They were very helpful...the price was not super cheap but the service was great...I had a flat and they were closest...I had a coffee & a cake in Macca's while reading the paper and they phoned when it was ready...I was extremely stressed at situation...they put me a ease and the car was clean on outside...no greasy marks after work done like I had from another Tyre place previously...

job was over quickly no fussing or messing around will definitely go there next time I need new tires...

Approximate cost: $30

This review is for The Beer Shed, Kirrawee NSW

Hubby and his buddies went of and did some male bonding while making up a batch of Honey cream lager...been raving about it since...got to taste a few before deciding on what they wanted...the beer is preservative free which means it needs to be stored in a fridge...

this was a problem with another home brew place he tried before...not enough room in the fridge at home for the brew...but this place will let you store it there and you can pick it up when you need it...

cost wise...a case of beeze knees cost $69 for 24 bottles...this worked out at $36 for a similar tasting beer...

there are up front costs...like the bottles...you can take your own non twist tops but they all shelled out $70 for 150 bottles and you can reuse these...you can even clean these on the premises... you leave your brew for the prescribed weeks and then you go back and bottle it...they provide caps and a caping station..

There is always someone there to show you what to do and they have foxtel playing, a pool table and a bbq for boys to use...

Must have been great they are still talking about it and have planned a 2nd visit...

you can even put your own labels on the bottles for that special occasion..

total outlay after bottle was $175 for 160 bottles of beer...and they split this between 4 of them.

Approximate cost: $175

They listen to what I wanted...made my new lounge to my specs...I wanted a taller lounge with a deep seat...oh my goodness its so wonderful to be able to sit comfortably on a lounge after all these years..

they are not cheap but you certainly get what you pay for and it all comes with a warranty..

they are great to deal with and kept us in the loop re delivery...they even took away my old lounge for free...

I saved up for this lounge and am just soo happy..had it for 3 years now and still in love with it...

It has not dated and I will have it recovered which they also do...

they do repairs, new and even restore antique stuff. Its a small business and the shop/factory is tucked away down an lane in Waratah street next to Emery's Oysters.

I had 2 x 2 half seaters lounges manufactured for $3800...these will never end up on the council clean up.

Approximate cost: $3800

great service...sometimes hard to park so going through week in the days is better...
the range is great...there 3 chooks for $12 is my fav...I roast them all up and freeze for
lunch meat...lasts weeks frozen in portion sizes...

Staff are friendly and will take your heavy stuff to car...they know about the chicken...can tell you best way to cook if asked...$40 is enough chicken for 2 weeks

Approximate cost: $40

Prices are cheap...they are sooo helpful.. They will cut up meat for you and have a butcher in store who know the things you need to know...I asked what was better gravy beef or chuck steak for slow cookers...he said gravy beef...and it was the cheaper..

asked about cheaper pork...they had great prices on pork roasts and he cut in half for us even though it was packaged up...

great value for money and helps us make our meat buys go that extra week...we buy meat for 4 weeks...only cost $180 with enough for 6 wks

Approximate cost: $180
