"Hi guys.

My first impression as I was approached by Shayne was friendly and easy to talk to, as the conversation continued I felt comfortable and happy with the deal he put together for me.

Many thanks."

"I would like to thank you for your assistance recently. I appreciate you taking the time to help me choose the right car, and find the right finance  to suit my budget.  As it turned out I was able to get a much better car than I expected because you worked out such a good deal, including a fair price on my trade-in.  The other members of your staff were also friendly and helpful, and I would recommend Ideal cars to anyone.

"If you’re looking to buy a car BUY IT from Shayne at Ideal Cars – you just can’t beat the experience ANYWHERE!  NO Hassles he makes it all a breeze.  We have just bought our 4th car from Shayne at Ideal Cars in Aug 09.  We wouldn’t bother buying a car from anyone else.  Shayne is so professional and such a pleasure to deal with. We would highly recommend Ideal Cars – even one of our friends brought a car after we recommended them.

"I had just returned from overseas and had been looking for a car (or wagon really). I had browsed the yards through Hamilton and found a lot of the salesmen rude and somewhat pushy, one even said I sounded like an Aussie! Enough said... I called into Ideal Cars on the off chance that they would have a wagon to suit my needs. A Subaru Forester took my eye and stayed there. Shayne and I chatted and negotiated, he was extremely helpful and we found a good price and settled on it. It was easy to say the least to buy from there, and with the after sales service as a backup, I couldn't be happier with my purchase. My car is awesome and it loves to be driven. Cheers Shayne and your team, I'll pop in one day and say hi when I am in town.

Best regards,

"Hi guys,

Just thought I would drop you in some feedback to go on your website. I've brought two cars off of ideal cars now and yet again they strive to please! My girlfriend and I spotted a car we liked out of pure chance and we just had to have it (as you do). So yet again Daniel made it happen! Our car is excellent and we just love it. Shane even let us keep our mags ha-ha. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a car to buy one off these guys - you won't regret it!

Regards,

"Daniel and the team at Ideal Cars were instrumental in making a decision for a car purchase. Daniels excellent customer service skills gave me confidence in buying a suitable, reliable car. He went the extra-mile for us when we applied for credit which no other car dealer has done for us - and with an overdue-pregnant wife, we very much appreciated his 'good-samaritan' attitude. We will have no hesitation in purchasing our next car from Ideal Cars. Thanks Daniel."

"Hi Daniel

Just thought I'd let you know how much I am enjoying my Daihatsu and to thank you and Shayne for your patient and helpful service. It made the whole process much easier for this 'old lady' and I do appreciate that!

"For many months I was looking for a Nissan Mistral 2 door. I had looked at a heap on the net, however the one at Ideal Cars looked exactly what I wanted. By nature I am a very cautious person so when I contacted Shayne and told home I was unable to get up to view the vehicle due to work commitments, I asked all the obvious questions and he gave me an honest and genuine description of the Mistral. He arranged the cartage down for me and everything went perfectly. What I liked in particular was that there was no guarantee that the vehicle was like new and because of that I was prepared for the small faults that a vehicle of that age would have.
From my experience I would say Shayne is someone who is in business to sell cars but also to look after his customers. Thanks Shayne, much appreciated.

"I recently purchased a Toyota Celica from Shayne for my girlfriend. I rang the dealership first to enquire about the vehicle, and the phone manner and knowledge was excellent. When arriving on the yard, I was greeted with a smile, and felt absolutely no pressure at all. As I own my own business, I know and expect customer service, which is exactly what I received here. When finished purchasing the car, the whole experience was way above standard, and I would totally recommend Shayne and the team at Ideal Cars to any one I know. Thanks again Shayne."

