Trade accounts, shipping and customer feedback

TJ Motorsport offers a trade account registration option alongside standard customer accounts. International shipping is available, with customers invited to contact the company for a quote, and the site carries a note about deliveries up to €150 to the EU. The company also publishes a blog and rally reports, including a report on the 2026 Down Rally.

The site reproduces customer comments that repeatedly mention fast dispatch, help with international shipping and knowledge of the parts stocked. One reviewer refers to having dealt with the company for more than ten years. These are individual testimonials rather than an aggregate rating.
