TESTIMONIALS

"

Hamish and Rachel were extremely helpful for me and my partner in making a decision on a house we were looking at purchasing. They maintained amazing customer service while undertaking their testing, and were more than happy to explain the reasoning behind certain things they were doing. After the swabbing on the house was done, they were very helpful and responsive with any questions we had in regards to estimated times for results. Once the results were submitted to us, they were more than helpful when explaining what the numbers meant on the report. I would recommend this team for all substance testing on properties you are looking to purchase. They are professional, responsive, courteous and had some good banter as well. Cheers guys.

Ian Wernham — Google Review

We have worked with the team at Meth Xpert for the last seven years. They are professional and very easy to deal with. Their service is excellent and beyond reproach. Their testing and reporting processes are of a consistently high standard. With meth use and manufacturing of this illicit drug on the rise, we are always confident in their ability to assess the situation and provide quality analysis and results. This can often be a very emotional time for our clients and the team at Meth Xpert are always able to put them at ease and walk them through the process as painlessly as possible. We would recommend them to anyone who is looking at buying, or selling a property.

Team Haman — Harcourts Hamilton

Working in the property industry as a real estate agent I am finding that the methamphetamine problem in the local market is a rising risk. I have been working with Simon and the team at Meth Xpert NZ for some time and can say that when dealing with them I have never had an unhappy client. They are nationwide industry leaders and know their field well, they are always professional, approachable and I have no concerns when referring my trusted clients to them. The small amount that it costs for an indicative test so that I know my clients are making well informed decisions about their future assets puts my mind at ease. Thank you for all the top quality service you provide to all of my clients Meth Xpert NZ, I look forward to working with you on the next one.

EVES Rentals & Property Management have been working with Simon and his team for the past year. Their knowledge and integrity is second to none along with their comprehensive reporting and attention to detail.

Le-Anne Bremner — Waikato/Bay of Plenty Regional Manager, EVES Rentals & Property Management

We have had the pleasure of referring Simon and his team to our valued clients over the last three years. Our vendors and purchasers have always been thoroughly impressed by Simon and his approach. On the occasions where the tests have not been favourable, Simon's advice and work along side the vendor has been truly valued.

Libby Buchanan — Lugtons Real Estate, Hamilton

My husband and I used Meth Xpert New Zealand when we had suspicious behaviour with the tenants at one of our rental properties. We found that Simon and the team went over and beyond to assist us with meth testing the property at short notice. Throughout the whole process Simon was thorough and professional and you could really tell he knows the industry inside and out. Simon held our hands through the process from start to finish and he was able to answer any of the questions we had. The reports were very detailed, easy to understand and showed clear identification in the rooms that the drug was present. I would highly recommend the Meth Xpert team for any pre-purchase or piece of mind meth testing and information in regards to drug testing. We cannot thank you enough Meth Xpert!
