Trevor was amazing. He communicated with me by email beforehand to ensure he understood what needed to be done and I understood the options. He then dropped by to view and discuss further and gave me instructions on what i had to do before he could come back (didn't even charge for that visit). He then came back to do his work - as promised, quickly and efficiently. Excellent service, knowledgeable, great communication. Highly recommended. (this was for installation of smart lock)

Approximate cost: $270

Tyler O'Keefe was referred by a friend. He was at all times punctual, very communicative including by email, quoted a reasonable price and kept to the quote. He even went above and beyond and hung up something on an exterior wall while doing electrical work. He left everything clean. We cannot recommend him highly enough

Approximate cost: $700

Called on Sunday (among 2 plumbers called) - they called me back first, provided an appointment the next day. Arrived on time, great communication, clean and courteous, and reasonable price. Will use again.

Antoine was punctual, professional and a wealth of information about all things digital media. He was conscious of our budget and not wanting to spend a lot, and ensured that what he did to solve the problem was at minimal cost. Highly recommended.

This review is for Wattle Security Doors and Flyscreens, Hampton VIC

I found Julian through Hipages. He came over and provided a quote. He kept to the quote as well as the timeline to repair the screen door. He was professional, courteous and clearly takes pride in his work as he ensured the doors were installed back after repair perfectly. Highly recommended.

This review is for A1 Airport Parking, Westmeadows VIC

verified email - 31 Mar 2013

We used them for the first time last week for a 8 day stay - $75. The cheapest by far. But more than that, it was an exceptional experience. They transferred our bags from car to shuttle and vice versa, when we returned, the shuttle picked us up within minutes, and our car was already waiting when we drove into the lot. Every single person was extremely friendly and professional. I could not fault it.

This review is for Haileybury College, Hampton VIC

verified email - 21 May 2012

We had a very negative experience. Primarily with the teaching quality (in our case Grade 1). But also in the end their treatment of their families and our concerns. Our daughter's teacher did not want to be there, she screamed at her students and would not allow questions as they didn't have time. Their dress rules were absurdly strict, to the point of causing our daughter to break down in tears. When we decided to leave, their administration and charge for a term's fees in lieu of notice was exorbitant and completely unjustified. They are a business and are concerned about their income not your children. Their education style is one size fits all - if you don't fit (whether above or below) bad luck.

Our daughter is now at Hampton primary and is much happier as are we. We would not recommend for anyone to send their kids there, especially not for the fees they charge.

Approximate cost: $16000 p.a.

This review is for Dr Michael Togias Dental Surgery, Brunswick VIC

verified email - 19 Oct 2009

We found this dental surgery through our private health insurer (they provide checkups which are totally rebated through HCF). We actually saw Dr D'Cruz and she was great. Checkups and cleaning were great, and my wife needed some fillings and other work and they were very reasonable out-of-pocket. We also brought our 5yo daughter in for her first checkup, and they were great with her.

Approximate cost: $0-100

This review is for Bayside Blitz, Aspendale VIC

verified email - 19 Oct 2009

When our gardeners decided to close down their business we searched for a new gardener. We interviewed quite a few and Bayside Blitz were the best value. They have been our gardeners for 12 months and done a great job. They do normal maintenance tasks (mowing, trimming, etc) as well as one off jobs (mulching, dig new veggie patch, etc...). They also give plenty of advice and like us are into sustainability and recycling. They come as often as we need them to. Pip is great to deal with.

Approximate cost: $20-30

This review is for Commuter Cycles, Brunswick VIC

verified email - 05 May 2009

They are by my office and I have become a regular. I commute from Brunswick to Hampton every day on my bike and often need something fixed - if nothing else to check my tyre pressure. In the past week I have visited twice and both times they have been able to assist on short notice and within the limited time frame I had. And they're pleasant to deal with.

Approximate cost: $40
