I had a brakelight that was turning off when the taillights were on. I drove into Accolade without an appointment and was fit in straight away. There is a small waiting area but I live close by so I walked home while I waited for the work to be completed. As it turned out, it was nothing more than a replacement bulb needed but the staff checked and cleaned my light electrics as necessary. I would go back to this business again.

We stayed here recently for an overnight stay. We got a clean, comfortable room (family of 4). The owners were very friendly and easy-going. We were also supplied with free wifi (up to 500mb). Despite being on a major road, we found the rooms to be quiet. We would definitely recommend this motel and would stay there again.

I started using Monique because both my son and daughter were having problems with their speech, in particular my daughter who has a lisp. She is a strict but fun teacher and won't let them do a half-hearted job with their sounds. She obviously enjoys working with children and the kids love working with her. They even enjoy doing the practice work at home between sessions. At this point, she is a mobile service and able to travel to clients. I think this helps relax the kids as they are in a familiar setting at home. Highly recommended.

I thought I'd try this place as they have just opened up. I wanted some waxing done and it seemed inexpensive. The service was good as I was able to walk in without an appointment. However, I left feeling disappointed with the quality of the work. I don't know if the lady who did the work just needs more training or what but it definitely didn't live up to my thinking (and I'm by no means a difficult client). I probably won't return.

My husband purchased a Scoopon voucher for me for Christmas and it offered a 90 minute session of Thai massage, a foot treatment and a facial or full body scrub. I took the facial option when asked by staff. The ladies I spoke to were very soft-spoken and polite. I had never had a Thai massage before and I found I really enjoyed it. At the end of the session, I walked into the waiting area to find a tray waiting with a glass of water, a cup of ginger tea and a spring roll with a small saucer of chilli sauce. It was nice to feel very pampered. The only bad thing was trying to find a park as it is a really busy road.

I was in the market for an inexpensive haircut for my 5yo son. I went along without an appointment and managed to get in, with only a 5-10 minute wait. My son sat there the whole time with a smile on his face. The stylist did a good job on his hair. I'm not sure if I'll go there all the time; the street noise and lack of parking put me off a bit.

We recently needed to have our whippersnipper repaired and our mower serviced. When I arrived at the store and explained what I wanted, they quite happily came out to my car to help bring the equipment in. They gave me a worst-case scenario quote of 2 weeks and, quite happily, we got a phone call a week later saying that the items were ready to pick up. Again they helped me by bringing the equipment out to the car to load in. Reasonable prices and friendly service - I will be returning in the future.

Approximate cost: $200 combined

I needed this service recently as there was nothing else open or had available appointments. A small annual membership fee (for the family) later and my appointment was booked by a very helpful telephone operator. (Money-wise, it is more economical to pay for an annual membership than a once-off visit as the price then becomes quite high.) I was warned that the doctors might take a while to get there but that they would give me a call when they were on their way. I had the doctor there within an hour and he was easy to work with. Highly recommended.

This place has been a real help at times when I can't get into my own doctor. You can book online or ring up and you don't have to wait longer than about 15 minutes. The doctors I have seen there have been very easy to deal with and the receptionists are friendly & helpful. Prices are what you would pay at your own doctor. Highly recommended.

My husband & I made the choice to get a vasectomy this year and, after asking around, decided to use the MetroCentre. The website explains pretty much everything you need to know but the staff are able to answer any other questions you have. The procedure they offer is reversible and turned out to be quite pain-free. My husband had no pain and minimal discomfort. Although the price is quite high, you are able to claim some back from Medicare. We would recommend this business to anyone.
