When your engine fails, you don't have time to gamble on a worn-out motor with a mystery history. At JDM Elite Motors, we supply low-mileage JDM engines, transmissions, and Japanese import parts straight from Japan to drivers and shops across Kent and the greater Puget Sound region. Whether you're a daily commuter trying to get your car back on the road or a repair shop sourcing a dependable replacement for a customer, you can walk into our Kent warehouse, see the inventory in person, and drive away with a motor that's already been compression-tested and inspected by our in-house mechanics.

In-Stock JDM Engines and Transmissions

We carry a wide, constantly rotating inventory of JDM engines and JDM transmissions pulled from low-mileage Japanese vehicles. That includes popular Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Subaru, Mazda, and Mitsubishi powerplants, plus the matching manual and automatic transmissions to go with them. Because our stock changes as new shipments clear, the fastest way to confirm a specific engine code or transmission is on the shelf is to call +1 253 480 9123 and ask. If we don't have your exact unit in Kent right now, we can tell you what's inbound. You can also browse our current lineup online to shop JDM engines or shop JDM transmissions before you visit.

Why Local Buyers Choose JDM Elite Motors

Buyers across Washington come to us because we cut out the guesswork. Every engine and transmission we sell is imported directly from Japan, where vehicles are typically retired early and the used motors that come out of them carry genuinely low mileage. We don't just unload crates and resell — our expert mechanics meticulously inspect and compression-test each unit in-house before it ever reaches a customer. For the local driver who just needs their Honda or Subaru running again, and for the independent shop that can't afford a comeback on a customer's repair, that hands-on testing is the difference between a clean install and a headache. You're buying from people who actually looked at the engine, not a faceless listing.

Low-Mileage Inventory, In-House Inspection, and Warranty

Low mileage and careful inspection are the foundation of what we do, but we also stand behind eligible units with a written warranty. Non-performance engines and transmissions that qualify come with a 90-day limited warranty, while eligible performance engines — turbocharged, supercharged, VTEC, VVL, MIVEC, and similar — carry a 30-day limited warranty. Coverage applies to internal mechanical failure only, and installation must be performed by a licensed professional to keep the warranty valid. Please note that rotary engines are not covered under warranty. You can read the full terms on our JDM Elite Motors warranty policy page before you buy.

Areas We Serve Around Kent, Seattle, and Tacoma

Our warehouse sits in Kent, which puts us within easy reach of the entire south Sound and east side. We regularly help buyers driving in from Seattle, Tacoma, Renton, Bellevue, Auburn, and Federal Way who want to inspect an engine in person before committing — and we ship JDM motors nationwide for those who'd rather not make the trip. A Renton driver replacing a blown motor, a Tacoma shop sourcing used Japanese engines for a fleet customer, or a Bellevue enthusiast planning a swap all end up at the same place: our Kent counter. If you're searching for Japanese engines near Kent WA or a JDM engine supplier in Washington, you're in the right service area.

Local Pickup in Kent, WA

Local pickup is one of the biggest reasons buyers choose us over ordering blind online. Our address is 22630 88th Ave S, Kent, WA 98031, easily accessible from both I-5 and SR-167, so the drive from Seattle, Auburn, or Federal Way is straightforward. When you arrive, you can see your engine, ask our team about mileage and condition, and load up the same day during business hours. We're open Monday through Friday 9AM–5:30PM and Saturday 9AM–3PM, and closed Sunday. Call ahead at +1 253 480 9123 so we can have your unit pulled and ready when you pull in.

Engine Swaps and Fitment — Ask Before You Buy

A lot of our customers aren't just replacing like-for-like — they're swapping. Before you purchase, talk to us about your vehicle's year, chassis, and the engine code you're targeting so we can help you confirm compatibility and flag anything you'll need for the install. It's far cheaper to sort fitment questions out over the phone than to discover a mismatch in your driveway. Reach our team and we'll walk through your specific setup. Contact JDM Elite Motors or call to get started.

Every engine is compression-tested before it ships, and financing is available to help spread out the cost of your purchase.
