Our reviews

Highly recommend Portage Cars Christchurch. Have just purchased a beautiful car from them, has been the smoothest, no stress experience even down to transporting to lower south.
Craig Powell it was an absolute pleasure to deal with you. Definitely a five star rating from me.

Craig and John were really great in helping me choose the right car, especially since this is my first car here in NZ. They were very professional and easy to deal with. All the vehicles I test drove were immaculate and of great quality. I will definitely recommend Portage Cars to my Filipino friends here in Christchurch. The finance process was also very quick and easy. These two young men made my car-buying journey stress-free. Thanks again!

We were both supremely impressed with the car dealership. My husband and I remarked on how all the little things matter at Portage Cars. The car selection and presentation were excellent, and the sales staff were knowledgeable and helpful without being pushy. Thank you, Craig and John! After having poor experiences elsewhere, this was a breath of fresh air. We appreciate everything you did for us.

I recently purchased a 2014 Audi RS7 from Portage Cars in Takanini, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. Shane, the salesperson, was incredibly welcoming and made the whole process feel smooth and stress-free. Fenelle from finance went above and beyond to help me secure the vehicle – her support and dedication truly stood out.

From start to finish, the service I received was amazing. The team at Portage Cars made what can often be a daunting experience feel exciting and easy. I’m absolutely thrilled with my new car and couldn’t be happier with the overall experience.

Highly recommend Portage Cars in Takanini to anyone looking for quality vehicles and top-tier customer service!

I love my new little blue Toyota Aqua! John from Portage Cars was friendly and very helpful. My queries were answered quickly and without fuss. Taking the car for a test drive was arranged without delay as was my purchase. An Iplay unit was installed quickly and my new car was ready for me to drive away the next day. The team at Portage were a joy to work with. Kā mihi.

A big thanks to Craig & John for your great service in helping us get our new car. We were shocked that finance came through quick when it only took 3- 4 days for approval. Really loved our new addition to the family & we would highly recommend Portage Cars to purchase a new car.
Once again thank you Portage Cars.

I was just scrolling through the internet looking to upgrade to a bigger car. Came across a car that my wife admired with Portage Cars. I enquired and got a phone call from John.Went to the dealership and met up with John where he was very helpful. Didn’t take long that I had agreed a trade in price with their manager Craig. Craig explained thoroughly the financial process and it just few days time, I was able to get my new car. Even there was a special promotion for every new car purchase, it would come with a new car stereo. Hats off to John and Craig for helping my family with our new car. I strongly recommend anyone looking for a new car, go to Portage Cars.

5 stars for a 5 star car yard which is NOT easy to find these days they truly take pride in there business and the selling of there cars.

This place is TOP NOTCH for no BS service cars and attitude. My partner messaged Caleb yesterday and we were in there today to purchase our car, just amazing. Price was brought down so both parties were happy, Caleb was great with ensuring us that it would receive a new warrant service and a groom (we were too excited to wait and wanted to pay and drive away today) so booked in to go back next week to have completed. Keeping in mind, this was close to there closing time for the day!

We have had bad experiences with car yards as alot take your money and run with no professionalism what so ever. This place is truly a hidden gem! If you haven’t come across this place already, do yourself a favor and go there for your next car! Thanks Caleb, we LOVE our Kia sportage and will recommend family & friends. Good stuff Portage Cars Takanini.

Happy as customers, Jess & Pete =)

I recently traded in my old car and purchased a Mercedes A250 from Portage, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From start to finish, everything went smoothly. A special shoutout to John—he was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and patient throughout the entire process. He made sure I understood all my options, answered every question, and made the whole trade-in and buying process feel easy and stress-free. The car is in excellent condition, and the customer service was top-notch. Highly recommend Portage if you’re looking for a trustworthy place to buy your next vehicle!

We recently brought a MG from Craig and the team at Portage cars. Absolutel legends ti deal with from start to finish. Great vehicle but the service and professionalism is the key. They own it. If yourlooking for decent cars and great price and service. Start there.

If you want to buy a car with Finance or not, portage cars (especially New Lynn) is the best place. Harvey is the best of best and not only thinks about her job or selling a car. She puts herself in the client shoes and goes beyond to assist her clients. Portage cars is my recommendation 10000%, if you want to buy a car.

Sales people are friendly here. The guy who helped me was very attentive. Greeting me when I first arrived. Cars are all nicely presented and well cleaned. This place is a good option if you’re in the market for a used vehicle.
