First post

I've dealt with Japanoid exactly 3 times, and each time has been a trainwreck.

First time was with a 1994 Delica where one of the brake calipers pretty much locked up while I was driving in New West. Took it in to Japanoid, and asked for a quick quote on replacing the calipers and pads. While I...

Here are my two bits about Japanoid, I got them to do the timing belt service at 112,000 kms recently I wanted to replace the valve cover gasket and noticed that the balancer belt is snaped in 2 at 160,000 kms .
I have also had my brake rotors replaced with Japanoid, this job requires the bearings...

Mardy gave me an awesome deal back in '07 (I think) on my L300.
The van was delivered on schedule and serviced, tuned, ready to roll.

Hi Craig
I thought about it carefully, and there were some definite advantages in getting that Challenger.
All mechanical and body parts domestically available (Montero Sport)
It is somewhat lighter and smaller than Paj, so I should get better fuel economy.

I tried sooooo hard to deal with Mardy as it seemd like he got good reviews.

Hi guys!

One thing I would like to add to the conversation is that any time I arrange something with Mardy IN PERSON, I had no issues and things were done promptly..
It is easy to forget a phonecall or an email if one is constantly on the move. And Mardy certainly is one guys in motion!!

Gentlemen, it all started when I noticed a leak under my 92 LWB Pajero 2.5l, so I went to investigate and found the the lower balancer shaft seal had failed. I started the teardown and thought to myself that once I pull the seal I can get a number off of it and get it cross referenced. This was...

Last post

The differences are;

Different material,
Stronger metal retaining spring,
A third lip for oil retention,
Outer coating of seal case more pliable (aids in the seal staying in place)
Locally produced.

When I first bought my Delica L300 last year, I took it to Japanoid in New Westminster to have 3 things done:

1) change the headlights to North American ones
2) re-attach the reflector strip across the back hatch, which was dangling by the lights on one side (several plastic clips broken)
3)...

Bouquet for Mardy! Bought my LWB L400 sight unseen a month ago. Probably should have done 2nd party inspection but gambled on Mardy's reputation. Been 1000 trouble free kilometers so far, and the (relatively high mileage) Spacegear has been flawless. Mardy has done everything he promised. Great van...
