CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

I'm so happy with the Nissan Titan. SCD American Vehicles have done a very professional conversion and l have just done 400kms towing a 2.5 ton caravan in 2 weeks after taking delivery. After owning a Ram 2500 for 4 years the Titan more than matches it in every aspect. The Titan is much more refined and drives like a luxury car . The V8 Cummins is quiet and plenty of torque. The brakes are fantastic. The truck ticks all the boxes. This Truck is very impressive .

Gordon Hunter

Very satisfying experience to deal with a such professional business. Right through from the initial contact too long after the sale. Nothing was an issue, everything was easy and you can tell the staff are experienced and keen to get the best result for the customer. Cheers Eddie, Steve, Michael , KJ and the rest of the team. Loving my new Nissan Titan.

Josh Collins

We have recently purchased a Nissan Titan XD Premium Reserve from SCD, which we imported into New Zealand. Our first trip away was a 600k round trip to the South Island West Coast from our home town Nelson. This vehicle towed our 3000k+ Bushtracker Caravan over all our hills with so much ease, it was hard to believe that there was a Caravan on behind. Handling was superb, road noise low, comfort excellent, and fuel economy better than our Nissan patrol 4.2 doing the same trip. Now, when it comes to back up service from SCD, you couldn't find better, even to the point where they sent KJ over here to NZ to assist with the Certification of the Titan in NZ. Good Company, good truck, excellent service and backup, what more could you want.

Nancy Stuart

The SCD Team is the absolute best for conversions and after sales support. They continue to exceed our expectation in every facet of their operation. Extremely professional and always available for support. As the team who do the conversions, they know all about their vehicles. Nothing is ever a problem. We have never dealt with a company that is so committed to providing such a high level of customer service.
