About Us

Proudly based in Northwest Florida.

Surfside JDM is owned by me, Jonathan Jernigan. I have a fanatical love for Toyota and Lexus car, specifically from model years 1990 to ~2007.

I’ve owned numerous Toyota and Lexus vehicles, as well as imported many from Japan directly.

My mission with Surfside JDM is to provide top quality vehicles with a unique story, and to help you maintain your Toyota/Lexus to the highest possible standard.
