We needed an electrician to do a few odd jobs for us after a complete bathroom renovation. We at first thought that we had found a remarkable tradesman, as he started well. Unfortunately his attitude went down hill when he had to come back again as he did not have the correct fittings. Average service and a bit expensive but he could fit us in quite quickly.

Approximate cost: $800

When we first arrived, we had to wait about 5 min for someone to come and acknowledge us, even though we were the only customers in the shop. The person did look at us a couple of times but did not come. If first impressions count then I was sure we were not coming back. However we ordered 2 family size pizzas for my family. (2 adults, 2 kids). The cost was $40. Once they arrived, we could not believe how big they were. For the first time there was at least 8 slices left for the next day. They were really delicious too, with a wide variety on offer. Since our first encounter we have returned 3 times. There was a different person on the last 2 times taking our order, who was very friendly and efficient. If you love real pizza and hate getting ripped off, then I thoroughly recommend High Wycombes' newest pizza restaurant.

It is a great doctors surgery. It is part of a chain of 3 totally. They bulk bill 99% of visits. They also can organize a podiatrist for one day a week. They also offer a free skin cancer check by appointments on Saturdays at their Kalamunda branch. They provide great service for most cases with the exception of large workers compensation claims. The doctors, nurses and staff are all very helpful and friendly. That makes a difference when you are sick. If you live locally then try Stirk medical, they would not disappoint.

Hello All. I have recently have had a total bathroom renovation done. I hired the team from A1 again to do the tiling, read my review on them. The plumber showed amazing skills whilst working in such a small room, fitting a bathroom package that was not really designed for a brick house. Jason definitely went above and beyond and I fully recommend him to anyone. His price was kept at a minimum and he stuck to his original quote. He went into our 2nd bathroom and fixed up our spa for free, also installed a mirror cabinet onto the wall, went outside and with the leftover putty he patched under the eaves where old work had left holes. The list goes on and on. He fixed up the sealant around our kitchen edge too. He offered a free quote and he displayed professionalism at all times. Well done Jason.

Hi all. When your computer crashes, frustration sets in pretty quick if your like me. The above shop were the quickest to respond to our aid, 2 days. They came to our house, taking about an hour to have a look, charging us a raft of fees including call out etc. After they had finished looking, they told me that to fix the computer it had to go back to their shop for "repairs". Great, the cost just gets better. After a further 2 days, they informed me that it wasn't the computer that was the problem but it was the modem. Of coarse they charged me for everything down to the second, and the new modem as well. Trust me, there is better, faster, and cheaper mobile computer techs out there, just avoid this one.

Hi all. Just a quick one. The staff were exceptionally nice, friendly and courteous. They really believe in trying to save teeth and not having to extract them. The cost was really good, you will find that they are a bit cheaper than most other dentists in the area. My wife and I had thought that we had found the perfect place, cheap friendly and local. That was without the benefit of hindsight. Within 7 months my wife's 2 fillings dropped out and after another 2 months, I lost 1. Needless to say we were shocked and obviously not happy. Initially they denied that the fault lied with them, but once I stepped in [I'm an ex debt collector] they treated us by fixing the fillings. For service and cost they were above average, but if you go there I hope you have better quality work done than us. Have a great day. ( $900 was for a root a canal).

Approximate cost: $900

I have never had so much trouble in my life from a business. After picking out the design and style that worked for my kitchen, I had to wait 2 months for my kitchen to be ready and then a further month for the commencement of the installation. During the installation, the workers cracked the lounge room wall [opposite side to kitchen splash-back]. They just used putty and then left it. I am talking major cracks and many of them. The stone bench top that cost a small fortune, started to lift up, their expert just glued it and left it still sticking up. Honestly I expected more from a $24,000 kitchen installer. Run for the hills on this business good people. Nothing but trouble. Have a fantastic day.

Approximate cost: $24,000

I first met Mr Murray Blakers about 4 years ago. All my finances were in a mess and I really needed a PROFESSIONAL to sort it out. A lot of my problems were initiated by a couple of well known "professional" accountant firms over 2 previous years. Murray has a fantastic attitude, and is extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of taxation and businesses big and small. I actively recommend BMC Accounting to all my friends, my family and now to you. Have a nice day.

This review is for Magic Tiles, Cannington WA

Hi all. My experience at Magic Tile was just a bit above average. When my wife and I arrived at the store, we were greeted within a short time with a polite "hello and how can we help?" We really came to have a look and to compare prices with other shops we had been to. It did not take too long to find the perfect tile to cover half our house's floor. The service was a bit slower this time as the shop was quite full leaving the staff short handed. We were able to negotiate a better price than was on the ticket and they promptly offered the name and number of a tiler to do the job. We declined his offer and found a much better tiler to suite our needs. The big downside to our purchase was to wait for the delivery of the tiles and when they arrived, I had to help the elderly driver manually unload the lot as he looked exhausted. They had a great amount of stock and I would recommend them to anyone who was chasing the perfect tile.

This review is for Slater & Gordon, Joondalup WA

verified email - 04 Mar 2013

After a serious work place accident, I needed a solicitor to help with all the paperwork and understanding the insurance company,s policy. There was many to choose from, all claiming to be experts. I had heard and seen many ads for Slater and Gordon, and a family member had highly
recommended them. My experience so far in this ongoing case, shows them to lack compassion and empathy. They do not call to give me any updates and the just send me impersonal letters of what appointments I have to attend. They seem to be really good at the legal side of things, Which I guess is the most important part. However they seem to be annoyed when I ring them up for advice or questions. They did not offer any advice to start with. At the beginning of my case I was on morphine for 2 weeks as I nearly died, so I was pretty much out of it. During a case conference with my lawyer which I instigated recently, he kept saying " I told you that before". Referring to when I was in RPH on morphine. Needless to say I felt very belittled with his attitude. If I could start over again I would have chosen a different lawyer. Too costly to change now. In summary. They are good in court but lack the personal touch. I hope this has helped the people reading this, decide who is the best to represent you in the future.
