About

Important information

  • Advertising Review:

    On June 27, 2023, BBB contacted the business regarding its website stating the following, "JDM Engines is the largest supplier of high quality and reliable JDM Motors... ."

    According to the BBB Code of Advertising, Objective Superlative Claims

    Superlative statements in advertisements about the tangible qualities and performance values of a product or service are objective claims for which the advertiser must possess substantiation as they can be based upon accepted standards or tests. As statements of fact, such claims, like "#1 in new car sales," can be proved or disproved.

    Unfortunately, the business failed to respond to BBB's request to substantiate, modify or remove the claims.
