Great 'old fashioned' service. Extremely helpful and honest. Could have charged for things not needed but did not do so. Will come again! Thank you.

If i could give this shop more than 5* i would. I had a laptop screen replacement done at a very good price on same day turn around!!! Thanks to Chris who dealt with me, very proffesional and polite, i have recommended this business to friends and family.
2019.07.16 10:36
Speak to Chris for quick and efficient in house Mobile phone repairs. Good honest friendly advise and great Service. Also good prices for high quality or genuine Manufacturer parts.
Thought battery had failed on my iPhone 5s. Chris inspected the phone for free. Advised fault was just a faulty cheap charger cable i was using. Bought two new Iphone approved cables and screen protector at over half price of Apple ones.
Great Service and will use again for any future phone and laptop repairs. Highly recommend

First time visiting the shop today. Really pleased I found it. Very knowledgeable, down to earth staff who helped me sort out an old hard drive and get a PC. Service was excellent and prices were great too - no complaints whatsoever. I would happily recommend this shop to anyone. Really decent people running it. Thank you both @ DAK for helping sort my computer issues - appreciated. Happy customer.

Reviews about «Computer and Phone Centre»
Staff are lovely and I couldn’t be happier. Had my phone screen replaced. When I took my phone to apple to get the battery changed and they broke the finger print recognition. I was told it couldn’t be fixed. However, when I got the screen replaced by these guys it came back with the finger print fixed. Couldn’t have asked for more. They did a wonderful and fast job! Would highly recommend!
2019.07.31 21:42
The lady at this shop fixed my laptop today.
The laptop was fixed, had new programs and security added to it and was ready within an hour and a half. Very reasonably priced too.
Would highly recommend.
2019.07.19 13:09
This is a fantastic shop, not only does it have reconditioned stuff at good prices, they also do repairs at very reasonable cost.
I had a replacement screen and battery fitted to my iPhone 5 for £50 and it's like a new phone again.
If this guy can't repair it ,the chances are it hasn't been invented yet!
I recomend it to you without hesitation
2017.09.16 10:39
Lovely staff, good price
2018.07.23 15:00
Really good shop very helpful staff and great prices. Thank you for all your help see you again soon.

Reviews about «St Joseph's Care Home»
Best care home I've been to . Lovely staff professional caring sensitive and understanding they create and warm loving atmosphere very polite and nothing is to much trouble. Very clean with lovely spacious bedrooms. Very high standard of food and service . Visited a few other care homes but St Josephs is head and shoulders above the others . Lots of services from hairdressing to podiatry and things for residents to participate in , great views of the Warwickshire countryside . Rest assured if a loved one goes to St Joe's they are in the best of care . Manager is excellent as well as every member of staff they are the best thank you for all you do.
2019.08.03 04:43
This is the best care home i have ever been in
Good staff that give the best possible care nothing is too much for them
2019.10.23 15:32
Fantastic place, St Joseph does a great job of caring he's one of my favourite saints, although Saint Dave is my absolute favourite.

Always shut! The display on the window states 'when the shop is open the post office is open' rarely open on a Sunday even though staff are working who usually manage post office even when asked they refuse service it's a joke!

Not as good as it used to be since new owners.
Not enough staff anymore and not as much good sweets and chocolates as there used to be.
Gone from 6 or so open counters to 2 or 3 if you are lucky.
2019.12.26 14:33
Nice Shop and Post Office.
2019.11.23 09:38
Visited today the staff was really friendly & cooperative.Really liked the service.
2019.01.05 13:24
Great friendly service and staff in this Post Office and its shop food and drink items are sold at such great prices and in special offers that it's very hard to resist treating yourself and your family to all the cakes biscuits crisps and other savoury snacks and the chocolates and sweets and soft drinks that they sell. But if you want to stock up on these items then their prices and offers can't be beat. I don't visit that often for this very reason. Too much sugar & high fat temptation! Great choice of greeting cards too!

Ripped off with the exchange rates , nice people I'm sure but don't change any money here
2019.06.27 21:06
Went in to change euros back as purchased from there. €610 only got £500 back. Googled on line the exchanges and if I’d gone several other places I’d of had just over £550. Big difference. Ripped off springs to mind !!
2018.09.03 11:59
Always a great service

Reviews about «Tile Cross Post Office»
Posted a couple of parcels at this post office by first class signed for and it seems they have not left the post office. So the intended recipients do not have their parcels but someone else does. Hmmmm..... I'd use another post office i certanly will not be using this one again for sure
2018.05.22 20:44
The Post Office is NOT open from 6.00 to 6.00. It closes at 5.30 at the latest. Went out of my way to get there only to find it closed.

