I chose Brian based on another WOMOW review and I'm so glad I did. Not only was his treatment plan for my extensive work over $1,000 cheaper than another local dental clinic, but his work has been absolutely painless (extractions, fillings and partial dentures), plus he has explained everything to me in detail, giving me the choice of options along the way. I know I have found a dentist I have complete confidence in, for life.

These guys know tires and were able to give me the best price in Melbourne on a set of commercial vehicle rubber for my work van. I had to get four other quotes for my boss and Donnellans were significantly better than the lowest of all the other big tyre retailers. The fitting and balancing was done quickly and I was back on the road inside an hour, I will be going back to them for my personal car soon.

I have bought three pieces of luggage from this store now - each time I received great service, good advice, a quality product that exactly suited my needs, plus a good discount. Highly recommended.

After visiting most of the 'big name' bedding outlets, we were confused and resigned to blowing the budget for two new beds. The last stop was the Regal Mattresses store and we are glad we left them 'till last. Sue is the Manager, and she could not have been more helpful or patient. We found the perfect mattresses (queen and double pocket spring) and bases for our needs, got a GREAT discount on their already low factory-direct prices (they make everything themselves in their factory at Noble Park), plus a seven day satisfaction guarantee, which allowed us to swap to a different mattress during the first week, if we weren't completely happy. The beds were delivered on time too, making this a great buying experience. Our beds have a 15 year guarantee as well. I would recommend Regal to anyone wanting a superb quality, locally made mattress without paying for a middle-man, big-budget shop rents, salesman's commissions or expensive TV advertising.

I purchased one of Antoine's own design men's business suits in January 2010, after having visited many different retail stores and specialty suit outlets. The quality, cut, fit and excellent value of the Antoine suit put all the others to shame. I saved between $600-$700 and am delighted with my purchase, buying an 80% wool suit and extra trousers for around $650. There was no extra charge for alterations and Antoine also threw in a beautiful pure silk tie of my choice, free. Since then, I have been back several times for repairs and alterations to other family members clothing and his service, value and workmanship are superb. I would recommend this small family business (his wife Lynette and son also work in the shop) to anyone.

Georgia Giannopoulou joined this practise in February 2010, with a background in hospital rehabilitation. She is smart, pretty and a damn good physio. Give her a try, she is a great addition to the team at BIM.
