Doug is a ripper, simple as that. Look no further for an electrician.

From my first call to Fairbairns, it was a pleasurable experience. Appointment on time, quote provided reasonably quickly, booked within 2 weeks and job (re-location of a ducted unit and installation of new vents) completed within 3 hours.

Of all the mechanics I've had over 30 years, Graham is by far the best in all aspects, the most important being trustworthiness.

Danny was very accommodating in the booking process with me changing the date 3 times. His show was enthralling to the kids at our 6 y/o birthday party and also very entertaining for the adults. He is also a master balloon twister. Highly recommended.

Approximate cost: $280.00

Pete's knowledge of all things hardware related is quite amazing. If you come to him with a problem, he will always have a way to fix or do it. if he doesn't supply what you're after, he will be able to point you in the right direction.

In these days of upmarket fish and chip shops, these guys are old school - just great fish, chips, potato cakes and burgers at a good price - ask for the sea bream!

Have been my 3 y/o son there for 6 months for a pronated right foot and their diagnoses was something 3 top specialists didn't offer. The improvement in realigning his foot through massage to the back and hip has been splendid.

I've seen a few Traditional Chinese medicine practitioners/acupuncturists over the years and she (Hua, pron. hwah) is as good as any. She fixed a hip tendon problem I've had in 4 visits and is well on the way to healing a severe 'tennis elbow'. Plus, she works Sundays and is health insurance claimable.

Approximate cost: $40/half hr
