I have a 97 Camry with a V6 engine. It has leather upholstery and the A/C runs cold. Love the…read morecar. But, it also had 230,000 miles. The engine was burning oil like an old time heater and the transmission died. To replace the engine and tranny would have cost $14,000+ at a dealer or lots more for a new or late model used vehicle. I bought a used Japanese engine and transmission with about 35,000 miles on them from Al at Japan Direct over by Briar Creek Shopping Center. Got the engine, the tranny and installation for $4100. It runs like a charm. The Japanese drivers tend to take excellent care of their cars and trade them in after 3 years, due to the draconian property tax increases at that point. Nobody wants to buy a used car over there because of the extreme property tax so the cars just sit there. The manufacturers do not want to sell the entire cars overseas because it would cut into their new car sales, so they sell them for parts. You can buy a front or back "clip" which is the entire front or back half of a car, or you can buy the engine and/or transmission. Japan Direct goes over to Japan quarterly and runs the engines before buying, then ships them by the container load back to the US of A. This is a terrific deal; I have a for all intents and purposes low mileage "new used" car for relatively nothing. CHECK THEM OUT!!!

Do not order parts from them. Their website said the part I needed was an "exact fit" for my model,…read moreyear, trim, and engine. I got the part and it does not fit and cannot be used. The parts department would not accept a return and refund me the money. I am out hundreds of dollars. Absolutely terrible customer service. They claimed since I didn't give them my VIN in the order, it was my fault. I actually bought the car from them, they have serviced my car, and they have my VIN in their system but I guess that doesn't count. They will take no responsibility for their website incorrectly saying the part would fit my vehicle.

A couple of weeks ago, someone broke into my 2020 Kia in the wee hours of the morning by destroying…read moremy driver side window and damaging my steering wheel post. CJ , with Fred Anderson Kia, was assigned to work with me and keep me updated as the parts were ordered and the work on my car began. I commend CJ for his professionalism and extreme courtesy as he constantly kept me informed. If I texted him a question, he would always respond within a very short time period. If I called him with a question, and he did not answer, he would always call me back within a very reasonable time period with an answer or an update. Today, he texted to say the work was finished and I could pick up my Kia. Since I had been driving a rental through Enterprise, I was able to return it to the Enterprise close to Fred Anderson's Dealership and CJ gave me a ride from Enterprise to Fred Anderson. He went over a few things about the repairs and made a couple of suggestions of a some anti-theft devices I could purchase through Amazon. I really feel CJ deserves a 10 star rating instead of 5. Thank you, CJ for your exceptional customer service. Jan

Dan Miller from Miller Mobile was the man. We had an electrical problem with a Chrysler Town and…read moreCountry that one of the local chain repair shops said would be $600+ to fix. I went to Advance Auto in the Walmart shopping center on Glenwood, and was all set to start parts swapping (start with the battery, then try the alternator), and came out with my battery to find a puddle of coolant under my car. I see Dan chatting with the Advance Auto folks, he sees me, comes out and asks if I need help. We chat, he looks under the car, listens to me, and gives me a reasonable rate and estimate to fix the leak and the electrical issue. He gets the battery replaced (the old one was bad) and has the Advance Auto folks checking the electrical system while I'm going in to get the custom hard pipe hose assembly where the system is leaking. Advance Auto realizes that the alternator is also not producing enough current, and while I'm going in to buy a rebuilt alternator (and a timing belt - while we're at it), he replaces the hose assembly and cleans up some wires that the tie-wraps have rotted away. When I come out, he takes the parts, says he'll be done in 30 minutes. I run to Chick-Fil-A, eat a salad, come back and he's just finishing up. He charges a fair price, I write him a check, and have fixed everything including what may have been broken by the un-named major chain repair shop for $100 less than I would've been charged in the first place. I cannot recommend him enough after this experience. By the way, this was over a year ago, and we've had no major issues with the van since then, so Dan's work held up very well over time.

Called them today and more or less what they said was "how can you prove that it was us". Well, I can't other than I DID NOT HAVE AN Accident with my car.
