Store in Christchurch

“I phoned and was able to make a very last minute appointment to be fitted for a sports bra. The lady on the phone was lovely and very accommodating. The staff in the store were kind, warm, friendly, knowledgeable, and non-judgemental. I was initially concerned about how much I would be paying for a sports bra, but for $100 (very reasonable when you've tried and failed in a multitide of other stores to find a 16G!) I got a very comfortable, very supportive sports bra, and a wonderful experience with some truly lovely ladies. Will definitely be shopping here again!”

“Mikayla was my stylist and she was amazing!!! Very polite and professional, she listened to what i wanted to have done and looked through idol pics with me! Mikayla talked me through my options and the process for each one even getting me a drink and a snack!”

“Taken my car here a few times over the past year or so and they are always straight up about things. Told me a job would be $300 turned out to be cheaper. Never had any more than they quoted me on and they usually can fit you in pretty quickly.”

“I popped into Nifty for the first time yesterday and absolutely loved it! The store is really spacious and beautifully set up, with such a great range of clothing to browse through. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the staff were super friendly, which made the whole experience even better. Definitely one of my new favourite op shops – I’ll be back for sure!”

“Thanks to Mark and the team for superb customer service. We appreciate your recommendations and flexibility with our timeframe, friendly service and the quality of your product!”

“Amazing store . Visited these guys a few weeks ago for a stick vacuum and the guys who served me were friendly and helpful”

“I have been in Smarty Pants a number of times, sometimes I'm not quite sure what gift I'm after, last time it was for my 10yo nephew who lived in Australia. After being asked a few thoughtful questions the retail assistant offered some suggestions and showed me a couple of items, it was perfect! The best service, she really took the time to help me without any of the pushiness. Really friendly and positive. The shop itself is treasure, laid out beautifully with high quality items. Back for sure, next time its lunchboxes! From past experience, I know that they will talk me through the options so I get the right one!”

“Got a massage gun from here, and it is a real quality unit. Better than other guns twice its price. Good after sale support, too. Would definitely recommend.”

“Delightful little Cafe on good street. I was quite surprised to find a Cafe in this quiet area tucked away from the main street! The iced coffee was delicious, the breakfast we had was good portioned and delicious. I particularly enjoyed the sausage and bacon as they were cooked perfectly whereas some places quite often burn these or are quite oily. The lady was very nice and served us with a smile!”

“My usual hairdresser has left the area and I had to find another one which is always a bit scary. But when I went to Vivo yesterday and had my very fine, short hair cut Katie did an awesome job, I am very pleased with the result. She listened to what I wanted and gave some very good advice on the care of my hair. This led me to book another two appointments right through to next year and I hope this will be a long term partnership.”

“Lovely shop the most helpful staff beautiful materials, gifts and lampshades. They also make lampshades and cushions with the materials you can choose. A great find - will be back again.”

“We visited the Hugo Boss store last Sunday and had the pleasure of dealing with Esther. Her service was exceptional, recommending items that were both on and off the shelf. Esther was amazing and came up with an array of different solutions and we left feeling like she had given us the best service we had, had in a long time!”

“I think it’s a best place to find out any Mazda parts so easily. I got one tail light from them which matches perfectly the previous one. They also provided me good suggestions about my stereo system. Cheers”

“Hidden gem of New Brighton. I went there for the first time this past weekend and was pleasantly surprised at the range of items they stock. I was able to get all the home and garden items I needed and managed to avoid the parking hell at the bigger chain stores. I also have to mention the customer service which was amazing, will definitely be shopping local from now on!”

“We have been a regular customer of Main South Auto since 2017 and found Mo & his team to be really great in terms of pricing, timeliness and quality of work. We always got correct advise regarding the maintaining work needed on our vehicles and quality of work keeps us taking our vehicles back to Main South Auto for regular maintenance and/or repairs as and when needed. Keep up the good work.”

“These guys are absolute legends. When noone else could solve our problem these guys fixed it in 5 minutes. They were all so friendly and clearly know their craft. Huge thanks!”

“Thanks to supertyre and Joseph! I had an urgent need to get my car fixed as I had a lot of work waiting for me. Joseph came to my house to change the tyres right there and it was very nice and quick. I truely appreciate his help!”

“These guys are absolute legends. When noone else could solve our problem these guys fixed it in 5 minutes. They were all so friendly and clearly know their craft. Huge thanks!”

“Cam and the team always go above and beyond to help with either the purchase of a new car or the repair of existing. Tells you upfront any issues and the best way to rectify them. Efficient, fantastic service and reliable. Highly recommend going to visit the team!”

“Great shop. I just popped in to see if they had a spare ear muff for my ski helmet, I'm about to head off to Canada ....extraordinary,...they pulled a spare pair out of the bottom draw. This is not my first experience of great service from Richard and the team. This is way retail should be. Highly recommended.”

“Excellent place for hard to get bits can recommend”

“Probably the best customer service I've ever had. The owner and the staff that I talk to all live and breathe the sports they sell, so they know their stuff and most of the gear in house is what they like to ride, wear or use for maintenance, so you know you're in good hands. If you're new to the country, they can also point you in the right direction for waves or powder. They have good connections to their suppliers and really go all the way for their customers. I had trouble with my winter wetsuit and even though it fell out of warranty (by a few weeks), they were ready to help me out. Absolute legends!”

“I started my enquiry via email & Angela was super quick to respond as well as providing full details into what I was wanting. After not replying to her for a few days the following week she called to touch base which was great because then we were able to book my car in for a full service and was accommodating to my needs, preference and date/times I was available. Brought my car in Saturday just gone, meet Angela and she was super professional and informative. Overall great communication, professionalism and service.”

“Great place for parts and the staff are super knowledgeable and friendly. Cheers guys.”

“Excellent, friendly, efficient service. Couldn't have been better.”

“Friendly staff and great prices for what I buy there”

“Incredible knowledge. Amazing fish and tanks and great service.”

“Awesome family business. Sell a wide variety of recreational gear that is not on their website. The son knows his stuff and backs it up with his fishing. Highly recommend”

“Very professional, easy communication, great conversations and amazing tattoo work. Very skilled artist”
