Richard Couch

Richard grew up with a love of European engineered cars. Now, he takes great pleasure in sourcing these luxury European vehicles for his extensive customer base.

Richard understands firsthand the importance of exceptional customer service. He knows this is what generates happy customers and drives results.

It was while working in Auckland as a successful Sales Consultant for Mercedes-Benz, BMW and as General Manager for Renault & INFINITI that Richard realised how stressful purchasing a car can be for a customer.

When it comes to buying a luxury car, Richard understands the customer should drive the buying process. He’s all about giving control back to the customer and taking a solution based, consultative sales approach. There are no pushy ‘sales tactics’ — just a genuine passion to realise a customer’s automotive dreams.

Richard’s experience in multiple European dealerships has honed his expert knowledge of the luxury car market. Richard provides an effortless, professional, personalised and practical service across a large range of luxury European cars.

By building long-lasting rapport, Richard takes away the stress of purchasing a new car and replaces it with the joy it should be. Above all else is his passion for quality, performance and style.
