This place is amazing!…read more I have a bike which I regularly take down to service. They have the tools and the expertise and will guide you as much or as little as you need when repairing anythign on your bike. What an amazing idea. They ask that non-members donate between £2 and £10 based on how much help you've had, plus they have spare parts to sell you (lots of secondhand components, and they're not for profit so everything is extremely reasonable). Really well kitted out and nice, welcoming volunteers :)

The location is very convenient to walk down to the city centre while you wait for the job to be done. The did some warranty work on our Clio and most importantly I trust the guys thereeven with my BMW. The nationwide garage chain is AA approved and have been Repairer of the year several times (check their website). They accept Tesco Clubcard vouchers towards MOT and service and their newly revamped website is good for making online bookings as well as occasionally finding money off vouchers. Recently their Fuel Service (see website) has received a lot of good press in improving fuel efficiency of cars.

AVOID AVOID AVOID!!! I had used Focus Removals Yorkshire before with no issues therefore, when I…read moreneeded another move doing I obviously went back there. Everything was booked and paid for and even had an email the day before the move to clarify what time the boys were going to be there. On the morning of the move I received a call from Danny first of all saying he didn't have enough men to do the move, then he said he had only one man and will be there to do the move by 12.30pm. I rang Danny at 12.15 to clarify the driver was on his way, he said 'no he won't be able to get to me until 2.30pm'. I wasn't too impressed as the day was getting and in the last move (with exactly the same items) we were done by then. I rang up at 2.30pm as the driver still hadn't arrived only for Danny to tell me the driver's van was being held in a compound and had been all day. I asked Danny if we could arrange a refund as they hadn't turned up and he he said he couldn't give me the money as he didn't have any in his business account. I told him I would like my money back and he said he would have to give it to me from his personal bank account and it would have to be paid back in stages but would be within a fortnight. He said he was waiting to be paid for 'another job' before he had any money. A fortnight had gone by, no sign of any refund. I rang Danny again and he said he couldn't give me my refund as he had no money and had to put his vans up for auction. I explained once he had sold his vans I wanted my money back. He laughed and said that I didn't understand that the money he was getting from the vans was being used to pay off other loans he had. Absolutely disgusting service. I tried to phone customer services-no such thing as it just puts you through to the Teeside depot who did start off helpful saying they would email and phone Danny, but then once they received no response from him they said it was nothing to do with them and I'd just have to wait for him to get in touch with me to sort. This all started in June, we are now in September and still nothing from Danny. Can't stress enough how appalling and heartbreaking this has been for me and my son.

I thought the price for the initial removal was so reasonable and any disassembly and reassemble was only done if really needed. Danny who sorted my removal was very helpful and friendly and gave good advice because of it being my first move. The move was done efficiently and with no damage. Good company xxx keep going Danny!

This place is a fantastic little cobblers. I was on a busy mission in town, which isn't unusual…read moresince I always collect errands in order to make it worth the trip in. (My, I sound old.) One of my tasks was to reheel the many pairs of shoes that had, at that point, just failed. I couldn't bear to dump six pairs on one poor cobbler so I brought but two with me, to gauge how much it might cost at the very least, and decided I could do the rest at a later date. I nipped into Jim's and the bloke immediately understood the task at hand. Presumably they get a lot of trade like me - shoes, that is. He raised a kindly eyebrow and said "Ready in an hour love, that ok?" to which I replied "Perfect, thanks! How much will it be please?" and he said "'Bout a tenner!" How totally excellent. It was like getting two brand new pairs of shoes back, as it had been that long since I wore them last, and for only ten pounds. They were friendly, work was swift enough to shoot round town and do my bits, and it was lovely and cheap to boot. (Hah hah, get it? Yes, I know. It was awful...) Grand stuff!

I've been back several times now, to bring new life to old shoes, and I have to say that these…read morechaps are fantastic. En route to town, I dropped in my solid favourite heels to be fixed up, and was greeted by the ever friendly and welcoming guys that man the shop. I'm sure one of them must be Steve, and one day I might venture to ask which one, but on this occasion I wasn't so brave as to make introductions. It costs just over a fiver to get re-heeling done, and I've never been in without being able to collect the shoes about 30 minutes later. Basically, it gives you enough time to pop off for a coffee, take in the world, and pop back again before going about your day. Of course, if you need keys cut, and the various other cobbler odd jobs, they're ready to provide good service for that too. They're always smiling, they're cheap and cheerful, they're fantastic and I've them to thank for not having to buy new shoes. It's always a pleasure. Cash only, but as Hannah says, there's a cash machine right next door!

Steve's is probably the most traditional business in the whole of Headingley - amidst a sea of…read morestudent pubs, bars and modern delis, it stands proud, providing ye olde cobbling and keycutting services for anyone who so desires. The keycutting services are as fast as they are cheap (very) and on the two occasions I've needed a key cut here, I've had no problems with the finished product working in my doors. Can't say I've ever needed to have a shoe cobbled though. I'm a firm believer in the if-a-shoe's-broke-bin-it school of thought, so I can't comment on Steve's shoe skills, but I'd wager they're as professional as his key-cutting skills are.
