Good bike repair shop

I have used these guys for several years for all my bike servicing and repairs. They get me back on the road quickly with reasonable prices. They always seem to have the parts I need in stock.

Approximate cost: $80

I bought a new set of wheels for my road bike when mine packed it in. They had what I wanted in stock and included installation that day, all for a cheaper price than everyone else.

Did a reasonable job installing a new window

Did a reasonable job installing a new window

Jerry's guys (Chris and Raymond) installed a new window for me. They had to enlarge the opening in a double brick house, as the new window was much larger. The mortar in the original brickwork was found to be of poor quality, so they removed much of the bricks below the window and replaced them with new mortar. This meant that it took them a lot longer to complete the job, but they stuck to their original quote, without complaining. I would use them again for a similar job.

Approximate cost: $675

Very competitively priced and a good job

Very competitively priced and a good job

Ron and his team plastered a few rooms in a house I was renovating in Richmond. Their price was very competitive and they completed the job when they said they would. I wouldn't reccomend them if you want really high quality work, but for basic plastering at a cheap price they were great. That said, I have no problems with the quality of the work that they did for me. The guys were all friendly.

Approximate cost: $2300

Good business employing lots of plumbers = fast service

Good business employing lots of plumbers = fast service

They installed a spa heater for me that I had purchased seperately. They were able to come the next day and installed it within a couple of hours. Their charges were reasonable, at $60 for the first hour, including the call out. I have subsequently been told that the young plumber who did the installation installed the heater a little close to the pool filter, however it's not causing me any problems, and it wouldn't cost much to rectify.

Approximate cost: $200

I needed a mechanic urgently, becasue I noticed that my car was leaking a lot of oil in the driveway. Tony fixed my oil leak, replaced the oil filter and changed the oil in my car for $70. And all this on a Saturday afternoon with 2 hours notice! Very polite and friendly, explained everything to me and plain english. Highly reccomend.
