Anyone deal with Jspec?

[Stamina]

I wwant to buy something from Jspec....but have 2 issues, one they wont ship to Canada, i will ship to the US, then get my buddy to send up here. Two they dont take credit cards....only internation wire transfer. A buddy of mine told me to stay away from them, not cause he has ever delt with them but cause he thinks that its pretty fishy that they wont accecpt credit cards.

Any help is wanted, i really want an item i cant seen to find anywhere else so if you have yay's or nay's for Jspec please let me know.

Thanks

[Nismo240SX]

i have. they're very easy to deal with. no problems at all.

[kensreliableb18b]

dont worry, sam isnt like that. jspec is a go.

sam...he knows he knows...hahahahah

[Dousan_PG]

jspec like jspec.com
??
they are fine to deal with
yeah shipping to caanda sucks, i wont do it to
they dont have to if they dont want to, they can do what they want. usually can find a local or us buyer for the same product.


fishy? hahaha
jspec has been around for almot 6 years and is very well known and the owner sam is a good friend with most of the so cal import 'scene' and such

assuming you are talking about JSpec.com (sam)

[Stamina]

Thanks for the replies guys. Good to know.

[A Spec Products]

that isn't out of the ordinary

we typically wont accept anything except wire transfer from international customers

this is due to the rotten apples unfortunately, who ruin it for everyone else

but yeah like dousan said, if its jspec.com (sam) then you have nothing to worry about in terms of reputation

[S13Koop]

I've dealt with them on serveraly occations with no problems.
They're just no nonsense and to the point.

[psycko069]

yea they are good to go. i actually had to open a paypal account a few months ago so i could pay them for a set of wheels i bought, which sucked cause i didnt want to deal with paypal. but as far as sam and jspec, i had no problems at all.....

[Flybert]

Sam is the man. He helped me out back in the day by loaning me some wheels with tires so I could do a drift comp. He didn't even know me that well but he knew I was serious about tracking my car. I'll always promote him for that very reason. He has good deals on tomei 2 ways and installs too. AHHAHAHA

Sam gets two thumbs up in my book.

[ballr858]

sam is a great guy. i bought suspension parts from him back in the day. very friendly and good customer service.

[Phlip]

I tried to deal with them a couple times, but never got a response from my emails when I tried, so I gave up and bought what I needed elsewhere.

Everyone else, on the other hand, says they're okay to deal with, but I have long since stopped trying.

[420sx]

jspec ftw. got a few nice deals from them

[94cc0rd]

Two thumbs up for Sam and Jspec.
I got my MR Coilovers from Sam almost a year ago and got them cheaper than what they go for brand new these days. Also got several other parts from him and every time, the transactions went smooth.

[ramblux]

I bought a car from Sam -- he's a straight shooter with upper management written all over him.

He's kind of the car parts version of the soup Nazi. Sometimes ya gotta jump through hoops, but in the end it's all good.

[ManoNegra]

I'm with Phil. Got ignored a few times years ago. *shrug* there are enough places out here willing to take my money.

[redsuns3838]

theyve been around for along time so dont worry about getting scammed. i dont really deal with them since same was rude to me. i called and asked what color of a certain brand of lugnuts they had in stock, i forgot wut it was, maybe works?, and he said *youll have to come down and see for yourself* I thought he was joking at first, but he wasnt. he wouldnt tell me what colors they had before i made a 30 minute drive to the shop to find out. so I would rather spend my money at another shop.

but you shouldnt have problems buying from them. i mean theyll get you ur product and all that good stuff.

[Stamina]

he wouldnt tell me what colors they had before i made a 30 minute drive to the shop to find out. .

I thought they were based out of Japan? Redsuns if there is a cali shop could you please forward me some info. I have a friend in cali but she wont know anything about this shop at all.
Thanks

[RTAUTOWORKS]

IF you would to advertise on here, please contact RJF in PM's. Until then, please refrain from soliciting your buisness. Thank you.

[S13SilviaGirl]

Sam is a great guy...kind of a sponsor/mentor for kevin and I. He is awesome. He does travel a lot, wich is the reason it takes a while for him to return e-mails.

and yes jspec is based out of cali.

