We have been going to RJT for years. The hospitality and service you receive from Manjit, the…read moreowner, is incomparable. He's become an uncle to my cousins and me! As well as renting out films, the business sells electrical appliances and repairs virtually all electrical goods. We've taken conked out TV's, fan heaters and even my hair straightener, which he has mended within hours! The shop is cramped and bursting with odd TV's that I assume are in queue to be fixed. It almost feels like a jungle of gadgets as soon as you enter because every visible wall space is used to stock goods. Everything sold here is very reasonably priced and if you're as good a customer as me then you get a discount without even asking! The road is residential with a doctor's surgery so parking is usually restricted. Although you could nearly always find parking on the nearby Edward Road.

If you read the one star reviews of Domestica on here you'll see some recurring themes - terrible…read morecommunication, no callbacks, misleading and outright false information given. That's absolutely been my experience when over a 12-week period they failed to fix the malfunctioning fridge they sold me despite countless phone calls from me, countless promises from them and endless buck passing to the fridge manufacturer. I ended up having to do Domestica's job for them by phoning the fridge manufacturer myself - a process that took several days as they are in the Domestica mould of ignoring the customer and refusing to take responsibility for their own mistakes. When, after pressure from my letting agent Robert Aston, they finally replaced the fridge it was with an inferior model - a move that really sums up their contempt for the customers. Domestica's customer service is beyond horrific. They are lazy, arrogant and inept. Words cannot adequately express how badly you need to avoid this vile grubby company.

Domestica is a spares, repairs and appliances shop. It doesn't have the same attraction as the…read morenightlife does to those who are from outside Moseley, but it is appreciated by locals. On the day I needed some, ahem, vacuum cleaner bags. This is hardly retail therapy, so what do I want from the experience? Simply this: The right bags, at a reasonable price, with a friendly service, and the re-assurance that the sales person is knowledgeable enough so that I had the confidence in him that he bags I bought were the right ones. And I get it. You can't ask for much more than that! But don't trust them with repairs, or your time. I 'phoned in for someone to fix my washing machine two weeks ago. I've waited in on three separate days now when they've said they'd be coming. They've said they'd call to give specific times, but they haven't. Not a mention of sorry!!! Two weeks without a washing machine and having to do handwashing. Terrible customer service, so I can't recommend them. 18 months later... It seems I'm not alone in finding Domestica to be shoddy in their timings and arrangements for appointments. A friend has just let me know that she's having similar problems: Vague times, no-shows, and general flippancy. Apparently washing machine manufacturers are referring owners of machines that break within guarantee time to Domestica-Maybe they should start looking elsewhere...

This place is very similar to the Bargain Shop which can be found a little further up the Bristol…read moreRoad. At the Appliance Repair Centre they guarantee to repair leading makers of everything from microwaves to vacuum cleaners and it is all done with speed and at a price which is more than reasonable. Again this place has a variety of spare parts and as such is in direct competition with the Bargain Shop. I would say there is very little to choose between the two and my decision would be based primarily on the proximity I was to either of the two establishments. To find one of these shops is rare nowadays so two is a minor miracle and the people of Selly Oak can count themselves fortunate.

They did come back and help to fit a few days later after some badgering. Fairly happy now we have a working washer but still feel somewhat deceived.

These kinds of establishments don't crop up all that often anymore which is a shame as the people here offer a good service. They make domestic appliances such as washing machines available at affordable prices which can be an invaluable thing to some people. They even offer a repair service at the Bargain Shop as well as having all manner of spares for appliances from fridge freezers to vacuum cleaners. This is good old fashioned service and many more places should take a leaf out of their book.
