He is extremely responsive and communicative, keeps you updated, and is genuinely helpful and easy to deal with.

I wouldn't hesitate to use him again or recommend him to anyone needing a locksmith.

We flew into Sydney yesterday after a total of 20 hours in an aircraft. While it was a fun ride, we…read morewere exhausted upon our arrival. When we arrived in the city we were told that we would not be able to check in for our accommodations for several hours. They did however suggest that we look into a luggage storage company. After doing a bit of research we found CBD conveniently located by our train stop. While it took a bit to find the location (see my tip on this below) ultimately the location is perfect. When we got to the check in area we weren't really sure what to do. There's a note that says to buzz for help so we did. Almost immediately Rupert came around the corner. He asked what we needed, explained the process and had us checked in in no time. Before leaving the office Rupert took time to show us all the "can't miss" parts of Sydney. This was not q requirement and was a HUGE customer service win for us. He spent 10 Minutes helping us identify fun areas. We were just blown away. Then Rupert escorted us to our locker. He helped us ensure our items were secured and made sure we were comfortable leaving the area. All of this to say we were blown away with this level of customer service. It was evident to us that Rupert is a consummate professional who went out of his way to make us feel welcome in a new town! Tip: The facility is located on Level 6 parking. Each floor of this shopping center square has an elevator that will take you down to L6. Use the buzzer to the left after exiting the elevator for assistance.

Company from depths of hell…read more Called after plans fell through. In a panic. Spoke with staff member as I was frantically rearranging goods in quite obviously anxious state. Having never stored products in past, I asked for requirements. Crystal clear on photo ID but when it came to signing up, she gave a clear *recommendation* that I sign up ahead of time. Given last minute, went against recommendation. After a lengthy journey to reach centre and in alignment with previously discussed times, called about unloading as I was on leg 2 and same lady berated me for not following her directions which were now requirements. In addition, she criticised my manner of communicating (esp subpar when under stress) , and told me to take my business elsewhere as she didn't wish to deal with me further. I'll note that at no point was I rude to her. I accept that misunderstandings happen and even take accountability entirely for not phrasing questions appropriately. I can suck up either a later trip or 2-3 hours of waiting. I do not accept that someone who states that she often works w people in horrible situations can turn a sort of crappy day into a violent storm of dysentery which required a helpful travel agent, a taxi, an uber and several HUNDRED dollars to resolve. Only after calling to get name to file complaint did she call 3x, first dwelling on the initial miscommunication after I clearly stated this wasn't cause for complaint. I essentially got "sorry that you feel that way" and major back-pedalling and revising (lying) her customer service person from hell that both taxi driver and I heard. The fact that this person interacts with non-native English speakers, travellers, tourists and people in crisis is horrendous. Zero warmth, patience, empathy, standard procedures for handling mix ups etc. Even with language ability and familiarity w Sydney in my favour, it is really the bail that broke the camel's back. Ineffective communication skills as she would simply need to say, "to register, we require you to come ahead of time with passport" rather than long-winded monologue on processes. Or "you need to pre book in person. 'I'd say.../should' are not good for describing requirements.

He phoned me next morning to say all is in stock and can be done today! Wow, what great service. Garry arrived and was fantastic. All done, plus we added two more locks in an adjacent building on our acreage property. The service was amazing as was the price, and Garry had it all done quickly. As we had just had painters in we were concerned about possible paint damage. Garry was very careful and didn't even leave a tiny scratch. We could not recommend Hornsby & District Locksmiths more highly, and the brilliant service by Garry.

This dry cleaners on Blues Point Road has a neat self-service option…read more It works as follows: 1) Take your credit card and swipe it in the machine. The machine will ask if you're dropping off or picking up. Select dropping off. 2) The machine will deliver you a receipt and open up a drop box with bags. Take a bag, insert your clothes and your receipt in the bag (with your mobile number on the receipt) and drop your bag in the drop box. Drop off complete. 3) You will receive a text message notifying you when your clothes are ready (within one or two days). 4) Return to the machine and insert your same credit card. Again, the machine will ask if you're dropping off or picking up. Select picking up. 5) Select which item you've come to pick up and the automatic hanger will retrieve your item. A little door opens and voila! Your clothes are delivered. VIP Dry Cleaners is more expensive than your average dry cleaner ($11 or $12 for one pair of pants), but you're paying extra for the nifty service and the clothes are always perfectly preened and cleaned. If you go when the shop is open and pay cash, you'll receive a discount (I think about 10%).

He kept saying with over 20 years of experience he can do anything, and at first I thought was some tradies talk (woops sorry~), but then really he works miracles! Not only did he not upsell us to replace the doors, he made effort and made sure to find out what we actually wanted to achieve. He even got more life out of our existing 20+ year old doors (When it's clear I, in my amateur mind thought they were surely terminal pending pronounced dead - an easiest upsell)! Saved us at least 6k! And there's more! When he found out our doors were stuck opened, he even prioritised us and got everything sorted for us within 3 days! What a legend! I have no problem recommending Garage Door Sales & Repairs and/or Jason, and truly, the 5 stars here are not enough to express how great the experience was. If you're looking for someone who combines skill, reliability, and a touch of magic, Jason is your guy, and Garage Door Sales & Repair is your place! Look no further, hand on heart I (and my fam) will come back again for any future works! We also visited the show room before, and Melissa was great in explaining to us the options we got - all in all, perfect experience! This is exactly how great business are built!
