I've used these guys a few times. They provide a decent service at a decent price. I haven't had to worry about being ripped off like I have at other mechanics. Would recommend.

Great food. Lots of seating. Very friendly and polite staff. Seems to be popular with the locals, and have noticed that quite a few people order take-away from there. Would definitely recommend.

Approximate cost: $10-18

Great food. Poorly laid out restaurant. Most of their business seems to be as takeaway as a result. Best to call your order ahead, or you may find you'll be waiting a while. A little bit expensive, compared to others, but there food is very nice.

Approximate cost: $11-16

This review is for Taco Bill Mexican Restaurant, Croydon VIC

Only went there the one time, and once was more than enough. The furnishings looked like they're out of the 70's. Very tired, old and dirty. There was only one other table of people there. Despite having so many tables open they chose to cram us into a corner next to the noisy kitchen at the back. They took about 20 minutes to come and take our order. The food was brought out in reasonable time, but it was absolute slop. It looked like dog food, and didn't taste much better. On top of that, their prices were ludicrous. I have no idea how they remain in business.

Approximate cost: $$$$

Their food is very good. Every once in a while it will have a slight greasy taste to it, but it's normally very good. They're always very friendly. They could be a little more attentive to their front counter, as there's been a few times I've had to wait a few minutes just for someone to come out from the kitchen to take my order. They usually have the orders made within 10 minutes. Their lunch and dinner packs are great value, and are probably my favourite.

Their food is best when the man cooks, because he's more generous with the real ingredients; when the lady cooks, she gives you too much rice and not enough of the rest. He's usually more attentive to the counter too. I don't know what days he works, but ideally you should try to order when he's cooking.

Approximate cost: $7.50 - $12.00

This review is for 777 Thai Take Away, Mooroolbark VIC

Their Green Curry is probably my favourite, but they have a great variety of thai food. I don't know of a better Thai Takeaway in the area. They're always very friendly, and remember my name. Their numeracy skills could be better, because I'm often over and under-charged, so just double check their arithmetic. Their could be cheaper, but as in life you get what you pay for, and they are the best in Thai food.

Approximate cost: $10-$14

This review is for Dooleys Mens Hair Stylist, Ringwood East VIC

I've been to at least a dozen different barbers in the area over the years, looking for the best. I can honestly say that Bob gives the best haircut I've had. He's always cheerful, and his haircuts are always consistent and great. He's the kind of guy you know who is proud of what he does and isn't happy with anything less than perfect, so you know your haircut will be good. At $21, he is the second most expensive of the barbers I've tried, but I guess you get what you pay for, and he is the best.

Approximate cost: $21

I went there once a couple of years ago, when I was trying out a bunch of different barbers in the area looking for the best one. My haircut from there was ok. Very quick and friendly. I would go there again I guess if my favourite barber shop shut down. They're good, but not the best.

Approximate cost: $20

This review is for Ultra Tune, Lilydale VIC

Maybe my opinions on oil changes have become jaded from having lived in the US, where they take just 15 minutes, and cost around $30. You can guess what I'm going to think of an oil change that cost $170 and took 3 hours. If that seems acceptable to you, then don't let me stop you.

Did they change the oil? Sure. I didn't realize that emptying my wallet and wasting my day was part of the package though.

Approximate cost: $170

This review is for Gigandabit Computers, Mooroolbark VIC

My laptop had locked up so I took it in to Gigandabit to see if they could help. They asked for a week to fix it and they delivered as promised. They had to replace my hard drive, and were able to retrieve everything from my old hard drive. I found them very honest and helpful, and would definitely recommend them without hesitation.

Approximate cost: $250
