This place is busy from the dawn to end of night. I like it because I can get in & get out when the jobs done. The shop & the machines are cleaned everyday. I have laundry facilities where I live, but I prefer this laundromat because it fits in with my lifestyle. For me its awesome.

Bob has honed in on a niche market of making and repairing all things canvass, a skill he has…read moreperfected and one in demand. Considering Westpark Marina is in close proximity, business must be good in the marine sector of their market. Sailboat repairs are their specialty. We know a few people who have yachts down at the marina and they use this business to repair any of their boat covers or upholstery cushions, etc. Moving on to shade sails, which are a great way to protect outdoor areas from the blistering heat as well as offer protection from the rain, they can be custom made here. If you have a spa pool cover or a tarpaulin in a state of disrepair, bring it into Bob who will have it looking as good as new in no time.

Surman's is a menswear store near the more well stocked mall in New Lynn. With a mall almost…read moreentirely composed of well stocked fashion stores it begs the question of why I should go out of my way to this shop? The majority of clothes on stock are made for the larger sized male. The price is not reflective of the quality of ugly baroque patterned shirts and white suit combinations. The staff sat clearly in sight, smacking their lips during a lunchtime meal and ungraciously ignoring me. So I couldn't think of a good reason why you would want to go out of your way to visit this rather poorly organized store. Stick to the more mundane mall stores where at least you are guaranteed service.

I'm not usually in the market for buying men's clothes, but I have been in here a few times and am…read morea fan. The first time I was looking for the post office, which is theoretically on Great North Road but in reality isn't, and the kind chap who is the proprietor here gave me very good directions. I've also been in here with someone who did want to buy men's clothes, and again, the owner was very gracious and helpful. This is the sort of clothes shop where everything is good quality; most of it isn't absolutely cutting-edge fashion, but if you dressed exclusively from here, you'd be bound to be classically well turned out all the time. They can also tailor clothes here as well, and I'd bet that they do a good job at that too. I wish there were woman's clothes shops that were more like this place.
