They installed a solatube quickly and efficiently. I compared prices and found theirs to be quite competitive. They seemed to be quite knowledgeable and were helpful and polite. I would recommend them.

They run a fantastic weekly social skills drama programs for young people, particularly suited to those with Aspergers syndrome or autism. Very enjoyable with exceptionally good content as well. I would definitely highly recommend it.

This review is for Future Technix, Nunawading VIC

Prices seemed ok but service was below par. Once they got paid they were no longer interested in helping to sort out issues which were there from the time of installation. I wouldn't go back to them.

This review is for Jactec Electrical Services, Rowville VIC

Jess did a fair bit of work on my electricals. He and his apprentice went out of their way to be helpful and did some extras with no charge. I had a few quotes and found his rates to be reasonable. They were honest and friendly, saved me money by advising me that some of the work I had considered doing was not necessary. I would definitely recommend them.

This review is for 13 CABS, Melbourne VIC

verified email - 24 Sep 2011

We've used them many times to travel between the eastern suburbs and Melbourne airport. Over the past year especially the experience has been hair-raising and unpleasant. The cab drivers have often driven recklessly and over the speed limit. They have GPSs but don't know the way and drive in the opposite direction unless you stop them. The latest arrived with a car boot half full of his spare tyre with hardly any space for luggage despite our pre-booking specification that we were going to the airport. He was argumentative and unhelpful, drove like a maniac, tailgating and speeding all the way. Many of their drivers seem to be from some other part of the world with no respect for Australian road rules. They shouldn't be licenced to drive, let alone carry passengers. If anyone knows of a cab company which sends out safe drivers that follow road rules, please let me know. We really need to find another cab company that will take us to the airport without risking our necks.

Approximate cost: $73

This review is for Children's Dentistry Dr Mala Desai, Balwyn North VIC

verified email - 23 Sep 2010

We've been with Dr Mala for a few years and found her to be an excellent pediatric dentist who makes going to the dentist a pleasant experience for kids. The place is set up to be child friendly with videos to watch as the dentist works on their teeth. No more tears over going to the dentist. Dr Mala is amazing and has fixed and saved teeth no other dentist could. It costs a fair bit but I find the money well spent cos teeth, esp permanent teeth, once they are gone are quite irreplaceable.

This review is for Fish Pier, Doncaster VIC

I regularly buy fish from them and find their fish to be pretty fresh. Sometimes they sell fillets of fish that other places don't fillet, which saves me the trouble of trying to do if myself.

This review is for Triple 8 Cleaning Services, Moorabbin VIC

verified email - 23 Sep 2010

We had our carpets steam cleaned. I checked a couple of other steam cleaners and found the price quoted by Triple 8 to be pretty good. The employee on the phone was helpful and polite. However, when they came they said the carpets needed more than the usual steam clean and were not polite when I chose just the regular clean. They decided not to give me back my change, hence, charging more than quoted. I won't be having them back again.

Approximate cost: $69 for 3 rooms
