Why join

What a JFA dealer gets

Everything a small workshop needs to sell tuning with confidence, from a company that tunes cars every day itself.

Product range

Tuning files for all makes and models, with EGR, DPF, AdBlue and every other patch. Tools for OBD or bench work with free training and a year of subscription. A tried and tested range of aftermarket parts and exhausts at trade prices.

Profitable

The JFA margin system with cross-sell options and regular promotions. Files are paid for one at a time, so a quiet month costs nothing. Your own vehicles are tuned at a discounted rate.

Professional advice

The JFA Dealer Standard answers most sales questions before a customer asks them. For the rest there is the help centre and live chat with the tuning team, not a call centre.

Professional training

Free training on every tool we sell, and regular refreshers as the tools and protocols evolve. On site in Maidstone or over a call.

Professional marketing

Help with website and social content, a free vehicle search tool for your site, and Google pay-per-click campaigns that are tried and tested on our own business. No website yet? We have options.

Professional image

Dyno comparison sheets to show your customers, the JFA dealer badge, and a place on the dealer locator so local searches find you.

Dealers on the service

What dealers say

★★★★★

“I started using JFA around a year ago with a MK7 Golf GTI. Since then I have tuned over 150 vehicles using their service and my remap turnover is up by 40 percent over the previous year. Ask to see the dyno comparisons.”

Luke Oliver, Hy-Torque · Google
★★★★★

“Fast service, customer-waiting jobs are no problem, and the support from the staff is second to none.”

Moving supplier?

Stuck with your existing file supplier?

Slow turnaround, files that need three revisions, nobody on the phone. Moving is easier than it sounds: open a free account, upload your next read, and compare the file and the time against what you get now. Keep your tool, keep your customers, change nothing else.

Questions

Joining questions

Is there a joining fee or a monthly charge?

No. The portal account is free and there is no contract or minimum spend. You top up your account and each file is deducted from the balance as you order it.

Which tuning tools do you support?

All of them. Autotuner, Alientech KESS3 and KESSv2, MagicMotorsport Flex, Flashtec CMD, and any other slave or master tool that can read the ECU. Upload the read in the portal and we write for it.

How long does a file take?

Our average turnaround last month was 16 minutes during UK working hours. Complex requests such as Stage 3 or custom gearbox work take longer and we tell you before you order.

Are the files dyno developed?

Yes. Every base file is developed on our own AWD rolling road in Maidstone, and we publish the dyno comparisons. Ask the team for the sheets on any engine you are quoting.

Do you sell to dealers outside the UK?

Yes. We have dealers in 24 countries. The portal runs in 12 languages, prices are in GBP ex VAT, and EU businesses with a valid VAT number are not charged UK VAT.

What if a file does not work?

Tell us on live chat with the car still on the ramp and a revised file is written at no extra cost. If the car cannot be tuned, the file is voided and the full amount is credited back to your account.

Can I tune my own cars at a discount?

Yes. Dealers get discounted tuning on their own vehicles, and access to our parts and exhaust range at trade prices.

Do you train me on the tool?

Yes. Every tool we sell comes with free training, and we run refresher sessions as the tools evolve. Most dealers are writing their first file the day the tool arrives.