[justinhustle]

never had a single problem with buying from sam & jspec....

and he even helps out the retarded, like hiring henry o.O

luff ya nitekeeeeds

[drift freaq]

Sam is the man, known him for years. Rule of thumb with him is basically you deal with him his way he gets you what you want and sometimes for the total hook up. The big thing to remember with Sam is. He has been in the game since the beginning. He deals with a lot of people. If he seems short, don't worry its got nothing to do with you. He deals with so many people he does not like to mince words or waste time. He is basically of the attitude that if your calling or emailing him he has what you want. If you can deal with that then he will sell you good product and stand behind it. On top of that if your local and he tells you to come down to the shop do it! You will do yourself a big favor by coming down and meeting the man. He is very cool in person.

[raz0rbladez909]

another +1 for sam, he helped me get the rest of my kouki 180sx aero even when it wasn't listed on the site, really good guy to deal with and i will be purchasing from him again as soon as i need something rare

[S13SilviaGirl]

X 418471247019847128472184712487108412122

He can tell you damn near ANYTHING you could ever want to know about an s-chasis. What works and what dosn't. What looks hot and what looks like ass.

He is a walking encyclopedia for import cars. Go there and listen to the man if he invites you down or you see him at a meet.

[trsilvias13]

isnt there a vendor review sub forum?

[pkw1]

Ya, they just won't deal with you if you're in Canada.. I've once inquired about a shift knob, and I know they don't like shipping to Canada, but I've said I'd really wanted that one and have trouble finding it else where, and I'm willing to pay any additional amounts for shipping, and they just ignore me..

[Stamina]

Can someone please get me a address of this place, or at least what county its in? The site does not list it and i have to send a friend who lives in Cali to go get me a part.
Thanks

[redsuns3838]

stamina, www.jspec.com
like dousan posted earlier.

maybe ill drop by if they open an OC shop. till then im not gonna waste my time driving 40 minutes and wasting gas just to find out if they have the color of lugnuts i want.

[Stamina]

My bad....i was under the impression that this was a store you can go to. Didnt know they are internet purchases only.

[Phlip]

Have you been paying attention?
He does business both ways, locally and through the website... My own experience went the way it did because I am not local enough to have dropped by to get what I wanted. Some of the people that responded positively had that luxury, a couple agree with my experience. All in all, having dealt with a small fraction of the people he deals with for his living, I can see where Sam may be a little jaded and/or short with people, but experience will do that to an individual.

[Ian]

Sam is a very stereotypical asian business man (as weird as that sounds)

He's all up front, no bullshit and not much of an artist with words. He says what he needs to say, period.

Good guy though from my dealings. Sometimes he just comes off the wrong way though.

[Stamina]

Have you been paying attention?

Ummmm yes i have.....and when i asked for an address...i get www.jspec.com for a reply.

I just emailed them to send me the info, thanks for everyones input.

[AWDtoyota]

bump....didn't want to start a new thread...

Does anyone know what's up with jspec.com?

I know on their site it says they are busy. But I emailed them like 3 weeks ago, about some parts I want to order. The I emailed them again last week. I haven't got a reply yet. I even called, but it either rings busy, or just keeps ringing with no answer.

Just want to know what's going on...if any of you may know...

[LB.Motoring]

Sam from Jspec is on zilvia, ask him any questions.


100% Legit.


edit: and bam like clock work.

[Brian]

Sam is the best person in the world.

I do account for the time difference...

But damn....thanks for the lightining reply! Any idea on wait time? Or I can pm you if that's easier....let me know.

[SHIFT_*grind*]

JSpec gave me a stupid good deal on my wheels... :)

[dirtdiggler666]

sam is a great guy

i ordered my wing and got it two days later

super fast kick ass guy:bigok:

[stinky_180]

do you know if jspec sam allows local pick-up? i can't seem to find an address of their facility so i take this as a no?

[jspecusa]

do you know if jspec sam allows local pick-up? i can't seem to find an address of their facility so i take this as a no?

we close our retail store due to many reasons.
1. local guys low balls too much and does not make enough to keep the store going.
2. over 90% of our sales are out of state what's the point of having a store(extreme high overhead).

pick up is still available only to certain items and by appointments only.
on small items we would rather ship it(under $100 items)
on large items we would rather deliver(less hassle of waiting).
if you want to do local pick up please call or email or aim or pm us with what you like and don't do what this guy do and wonder why we don't reply.

