Natali came to my rescue at short notice, for a spring clean that was badly neeeed!What she achieved in 4 hours was astonishing. She told me honestly what she could and couldn't do and together we figured out the priority areas . I can now just finish off the few areas not able to be done. I will be definitely be using their services for regular cleans in the future. I agonised over finding a decent cleaner. There are so many places with bad reputations. I'm so glad I found this company. Top quality results. I'm seriously impressed!

Thanks Natali. You're an angel!!

James is the best at what he does!
I had several other companies quote me for a new screen door and installation of a timber sliding door from my bedroom into my backyard. I honestly feel like I have a whole new room in my house!
James was always on time, polite and listened to me. He even made suggestions that actually cost me less money in the end.

James managed to transform my small house into an inside/outside house, which will only increase it' value when it's time to sell!
A highly recommended professional.

Wish I could give more than 5 stars!

Thanks, James.I'll be recommending you to all my friends!

This review is for Burwood Panelworks, Burwood VIC

I recently had a new bumper bar fitted to my 2000 Toyota Celica. Based on all the recommendations, I ended up chatting to Adrian. He did an absolutely superb job, dropped me off to get a rental car (all theirs were out at the time) and was a total professional. The quality of their work is outstanding and reasonably priced. Adrian even buffed out some bad oxidization I had on one headlight. I would not hesitate to 110% recommend Burwood Panels. You guys rock! Thanks so much :)

This review is for Paras Indian Cuisine, Ashwood VIC

verified email - 24 May 2013

This place just opened up a few weeks ago. I decided to give it a try as I like to support local businesses. I only ordered a few items, so I can only comment on those. First, their Onion Bhaji was nice. Very large size and cooked to perfection, and not oily at all... however lacked a bit of flavour and they forgot the tamarind sauce, which was promised. I also ordered some roti. It was thick, dry and not fresh at all. The stand out dish was an entree of something I'd never tried, chicken Hariyali Tikka, marinated and rubbed with a paste made from crushed coriander and mint. It was succulent, juicy and cooked to perfection!! They also do a an Achari Chicken which sounded good too. Only other gripe was that their raita came in a very small tub. I'd suggest ordering two of them in future. Overall, OK, but will give them another go, as it I ordered on the first night they opened. I'd like to try a few other dishes and rate them again.

This review is for Zaika Tandoori Indian, Ashwood VIC

I live right around the corner from Zaika and am a regular there. Consistently great food and always tasty, packaged well, piping hot. There's only been a few dishes that left me a little disappointed. Their vindaloo is OK, but lacks that vinegar tang it should have and their Mushroom jalfrazy was light on sauce and tasted pretty bland. Breads are awesome, curries delicious, onion bhaji divine!! I highly recommend this place. It's been going strong for several years now and they always throw in some free pappadums for me because I'm a regular. Excellent food at a good price!!

This review is for Cirque, Camberwell VIC

I came based on all the recommendations and I walked out totally thrilled with my new hairstyle!!! I have had a really bad '90's style with two severe cowlicks and wanted to look more "corporate". I was not disappointed. My stylist (sorry, can't remember her name!) was absolutely wonderful, explaining all the options, and discussing what she was restricted by. I left looking amazing!! This salon is SO reasonably priced, it's almost ridiculous for the value for money you get. Definitely a return customer!!

This review is for The Cat Shack, Glen Iris VIC

Joe provided me with outstanding customer service from the first initial email I sent to him, regarding building a customised cat enclosure for my back yard. He came the very next day to provide me with a written quote and even came up with some ideas and suggestions I hadn't considered. I emailed a few other companies for quotes and some were cheaper, but others wanted to be paid for coming out and providing a quote! Joe also brought with him a sample of the netting he uses, which is pre-stretched at a tonne to reduce sagging, have a high UV rating and posts, if you need them, are made with stainless steel. All this with a 10 year written guarantee on all materials.

On the morning of the day of the installation, it was absolutely pouring rain. Joe said that he couldn't work in such rain, due to the risk of using power tools outside etc. I completely understood his concerns. However, when the weather cleared, he contacted me straight away and said that he would be able to do the job! Joe went above the call of duty and stayed until past 6:30pm to complete the enclosure, almost in complete darkness!

The quality of the enclosure is fantastic! Joe has done such a professional job, with attention to every detail. I am thrilled with the enclosure and my cats adore it! I can now rest easy, knowing my cats are perfectly safe and happy in their enclosure, safe from predators, cars, cat fights and prowling dogs. They now have the best of both worlds – the stimulation of being “outdoors” but safe in their enclosure. Thank you Joe!! I'm a very satisfied customer!!

I love their grilled flathead and their chips are divine!! Sometimes you have to wait, and it's not the cheapest fish around, but you get what you pay for - the freshest fish and fantastic chips.

Highly recommended!

This review is for Ashburton Greencross Vets, Ashburton VIC

verified email - 07 Feb 2011

Been taking my cats here for over 10 years. Matt, Rob and all the other vets are fantastic, as as the vet nurses. They really go the extra mile and are always helpful and compassionate. I feel like they are my extended family and were so understanding when I had to have my cat put to sleep last year.

Highly recommended!!

Overall, good haircuts and colour. I've been going here for about 5 years, but only because I know I can always get an appointment - and the fact that I only get my hair cut every 6 months!!
