# JDM Hotness > Owner-operated specialty auto workshop in Colorado Springs, Colorado, dedicated to Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) and right-hand-drive (RHD) imports.

These are cars built and sold for use inside Japan rather than exported new to the United States. They are right-hand drive, and they often use engines, trim, electronics and part numbers that were never offered here. That is exactly why a general shop struggles with them: the service data, the diagnostic connectors and the replacement parts are all different. JDM Hotness is built around those vehicles specifically. - **Do you work on right-hand-drive imports?** Yes. Right-hand-drive imports are the core of the shop. JDM-spec and RHD vehicles are what JDM Hotness is set up for, from routine service through complex repair. - **What kinds of Japanese imports do you service?** Kei cars, JDM sports and touring cars, and imported off-roaders and utility vehicles, including unusual imports like Japanese fire trucks and vans. Cars that have come through the shop include the Nissan Skyline R32, Toyota MR2, Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution III, Mazda AZ-1, Honda Beat and Suzuki off-roaders. - **Where are you located, and what areas do you serve?** JDM Hotness is based in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and serves Colorado Springs and the surrounding area, roughly a 60 km (about 37 mile) radius. Call or send an estimate request to arrange a visit. - **Can you source OEM or hard-to-find parts from Japan?** Yes. Parts sourcing is one of the shop's core services. JDM Hotness sources OEM and hard-to-find parts through overseas networks, which is often the difference between a JDM car being repairable and being stuck. If you have a part number or a photo of what you need, send it with an estimate request. - **Do you work on diesel engines?** Yes. Diesel engine maintenance, repair and tuning is a standing service at the shop, separate from the JDM and RHD import work. - **Can you inspect an import before I buy it?** Yes. Pre-purchase inspection is one of the service types on the estimate request form. If you are looking at a JDM or RHD import and want a specialist's eyes on it before money changes hands, request an inspection through the form. - **How do I get a quote, and how long does it take?** Submit the estimate request form with your vehicle and service details, or call the shop directly. Estimate requests get a reply with a scope of work and pricing within 24 to 48 hours. - **Do I pay anything before work starts?** No. Nothing is charged and no work begins until you approve the scope of work in writing by e-signature. The estimate form is a request, not a binding work order. - **Are prices listed on the site?** No. Every job is quoted individually after an estimate request, because the parts situation on an import varies enormously from car to car. There is no online booking, checkout or payment on this site. Quoting happens by phone, email or the estimate form. - **What are your hours?** The shop is open 08:00 to 17:00, seven days a week. - **Are you a dealership or a chain?** Neither. JDM Hotness is a small, independent, owner-operated workshop, not a franchise or a chain. ## Pages - [Home](https://jdmhotness.com/): Overview of the workshop, services, and project gallery, with contact details. - [Request an Estimate](https://jdmhotness.com/estimate): Estimate request form covering repair/diagnostics, scheduled maintenance, parts sourcing, diesel engine service, and pre-purchase inspection.
