Geeks 2 U are Australia wide and a mobile service, so come to you.
After a computer crash which seemed to wipe my entire computer a call to Geeks2U saved the day. They give you a 1 hour time window of when they will be there, and he was there within that hour.
Bobby found the issue straight away and had got all my data backed up onto a hard drive within half an hour. He then needed to take my laptop away to reinstall windows. He offered to take the other one also when I mentioned it was slow, and see if he could speed it up. He charged a flat rate so I knew exactly how much it would cost (he estimated the number of hours it would take - it was reasonable).
He then needed to return the laptops the next day. I only had a half an hour window that I was home that day and he made sure he was there within that time. I highly recommend Bobby from the Adelaide branch.
The cost was $69 per half hour, with a minimum of 1 hour plus a $49 fee for same day service.
Great service and great products. I have the iron on clothing lables, shoe labels and sticky labels. They are of great quality. Customer service is excellent. They send out samples so you can see before you buy if you wish. I've always had very quick postage (which is free!) Definitely recommend.
I love My Teddy. They make great birth gifts. Everytime I've ordered I've had fast delivery- and the products are great. My 6 year old son still sleeps with his teddy each night! A little on the pricey side - but worth it for the personalisation, quality and service.
Approximate cost: $100
Amy charges $50 for a cut and colour - which is a great deal. I got a wonderful cut, colour and blow dry through a daily deals website. The cut and colour was great and she gave me some nice curls which looked great. I was really happy with the outcome.
I found actually getting an appoitment difficult, which is why I have rated service lower - once I was there her service was fantastic. I had to ring multiple times and left a few voicemail messages which weren't returned. In the end I walked down to make my appoitment. When I was there I could understand why she didn't answer the phone all the time - she is doing it all on her own - but I felt she should have voicemail set up and returned calls later in the day, or in between clients.
Approximate cost: $50
We ate here for lunch with my 3 year old daughter. We shared 2 lunch meals between us (2 adults and 1 child) and we had left over food. Meal sizes are quite large. Staff were all very friendly to us. My daughter loved the play area and spent quite a time playing there. I would definitely go back again for a cheap meal with the kids.
Approximate cost: $10
Cassandra's massages are amazing. She really targets your problem areas. The room is a nice and relaxing setting so you just go in for an hour and relax. The price is on par with others, but you definitely get more personalised service. She also offers a monthly special - that changes each month.
Approximate cost: $70
Fantastic neck & shoulder massages. you don't need to make a booking (although you can if you want). They have health fund rebates if you get the 30 minute massage. Really relaxing.
Approximate cost: $35
Rod Webb is an RAA approved mechanic and was recommended to me by my RAA call-out. My car had issues with it's battery and the alternator. We called the mechanics first thing Monday morning and they were able to squeeze us in. They were quite knowledgeable and knew what the issue was when we told them on the phone. They kept us informed all the way through with a few phone calls to confirm we wanted to go ahead with things. After it was fixed I was still having an issue (different one this time) but a quick phone call and we drove back past and they fixed it within 10 minutes with no extra cost.
Approximate cost: $550
This is a great family outing. It only costs $2 per person to climb the rocking horse - and you get a certificate to say you have done it. It's free to walk through and see the animals - which are all out roaming free so you can pat them and feed them (you need to buy food from the toy shop). They have a cafe, or you can pack your own lunch and have a picnic. There is a big grassy area for picnics and a couple of tables.
The toy factory is amazing - so many wonderful wooden toys - but beware as these cost a bit and if your kids are anything like mine they will want everything.
We have zoo membership, which makes the zoo a great family outing. Kids under 4 are free. Individual tickets are a little expensive but with membership you can go as often as you like in a year - yuo only need to go 3 times and you have your entry fees covered. There are many different animals to see - the kids love the lions, pandas and snakes. It's great to go to the kids zoo where you can walk through and feed animals. And if you go at the right time you can pat special ones they have out for you.
