They tend to look down on you as a customer that wants to do it yourself, but have the good. Their prices are competitive, and they carry a good supplky of stock. They offer a mobile service.

I have bought lots of batteries here, for tractors, trucks and cars and have always been satisfied. They can supply cheaper ones at times and they perform just as well. The (lady) staff are very helpful. They carry a full range of phone batteries as well as ones for other electronic devices.

Good selection, especially of second hand and reconditioned 'fridges. Good for repairs too at a reasonable cost. Not the fanciest showrooms though. They have both commercial and domestic appliances.

Asked for advice, and was ignored for a while. The advice was good, the attitude surly, as in take it or leave it I don't care. Has the product and charges for it.

We had to board our two cats, who are just like children to us, for 2 months. We searched the yellow pages and then visited all the catteries in our area. We were thrilled with Catarama. This place is so unlike any other cattery we had seen. You really must check it out if you need this service.

I love shopping here and I often pick up great 'specials' for home. Recently, some ready-made curtains were on sale for $39 a pair and I find the quality of their materials to be excellent.

I used to be a regular customer of this salon because the prices were very affordable. I feel that recent price increases now put this business into the very 'ordinary' category and the quality and service are 'ordinary' too. I find I can do better elsewhere.

Teresa owns the business and is the greatest for haircuts. She is a one woman band and I can always rely on walking out feeling like a million dollars. She does not employ staff so you have to make sure you book well in advance. I'm not sure I should be reviewing this business because this secret was probably best kept to myself and a few good friends.

I decided to try this salon because I had been disappointed on the last visit to my usual hairdressing salon. I needed a perm, semi-colour and a haircut. I was a little disappointed with the perm on this first visit but went back again 5 months later and the perm was great.
