Recommended importers for JDM cars

With the various threads about which JDM importers to avoid, interested in understanding which ones are recommended locally.

I found jdmconnection, which has good reviews, but they are located in Edmonton, so prefer to deal with one in Vancouver.

TIA

I've used jdmconnection twice for my personal vehicles. Dealt with William through e-mail, picked up my cars at Annacis Island and was on my way.

Super easy, would recommend.

Here's more information about the accusation between the two parties: http://www.revscene.net/forums/69897...b-threads.html

Pacific Coast Auto also has a Youtube channel if you want to see how he checks outs his customers' cars: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCo0...okFfUbf8ECJkAw

Here's a list of just about every JDM importer in Canada and US, along with a number of Japanese-based exporters https://www.jdmbuysell.com/dealers/