"To whom it may concern

I drove past the car yard one day and saw a Legacy B4 Blitzen that I loved the look of. I called in and talked to Shayne who was very helpful. I slept on it for a couple of nights and then rang Shayne back about it. He told me that it had been sold. I was disappointed but Shayne told me that he had another car that I might love as much as that one. I went to the car yard and Shayne showed me a Legacy B4 RSK Ltd edition. I LOVED IT, and bought it. The whole experience of buying a car from Shayne was great. I never felt like he was doing the hard sell on me, he wanted me to buy the car because I wanted to, not because he wanted to sell a car. The after sales support has been fantastic and I have never felt like I was being a problem to them.

If you want to buy a car from someone who is happy to talk to you and help you and give you great service then I highly recommend Ideal Cars. I LOVE MY CAR."

"Hi Daniel. Just thought I would drop you a line to thank you most sincerely for the outstanding service Bob and I received when purchasing our 76 Oldsmobile. A wonderful thoughtful and most professional service which has left us with no hesitation in recommending you and Ideal Cars Hamilton at every given opportunity to our family and friends. Thank You

"We have just bought our 4th car from Shayne at Idea Cars (Aug 09) Our first car was five years ago. Each time has been a hassle free experience. Both Daniel and Shayne are professional in their dealings. We would highly recommend that any purchaser should visit Ideal Cars."

"To whom it may concern

We recently bought a Subaru Impreza WRX STi from Ideal Cars in Hamilton. The first thing that impressed us about the yard, was the number of quality performance cars that they had to choose from. (We were like kids in a lolly shop!!)

The second thing that impressed us, was the salesman we dealt with, Daniel Haines. His product knowledge was superior to any other salesperson we have dealt with, and obviously he had the driving ability to put his money where his mouth was. He was happy to spend a lot of time with us to make sure we were happy with the choice we had made, and made us feel welcome and relaxed at all times. Daniel was a pleasure to deal with, and we would have no hesitation in recommending both him and Ideal cars to any prospective buyer.

Yours faithfully

 "I bought my 03 STI from Daniel at Ideal Cars in September last year. It is not only a great car but had an even greater price, at the time it was by far the best valued 03 STI on the market, with a very low mileage. So many people have been amazed at my story of hassle free purchase and even more so the follow up service. I quite often call in to see Daniel and Shayne to say hello or use there facilities.They have let me use tools and wash my car and even supplied the odd bit of professional advice. Daniel even invited me for a run in Maramarua Forest in his WRX Rally Car which I took full advantage of.

So when you buy a car from Ideal, it's not just about a sale then see you later, it is much more than that. So even though I have a fairly new car purchase there is no doubt I will be back to Ideal to buy my next car and I recommend to anyone in the market for a great quality car call in to see Daniel and have a chat, nothing ventured nothing gained."

"The easiest way to buy a car is through Ideal Cars, It was so simple. Daniel was so helpful and didn't rush me into things. Helped with what I needed and sold me a wonderful car, I couldn't ask for better service. One of the top dealers out there I would have to say, I recommend every one to go to Ideal Cars if they are looking for a vehicle.Thanks heaps."

"The car I bought from the team at Ideal Cars is just that...Ideal. Shayne and Daniel were fantastic. These guys really do provide service which you should expect when making a purchase as significant as a vehicle. They were very friendly courteous and informative - with no pressure, allowing me to feel good about my decision to buy from Ideal Cars. The after purchase service was also exemplary and I would not hesitate to recommend buying from Ideal Cars to my family and friends. Sincere thanks guys."

"Ideal Cars, the name says it all! I have brought two cars from Ideal Cars and each time the team have given me a great experience. I wasn't exactly sure what I wanted, but they found the one that was most suited to me. They found me new parts and helped swap parts from the old car to the new one, which made the process so much easier. They might not tell you what you want to hear, but what you need to hear when it comes to what's best for your car.

Andrew is technical support who helps with all your mechanical needs and a Subaru guru - who I use to my full advantage.

Daniel deals with my paperwork and customer service and does a damn good job at it. Shayne the owner is always so welcoming and even offers me a feed when I go in! Anytime I want I can go in for a chat, catch up on things or even use there equipment to wash my car.

