Recommended to go here almost 20 years ago. One of the true, remaining honest as the day is long mechanics. I had to have a motor reconditioned years ago. This guy quoted below ither prices i had. Then 2nd day into the job he calls me up to tell me some bearings dont need replacing, so the job will be cheaper still. Called me again that day to say something else didnt need doing as well....so the price came down again. Im sure that most mechanics, once they u give u their quote, will not back the price down. And how would the average person know if the bearings were changed or not? Or if they even needed to be?
I had my car serviced here for years, up until i bought a new car from Max Kirwan Mazda, and foolishly fell for the notion that u should get ur new car serviced by the dealer u purchased it from. It cost a fortune in servicing, due to so many reported "unlucky" breakages or failures once the warranty period expired on the brand new car they sold me.
Ive returned to the good old fashioned mechanics at Albert Street Automotive, where i know I'll get a fair go and a fairer price.

Eaten here twice now before seeing a movie at the sun cinema. Both times the food was exceptionally good. Its mostly communal eating with long shared tables unless u grab a seat at the bench near the window or if ur lucky enough to score a table for 2. Dont be put off by the seating arrangements. The food is special and well worth sacrificing ur preferred seating arrangements. The place has a great vibe and I see myself becoming a regular there.

Approximate cost: $17.00

After moving from Kew East to Taylors Hill, I still travel once a fortnight at least to this cinema. This cinema is comfortable, warm and inviting. Lots of leg room and huge screens. The decor is interesting and the place is clean. People are well behaved regardless of their age. I recently went to a cinema up here in Watergardens and that experience was enough to tell me that the Rivoli is a 5 star experience! Distance is no problem......the Rivoli is worth it.

Looking everywhere for an LG 10kg front loader model WD14060D6. No one had them in stock. Searched Australia online (l purchase comfortably online). Couldnt find one anywhere. Walked into HN at Sunshine and spoke to a young Asian sales consultant there who was happy to match the online price l got from an online retailer. When he went to check stock he found there was none. I already knew that though. But he offered me the floor model so l checked it over. Was near enough perfect if it wasnt perfect. He arranged the delivery for next day and 2 guys came out and installed it without any fuss, bumps bruises scratches or dents. Love the machine and really appreciate the help of that guy at HN who sold me his floor model which l know means he cant sell that model until he gets another one (people wont buy if they cant see). Great service.

Approximate cost: $1499
