About Us

Established in 1975, Japan Engines Direct is a trusted supplier of authentic, premium-quality Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) engines, transmissions, motors, and parts. As an extension of our family-owned parent company in Japan, we provide customers with a true direct-from-source experience built on decades of industry expertise.

Our Japan-based team hand-selects every engine and component, inspecting, testing, and approving each unit before it ships to our U.S. division. This process ensures consistent quality, genuine low-mileage products, and reliable performance for consumers, repair shops, wholesalers, body shops, tire shops, and automotive businesses throughout the United States, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Alaska, and North America. We also support customers across South America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.
