I have often taken my memory card to Harvey Norman in Moorabbin and always get excellent fast service. My photo's are usually ready in about 20 minutes, and as there is so much to look at in the other departments it is no hassle to wait.

Approximate cost: $5.00

I have been in this shop several times with my wife when she has been looking for clothes or gifts. The shop changed hands a few months ago and the two women who run it are fantastic with there clients. They are happy for the women to try on the clothes and give honest opinions on their looks in them. The gift section of the shop has some lovely nick knacks to choose from

I have purchased several things from Ted's over the years Including a Sony video camera, Pentax SLR camera, Kodak easy digital camera, Nikon F 80 Film camera, Nikon SLR D80 digital camera and had photo's developed by them. When I have purchased the camera's I have been given free membership of Ted's camera club. This has intitled me to so many free photo developments a month for twelve months

This review is for Chriss Cann Plumbing, Langwarrin VIC

We have had a few things done by Chris. When we first moved into the house we had all the tap washers changed, a food masher removed from under the sink and pipes checked. A little while after this we had him install a rain water tank. Chris supplied the Tank Pump and all piping needed plus did the work for a reasonable price. We have also had some of the gutters replaced

This review is for Flynn Heating, Black Rock VIC

We turned our ducted gas heater on for the first time this winter and nothing happened. I had a quick look but couldn't see a way to start it. We rang Flynn heating as they had a service sticker on the unit. They came out the next day in the morning. After a bit of hunting around he found that a part had burnt out and needed replacing. He replaced this and started it up and it has worked ever since

Approximate cost: $157.00

This review is for Gas-It, Cheltenham VIC

I had LP Gas installed in my 2003 BA fairlane just about one year ago now. They did the job as and when quoted. The gas tank was installed in the boot of the Fairlane and the filler was put behind the petrol filler flap which makes it easy to fill up with both fuels if necessary. They did all the paper work for me, so I only had to hand it in at the local medicare centre to claim the Government rebate of $2000.00. So the whole exercise cost me $600.00. With the difference in the price of Gas to Petro; I have well and truly saved the cost plus

Approximate cost: $2600.00 less $2000.00 Gov rebate = $600.00

This review is for Total Auto Care, Dandenong VIC

verified email - 10 May 2009

I have had a couple of Fairlanes looked after by Total AutoCare. Shane the owner and Lockie the mechanic. All the work that has been done on the cars, including road worthy certificates has been done completely to my satisfaction. They have made an appointment for me and given me a pick up time. The cars have always been ready when I have arrived. If they think something is going to need doing in the near future they let you know so that you are forwarned. The prices are very good compared to other places. Finally every thing is done with a smile and a joke, so you go away feeling that it couldn.t have been done any better

Approximate cost: $150.00

This review is for Epworth Hospital, Melbourne VIC

verified email - 10 May 2009

I have been going to Epworth Hospital for about 6 years now. Mainly with heart problems. When I have been in the emergency department I have found them highly efficient. In the wards the Nursing staff have been fantastic. Nothing is to much trouble for them, there friendly nature helps you when you are in a low point. The Doctors do what they have to do with the minimum of fuss. The cleaning staff do a very good job in a place that must be hard to face at times.

Approximate cost: $?

This review is for Total Computer Maintenance, Moorabbin VIC

verified email - 10 May 2009

My old computer was running very slow and I needed to update it. I shopped around to other computer places. Some made them to order and others were major electrical retailers. Just by chance I drove past T.C.M. which is near my home. So I went back and had a talk to Rob the manager. After having a look at the quotes that I had got he worked out what he could do and came up with a figure beating the others by around $50.00 from the next lowest. over $250.00 from the highest. They then gave me a time for having the computer ready for me. They built the computer from scratch and supplied a 19" LCD monitor. Windows XP Home edition and a few other things that I had asked for. The computer was ready on time and has been good to use. i would definitely use them again

Approximate cost: $840.00
