"A Trusted Haven for Quality Japanese Imports"I purchased a sweet Honda Acty (mini van) from them back in 2020 and just got my second gem, a Toyota fire truck in Dec. 2023. Both cars were total winners low mileage and in mint condition, making me feel like I hit the jackpot twice! Eli and his crew are legends in the game, with years of know-how. They make buying a car a very pleasant experience. If you're after top-notch Japanese imports and a vibe that's friendly and pro, Eli's spot is where it's at!

I bought my Toyota Caldina here, very nice people here and the owner is very passionate about cars and happy to let you test drive the cars. All of the cars are in good condition and low miles and they check to make sure everything is working before you buy it. Definitely will come here again if I need another car!

I bought a 1996 toyota prado from them and all I can say is it's like buying a car from a really good friend. They were easy to contact, knowledgeable, friendly, negotiable and fair. I would buy a vehicle from them 10 out of 10 times. They also have a mechanic shop in house to service their vehicles which is a plus.

Eli and his staff are committed to helping you navigate the details of owning an unusual car. Excellent service and commitment to customer satisfaction. Great selection of quality JDM vehicles. Life is to short to drive boring cars, if you want something unique, fun and reliable this is your shop.

He helped me find and import the perfect truck and answered all my questions along the way.If you're looking for an import and need guys that truly care about the quality of vehicle you're getting, check them out.

We had very a straightforward and honest shopping experience with Eli, and they carry amazing product line. They are not newest or high tech, but you can find some vehicle can fulfill your needs in a total different way. You sure want to stop by their showroom to check their huge inventory. Happy car hunting.

I purchased a 1996 Toyota Caldina from JDM Car and Motorcycle and it was just about vehicle buying experience I could have hoped for. Eli and Mike were both very patient and helpful, allowing me to spend several hours and test drive at least four different cars. It felt very low pressure unlike some dealerships.They seem very passionate and knowledgeable towards every vehicle they have on their lot, most of which seem in very good condition with relatively low mileage compared to domestic car dealerships.Additionally, they have their own garage. Before purchasing my vehicle, I asked about the timing belt (despite its low mileage and good condition, it is still a 28 year old car), and was notified that it was original. They offered to replace free of charge, writing a "We Owe" note for me for the job.Overall, very pleasant to do business with them, and I certainly will consider doing so again in the future.

Left with this amazing piece of technology! If you want to get something like brand new, but don't want to spend $40,000, reliable, diesels might just be your thing. Or maybe you want something different, right hand drive, JDM! Love the experience, Greg mechanic is very knowledgeable, and Ilyas has the passion for these vehicles. I will be back, thank you!

Awesome car at an amazing price and a service department to match! This place has quality cars that are ready for the road. I bought a 4x4 van that I could never afford from a local dealer and it was fully inspected and brought up to specs. I hesitated with buying a JDM because of the difficulty in finding a service center and this place has it all. Get one of these sweet rides before they are gone.

We bought have purchased two JDM Toyota vans, an Estima and a Hiace camper from Eli; very easy to work with and the vans were in amazing condition. Would 100% purchase from Eli again.

If you are into JDM cars this place is a mini paradise. I could easily spend hours here just looking around and dreaming of buying everything. I first purchased a kei truck (Subaru Sambar) and the a couple months later purchased a much bigger version (Mitsubishi Canter). People everywhere ask me where I got them and I am happy to tell. Elona helped us with all of our questions and made sure the whole experience was great. All of the staff are very knowledgeable and seem to have a real passion for the JDM import community. Also shoutout to all the mechanics who stayed late to make sure both of my vehicles without a doubt could make the 3 hour drive home. Do yourself a favor and give this place a visit.

Do you enjoy spending nearly 20k on your dream car only to discover it is an unrepairable rust bucket? Do you wish for total apathy and disinterest from the owner of the dealership? Do you want to send your car to the scrapyard after less than two years? Then you ll love JDM Car and Motorcycle.

Picked up a jewel of a Suzuki Jimny with Michael and Eli s assistance. They were extremely knowledgeable, enthusiastic about all things JDM, and generous with their time. Loved the experience and am looking forward to working with them in the future!

I feel so lucky to have this place here in Seattle! They have a really unique selection of Japanese imported cars, all extremely well maintained and well priced. It is a husband and wife who are so kind and knowledgeable of these vehicles. I love my van I purchased and I hope to stay in touch with them. I couldn't recommend them more, not your average car dealership!

We just got our Subaru Sambar from Eli and Michael. Great folks to work with, very patient with our questions and worked with us on a few things we wanted to address with the truck.

We got the Mazda Bongo from JDM last year. What can I say, it's been such a great experience. The van is reliable and drives like a sports car. The purchase experience was smooth. The best part is the service. Greg has helped us from the beginning. We had the van inspected from another shop, and Greg was able to troubleshoot everything. We recently had it maintained after a year and a half, all in good order! Thank you Eli and Greg.

