Our company has expanded and we had to move because we needed more space. The good news is that I haven't gone far! I have moved across the fence to our exciting new dealership Southern Autos Manukau to help lead the Used Vehicle Department. I need your help to get the word out!
As you know, I offer a genuinely professional "no hassle" approach to your vehicle purchasing and financing needs. I am available 7 days a week to talk these through with you, including payment options to suit your lifestyle. Please call in and see me at my new location and have a coffee with me; let's discuss how I can help you get in to a new car today.
My location may have changed, but the impeccable 7 days a week service and vast selection of vehicles remain the same. I'm on the corner of Great South Road and Bakerfield Place and I look forward to catching up with all of my neighbours now that you know where to find me!
