Shipping & Local Pickup
JDM Alliance LA is a local Los Angeles JDM engine and transmission importer, based at our warehouse in Vernon — minutes from downtown LA. We built our shipping around local buyers first: drive in, inspect the actual engine, and take it home the same day.
Free Local Pickup
Pick up any order free at our warehouse: 5993 Malburg Way, Vernon, CA 90058. Inspect the exact unit before you load it — what you see is what you get. Call (442) 888-0318 to set a pickup time.
Free Local Delivery — Within 50 Miles
We deliver free within about 50 miles of our Vernon warehouse, covering most of LA County, Orange County, the San Fernando Valley, and the near Inland Empire. Add your ZIP at checkout or call and we’ll confirm.
Free Delivery on Engines Over $3,000
Buying a higher-value engine? We’ll deliver it free within about 150 miles on any engine over $3,000 — reaching San Diego, Santa Barbara, and much of Southern California. Call us to arrange it.
Nationwide Freight — Flat Rate by Region
Outside our local area, we ship engines and transmissions by freight across the continental US at a flat rate based on your region. East Coast importers quote a week to reach the West — from Vernon, the entire West Coast is one to two days out:
| Destination | Flat rate |
|---|---|
| Local pickup (Vernon, CA) | Free |
| Local delivery (within ~50 mi) | Free |
| Engines over $3,000 (within ~150 mi) | Free |
| Southern California, Arizona, Nevada | $200 |
| Western US | $275 |
| Central US | $325 |
| Eastern US | $400 |
| Residential delivery (add-on) | + $100 |
| Liftgate service (add-on) | + $85 |
Residential addresses without a loading dock or forklift add a liftgate fee so the freight can be lowered safely. Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico are quoted separately — call for a rate.
Inspect Before You Sign
On freight deliveries, inspect the packaging for damage before you sign. Note any damage on the delivery receipt — once it’s signed clean, the freight carrier is released from liability. Full terms are on our Warranty page.
