese Motor Inc has evolved from a small business into one of the largest suppliers of used Japanese car engines, transmissions and accessories across the United States, directly imported from Japan. Operating out of North Highlands, California, we have grown from a local shop into a nationwide lifeline for JDM enthusiasts. We stack our warehouse with hard-to-find engines and transmissions, making legendary Japanese reliability accessible to garages across the country.
At Japanese Motor Inc, we act as your personal eyes on the ground in Japan, sourcing clean, high-performing powerplants backed by a 90-day warranty. From daily driver replacements to high-performance swaps, we are committed to keeping Japanese car culture alive with authentic, reliable, direct-import parts.
