I've just bought an awesome car from NZ Car Centre. The service I received from Michael Jenks was OUTSTANDING.

I have to say this kind of service is Very Rare in my personal experience and refreshing to know that some great dealerships still exist. I STRONGLY recommend these guys, if your looking for a new car go and see these guys and you'll see what I'm talking about, they have a great selection of cars and they even make you a fresh coffee, cant be bad. Love my new Camero by the way, thankyou NZ Car Centre and thankyou Michael. Regards Damian.

Luke was the most kind and helpful person, made my first experience buying through a dealer so easy and positive, couldn't have done better.
Brought a car from Luke and I have nothing bad to say about him. He was honest and so lovely to deal with. I can't wait to get my new car. It was everything I was hoping to find. I loved that Luke was honest about the different cars and what would suit my family better. Thank you so so much Luke!
My daughter brought a car from Luke through NZ Car Centre. He was amazing to deal with. He was honest, which is rare these days and went above and beyond to help her. I can't thank you enough for helping her to find a car that she loves!
My partner brought a car from these guys awesome company. Easy to deal with. Honest which is rear to find.Absolutely stocked with the car. And the advice from Luke. Highly recommend
I bought a 2018 Mazda CX-5 here just before Christmas.I can honestly say it has been the best experience. I’ve always been dubious about buying from a dealer however Mike made the whole experience super easy and pressure free.He gave me what I thought was a good deal on my trade-in and a sharp price on the car.I test drove it at 2pm and I was driving away as the new owner at 4pm.There has been a couple of very minor issues after I bought it that have been solved and sorted within hours of letting Mike know.I would recommend anyone thinking of buying a car to drop by here to see what they’ve got.A professional, caring and stress free transaction from start to finish.
I recently had the pleasure of buying a car from nz car centre (Mitch and Luke), and I couldn’t be more impressed with the experience. From start to finish, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and truly focused on ensuring I found the perfect vehicle for my needs. The sales staff took the time to understand what I was looking for and helped me navigate my options within my budgetThe car itself is in fantastic condition, exactly as described, and the pricing was transparent and fair. I also appreciated the range of financing options available, making the process smooth and stress-free. The entire transaction was quick and efficient, and I drove away feeling confident in my purchase.Overall, I highly recommend nz car centre for anyone looking for a quality car and a hassle-free buying experience. It's clear they care about their customers, and I will definitely return for future purchases!
Luke’s and Mitch’s costumer service is one of the bests I have ever experienced they were respectful,nice and welcoming!!
Michael and Mitch at NZ Car Centre were very helpful and knowledgeable about the cars they sell. I had a great experience and would highly recommend 👌 👍 ☺️
Recently bought my pride and joy from NZ Car Centre and have been busy enjoying it. An absolute pleasure to deal with, Michael was great and made the car buying experience a relaxing no pressure pleasure. After service is great with nothing being a problem. I definitely recommend NZ Car Centre and will be back,cheers to Michael and the team.
Such a pleasure to deal with Mitch & Michael, made the buying process super straight forward. Thank you so much!!!!
Purchased a 2018 Suzuki Sx4 s-cross from these guys - wonderful service and a pleasure to deal with - Thank you
If you're looking for a great car buying experience forget about the rest. Mitch and the men at New Zealand Car Centre are the best. Exceptional customer service and knowledge. Very easy to deal with.
Very genuine car sales business. Delivered good value and really went out of their way and above and beyond to help out with things like transfering roofracks, . They even helped fix our second car.
I have purchased many cars over the years from many dealers and none have matched the service I received at New Zealand Car Centre (NZCC).Right from my first email enquiry, Michael was quick to respond, provided additional information about the vehicle I was enquiring about. You could not fault Michael’s communication. I arranged to view the car the following day, on arrival the car was out of the yard ready. Michael is friendly, open and transparent. Taking down my details & drivers license off I went. I returned from my test drive, Michael suggested I take the car to my daughters for a second opinion or to my mechanics (like I do all cars I look at). Michael is so open and professional I didn’t even feel I had the need for my mechanic to give the car a once over.Michael and his business partners are all well presented and professional, greeted customers as they arrived. All the cars in the yard were also presented well. I was happy with the car I had test driven & made the cash purchase. No arm twisting or pressure which as a woman I appreciated. I am collecting the car this afternoon where it will have a fresh warrant & rego & cut n polish.If you are in the market for a good value car, & value a high level of respect & customer service then look no further than the team at NZCC. 🚘 👍
If I can reassure anyone who is in the market for a new car, this is the place. From our 1st contact with them, they have been more than helpful and accommodating. Such a wonderful experience doing business with them (there just isn't businesses like this anymore in this day n age!). I can assure you there is no doubt you'll be looked after, purchasing from NZ Car Centre. 11/10 5*We love our new ride 🙂
Michael was great to deal with. Super helpful, accommodating and took time to show me how things worked. Would highly recommend and would definitely buy here again.
Fantastic experience, great customer service and all was made so effortless. Couldn't recommend these guys any higher! Thank you

I had an outstanding experience at NZ Car Centre, and it was all thanks to Mitchell! From start to finish, Mitchell made the entire process smooth, enjoyable, and stress free.

Excellent service from Mitch. The whole experience was excellent, very quick and easy.
Excellent service so rapt with my new car. Mike went above and beyond having my car detailed fresh warrant and gas within a day. Nothing like a bit of AAA customer service. Would recommend to all.

Everything was easy and nothing was complicated from beginning to end. Thanks again Mitch for your professional and friendly service. Oh and thanks for keeping it a secret, the car I bought was a bday pressy for my partner who was very shocked seeing it in our driveway today.
5 stars isn’t enough for the above and beyond business Mike and his co workers go to make your purchase so smooth. I can’t thank you all enough for your generosity supporting my sons Dads page and the smooth trade. Highly recommend and I will be sure to mention you to anyone.
Just picked up first car in NZ. Great value, great service and great humor by these guys.
Great customer service and friendly team who go out of their way to help.
I recently purchased a vehicle of a type I’ve never owned previously. Michael and Mitch we’re very helpful throughout the whole process, especially with getting many things checked. As it turned out, an AC problem developed about 6 weeks after I bought it. They sorted it promptly, lent me a car and even groomed my vehicle before I picked it up. Top notch service. Highly recommended.
I just bought my Mazda Cx5 from them. It was very reasonably priced. First time buying a car through a dealer, but had the most positive and stress-free experience. Michael was very responsive and great to deal with. Would recommend to anyone if you're looking for a reliable dealership. I would definitely reach out to NZ Car Centre again if I was looking for another vehicle. Thanks guys!
Michael was wonderful. Made purchasing our car a breeze. Couldn’t be more helpful and excellent service all round. 🥰
