Geoff was my knight in shining armour, my guardian angel and my saviour when it came to sourcing and purchasing my Toyota Welcab in Japan. I speak Japanese and lived in Japan for many years but I didn’t know the first thing about how to get a car to Australia!
Geoff generously, tirelessly and patiently shared his sage wisdom and advice, helping me navigate the auction process as well as giving me the tips and tricks to buy directly from a dealer then export, since I really had to see and try the car to be sure it would suit my needs. The service from Geoff’s service providers has also been second to none – the export agent, shipping/import agent and compliance shop have all been efficient, responsive and respectful. My 2021 Toyota Sienta Type III is arriving any day now and I can’t wait to try it out! Geoff, I just want to fly to Perth and give you a big, warm hug! 🙂 Thank you so, so much!