I bought a Honda Acty from them in May of 2022. It was by far the cleanest unit I had seen stateside. They were working on moving further north and out of a small lot. I hope future customers as good of a experience as I had. Through all that I would take your time and ask numerous questions.

Nothing is clean, cars are very dirty and not very well maintained. And also super overpriced compared to other vehicle importers in the Seattle area. By almost double the price. Shop elsewhere.

Eli and his associates go above and beyond to satisfy their clients. Eli and his wife Nora picked me up at the airport and we had a very pleasant conversation on the way to their business.The inventory was impressive to say the least!I have purchased 3 vehicles from them and they have made me feel like family.I dreaded buying vehicles (new or used) until I met Eli, Nora and Greg. It has been a pleasure to purchase vehicles from JDM CAR AND MOTORCYCLE LLC.Greg (Magic) the lead mechanic went over a complete and thorough rundown of all the maintenance done on all of the vehicles that I purchased. He made sure that I understood all the functions of each vehicle.I highly recommend them when you decide to purchase a right hand drive import.I am sure that another import vehicle is in my future and of course, it will come from JDM CAR AND MOTORCYCLE LLC.Eli, Nora and Greg, thank you very much!

JDM Car & Motorcycle is the place to go if you are looking to buy a jdm import. Eli was very respectful and made my buying process enjoyable and I never felt pressured into something I didn t want to buy. Also Kudos to their mechanic Greg who fixed a tricky electrical issue on the Hiace I purchased. Overall I think anyone looking to buy a jdm vehicle will have a positive experience here.

One of the best car buying experiences I ve ever had and I ve purchased many vehicles in my lifetime - from start to finish. They were transparent, and fairly took care of my mechanical laundry list items before & after taking delivery of my vehicle (as they have their own great service department). Their cars are in superb condition including mine. I appreciate their attention to detail and their humbleness is commendable. I am over the moon with my new kei car. Purchase here and here only if you re in the market for an RHD vehicle in the PNW area.

Ilyov was extremely friendly and went above and beyond to provide paperwork, tips and recommendations for a car that they imported 6 years ago! Absolutely amazing customer service and ownership, I m sure that if I bought the car from them directly it would be even more awesome!

This dealership may be small but they have quality JDM cars. Jack and Eli were very courteous and help me get get the Blue Honda ACTY that I had my eyes on watching their YouTube channel. The little kei truck had all inspection paperwork and all appropriate export paperwork from Japan. To my amazement the plates and registration came in the mail exactly 1 week later which normally in larger dealerships I have waited almost 2 months. These guys do a great job posting videos and test drives of the cars they sell. This helped the decision to head to Seattle to check them out. If you are looking for neat, clean, low mileage 90 s JDM cars this is the place. Thank you Jack and Eli.

Ilyas and his team at JDM Car and Motorcycle were awesome. I showed up unannounced on a Friday and ended up spending about 4,5 hours with them and looking at multiple cars including test drives. He was never pushy at all like I was expecting a car salesman to be, actually was very friendly, gave me space and supremely knowledgeable. He has been importing JDMs to different areas since 93' or 96' and it shows. I ended up going another route but wanted to leave a stellar review anyways. These cars are imports and at least 25 years old (due to US regulations) so make sure you do your homework and check everything out yourself as well. There is a wide variety of cars to choose from , ones that are literally almost new and ones that needs some TLC. Do your homework, check them out, and enjoy the experience and expertise.

As a first time buyer in JDM vehicles, I had an amazing experience here. I was never pressured to buy, felt like I was being educated on my purchase, and not sold, and was able to have very friendly dialogue about the very minor issues with the used Toyota Hiace I bought.I was given explicit details about future maintenance schedules, online resources for buying parts, and assurance I can call to get further advice and questions answered about repairs, and any other potential issue I might run in to on my Hiace.You can tell the Owner, and Jack, (the salesman I worked with), definitely like what they do, and have plenty of confident answers about the vehicles they sell.I'll recommend them in the future for anyone looking to get a JDM import.

The actual buying process was great. However the van we bought had a broken alternator which left us stranded an hour from our house with a $600 tow trip and months of run around to get one that works for our vehicle. We called the dealership twice and didn t get much help. The heat on the front of our van also doesn t work and there s a pretty bad exhaust leak. It s very frustrating that we ve had our van for only 3 months and it s been out of commission for 90% of that, not to mention the $1,000+ we have had to put into it right out of the gate. I understand that these vehicles are used and are sold without a warranty but having two major components broken and us having to spend so much money just to drive it...that s not cool at all! I don t believe they would have sold us the van with the knowledge of these broken parts so I think they should test much more thoroughly...
