Excellent

Customer service Experience was excellent, Richard was able to book us in for a test drive within 3 hours of calling on a Saturday. He’s been nothing but polite and accommodating, made us a coffee and made sure we understood how ponko works.

Stan, the salesman that Sold us the car, has been excellent with all negotiations and was very helpful with first time buying of a car.

Hopefully the car is as good as the experience, and will recommend and use again.

Thank you to the guys at ponko
