Great car wash place, good value, nice free coffee and a loyalty programme where you get the 6th wash free. I am glad I tried it out and will definitely go back. Was impressed with the attention to detail and finish. You have several options depending on budget, the $29 will cover interior and exterior wash and free coffee. I think that is very reasonable.

Approximate cost: $29

I recently had a party and wanted to print 200 photos to give to friends. I heard about this place from a friend who knows a professional photographer who goes there. I asked them to print three photos - colour and black/white, then went to another photo store and did the same. I couldn't believe the difference in results (when you paid the same price - about 19-15c each for digital photos). Digidirect uses Fuji photo paper and the photos were so much sharper than HP paper. You don't even have to wait 24 hours and they will give you the photos in 10-15 min. The service was so great too, the lady was helpful and even offered coffee. I am so happy with the results and printed my 200 photos there, and even joined as a VIP. It would be hard to find another quality photo processor of the same standard around the city.

Approximate cost: $15c per photo

We cannot ask for a better photographer than Raoul. He photographed our recent wedding and even the guests loved him. His manner is friendly, professional and there is nothing bad I can say about him. I viewed our wedding photos and they are just fabulous. We wanted candid shots that capture the day, and that's exactly what he delivered. Nothing stylised and over the top. Do yourself a favour and at least give him a call before you settle on anyone.

I got these guys to service our air conditioners, mainly for a clean. Andrew came along, and brought another guy with him to speed up the job. These guys detected a leaking pipe shortly after they had a look. Had they not found this I would have a major problem with leaking. They fixed the problem right away and cleaned up pretty well afterwards. I found them really courteous, prompt and efficient. Their prices are really reasonable too.

If you want someone really careful with your furniture, ask for Arthur. He is not the fastest bloke but his team is super careful with your stuff. They charge about 140 per hour, which is not the cheapest but I would rather pay more if you have expensive furniture. If you have cheap furniture then you might want to shop around first for something cheaper. They are really polite, and get the job done. Expect two days work if you are not doing the packing yourself and you are moving a family. I underestimated how long moving takes!

Approximate cost: $140 per hour

I went to this salon after seeing all those wow reviews. Well, it was clean and you get your own bag to store the nail file used on you. That's pretty cool. It's quiet, and if you park on Level two at chatswood chase, it's the first store when you enter the shopping centre. But frankly, I wouldn't say it's the best job I've had, but this store scores high on hygiene (which is really important to me) and quietness. I will come again.

Approximate cost: $65

The city store is really new and the staff very experienced. Their brazilians are only 30 and 25 only if you go within 4 weeks. The service was much better than ones that cost 70 bucks. The therapist I had wasn't rough and knew what she was doing. I think their products are just fine, no complaints!

Approximate cost: $30

Their website says they are brazilian experts so I gave them a go. The therapists were all fairly young, and the manager was friendly. The therapist who did the waxing was very very quick, it was all finished in less than 10 mins. I found it a bit rough and she didn't tidy up the landing strip with some simple trimming..so I had to do it myself! But overall it's not bad, there is metered parking or park at Broadway and walk up for 5 mins.

Approximate cost: $40