Reviews about «Kingshurst Post Office»
Rude woman working there early mornings, abrupt and flippant like everything you're asking of her is a massive burden. Wanted to use the post office to send one small parcel and she gave me a look like I'd asked her to peel her own fingernails off.
Wasn't even in the shop when I got there, she was outside taking to her mates and I had to wait for her to decide to come in and do her job. Never again at this dump.
2019.05.07 06:44
Don't believe the stated closing time, its not 6pm or 7pm. I trusted this information to find the store open but the post office closed. I was informed that the post office closes at 5.30pm on weekdays.
2018.02.15 22:08
The post office is not open at 7pm. I repeat the post of is NOT OPEN AT 7pm
2018.11.20 18:12
So I went to this post office to send money using monegram. Apart from the fact that the cashier seemed fed up with my prsence as the task seemed too complicated for her....I felt she violate my privacy. She on her loudest platform read out my address, then as descrete as I was trying to buy some postal orders again she was on her loudest platform to tell the entire shop what my postal orders were for, who they were being sent to and where they were going...forthat cause I have now filed a complaint...very unprofessional and discriminating service!
2018.02.25 00:39
Always receive a really good service from the staff here.

Reviews about «Post Office Ltd»
Consistently awful service in here. How or why they got the job of having missed parcels sent there to collect I do not know. Advertise as being open til 6pm, but was told at 5.27pm the tills were shut and couldn't send my letter off as it was saying 5.35pm on their clock.. At the same time they were still serving someone. Would never step foot in there given the choice!!
2019.11.01 19:58
Rubbish now, since it moved 200 yards down the precinct . Back then you had helpful professional staff. It was a branch office now its WH Smith staff on minimum wage who leave when they are bored.
2019.11.20 23:33
Some staff are good a few are terrible. They guess what size your post is without actually checking it
2019.12.31 12:26
If there are zero star, I will tick 0 star for them. The woman staff is 100% terrible and unfriendly! She urged me to do everything in a hurry, even, I took a picture of my parcel for 2 seconds, she said in 2 times hurry, post man will come, even no one came! She provided a service with unpleasant manner just like she wanted to get customers out!
2019.09.23 10:10
No zero star unfortunately..opens at 8 but post office section doesn't till 9 ?? Odd to say the least ..long queues bad service bad experience..steer clear..old post office was fabulous until they moved

Reviews about «Coleshill Post Office»
This post office has the rudest, most arrogant, argumentative staff I have ever come across. Hilariously I saw a sign today telling customers to respect post office staff. It's a shame there isn't a sign behind the counter telling staff to respect customers. They treat you and your complaint with utter contempt. I will never use this branch again. I send a few parcels each year over to an American friend, which costs me into the hundreds of pounds, when added up. I will now be looking at using an alternative carrier. Honestly? They don't deserve our custom.
2019.06.29 09:36
.I have visited this post office on at least 4 occasions in the past 6 weeks or so. I have found the staff very rude on every occasion.I was told more than once that the only way to send a parcel or package signed for is special delivery which is more expensive.However on asking further questions on other options i was told there is a normal signed for service .
This in itself is not the nature of my complaint. The staff chat amongst themselves and you feel like you are the bystander not the customer. The fact that I am on the other side of the counter is a very clear sign that I am the customer waiting for service.
It is NOT acceptable to be spoken to as a customer without even a please or a thank you. It makes me feel like I should apologize for every visit i make there as though it is an inconvenience to your staff.
My suggestion would be to send them on customer service training
2019.04.17 13:19
Very rude staff sack the lot of them
2019.04.19 07:34
Very poor service ,staff changed with poor attitude and Disgraceful customer Service .Sent item Special Delivery Saying Guaranteed Next day 1pm and still not received after online checking .Stephanie was most Arrogant and rude at which point i terminated the call around 2.50pm on Monday 31st July .Also i personally Went in a spoke to the so called ! branch manger Joe Tew who simply said when you send an item special delivery noting we can do to check and raised hands in air .Handed me a claim form without even checking ,so hence i made a formal investigation and complaint to Post office HEAD OFFICE .No customer service skills and totally unprofessional .To this end IS THE POST OFFICE RESPONSIBILITY WE PAID OVER £6.25 EACH TO SENT IMPORTANT LETTER AND DOCUMENT SO YOU COULD AT LEAST CHECK THE SYSTEM IN PARTICULAR WHEN YOU WERE CLEARLY TOLD THE TRACKING INFO I RECEIVED ONLINE.I would definitely not recommend or be using there so called services in future regards Shaun.

Reviews about «Royal Mail»
Today I was met with a very rude woman who answered the phone, after it had been ringing for ages, at our local coleshill depot. She had an attitude from the off. Was more interested in disagreeing and arguing about my problem with a parcel that had been, against my instructions, left there and not at my home. If she'd been nice and said 'im sorry about that' I would have been ok but she was so snotty and defensive it left me very upset. She didn't see me as a customer but as someone to win an argument with. Someone with such poor customer service skills should not be allowed to deal with the public st all.

Pathetic service by a local branch. Went into deposit cash from kids saving box and it wasn’t bagged in the Barclays bags so wouldn’t take it. I then asked for £4K cash and was told I had to order it.. I thought it was a bank.. may just close my account after 30 years with Barclays.

