This review is for BreastScreen Queensland, North Lakes QLD

verified email - 03 Jul 2012

I recently had to have my first Breast screen, which was really daunting. I had heard some really negative things about the procedure, and wasn't looking forward to it at all. The 2 mature age women who greeted me when I arrived could,t have been nicer, and really put me at ease. They explained exactly what theprocedure involved, and how I would receive results etc. Even though I was half naked, I didn't feel awkward at all. The procedure was painless, and I was in and out of there in 15 minutes. A really good experience. I got my results within a week as promised as well.

Approximate cost: $Nothing

This review is for Sullivan Nicolaides Pathology, North Lakes QLD

I recently had to have a blood test, which I was dreading, and decided to try this little pathology as it was close to where I work. They open before 8 o'clock which is very convenient when you work full time. The staff member that looked after me was warm and friendly and made me feel at ease, even though I hate needles. I was in and out within 5 minutes with no dramas at all. Will be going back for sure

This place is awesome. We thought meet with friends and try this new place for a coffee. We were greeted by a lovely gentleman who offered us a free slice of his famous burnt orange cake - hence the business name. It was lovely, as was the coffee. Will be going back. Really lovely atmosphere too.

This review is for Harvey Norman, Rothwell QLD

My husband and myself bought a surround sound system from here last weekend. After quite Abit of research, we decided on a system that was on sale in this store. The young salesman tried to sell us a more expensive unit, even though we told him we were happy with the one chosen. When my husband was putting it together, we found the pack didn't include a cable necessary to hook everything up. We were quite annoyed the sales person had neglected to point this out, and it took another trip to the store and $100 to complete installation

This review is for Eureka Street Furniture, Virginia QLD

verified email - 29 Jun 2012

We have bought several items of furniture over the years and have always loved each piece and found then to be of excellent quality. We recently were looking for a new dining centre, and decided to see if we could find something at eureka. We fell in love with a suite straight away, and decided to buy even though we thought it a little overpriced. We tried to get them to come down in price, but they would't budge at all. I fact the sales assistant was quite offended that we even asked for a discount. They also weren't very flexible when it came to delivery. However, the quality of the dining suite makes up for lack of service.

This review is for GS Panels, Clontarf QLD

verified email - 29 Jun 2012

We have gone to this panelbeater on several occassions when we have needed work done. and have always found them good. My daughter recently went to them to get some dints removed after a minor car accident. They offered her a borrow car whilst work was being done, and did the work cheaper than normal because we have been past clients. You can't tell she has had an accident, which she was grateful for as the car is her pride and joy.

This review is for Q-Tax, Kippa Ring QLD

verified email - 28 Jun 2012

We go to this place every year to get our tax done by Garth. He always explains things in terms that is easy to understand and we know we can ring at any time throughout the year with any concerns we may have. We have just received a discount voucher in the mail for $10 back on fee for having our tax return done this year for referring a family member to him.

This review is for Neptunes Pool Care, Redcliffe QLD

verified email - 27 Jun 2012

We have been going to this pool shop for years and have always got the best advise when we've had problems with pool maintenance. They recently gave us great advise to help fix chlorinator, even though we usually rely on help from Internet sights. They will also test your pool water for free. The cost of their pool salt is very expensive, so we buy that elsewhere

Approximate cost: $100

This review is for Sushi Central, Redcliffe QLD

verified email - 27 Jun 2012

I had never been to a sushi restaurant before, but just loved this one. The food was delicious and inexpensive. I wasn't very adventurous, but others were asking for something to be specially cooked for them, and the staff were very accommodating. I want to go back because I want to try other dishes on the sushi train. Great place to meet up with friends

This review is for Iceworld, Boondall QLD

verified email - 27 Jun 2012

If you're looking for somewhere inexpensive to entertain the kids, this is the place. We go regularly on a Saturday afternoon and it only costs $14 for kids for 2 hours of ice skating for the kids, which also includes games where they can win prizes. I've seen quite a few birthday parties celebrated here. There's a coffee shop, which is nothing to rave about, but it's great if you want to have a read and a coffee in warm air conditioning. The staff are not very pleasant, but that has never managed to spoil our fun.

Approximate cost: $28
