This review is for ORTH-A-PEDIC BEDDING, Thomastown VIC

verified email - 27 Jun 2017

I hadnt bought a bed in over 30 years & didnt want to pay over the top retail prices, so chose to go wholesale.
I was shown several beds but it was suggested I buy the pocket spring wool extra firm, because I have rheumatoid arthritis. I also needed a base as my previous needed an upgrade
It needed to be made to order with around a 6 week wait, which was ideal because I was having my floors sanded & polished.

What can I say about my bed, it took a little while to become used to it, but now when I jump in at night, its bliss & dont want to get out in the morning

Definitely recommend having a bed made by the manufacturer to your specifications & customer service is excellent

Just what I needed a blocked drain right before the weekend, rang Jamie, he has done extensive work before & although he couldnt fix the problem he did put down 6 metres of cable looking for the issue. Turns out its tree roots from the neighbours garden and have my water company coming out early Monday morning to rectify the problem. Looks like new pipes or seeing what the problem is.
Cant ever fault Jamies work, he's honest and upfront about costs

I was on the lookout for either a new car or a used car had a trade in with very little kms on the clock and was looking at the Sportage. Nobody bothered to ask what I wanted whether I wanted to test drive, but once I went inside the reception was as equally cool as out. I said I was looking at the Sportage had a trade in in very good condition and it was as if they couldnt give a toss
What I will say to Kia is this, NEVER judge a book by its cover, I might walk with a pronounced limp but you werent interested in my trade in and all you wanted to sell me was a diesel car that was out of my price range, however I went elsewhere and got a much better reception

This review is for South Morang Hyundai, Mill Park VIC

verified email - 15 Jan 2015

I was on the lookout for a new car, i had spoken to two separate people that gave a glowing report about South Morang Hyundai & as I already owned an Hyundai iload but as I was no longer working needed something smaller. I rang South Morang Hyundai and spoke to Ray Grech, he was very helpful so I arranged a test drive on the 10th January 2015. I drove 3 cars I was only interested in one and was delighted with the cars I drove. I decided to buy an I x35 (fabulous car)
It was arranged I pick up the car on the 14th and in the interim, Phoebe from the office rang on the Monday to ask if I'd like Sat Nav & tinted windows which I agreed to, might as well spend the money as I knew this would be my last car.
I wasnt a bit impressed that I had been left with very little fuel and on my way home the gauge started flashing at me
I asked for the tyres to be rotated, as you get a better life out of the tyres and assumed they had been done but when I took the vehicle for a once over with my own very trusted mechanic, I found out otherwise. Mind you my mechanic also told me I had a really good car and checked it hadnt been in an accident, luckily it hadnt
It was a good experience and a really good new dealership, but if the customer wants something done and it isnt then they cant have full marks. Thanks to Ray, Phoebe & Tas your help was invaluable

Looking for hubcaps forever for my Hyundai iload, wound up getting some after 3 years l from a wrecking yard in Coburg. Rang to see if they had what I wanted in stock and picked the hub caps up today. Couldnt have been more helpful maybe I looked like a damsel in distress, so many asking if they could help.... now where is my mechanic to fit them??

This review is for Bundy Smash Repairs, Bundoora VIC

What I didnt need was a bingle right before Christmas, but my faulty entirely. I rang around for quotes cause I wanted something local, and the most thorough in the quotation process was Bundy Smash Repairs.
Took the car in last Monday 1st Dec and it was ready just after 2pm on Fri 5th Dec. Fabulous service, car was cleaner coming out than it was going in, would recommend highly in the blink of an eye.
Also you can tell a premise and how well everything is cared for when you know you can eat off the floor. Awesome Shannon & thanks

This review is for TopGear Wheels & Tyres, Heidelberg West VIC

verified email - 19 Mar 2014

I needed new tyres and after searching the internet and finding most of the well known names didnt stock my tyre. The cheapest I found was $161 per tyre not fitted. My mechanic put me onto TopGear Wheels & Tyres, not only was I in and out within 30 minutes but the price was $120 down on what I had searched for and fitted. Excellent service for others in need of tyres to see

Approximate cost: $520

This review is for Red Bean Cafe, Preston VIC

verified email - 06 Sep 2013

I came to the Cafe before it was open, knowing Lou from farmers markets in the Melbourne area. It looked fabulous and being able to see your coffee being roasted is a bonus. They only purchase beans that grow sustainable plantations and their coffee is superb. If you wanting to buy any of their coffee I suggest going on their website, to the cafe or purchasing from the farmers markets they attend

This review is for Bohemian Restaurant & Bar, Briar Hill VIC

A couple of us went for dinner, having not driven in the city for some years and never in that area the instructions were pretty clear so I prayed we didnt get lost.
Greeted & led to our table by the window and given our menu, we settled on a range of tapas, potato, yummy prawns with paprika sizzling, mixed olives with the tiniest absolutely delish black olives, we also shared our main of stuffed zucchini flowers with ricotta & mint served on a bed of caponata and our dessert of roasted hazelnut caramel semi freddo was to die for. A couple sangrias and a coffee for me (responsible driver) and it was the best value dinner and worth the drive into the city. Thoroughly recommend.

One small criticism the overhead screen playing a cartoon had no relevance on such a great restaurant and would have been better if they had had a spanish musician

This review is for Box a' Lamb, Carisbrook VIC

verified email - 12 Mar 2013

I had the pleasure of meeting Shane & Celia Jardine, probably 12 months ago when they first came to Talbot Farmers Market in Vic.

Since that time I have told people about their delicious lamb roasts, mini roasts, sausages etc check their website for more and keep telling everybody it is the nicest lamb since I left NZ in the late 70's. It is juicy, hormone & antibiotic free and look forward to stocking up my freezer from them every month

I have bought back lamb packs and cuts for friends and they all absolutely love it.
