I’m very happy to recommend Sandun (Elongate Trading Private Limited ) to anyone planning to import a vehicle to Sri Lanka. We recently purchased a vehicle through his company, and the whole process was handled very professionally and transparently. Since I was coordinating everything from overseas, I needed someone I could fully trust, and Sandun handled pretty much everything from start to finish. I honestly didn’t have to worry much at all. He shared the original auction sheet and all the important vehicle details clearly, so we knew exactly what we were buying before moving forward. What I appreciated the most was his honest guidance throughout the process. Sandun has many years of experience in the vehicle industry, and his knowledge really helped us make the right decision with confidence. He also took care of customs clearance, RMV registration, insurance, emission test, number plates, and all related work without unnecessary delays. Overall, Sandun is a legend. The whole process was smooth, clear, and stress-free. I would confidently recommend him to anyone looking for a genuine vehicle and reliable support with the import process.

Highly recommended for anyone looking for a genuine vehicle. I recently bought a Wagon R FX from Elongate Trading and was very impressed with their service, transparency, and professionalism throughout the entire process. • Pricing was very fair and well aligned with the current market, making the purchase feel worthwhile. • All original auction sheets and import-related documents were shared upfront, which gave full confidence about the vehicle condition. • The entire process including custom clearance, RMV registration, and insurance was handled efficiently without any delays or stress. • They also provided helpful guidance throughout the purchase and offer Magcity Warranty, which is a big plus since only a few importers provide it. • After the deal was completed, they even came in person to hand over printed number plates and number plate covers, which was a nice finishing touch. Overall, the experience was smooth and reliable. Elongate Trading is a trustworthy place to buy a vehicle, and I’m happy with the service provided. Thank you!

I have purchased two vehicles from Sandun. One was a Toyota Belta that had already been imported. The other is the vehicle I am currently using, a Toyota Axio (WXB). I have known Sandun for many years, and he is a very genuine, trustworthy, and reliable person. I did not experience any technical or other issues with the Toyota Belta, and after using it for five years, I sold it at a significant profit. I am extremely satisfied with my Toyota Axio, and when I decide to sell it, I will definitely ask Sandun to import another vehicle for me. In addition to selling vehicles, he also provides valuable advice on insurance, maintenance, and repairs. He is highly committed to his work and genuinely wants his customers to receive the best value for their money. I wish Sandun and Elongated Trading (PVT) LTD all the very best and continued success in the future.