I sent you an e-mail regarding the Obake horn button, but haven't gotten a reply. Do you think I could pick it up for $35? Thanks.

[Phlip]

... that is precisely why I stopped trying. It still seems to me that it is mostly the local people who get prompt responses.

Sam, we thank you for clearing the air with that.

[crazyikimasho]

Sam is a good guy to deal with and JSpec is 100% legit. We deal with JSpec on a daily basis.

[EroGori]

I have inquired with Jspec many times and I have had a quick reply.

[Sonic Motor]

jspec is even on AIM!!
Sam @ Jspec is way cool.
Legit seller.

Canada has stupid shipping laws.

Thats why I use UPS ground. :)

Ditto again, since the thread got bumped

[jspecusa]

hey guys,
since lisa and kevin is coming home soon, I was thinking of having
a jspec garage sale/car meet/BBQ and so we can meet up with everyone.
the local socal scene is so different from 2002 we should all get to know eachother and like azndoc says(wink wink at each others).
any ideas or input welcome.
thanks,

sam

[racepar1]

You're talking about jspec.com right? If so they have been around for a LOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGG time! I wouldn't worry too much about their credibility.

azndoc always try to get you like that

"just the tip" he says

no thanks!

[airsoft]

I think your answer has been questioned.

[Brian]

I am down for that!

like the old days!!!

how about we have it at cartune? or krispy kreme off the 60? or life plaza?

haha, old times

probably be at richard's(jdmrice) new shop(six autoworks) since it's got plenty off parking and close to freeway and he's cool with the local cops,
but I can picture newbies trying to show off and do stupid things already(it has a nice turn around the corner) =X
I'll talk to richard as soon as lisa/kevin gets a day to come back.

[azndoc]

I'm down for a Kev and Lisa meet. Sam let's do it. Logan you know you love the "just the tip" game. Don't hate the player, hate the game.

[SoSideways]

Has anyone pulled off "the goat" yet, in real life?

[SinisterSntra91]

Jspec may not do credit cards but they do take paypal, and paypal has a credit card option, which is what I used when I bought my S15 Greddy Gracer front lip and S15 factory fog lights, Sam is a great guy, communication and the whole transaction went smoothly. The parts were in great shape.

[brainfood]

I have personally dealt with Jspec on multiple occasions. Sam is a good guy and has helped me out in the past.

[Aeroscraper326]

Down for the barbecue!

No weak 2008 style though! circa 02' only.
haha

Lets do it!

[94cc0rd]

jspec ftw...

if i ever need anything i just call them up... if they don't answer, sam usually calls me back within 15-30 minutes.

ooo snap son.. but yea.. jspec is very well known but it seems like sam runs it himself... i'm sure he has people helping him out but i could see why it would take a long time to respond to emails and calls and such...

[240love]

my friend is gettin his car done there as we speak

'02 Style FTW.


Also, not like it needs to be said, but Sam is awesome. I've never had to deal with him as anything other than a friend, but I have assisted him in answering questions he's gotten via email (which btw, he gets billions of emails, and most are from people who have no idea what they're talking about or what they want, as well as from people who simply can't afford the things they want.

Anyway, Jspec.com + Sam = WIN.

[Dousan_PG]

kev lisa meet:?

YES long time no see
and
ive been to japan 3 times while they were three and never met up! :(

BTW Sam is way legit. replaced my eurospec s14 headlight after it was destroyed by DHL during shipping. i've bought lots of stuff in the past from Sam and its always been smoooth as buttaaaa!

Will definately do more buisiness in the future.

Just lay out road spikes on both ends of the parking lot. If somebodys stupid enough to do something, they can blow out their tires on their way out after a ricer fly-by...

I saw you at auto salon in '07 but you were being swarmed with like a million school girls in short skirts so yeah, I didn't want to impose on any game you were throwing :keke: But no seriously, I did see you, but it was too crowded to get to you and too loud to yell. Never saw you again... :-/

Hahahahaa, Be like a party .... deposit your keys here, and here is your ticket. You can have them back later....

[flytwa78]

They won't ship to Guam. Or at least consider Guam a domestic destination.

Uhmmmm because Guam is closer to Japan than Cali is... it would be cheaper to order it from Japan directly for you.:)
