Thank you to Logan for helping us finding the car that ticked all the boxes and within our budget. He was really helpful during our visit and made the whole process very easy for us all the way. Thank you to Saga as well from the New Lynn site. A good selection of cars and a friendly/helpful staff.

Sam was great. Buying experience was straight forward and helpful. No pressure to buy things I did not want. Just help us find a car and got us in the road.

I recently purchased a BMW station wagon from Portage Cars Takanini, and the whole process was super smooth. Shane and Logan were great to deal with – friendly, professional, and helpful throughout. Shane made sure I was comfortable driving the car, which gave me extra reassurance and confidence in my purchase. They both made the experience easy and stress-free. Highly recommend checking them out if you’re looking for a car!
