Assisting with Professionalism and Integrity, so you can Buy with Confidence

Established more than 30 years ago and going strong today means we've adapted as the retail business of supplying quality used vehicles to great people has changed. John Knowles is renowned as a stalwart of the industry in Canterbury and New Zealand having served terms as National President of both the former Motor Vehicle Dealers Institute and the Motor Trade Association, supporting Dealer education and values through the years.

With great staff in support, all the work gets done. John and his Team are here to assist all our valued customers regardless of the kind of used vehicle required to meet family, work or leisure needs. With Lea in the office and our service team backing everything up with superbly presented, carefully chosen vehicles, it makes for a great group of happy people working together to meet the customers requirements.

Thats how its worked since 1974, today and in the future.
