I’m Hyunwoo from Korea. I purchased a car at Portage Cars last week and I’m truly satisfied with the experience. It was my first time buying a used car in NZ, and John helped me find an excellent car at a decent price. It has been running perfectly, just as John and the team guaranteed. He also promised to look after me if there are any mechanical issues later.
I strongly recommend this shop. Thank you, John, for the great support!

Went looking for a new(ish) car recently. My partner found Portage Motors, and met the delightful sales rep, John. As soon as Mark mentioned what vehicle we had had, and loved, John showed him a similar little beautie. A great car that sat right within our budget. John was straight forward and honest, and sorted a test drive the next day for me. SOLD! All paperwork that I requested was forthcoming with no hesitation. Would highly recommend this company.

Sagar is the best! He helped find an excellent car for my Auntie and really blew us away with his great service, crystal clear communication and reliable follow up. You can’t ask for more. A big thank you to Logan as well, he was also a big help with the purchasing process and can’t forget Adrian who helped setup the extra features on Aunties car and assisted with drop off and pick up logistics of the new car. New Lynn is very lucky to have a car yard with a team like this in the middle of town. Thanks guys, Auntie is very happy with the car!
