This review is for Mackay Garden Sheds, Mackay QLD

verified email - 01 Aug 2012

This was a one stop shop for us to get our Garden Shed. We were able to choose our shed on the website, order and pay over the phone and arrange delivery/installation through one of their preferred installers. Very friendly and knowledgeable service - and the shed was installed perfectly. Make sure you go for the additional cyclone kit for extra support, you may regret not getting it!

Approximate cost: $1000

This review is for Mackay Vac Centre, Mackay QLD

verified email - 19 Jul 2012

We were just about to throw out our ailing vacuum cleaner until we heard about Mackay Vac Centre. They are an original family business which has been going for many many years. We took in our old vacuum cleaner and was able to get a replacement part straight away. Another part we required was put on order and we were told it would be in within two weeks. They called us back within the 2 week period letting us know the new part was available. It was easy to fit and our vacuum cleaner was now as good as new! All for under $40 - well worth the money and time. The service was good and so was the result. Recommended to try before you think of giving the old vacuum the flick.. you may be pleasantly surprised.

This review is for G'Days Property Services, Mackay QLD

We contacted Graeme from G'days Property Services to give us a quote on cutting back a couple of large gum trees at the front our property last year. Graeme arrived on schedule and was able to provide a quote there and then. He was able to give us a very good price and complete the job within a week. We were very happy with the service. We were able to pay afterwards via direct deposit into his bank account to make it easy.

This review is for Bunnings Warehouse, North Mackay QLD

verified email - 18 Jul 2012

I have frequented this store to complete our house renovations. The service is usually great once you can get someone. Watch out for Saturday/Sunday between 9am-4pm, the traffic is terrible! A lot of the staff are more senior and will give you great advice where required. They are also very reasonable when returning gear you don't need - no questions asked. I would recommend Bunnings as they constantly have the lowest prices, and if they don't - they'll beat another price by 10%. My tip, get in early if you are going on the weekend

This review is for Boost Motorsports, Mackay QLD

verified email - 17 Jul 2012

We were looking for a reliable mechanic for our car and were referred to Boost Motorsports by a friend. After being ripped off by other mechanics in the past, we were hopeful that these guys would be genuine.
We are now paying a lot less than other quoted prices for our regular service on our car. Best of all, we have always had good service and any issues have been clearly described. Repairs have been reasonably cheap and always completed . Boost are only a small garage - but you get the personalised service which can be lacking at other big name mechanics. I would recommend looking for some good old fashioned service that they can trust.
Our car has never been running better than it does now so we can only attribute that to the quality service provided by Boost Motorsports.

This review is for Super A-Mart, Mackay QLD

A great place to get your house easily and cheaply furnished. We have bought multiple things from this store (Dining Table, Buffet, Blinds, Beds, Outdoor Furniture) and each time it has been an easy process. Some things need to be ordered in but they have always arrived on time. You only need to put down a small deposit (say $50) to get your order in the system. Delivery is reasonable and the deliveries were always on time as specified. I would recommend this to anyone looking for good value furniture in Mackay.

This review is for The Good Guys, Mackay QLD

We have bought all our electrical goods from here and never been let down. Even after checking prices at other stores, they would always be the cheapest or beat any other prices. The staff are very friendly and helpful and it is an easy checkout process. You don't have to pay cash to get the best price (credit card is fine). I would recommend this to anyone looking for great service at the best price.

This review is for Sizewise, Paget QLD

verified email - 17 Jul 2012

We were interested in replacing our kitchen benchtop and were recommended to enquire with Sizewise Readycut as they would be much cheaper than using a cabinet maker. We took our benchtop measurements in and within 15 minutes they had drawn up a fully measured quote for us. All the finishes are there to view and they provided good input for our choices. Our new benchtop arrived at our home within 2 weeks. Everything was cut exactly as expected and the new benchtop was easy to install. The service was spot on - I would strongly recommend you check out Sizewise if you are in the market for a new kitchen benchtop. You will save a lot of money.

This review is for Mackay's Golden Sun Chinese Restaurant, Blacks Beach QLD

verified email - 17 Jul 2012

Mackay's Golden Sun Chinese in the Blacks Beach Shopping Centre (Northern Beaches of Mackay) never fails for great food. The prices are reasonable but the service and taste are top notch. I always get a warm greeting when I go in to pick up my takeaway, which is rare in Mackay! We regularly get Chinese from them as we know we are always getting great food and service. I would recommend to all in Mackay, QLD (even worth the drive from the city centre).

Approximate cost: $18
