This review is for A Aardvaark Auto Electrics Mobile Service, Carindale QLD

My higher end vehicle required a starter motor, and Graeme was able to obtain a new replacement (rather than a reconditioned one that the dealer was going to provide) for over $200 cheaper. Service was exceptional and I would not hesitate to recommend this business to anyone!

Approximate cost: $600

This review is for Allied Moving Services, Dandenong VIC

verified email - 11 Apr 2014

Booked a small job to move about 2 m3 of my 90 year old mum's furniture to a new home.

FAIL - I asked a number of times for a estimated delivery date - even suggesting what date I expected. NO - we can't do that!

FAIL - Manager of the consultant I had been dealing with - "We have all the communications we had with you here, and no where does it say what you claim" WRONG - my emails are clear proof of my expectations and that you didn't disclose that it could be up to 14 days... She ended up making out that it was MY fault!!

FAIL - My Brother is taking delivery of the items at the new premises - here is his number please call him prior to delivery - NO called me.

FAIL - Delivery will be at 11.30am. WRONG - 2 hours later the guys turn up and say - no it was never meant to be 11.30am.

The only good thing is that the pickup guys and delivery guys were fantastic (sub-contractors!)

OVERALL - Never use them - they admit to not disclosing delivery timeframes unless you specifically ask - though even then, they didn't do that for me!

Approximate cost: $500

This review is for Superior Fences Group, Brendale QLD

verified email - 26 Sep 2013

I had a short fence to repair, and I wanted to match an existing fence put up by a previous owner. Tim was excellent and was able to order the fence components, and have them delivered. I did the job myself, and everything was included - it made it so simple. I would recommend talking to these guys if you are doing any sort of fencing job at home!

Approximate cost: $700

This review is for Grandma's Pantry, Capalaba QLD

I discovered this wonderful shop whilst going to another outlet in the same centre.

The bulk goods are fantastic, and are more extensive than a chain natural/bulk food store that everyone might know.

It was great to find items I had never seen - given that I do know a lot about food and ingredients. Like the Banana Flour, and the range of gluten free mixes, ingredients and supporting recipe cards are a real bonus!

Congratulations on a fantastic store - in a fantastic centre!

I have been looking for a special piece of equipment for my home gym - a stretch trainer - and Grays Fitness, because they get trade in gear from gyms etc, they had one - I had been searching for over 12 months.

Within a day, all my questions answered, invoice arrived, paid, and ready for shipping. I look forward to it arrival!

Service and advice was great - couldn't have been better!

This review is for Hawthorne Wellness Centre, Hawthorne QLD

My wife and I have made numerous visits now to the musculoskeletal therapist Bonnie - who has helped me greatly to recover from a serious back injury through remedial massage and targeted therapy.

The centre continues to grow and they have a wide variety of services and practitioners.

I highly reccomend their services if you are suffering from aches pains or injuries!

Approximate cost: $85

This review is for Absolute Dental Care, Taringa QLD

verified email - 27 Jun 2013

My wife and I are very particular when it comes to a dentist, especially since she only recently got her first filling, it was important to get someone good and gentle!

Dr Lisa is the perfect choice - very nice, gentle manner and clearly very good at what she does. She does after hours appointments for those working longer hours.

Approximate cost: $150

This review is for Biome, Brisbane QLD

verified email - 27 Jun 2013

Well, the point of a site like Womo is for people to find stores and businesses who offer service and/or products that are out of the ordinary. Well, Biome fits that bill perfectly.

My wife and I are regular visitors, in store, and have shopped online as well (we love the regular e-newsletters!). There is always something new, and unique - a perfect place to buy someone a thoughtful present, or to pick up some of the lovely organic liquorice.

Thanks for being one of those places we think of first when someone's birthday is coming up, or when I want to spoil my wife!

Approximate cost: $20

This review is for Pan Thai Restaurant, Camp Hill QLD

verified email - 27 Jun 2013

Pan Thai has been open for a number of years now, and they continue to get better and better. Their Friday night buffet is probably one of the best value feeds you can get anywhere in Brisbane, and the food just keeps coming.

Produce is very fresh and the eat in portions are very large. Take Away is also awesome - but be wary that on Friday and Saturday nights, your order might take a while if they are busy!

I have some vegetarian friends, and they love Pan Thai, as they cater for them with ease and no fuss.

Approximate cost: $16

This review is for Bowers Berries, Chandler QLD

verified email - 23 Jun 2013

Clayton, owner of Bowers Berries goes to the Chandler Markets every Sunday in growing season, from May to October.

I have been buying his berries for two years now, and with the new season, he is back again. His berries are superior to anything you can buy at a supermarket, with flavour and aroma 10/10.

It is a small family business, and as far as I know, the Chandler markets is the only place he sells. Get there by 10.30am or he will more than likely be sold out!

Approximate cost: $4 a punnet max!
