Nippon Motors

These guys have cheaply repaired motors that don’t last long. Take it from me, they sold me 2 motors that both went bad within 9 months. They wanted to sell me a 3^rd motor with no warranty! NO WAY! Mario and Lee are unreasonable people and they have no customer service! DO NOT buy from these guys, you will have problems.

I have to dock them 2 stars, though not for engine quality; this experience was poor customer service. The first engine I had from them died, but because the crankshaft pulley came loose and wrecked the crankshaft end. The engine itself was solid and that was an installation error, not Nippon’s fault. The engine actually was impressive, under 4% leakdown loss at 100psi after I put another 41k miles on it. I tried to buy a second engine from them but this time have it delivered to the north end of LA county. They said no free delivery there, despite it being closer than SD where they delivered free last time. Fine, fair enough. On Monday they said a guy could deliver as early as Tuesday. We got our payment arranged and prices and addresses settled and they said they could deliver it Wednesday after work for $ 70 but they never confirmed and guy never showed. The mechanic sat at his house all day waiting for no reason. Then Friday they said sorry, we closed early, blah blah, now the guy can delivery Saturday. We said screw them and went with H motors instead.
