Defender Traders Customer Reviews

Great little specialist shop. Brad is easy and great to work with as well.

Feb 16, 2025 · Jonathan

I was faced with enormous problems and challenges trying to get my ancient Land Rover registered here in California, being a grey import made things quite interesting. I felt that the dead end I had reached with the Ca DMV was insurmountable. This is when Brett took over........within a very short amount of time I had my California title and plates, more importantly to me, he used fully legal and ethical experience to accomplish this. So if you have a leaking transfer case or an unregisterable Landy or anything between, contact Brett and the team at Defender Traders.