The best service I have ever experienced."

"I've been in and out of Ideal Cars for years now, and after all that time, I was finally ready to buy. Daniel and Shayne did their best to make every thing as smooth as possible.They were very patient and made buying a car a breeze.
I would recommend them any day!"

"I am now onto my second car from Ideal Cars and I find their after sales service is second to none. They gave me a great trade in for my first car (Mitsubishi Cedia Ralliart) when I felt I needed more power! This after sales service is what set ideal Cars apart from the rest! Thanks guys I think my next car will be the Forester STI! They provide a courtesy car when I get my car serviced and provide excellent advice as to the best parts and service requirements to keep my Subaru Forester in top condition. Their knowledge of performance cars is excellent. Great job guys you have made a life long customer out of me."

"I saw the BMW advertised in the Auto Trader and came into the yard to see Daniel as I found him to be very helpful and informative last time I purchased a vehicle. Daniel and Shayne have always been very helpful and good to deal with. Love the 540i."

"I thought since I was looking through the website trying to find something for a friend I'd send you a quick blurb...

Fast, friendly, excellent service...from test drive to drive away was 4 hours, including finance, rego and transferring personal number plate. Plus 6 months after the purchase they still take the time to answer any questions and help me just as much, if not more, than most car dealers would when they are only trying to make a sale. I would always recommend them as a first choice to anyone buying a car."

"Hi Shane,
Thank you for your help today, it was much appreciated. I love the car, it is bloody brilliant, just like the service from you and your team. I will recommend my friends try the Ideal car buying experience. Fast, friendly and fun. And thank you for fitting the stereo and alarm. Superb advice. Actually the Ideal service. Thank you."

"Having visited almost 20 car yards including 5 in Wellington, as well as spending more hours than planned on the internet trade sites, I finally brought my RX-8 from Ideal Cars in Hamilton. Shayne and Daniel both went the extra mile in both before and after sales service, If you're looking for a good deal on a quality car with excellent service, I recommend you pay them a visit."

"On the whole I would have to say for my first experience in buying a car though a dealer, you guys have definitely made it easy for me. The car is pretty much in the exact condition that it was stated to me over the phone and I am very happy with the results. Once again thanks heaps for the car, it definitely turns heads when driving down the street."

"I have just successfully brought my 5th car from Ideal cars. Anytime I can, I refer my friends and family - and i get $100 for every successful referral purchase - who else does that? I very much doubt I'd go elsewhere as I know i will always be getting a great deal on a reliable vehicle, whether it is an economical run about or a performance car. Shayne and Daniel don't try and push you into buying just anything, but instead do their very best to get you the right vehicle for your needs. What I've also been impressed with is if they haven't got what you're looking for, they go above and beyond to find something suitable. No normal dealership here, it is and always have been exactly what they claim...The Ideal Experience! Thanks again guys."

"I am extremely happy with the Atenza wagon! Speaking with Shayne gave me confidence that we were buying a great vehicle, even though we were at the other end of the island, and not being able to physically check the car out first. When the car arrived via truck from Hamilton, it was everything we expected and more! I would recommend them to anyone looking for a quality used import."

"I've dealt with Shayne at Ideal Cars for 14 years, The Nissan Regulus is the seventh vehicle I've bought. My daughter Lana has purchased 3 cars. Her last was a 1993 Toyota Trueno GT-Z purchased in 2004 and it is still going well. I've told many friends about their selection of cars, 4 wheel drives and station wagons and also about their helpful and friendly attitude with customers."

Graham Magner-Webb

"Awesome professional sales service. I looked all over Hamilton, and even as far as Rotorua, and did not receive as good service as I did when I met the team at Ideal Cars Hamilton. They helped me find what I wanted and did not try and sell me just any car. I would definitely recommend them to anyone, and when it comes time to upgrade, I will be back."
