I run a car park and asked Allan for a better deal on my customer's cars. He did. The cars were perfectly cleaned. The staff were friendly and willing. The manager, Juan took extra time to clean one car by removing the kiddie seats. I was impressed. You can wash and vacuum your car yourself or go through the machine. The prices are much cheaper than any other car wash in the area. There is a fun atmosphere as it's packed all the time with happy customers. Good on you, Allan for being so compliant and helpful. I will always take my cars there now. It's also handy when I am picking up someone from the airports as I can get it washed prior to their arrival.

Oh well, everything was perfectly cooked and delicious. I love Italian the most. Their seafood platter is just fabulous. The sauce is to die for. They put lettuce on the bottom and works really well. Bruschetta - perfect, lots of onions, yum. The garlic bread had lots of garlic although my sister doesn't like too much of it. Great, more for me. I was their first order tonight (home delivery) and it was here in 15 mins. The woman who takes the orders is very nice, professional and willing to please her customer. She calls you 'darl' which I quite like - it's friendly. Prices are very good with generous portions. The chicken schnitzel is $20 with two large pieces and veg.

it's a huge store and i can get lost in there for quite a while looking at everything. they stock a huge array of office supplies/equipment/furniture, even coffee and lollies in large bags! the staff are knowledgeable and willing to help. the management will always help you with a problem. i lost my receipt for a broken printer but they honoured it and replaced it.

it's a tiny store packed with all sorts of Indian food stuffs. also, hair oils, hair colours and other typical things Indians use. there are frozen foods, halal meat and fish. the huge amount of spices and legumes will fascinate you.

Spiros, the owner did a very good job with my tax return. He knows his stuff and got me a few deductions that I didn't think of. I did try with some of my own deductions that weren't valid, unfortunately! I received a refund from the ATO. I will use him for this year's tax return. His office is next to where I live. too easy

everything is cheaper here. they don't stock everything and I go to Woolies for some things. the quality is excellent. i love browsing the specials. they have all sorts of things to buy besides groceries. they sell alcohol now and it's also very cheap.
