Japan's Biggest Used Car Parts Store is Kinda Wild: UP Garage Walkthrough

[@Kung.Pao.Kitty.]

There's an Up Garage in Garden Grove CA. It's not as big, but it's in the US. I'll have to go on the weekend.

That cbr250rr is super rare! I have one in my shop a couple years back. Red line was like at 20,000 rpm. It was fun to zip around on.

[@jamiereinig]

It's like a Goodwill for car nerds! Loved all the motorcycle exhausts and wheels. Would be a perfect place to nab parts for a race bike. @5:15 I've pulled a few leather Mini Cooper seats out of my local bone yard and turned them into gaming chairs for my race sim setups. $50 per seat, can't beat that. Pro tip: Passenger seats are usually the ones to get. Typically much less wear and less likely to have been defiled if the car was in a wreck.

I don't know I should tell my dad (a car guy) about this, I don't want to be stuck in this store for 7 hours out of 3 day-trip there where I could be hanging out in other places. He already has unhealthy obsession with thrift stores and hardware shops 🤣

[@theOGkuma]

Up Garage has a storefront in Southern California. It seems all locations operate as separate entities or more like franchises and focus solely on local commerce.

[@Mine-z6w]

And WAY WAY overpriced compared to his facility

[@fakefrank0002]

The Japanese swap meet store, you'll probably won't leave empty handed but good luck finding something specific...

[@OneofthePOORS]

I love the car content James. Keep up the hard work. It’s a different niche than what most of your viewers are into, but the content is top notch. If you can keep the quality at or above its current level, it would not surprise me a bit to see this channel eventually grow to be even bigger than TFBTV.

[@NathanKoshak]

Japan Pick-a-part is really nice looking.

[@triggerfingerstudios]

James, KelTec just released your new carry pistol in FN57! I can’t wait for that review!

[@The-BCC]

The JDM of Goodwills 😂 Love it

[@jakersdean]

James, long time viewer, here! Been living in Japan for a year or two now. It’s so cool to see and hear your reactions to the things my family has seen here. Let’s get yakiniku sometime!

[@wdtriplett]

Japan is such a cool place. Love the channel, Jimothy

[@misternitro1]

That Aaron dude is legit. Hopefully i can get a car from him someday 👍🏼

[@kman5711]

James Reeves doing a car channel? I’m in 💯

[@albertburton7371]

We used to have super Autobacs in Orange county California.

[@pauliewalnuts240]

The stock exhausts are for people restoring a vehicle to factory spec. Because everyone throws out the stock exhaust, theyre seriously hard to find for some cars. Some people need oem parts to return their car to stock condition prior to selling it..

[@dertythegrower]

Clicky the ads. *Very niceee.*

[@AdrianStevens-m2x]

3:40 that's why i love James, the witt. "No tools at all in their, just"😊😅😂

[@adamadams6740]

I need some JDM Honda jazz/Fit stuff.hopefully this place has a decent website.hells ya they do!

[@gonzogriff]

oh man I could spend hours in there. Need to find one of those inclinometer/elevation addons for old toyotas, people want like 300$ for them in the US! Also hunting an OEM mudflap with a hole cut for the exhaust. There is no chance I'll find that here.

[@christopherhendren117]

What I learned from my trip to Japan, was that the entire country is just one gigantic shopping mall filled with treasures of all kinds. "Hard-off" another interesting store..."Up Garage" the names they give these places are pretty awesome.

[@MrNgMichael]

Smaller houses with limited edition stuff that keeps coming out every year. Stuff's gotta go during spring cleaning. I don't think storage units are really a thing in Japan either. Hard off has been good to me for shopping for christmas gifts for friends.

[@Eric__B]

Is it related to Up Dog?

[@lordzorlon484]

What the heck is up dog?

[@jacksin3323]

Yooo!! That 250RR is craaaaazy! You can NOT find those anymore. That thing will rev to 18,000-20,000rpm!!!

[@dertythegrower]

episode idea... Make a whole car out of random parts from this store, and import it to the states for extra profit?

[@JDR1971]

Funny, that's the UP Garage that Ricer Miata got his scooter from.

[@dasfahrer8187]

You a fan of Newport menthols I take it? Your logo looks almost exactly like their packaging.

[@Firebert79TA]

Upgarage has its one US location in Garden Grove, CA

[@Baltimorons762]

Yeah Vin (formerly from Bankruptigan) did a video on it and said it was way overpriced

[@Firebert79TA]

@@Baltimorons762 That was when it first opened. It's not all Spirit R seats. There's a lot of useful stuff there and the store seems to be doing ok. I sold some parts there and it was a million times easier than scheduling craigslist flakes

[@econobox1]

Which Upgarage was this? I hit three of the ones near Tokyo and this one seems larger than the ones I went to

[@DarthVader-1701]

Unfortunately I would have tried to get Takumi's AE86 capsule car.

[@davidtran4760]

Great quality video but you are moving the camera around way too fast. Got a headache, couldn't finish video

[@kiwi_comanche]

"Did you fart?" 😂

[@analyticalmind4493]

12:46 no spoiler alert? C'mon man.

[@peterbunnell2373]

What's "culture envy" in Japanese? 😄

[@FlyingNDriving]

"Smells like up garage in here..."

[@HYDRAdude]

10:07 UCC is the best coffee brand in Japan. Boss is completely overrated.

[@Baltimorons762]

James Reeves numbah 1 kawaii Kinda bummed you guys didn’t venture into the hentai body pillow section to get a waifu for Hop

[@triggerfingerstudios]

If James didn’t barf in it, it’s no good.

[@LaSouthernGemini]

Someone could get lost in there, and not want to be found.

[@exodusz19]

Buy me a Hilux or I unsubscribe James
