JapWestMods

Muz at Japwestmods is the man, I’ve had 2 cars from Japwestmods now, one beautifully clean vertex s15 and my current spirit rei s13, which really is one of a kind massive props to Muz for helping me get this car from Japan, unlike most importers who go through cheap auction sites Muz handpicks private sale cars in Japan which makes that extra special feeling when buying, he even flew out to japan to FaceTime me around my new car!!! Can’t recommend enough, whether it’s a drift/show car you want or niche rare jdm parts he’s your man, just remember things take time to arrive from Japan...but good things come to those who wait! ❤️

It took me in total around 200 days to get my money back off them. Don’t answer the phone or respond to emails, had to ring Carson performance (they’re on the same industrial estate) on multiple occasions to see if they were even still open. Would be quicker to drive to japan and pick the parts up yourself. Would still have time for a holiday there while you’re at it

I tried to put zero stars but I couldn't. It's the worst experience I have ever had with online shopping. Still trying to get my money back after 3 months. I can't understand how these people there own and "run" a "business" . We talking about professional scams .

Honest & unsponsored review of the importation of a car from Japan through JapwestMods.
The whole process was slower than expected, I was told around 8-12 weeks, the actual figure from full payment to first drive was 22 weeks.
After full payment it took 7.5 weeks for the car to be loaded onto a vessel at Yokohama. The plan was to pick the car up when the V5 arrived to me, but after waiting so long, I decided to pay a third party transporter myself to bring the car to me.
I feel not enough information, pictures and videos were sent to me before full payment. Some of said information & critical details I am still waiting for, and will never receive.
The spec list I was given about the car was basic, and also incorrect. The milage was wrong (its actually lower than quoted) and also the car is 2 years older than I was told.
MOT was completed with a "temporary fog" as I was waiting for Carson Performance to fit me a fog into the factory position, however when I had the car collected it wasnt done, so I question if a temporary fog was even used, as there were other (small) things on the car that shouldnt've passed an MOT. The keys were handed over to my car recovery driver, and the car was loaded and taken away, without anyone questioning it/contacting me to check that I had actually arranged this.
The car had a flat tyre and was dirty when collected, it was cleaned on collection from the port, but I think they should be cleaned prior to collection instead.
It also had literally nothing inside, no paperwork, details, information, parts etc and also the gear knob was (and still is) missing.
I was going to have to drive my new dirty skyline home for 3 hours with no gear knob and with a slowly deflating rear tyre, not the ideal experience.
Overall the car is amazing and I am very happy with it, and would have struggled to get one without JapwestMods.
My advice is, do as much research and get as much information as you can (pics, videos, paperwork & proof) before making your mind up and sending the full amount.

Maz imported a cube bumper for me at the start of the year, the price was very competitive.
He kept me well informed and let me know when there was a delay, which there generally is when it comes to shipping stuff from Japan.
The Bumper arrived in good time and in 1 piece.
Great service, thank you.

Do not go for any services to this company. I’ve been here with my 96 2jz supra for some mods and extra bits and bobs, money left, car left. Over £4,000 spend in andvance and nothing. No results. Arrived back with the car not even touched. Just scamming and theft. Steer away! Better get it done at your local Polak shop!

Really poor experience with JapWestMods.

Order taken, money paid in - yet nothing delivered months on. No answers, no refund, nothing. Stay away like the plague.

Desperate situation. They were ok before this pandemic but now they seem quite happy to take your money and hope that your order comes through in the next TWO YEARS or so! They need to tell people this upfront and provide proper invoices. Everyone is struggling right now so it's no it fair to keep using that excuse over and over.
