Our reviews

Buying a car, especially a used car can be a terrifying experience. All of us, are always full of anxiety and worry when it comes to choosing and one finds oneself often, having to put trust in someone we have only just met…..
This is not the experience at Portage Cars.
I had the privilege of taking an excellent, beautiful car off their hands recently, courtesy of excellent service from Mr. Brett “Chopper” Donaldson, an outstanding salesman with decades of experience and more over, a damn nice chap. No bullshit, straight up, just what we like. He was attentive, accommodating (even letting me leave my previous vehicle on his lot over night, so I could get the new car home), and had me into my new car and out the door the same day I decided to buy it. Fast and efficient but as far as I can tell, with no compromise to quality.

Excellent service, great sense of humor and although I have only owned it for a weekend now, I could not be happier with the car I have purchased.

Thank you Portage Cars New Lynn and thank you Chopper. I am most greatful.

Sincerely,

Jack R – Auckland

Me and my Partner Mary, bought a car from here and Rahil is very nice and accommodating. It was a smooth transaction. Highly recommended 👍

Excellent trade. Very friendly service. The car is superb.

Excellent experience at Portage Cars!

Saw the car I wanted at around 11am, on a Friday, and was contacted by John so quickly I was able to see the car by 12pm. Encouraged a test drive and the car was simply the one I wanted. Decided to buy without my partner even seeing it, risky I know but did it anyway!

Craig and John on site offered excellent guidance and went above and beyond to make sure I was happy. Gave a very fair and quick trade in price for my existing car, and made the process super easy.

Made payment online, and was called promptly the next day to come and collect, with it being cleaned (not that I think it had to be!) and ready for me to drive away in.

Partner absolutely loves the car, especially the sunroof and heated seats!

Would recommend if you’re thinking about looking for a new car, start here. And if you’re currently looking and you’re thinking between one they have and another car, add one pro to Portage Cars with John and Craig.

Well presented selection of cars. John helped us through the buying process. A couple of issues to be sorted with the car we chose but Craig and John were great while this happened. The dealership took ownership of the issues and got them sorted asap. We got regular updates and check ins. Communication is so important and these guys hit a home run. Will definitely keep this dealership in mind for future car options. Thanks team.

Thank you so much for everything Logan (who sold me the car) and Shane for his friendly advice!
It was really smooth all the processes. Also I really appreciate how you do perform professionally like japanese service in Japan!

Portage Cars Takanini

I put my application through and then within half an hour Bella called. She’s the best! She made everything so easy for me and got me approved within the same day. Her communication was spot on and even went above and beyond for me when it was her day off 💯💪.

I also got to meet with Shane for a brief moment and he made sure my car in great shape before I drove off.

Awesome Team.

Truly exceptional service — a team that sets the bar high!

John was attentive, genuine, and incredibly easy to deal with. He took the time to understand what I was looking for and guided me through the process without any pressure or sales talk—just honest advice and clear communication.

Craig, the manager, was equally impressive. Calm, professional, and efficient—he ensured everything moved along smoothly behind the scenes and made sure all details were taken care of.

Together, they created a car-buying experience that felt seamless and well-organised. It’s rare to come across a team this committed to both service and integrity.

Highly recommended if you’re after more than just a vehicle—you’re getting peace of mind too.

Want to say a massive thank you to Craig and John from Portage Cars Christchurch.
My partner and I just purchased a new car from the guys @ PortageCars.
The service from these guys we received was second to none. They made the whole process very easy.
We had shopped around everywhere doing our due diligence and the quality of the cars and the service @PortageCars, I found to be far superior than anywhere else we went.
On top of that we come to a great deal that both parties were more than happy with.
Highly recommend for your next purchase *****

I purchase a small car a week ago from Portage Cars Takanini. Logan Squire, sales Executive, guide me through the process with the best ever no agressive sale approach. I recommend him very highly for his way of dealing with customers. He delivered above expectations.

Excellent experience. Found Portage cars via AA website. Sagar was warm and friendly. That massive smile 😁 The 2nd car he showed me I bought. He spent quite a lot of time showing us the car. Good price for a beautiful car with low ks.

I had an incredible experience at Portage New Lynn Cars! A massive thank you to Sagar, who showed remarkable patience and stayed in touch for a month until the perfect car matching my specifications arrived, allowing me to finalize my purchase with a fantastic deal and great pricing. His dedication and expertise made the process seamless and stress-free. A special mention also goes to Bella, the finance lady, who was amazing in securing the best rate for my MBI insurance and the lowest possible interest rate for my purchase. The entire team was incredibly helpful, understanding, and attentive, listening to my needs and ensuring the best deal for both my new car and my trade-in. Highly recommend Portage New Lynn Cars for their outstanding service and customer-focused approach!
