This review is for Dr Andrew The House Call Vet, Surrey Hills VIC

I read the reviews for Dr.Andrew and was impressed so decided to give him a go. We found him to be a very understanding vet who is both compassionate and realistic (we have a very old dog). As he is a mobile vet, he comes prepared with whatever 'equipment' may be required (we had to put an Elizabethan collar on) and his prices are reasonable. It was so helpful that home visits as we struggled to get our local vet to do the same without SO much effort and additional expense. Dr.Andrew is flexible and delivers medication without extra cost - that is really helpful when we're all busy! My dog does not like Vets AT ALL and apart from being so old it is hard to transport him, he nearly kills the vet during the visit as he does not like them (bit like us and the dentist I would suspect). Dr.Andrew has a way (together with his treats) of making an assessment without our dog knowing he's a vet :o). I would recommend Dr.Andrew as a great vet.

Currently residing in Camberwell and named Saka-Taya - in Camberwell Rd, East Hawthorn - near the Rivoli. LOVE this place - it has always been a favourite when it was in Burwood and we were devastated when it closed due to renovations. Estatic when it re-opened in Camberwell - food and service just as good as always. Haven't been able to find another Japanese restaurant which makes our favourites - yakitori, teriyaki, tazuna maki, etc. - will always recommend them for a great meal.

Disappointing! Wasn't happy with my mechanic so rang around and decided to give them a go. Price seemed reasonable although when I turned up, they tried to charge me more... Just wanted a 70,000km service which is quite std. They called me up to tell me I needed extra things done such as a cracked drive belt, wiper arm (not just the rubber) and new air filter. I didn't go ahead as the cost was very expensive and I wasn't prepared to pay more. Their comments were if I didn't fix quickly, the car would not work. I don't know anything about cars and believe they were using the scare tactic on me - yes I was worried but wanted to get another opinion. Took it to another mechanic and asked them to do the 3 things Kmart had said. They checked it all out and just changed the air filter at a cheaper price! Wont go back to Kmart auto anymore! You get worse than what you pay for...

Went in to get a new watch battery - was quoted $10 as opposed to watch place in Chaddie wanting to charge me $17.95. She came back and stated no charge as she'd checked the battery and it was ok - just dirty contacts.
