I am just back from the shop…read more Went to check and try to find a proper price for an Yamaha P255 Digital Piano. After mentioning to the seller the prices I have seen online he very agressively told me to buy somewhere else. In any moment I lost my temper but felt very ofended when he insisted asking where I am from in a clearly sign of discrimination. If you wanna buy a piano, look somewhere else. Rockshop sells Roland and Kawai and Music Planet sells the Korg range (the awesome Kronos workstations). I am never coming back to Music Works. If you wanna buy Yamaha, look online. The model I am looking they sell from 3k NZD. The list price in Australia (with same plug/voltage) is 1999 AUD (=2.1kNZD). You can find still deals over this price. To ship to NZ they discount the GST that is 10% and you pay 15% when it arrive at customs. To ship is around 200nzd. 500nzd cheaper at least and doesn't need to be offended by an unprofessional seller. That's not to say that in the US (Amazon.com) the same piano is 1299USD.

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.

While paying to get your washing done can seem like a bit of a luxury, sometimes (especially in the…read moremidst of winter, when NOTHING dries) it can be a godsend. Richmond Road Laundromat offers self-service machines as well as an in-house service and to be honest the cost isn't that different. Sometimes I'll wash items at home and just take them here to be dried. Linen, sheets, towels etc - knowing they can be dry and folded in under an hour makes me do a little dance on the inside. It's the small things, ya know! The service is friendly and polite, and it doesn't break the bank.

I have special memories of Cadenza. Back in the day there was a Cadenza Guitars shop in Takapuna,…read morewhere 13 years ago my dad took me in as a little boy one day and my love affair with the guitar started. I'll never forget how the bloke went to some length to find me a perfect guitar for an 8-year-old to start on - a half-size Mitello acoustic with nylon strings and luminous sort of wood. A lovely guitar which I still own and love even if I am a bit big for it now. Anyway, I don't think Cadenza has a Takapuna shop any longer, but I was very happy to find their shop in K Road a few years back. This place is all about guitars, with a particular emphasis on fine/vintage acoustics. It isn't big like the Rock Shop, but it's mecca for the guitarist - it has this nice old wooden smell which just makes me smile. They're one of the best stockists of Martin acoustics, which one of these days I'll be able to afford. Wonderful shop.

A couple of years ago I went into T. White's bikes to ask some questions about getting something…read morefixed on my bike. Had my 4 year old son with me and the workers were cursing etc in front of him, and they were pretty rude so I decided not to go back. Last week however, I had to get 2 spokes replaced on the rear tyre of my bike so I dropped it off at T. White's because it was close to my work. All good dropping it off and the employee was relatively helpful, but then I received a text that my bike was fixed and the cost would be $60. Insane price for 2 spokes in my opinion. I came to pick up my bike the next day and a different employee was there arguing with another customer that the shop shouldn't have to replace some component that had broken on a bike that she had recently bought. The employee first ignored me and then looked at me in an unfriendly manner as if I shouldn't be in the shop so I had to explain to him that I was there to pick up my bike. I once talked to a Galapagos tortoise at the zoo that was more personable than this guy. After paying the exorbitant price for 2 spokes I asked for the receipt which he handed to me with a nice glob of grease on it. I know this is a bike repair shop but come on, get a rag! Even though my bike is fixed, I cannot recommend this business.

Times have changed, and all you get at a pharmacy now is funny looks and empty stares; especially if you're asking for parts for an antique watch. What do you mean you don't sell the little thingy that goes into the watchamacallit? Trying to find my unique parts did not come easily, but I was helped when a friend informed me of a small shop in Milford that might help. And help they did, very quickly restoring my father's old wrist watch to its former glory. That's the nice thing about old time pieces, they last forever. Unfortunately the people supplying the parts don't.

The guy working there was super friendly and helpful with any questions I had about the maintenance of my watches. He had clearly worked in the business for many years, but wasn't stuffy or snobby with his knowledge, as some can be in a high-end watch shop. I trusted them 100% with my watches, and have no doubt that the batteries will last longer than most. Customer service is very important to me, and they were fantastic; I felt welcome from the moment I walked in. Thank you Milford Watch & Clock - you've earned yourself a regular customer!

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.
