JDM Connection

I am happy to be writing this review and would definitely recommend William for his services. He helped me import a GTO from Japan and helped me with figuring out what exactly I could expect within my budget. I can say with confidence that I got a sound car as I am writing this review after having driven the car everyday over the entire winter in Edmonton - after doing some basic fluid changes and maintenance and never had any hiccups. Here is some more information about my journey: I was informed about upcoming bids and even advices to stay away from some cars because of rust issues. Before the auction I was shared some auction pictures and William even arranged for some proper pictures from inside and out of the car. Once the bid was won I was asked to make the payment for it and William handled all the paperwork. The best part about this was all I had to do was send William the payment and he took car of all the paperwork and formalities. I will add that the car didn't have the best paint and I was informed about it in advance, and was told that the car is mechanically sound - which after doing some preventative maintenance on it I can confirm. Keep in mind this is a 28 year old car so it wasn't perfect and new. The car did sit for a few months in Japan before getting a spot on a ship to Canada. He also shared the ship/vessel details and handled all customs paperwork and provided me with the export certificate. William also helped me with arranging shipping of the vehicle to Edmonton at a local shop. I would definitely be looking forward to importing more cars through William!

I recently imported my third vehicle from William, a 2008 Honda Fit. While it did take a little longer due to the shipping delays out of his control, he managed find me a really solid car. The car actually came with a part that was originally advertised as missing, which was a nice treat. I drove this car home 12 hours from Vancouver to Edmonton and it might as well have been a 2024 to me, because it felt so solid. William provides me with a great sense of peace of mind with this process. I would be willing to import the next car I purchase in the future as a return customer. Thank you kindly again

I just recently purchased a 2003 Crown through William over the New Year/Christmas. Even with the busyness over the holidays he got my vehicle to me in very ample time! He was also very patient with me through the process, even answering questions about the vehicles I was looking to buy, not just about the import process itself. All around it was a very comfortable and accommodating experience, the only downside seems to be that William is an elusive man. At times he is hard to reach, though I never had a question go unanswered. This is very easily excused though, as his quality of work speaks for the silence. Much respect for the work you do, I’ll be back!

Since the mid-2010’s I’ve imported over 10 vehicles with JDM Connection. Simply put, William is the most knowledgeable, helpful, and trustworthy business owner I’ve dealt with in this industry. Take his advice, ask questions, and you’ll be very pleased with the product you receive. Fantastic cars, from mild to wild.

I’ve went through this importer for the last 5 vehicles and never once had any issues especially the vehicles he imported for me. When I asked if he’s able to import a 05-09 Hilux from Thailand he said absolutely, it did took some time to get the proper paperwork due to changes from the Thai registries department at the time. But after that got figured out we started looking and found the vehicle, he got it checked over to make sure the condition match the pictures and it did. He got videos of the vehicle running as well before purchasing. I want to thank William for sourcing the truck that I always dream of owning, will definitely be continuing my business with this importer in the future. Keep in mind this truck is not equipped with heat only a/c, a shop called 4 wheel auto in Edmonton Alberta can help you source the parts you need to convert it to HVAC which is very simple to do.
