Testimonials
"I've done many commercials with Mark Prowse and the guys at Picture Vehicles over the years and on every occasion they have been absolutely brilliant. They are organised, provide solutions at every turn, they're professional and very good at what they do. I can't recommend them highly enough."

"We engaged Picture Vehicles to look after vehicles on a Land Rover print shoot in August 2010. They dealt with our many schedule changes without fuss and the vehicles were delivered on time every time. Their trucks are amazing. On a car shoot this goes a long way: everyone from Photographer through Agency to Client know the car is the Star and to have it kept in such a professional manner really makes a difference. The attention to detail and the willingness to go the extra mile with the small things is second to none. Our shoot went very well and we’re pleased Picture Vehicles was a big part of that success. Well done!"
David Curtis
Producer
"It is true to say when I work with Picture Vehicles I know what I am getting and 100% trust Grant to make it happen.
Over the years we have established a solid relationship with Picture Vehicles, thanks to Grant Aitken and Car prep, Mike Alesana.
I wish to thank you for being part of our longest production ever! Volvo Sweden, a secure shoot that spanned 4 months of production, covering 4 commercials and 3 photographic campagins,Grant's crew were extremely professional,
hard working, reliable and had the stamina necessary for lengthy productions!
In addition the car transport handling and precision driving support for the recent Nissan X-Trail spots went without a hitch,
3 hero cars and precision drivers successfully handled helicopter stunts, snow, rough terrain and fast snow mountain driving.
I always feel I am in the best of hands."

"We use Picture Vehicles for all of our car shoots. Grant and his team do a great job with transportation, preparation and grooming of the vehicles As well, Mark and Grant are both world class precision drivers. Picture Vehicles system for transporting vehicles is very flexible and having everything available from the one company makes them cost competitive for the smaller jobs as well as the big ones".

"Grant and his team have been looking after all our domestic and international car shoots for years.
From the moment we take possession of the picture vehicles we place the care, the transport, the driving and the finer details in Grant’s hands.
A fabulous one stop shop - that’s got us through stunt work in a locked down Wellington City, and travelled with us across the length and breadth of New Zealand."
Juliet Bishop

"I have worked with Mark Prowse on a number of commercials, including the Toyota ‘Bulls’, Toyota ‘Echo’ and Hyundai ‘Restless’ - he has always brought a professional attitude to the shoots and pulled off the required car stunts first take. Mark gets the absolute best out of a vehicle stunt manoeuvre while operating within safe boundaries for the crew."

"Picture Vehicles is the perfect one stop shop for your car shoot needs. From precision drivers, to transport and grooming, they even take care of the import/export paperwork. Why go anywhere else?"

Dear Grant,
Please accept my sincere thanks for assistance and support provided by you and your team on our Holden shoot in Queenstown.
The transport of and detailing of vehicles was first class and the prep work, including tinting greatly appreciated by both the Client and ourselves.
That you were able to provide 3 precision drivers was also a great help.
I thank you also for the sourcing of the additional vehicles that were required and of the effort you provided in completing the deals with the various owners, especially in light of the Clients requirements as to models and extra spec’s.

"We have worked with Picture Vehicles Limited on several domestic and international projects over the last few years and the service they
offer is certainly as high if not higher than the car prep companies I've worked with in England, Asia, South Africa and Australia.
Offering full transport, car prep & groom as well as precision and stunt driving also means that Picture Vehicles Limited can offer good
value when the guys bringing the hero vehicles to set are the same crew prepping and driving, it's a very efficient formula."
Matt Noonan

"I've known Grant and his team of talented people for many years now and they've proven to us that they can maintain the highest quality through out and on every job.
Anyone can perform reasonably well on one particular job but we are very appreciative of this long term working relationship we've managed to establish with this professional and pleasant people."
Best regards,

"Working with Picture Vehicles is always a pleasure. They are very cooperative, and are extremely reliable. We have never had the experience of worries with safety and have never had the problem of receiving invoices that have been over budget. The Director is always happy and the Producer is happy too, I can’t think of any working relationship that can be better than that."
