We had our washing machine repaired by these guys and I was really happy with the service. They arranged a convenient time to come to the house and we didn't have to wait long. They arrived on time, did the repairs quickly and gave us advice on how to avoid the same problem occuring again. The price was reasonable considering they needed to replace a part.

These guys cleaned a mattress in our home after a pet "accident". They arranged a time very quickly and were able to arrive the very same day we called. They did excellent work and gave us all the information we required. I didn't think their rates were the cheapest around but we needed someone quickly so it was reasonable enough for us at the time.

This review is for Dolphin Laundry Services, Coogee NSW

verified email - 12 Jun 2010

I used this laundromat a number of times when I lived nearby and was without a washing machine. They do a decent bag clean and dry cleaning, but it's not exactly cheap. Their opening hours are not very convenient for someone working full tim either.
I usually used another place as it was too difficult for me to get there when they were open.

This review is for NCSS Maintenance Services Pty Ltd, Prospect NSW

verified email - 12 Jun 2010

I recently had my laptop repaired by NCSS and was very unhappy with the whole service. As the laptop was under warranty I had to take it to an authorised repairer. The closest was NCSS who are over an hour drive from my home in Metro Sydney.
The repair was very slow, it took months when it really should've taken only a few weeks. When the repair was finally completed, I tried to organise the laptop to be returned to me by courier, which they flatly refused to do. The laptop was actually sent out to the repairer by the store I had purchased it from, but they refused to courier it back to me or the store even though I offered to pay the costs. This meant I had to take a day off work and drive an hour there to pick it up then drive an hour back! I wrote a complaint and emailed them but it took over a week to get any response and by then already picked up my laptop.
The repair was expensive and not covered by warranty, but I am aware that this is quite standard for the industry. The work they did was of a good quality and they saved all the files that were on my laptop.
I would not use them again as I feel their customer service is very poor, and they caused me a huge amount of inconvenience.

Approximate cost: $1000.00

This review is for R & R Workshop, Haberfield NSW

I've been going to these mechanics for years and have always been happy with them. They are extremely competent and honest, they do quality work quickly and their prices are very reasonable.
As a younger woman who knows nothing about cars, I find it intimidating to go to a mechanic, and worry that I'll be ripped off. That's why I am loyal to R & R - they are very honest and straightforward and explain things to me in terms I can understand. They don't take advantage of my ignorancc, talk down me or act innapropriately
Usually when I get a quote I'll ask a friend who actually knows about cars to check if the quote is legit and reasonable, and the answer is always a yes. They are not cose to my home but I am happy to travel to them because a good and trustworthy mechanic is hard to find. I feel totally comfortable with these guys workn my car and would recommend them to anyone.

This review is for Paul Mulcahy Plumbing, Matraville NSW

verified email - 06 Jun 2010

Paul has done work on unit about 3 or 4 times in the last year and a half. He's fixed our shower, toilet and gas lines.
He's really reliable, punctual and has even visited the unit once at 7pm because neither my flatmate or I could be there at any other time. He's easy to get in contact with and on the rare occasion that he misses a call he calls back asap.
He does very thorough work and explains to us exactly what the problem is and how he's repairing it, in terms we can understand.
He's a friendly and trustworthy person too. I would feel 100% comfortable in leaving a key for him to do a repair if neither my flatmate or I could be home at a convenient time.
His rates are more than reasonable too. I would recommend Paul to anyone in the area who needs a good plumber.

This review is for Two Men and a Truck, St Leonards NSW

verified email - 06 Jun 2010

I used this service about two years ago and they were very good, but a bit expensive.
Booking was easy and quick, and they sent me a confirmation email on the spot then a reminder email the day before.
The removalists were on time, professional, helpful and friendly. They did an excellent job and were very careful with any delicate items. They put the heavy items exactly where I asked in the house which was really helpful as my flatmate and I are both quite small girls and we would have had a lot of trouble moving things around.
My only problem with them was the price. They certainly weren't the most expensive movers I've ever used but they weren't the cheapest either. However they had a large truck and the cheapest movers I've ever had used a ute, so if you require a large truck then I would recommend these guys.

This review is for Ewaste, Sydney NSW

verified email - 06 Jun 2010

Our old washing machine recently broke down and we had to get it removed and disposed of. I collected about 6 different quotes and Ewaste was the cheapest by nearly $20.
I got the quote and booked online, then a staff member called to confirm all the details and organise a time. I was able to get my preferred time the very next day. They could have even organised a time the day I booked but I preferred the next morning.
The removalist was on time and called 15min before arrival as promised. He did the job quickly and was careful not to make a mess or bump our furniture. He was polite and professional, as was the girl who called me from office to confirm the booking.
The best part is that the company is environmentally friendly, and they recycle 95-98% of the waste they collect!
I could not be more impressed with this service. If I ever need electronic waste removal again I will go straight to Ewaste.

Approximate cost: $66.00

This review is for Two Mates And A Ute, Maroubra NSW

verified email - 06 Jun 2010

I've used a few different removalists in the past few years and these guys were by far the best.
They came out on a sunday with only a few hours notice. They were quick, efficient and careful with delicate items. They only have a ute rather than a large truck, but for me this was plenty.
The best thing about them was the price - they charged about half of what some other movers I've used have charged me!
I couldn't recommend these guys highly enough.

This review is for Nail Belle Salon, Sydney NSW

verified email - 06 Jun 2010

I had acrylic nails done here once for my brother's wedding. They were one of the few salons open late enough for me considering my work hours at the time.
The staff were very nice and friendly and they did a good job. The salon was well-presented and comfortable. They did a good job on my nails.
The price was a little steep, but it was average for salons in the city. I wouldn't go to this salon regularly for that reason, but if I needed the occassional late appointment in the city then I would definitely go back.

Approximate cost: $60.00
