This review is for PJD Electrical, Ringwood North VIC

03 Oct 2011

Originally used Peter to reconnect power to a unit. This eventually meant re-earth and checking all wiring and outlets, fitting exhaust fans, disconnecting stove.
This time I had Peter install a new porch light. He arrived on time, and despite me having to them fly off to replace the fitting (unaware it was broken) work was done in a timely manner leaving no mess.
Call-out fee and charge was entirely acceptable, and I'm glad I used him again and will continue to do so.
Personally recommended. He also made me laugh !

Approximate cost: $100.00

First used this company March '09 to service & report on a gas hot water system, an older gas stove/oven and a gas log heater, being impressed with the thoroughness of the work done.
Now I have used them again to check, clean and service a gas wall heater. Technician arrived when arranged, was polite and thorough. Checked and rechecked CO2 levels until he was satisfied this older heater was running at optimum levels. Totally cleaned flue and fan, ensuring another few years use from this 1973 unit.
Personally recommended.

Have recently joined as a member after a recent visit. Was impressed with the ambiance, and the service from pleasant, friendly staff. The meal range seemed wide enough to cater for all tastes with Member discount prices. Food presentation excellent and will be making it a regular lunchtime stop. Haven't visited the Member's Lounge yet, nor did I notice pokies in the background.

This review is for Croydon Pet Hospital, Croydon VIC

16 Feb 2010

My angora rabbit needed trimming, so reading the feedback here I decided to take her to the Croydon Pet Hospital, and rang first as a v. nervous owner. Need not have worried ! Rebecca was sympathetic, owner was more nervous than pet. Everything was explained, assistant held her firmly, and thirty minutes later a much neater, unstressed rabbit, less stressed owner. Also appreciated extensive 'care & nutrition' notes. Thank you !

This review is for The Scented Garden Cafe, Croydon Hills VIC

15 Feb 2010

Called in today for lunch, and chose the garden salad with Tasmanian salmon. Lovely ! Salad was crisp and fresh containing tomato, leaves of endive, baby spinach, beetroot, rocket and cos lettuce. Extra tasty garnishing of black olives and Binnorie fetta added to the mix and there was a choice of dressings. Menu board mentioned what was organically grown yet I didn't pay attention. Service was friendly, and it was rather busy even at 2pm. They are also fully licensed, and their business card states "Serving Quality Organic Food and Drinks in a courtyard setting".

Approximate cost: $18.00

This review is for Coffee For Me Cafe & Catering, Mooroolbark VIC

06 Feb 2010

Hadn't stopped at this cafe before, even though I've often walked past.
Had a tomato and onion frittata for lunch, served with chutney. The chutney was one of their award-winning ones - in this case organic zucchini, apple & tomato - which certainly added to the flavour.
Pleasant atmosphere, outside tables available, friendly service.

Have used this bakery for many years, and recently called in for steak and curry pies. Had forgotten how nice they are ! Delicious, light flaky pastry, plenty of meat, plenty of flavour, and no drips.

This review is for Hans' Music Spot, Croydon VIC

Recently put the 'Beatles Box' on layby, and this is where I also purchased my first Beatles record, back in '63.
Hans and Monika have always been THE music shop in Croydon, through 33's. 45's, singles, CD's, sheet music etc. to the latest, with instruments and a wide range of parts and accessories.

This review is for AJR Automotive, Croydon VIC

26 Jan 2010

Have used AJR Automotive for my first, and current car, and always been impressed with the service. Tony keeps a neat, tidy workshop, sticks to timeframes and not only advises you of problems as they arise, fully explains everything. Helpful and informative, personally recommended.
