Shane was absolutely wonderful. I had locked myself out on a very, very early Saturday morning and…read morehe had promised to be there within 40 minutes. Although I managed to find some spare keys and had cancelled his service just as he was 5 minutes away he did not charge me. Now that's customer service! I recommend this company whole-heartedly. Great service, great rates and great people. Thank you Shane!

I'm not sure about the price because I didn't call around, but I felt that he was trustworthy, professional, friendly, and efficient. It's one of those situations where you hope it doesn't happen again, but if it did, I'd definitely know who to call. I recommend this company.

This place is all about the old school cobbling. All that's missing is the elves…read more The first time I went here the lovely old gentleman behind the counter immediately and enthusiastically greeted me and started asking me questions in Italian. After I assured him I wasn't actually Italian (if he was disappointed he didn't show it), he was equally as enthusiastic and chatty in English. He's a charmer. A small (the shop is super tiny), family run business, I have the feeling it's been here forever, and they know their stuff. I've taken several pairs of shoes in for resoling or mending, and have always been happy with the results. They always get a polish included too, so they come back to you as good as new. They also sell leather goods and do all the usual key cutting and engraving as well, though my expertise is limited to shoe repairs. Just a tip: they don't take cards of any kind (Eftpos included) so you'll need to pay cash. Keepin' it real.

Dry cleaning. It's the kind of thing I do, in a total rush and panic, when I realise I want to wear…read morea particular piece within the next few days. Lucky for me, I've got Ford Dry Cleaners a hop skip and jump down the road - and they can usually turn it around in a day or two. Service is really good (though I never go in for anything but your basic dry cleaning) and the prices are on par. They always treat my babies gently and have always removed any specific stains I've brought to their attention - including one huge coffee stain on my cream Lover dress, which I was totally freaked out about. They also offer your usual bits and bobbins - zips, dyes, buttons and the like - as well as minor alterations, but I wouldn't really recommend them for anything but the super basic, super specific alteration, as they're not really set up for it and don't have a change room. But hey - they do one thing and they do it well.

The other week I made the great decision of wearing my new $350 dress into town. This ended in…read moretown- 1, dress- 0. I tearily took it into Ford hoping they would somehow magically make the alcohol and mud stains disappear from the silk. The lady took one look and said they would do their best but she couldn't promise anything. I returned 4 days later having very low expectations, as long as it was almost wearable I would be happy. But OH MY GOD it was perfect. They left a note on the dress saying there were a few spots left, but I couldn't see them. I was so ecstatic I could of kissed the lady serving me. Definitely the best $19 I have spent in my life. I'm generally not a dry-cleaning person. I usually put the washing machine on gentle and hope nothing shrinks. However, there are some special items that definitely need dry cleaning. I would most definitely recommend Ford. They are friendly, fast and do a brilliant job.

From trail bikes, to road bikes, the range is almost overwhelming. Then there are every kind of cycling accessory you could think of.

This is where my next bike will come from.

I would recommend Tip-Top to anyone who requires a dry cleaner. I am always a little cautious when…read moreit comes to the maintenance of particular favourite items of clothing, yet I trust Tip-Top for all of my dry cleaning requirements. Tip-Top is also reasonably priced, with special deals are often on offer. For example the more items collected for dry cleaning, the better offer you tend to receive. The staff are also efficient and will get your clothes back to you in usually no more than a few days. Although Mitcham is my local Tip-Top, there are various other locations around Adelaide.
