Satisfied Customers - Access Cars Limited

1997 Toyota Ipsum

I am proud to say that I was Kim’s very first customer, in July 2004. I purchased a 1997 Toyota Ipsum, for a very reasonable price, and which arrived in mint condition. Everything went extremely smoothly from start to finish. I was helped, supported and kept fully informed throughout each stage of the process, through friendly e-mails and telephone contact. Bidding on the auctions was exciting, and actually a lot of fun! I won my car on my second auction, for quite a bit less than I was willing to go up to. The shipping was all organised for me and I received constant progress reports on ‘where my car is now’. Once my car was in New Zealand, I was assisted through all the required processes such as customs, compliance and grooming. Nothing was a problem - in fact it was all made very simple for me. Four years later, my car is still running just as well as when it first arrived. I am thrilled with it! I could not have asked for better service, and highly recommend Kim to anybody, for his friendly, helpful, honest, patient and professional attitude towards his customers.

2005 Suzuki Swift 1.5 XS

Thanks so much Kim for my dream car, a 2005 Suzuki Swift. I had looked all around for a 1500cc model, but they were as scarce as hens’ teeth. You were able to make it happen when others failed to do so! The colour was also just what I wanted and was the “icing on the cake”. I will be back when I want to upgrade and I will definitely recommend you to others when they admire my car.

2000 Honda Odyssey

I’ve always been interested in the idea of importing a car directly, but lack the contacts, confidence and experience to do so myself. Fortunately, Kim Shotton has all three! I found the whole process to be straightforward and completely stress free, and I saved more than 25% on what the same model would have cost me had I bought it from a car yard. Kim listened closely to what I needed for my family, and how much I could afford, and he guided me to exactly the right model for me. Kim was patient, knowledgable and an excellent communicator - he kept in regular contact right throughout the purchase process. Thanks to Kim, I now have a fantastic family car for an even better price! I’ll never buy a car through a retail yard again, and I recommend Kim’s service to all my friends and family. Thanks again Kim!

2002 Nissan March

Thank you Kim for getting me my little bug. It drives well and I have already had lots of comments on what a neat little car it is. Through dealing direct I was able to upgrade to a later model than I would have otherwise. You were very professional and took care of all the paperwork which was excellent. I will be definitely be recommending you to others. Thanks again for getting me a great car at a great price.

1998 Toyota Ipsum

Many thanks Kim, for when we spoke to you about getting us a new car, we knew what kind of car that we wanted so you went on the hunt for us and found the perfect car that fitted our needs. You made the whole process so easy from start to finish. You kept us informed with every step along the way, it was so stress free. We never knew that importing a car could be so painless. For us as a family we will never go back to buying a car from a car dealer. We will most definitely go back and see you and see what you can do for us next time soon. In fact we are already excited about our next fantastic new car, so many thanks again for you and your family for our Ipsum.

1998 Toyota Cynos & 1999 Toyota Ipsum

We have bought two vehicles from Kim and have been very pleased with them both. Kim was able to give knowledgeable advice on what models would suit our needs and on what the total cost would be likely to be. His open and professional communication throughout the process gave us confidence that we were getting quality at an affordable price. His expertise when importing vehicles led to a hassle free experience. Thanks Kim, we would do it all again!

2002 VW Golf GTX

Hi my name is Martin, and I am a very satisfied owner of a 2002 VW Golf imported by Kim at Access Cars. From first approaching Kim for this purchase, through to its final delivery I have found him very enjoyable to work with, always keeping me up to date and well informed on the importing process. Through importing with Access Cars I estimate that I have saved myself around $4000 against buying locally in Christchurch. Kim has a high standard with regards to the grade of vehicles he imports and I am confident he will put in the hard work to find the right car for you. I have personally known Kim for four years and worked professionally with him for a similar time and have found him easy to approach, honest and not lacking in integrity. I can confidently recommend him to help you in your next car purchase.

1996 Toyota Corolla Sprinter

We have had wonderful service from Kim Shotton owner of Access Cars Ltd. He was efficient, honest and determined to get us the best car our budget could afford. Once Kim knew what we wanted everything was done for us. He was careful to consult us at every stage of the process and he was up front about all costs so there were no unexpected extras. We paid much less for our car (a Toyota Sprinter) than we would have paid a dealer. We would definitely recommend Kim’s service to anyone who is in the market for a car. We will certainly be going back to Kim the next time we wish to upgrade.

1999 Audi A4

Thank you Kim for the integrity with which you conducted your service with us, when importing our family car - a 1999 Audi A4. We found the whole process to be straightforward and completely stress free. Kim listened closely to our needs and found an Audi to fit all our needs exactly, while saving us dollars in the process. We recommend Kim’s service and will certainly make use of it in the future!