I went there today, stood for about 5 min waiting to be served as the staff was busy which was ok but then I sat down waiting another 10 min and the staff started serving new people who just came in ignoring me so I had to use my phone to call the Bank to sort me out. Not the best service

If you enjoy spending the day waiting in just a short queue. You'll love it here! But I don't, hence the score.

Very good bank. Nice to still have a bank local as the trend seems to be closing them.They have the usaul counter services and they normally have an adviser on site that is your lucky you can speak to but normally you'll need to make an appointment . There is an atm inside and out.

One old fat blond lady is very overbearing.
I have yet to see any men working in here and no one cares about the LGBTQSHR*! stuff when everyone is equal. Customers want to sort money, not see rainbow flags.

This branch is pretty good near to my house but when I putting some money into my account one of the cashier was asking me to straighten all notes for her and I feel bit awkward ..first time experiencing this kind of service.

Was served by Sharon and Ellie - was patient and very pleasant . Thank you
2019.05.04 17:12
A small bank branch that is usually fairly busy. Online banking means that I rarely have to visit here, but it's always a pleasant experience. The tellers are friendly and helpful. There are two machines inside the bank to deposit money into your account using physical notes. There are two ATMs inside the building and two outside.

Really small bank and always be very busy but staff is helpful. They should make 1 more counter so If it gets busy they can use it.
2018.09.19 08:22
Really helpful staff only down side it's so small. Clearly a popular branch but it gets so packed. If only they moved to the old Natwest site next block down they would be perfect and get 5* from me

Reviews about «Lloyds Bank»
I recently used this branch for the first time in years. I found the customer service assistant and the cashiers friendly, knowledgeable (I was there about a problem) and helpful. However, I cannot believe how long it took. I was at the front of the queue, but waited a very long time because both cashiers were occupied with customers who had problems, and one customer was also being very uncooperative. By the time I was dealt with, the queue was out of the doors. I blame management for not monitoring the queue and failing to bring in additional staff, and also for not being aware that a member of staff was struggling with a difficult customer. Thankfully, I am able to do most of my banking online.
2019.09.08 22:34
Staff are rude and do not really take care of the store properly. Really upset with the treatment received and on multiple occasions have seen staff being rude to members of the public.
2019.11.09 20:29
The customer service at this branch is not good at all. Especially one of the female management staff has a rude demeanor and has a very rude attitude towards all customers.

Being a Fed up Barclays customer I was looking to move my account to this bank....visited this morning ...what a joke...only one cashier on and a que a mile long....big que waiting at the help desk....what a way to run a business. ..manager should be shot ....think I might be better off with Barclays...
2019.10.14 10:17
Went in to withdraw some money from my own personal credit card to be told there is a charge. No hello can I help you just a sour woman on the counter looking at you like you are scam wanting to take your own money out!!! She was rude from start to finish, wanted Id which I gladly handed over. Most unpleasant 10 minutes of my life with the worst cashier I've ever encountered in my life.
2019.02.19 15:15
I went to bank to get signed up for account the lady behind the customer queries part was so helpful she explained the process to me but she had to explain twice as I have an hearing problem and this didn’t seem to bother her she just adapted to my lake of hearing she also helped me to the door cause
having trouble to get around I just thought that I would share my view because she was really nice and that everyone is allowed a bad day because I used to work with the public and I suppose I had my bad days just like everyone else thanks for reading
2019.04.25 17:02
Just a point to show the effects negative ratings can have. I have not been to this branch but would never consider going based on previous ratings. There are many who do the same as me...I'm just leaving a comment showing how damaging it can be.
2019.02.04 19:57
Do not visit the branch very often and today is proof why. An extremely rude cashier would not accept all of the contents of my sons piggy bank as there were too many bags despite it being all bagged correctly. Disgraceful service!!

I was given excellent customer service by a lovely lady called Janet. She we went the extra mile and was very patient in sorting out my banking problems. Janets customer service is an example of how customers should be treated across all banks. Thank you Janet!

Literally the worst branch i have ever visited!! Waited for 20 MINS!! With 1 cashier at the desk she was extremely arrogant to the point where she made herself look like a total fool. Do not visit this branch!!
2020.01.20 23:03
This bank tries its very best. The queues are long but thats down to the fault of many customers not being able to use their online apps to simply check balances, transfer money, pay bills and cash out bits of money???? use a cah point!! , all very simple task, but no they take up the time of the bank staff who could help with other more difficult task that can't be done via app. The staff always try to educate customers on the simple things of using their app but the customer who say they have the app, bluntly say they would rather come into bank WHY!!!!. I have witnessed customers be very rude to staff for no reason other than they couldnt be bothered to use the tools they have themselves and complain how long the queue is. The reasons they are there frustrates me , im there to do business banking , cant do it any other way, i would if i could. Customers need to learn how to use online banking , its not hard!! Dont take it out on the staff!!
2019.08.06 06:58
In a few years time won't be any bank's left anything will be done online I gotta this branch is the laziest the the lines are long and waiting ages because they got 2 people serving customers
2019.08.13 07:31
I honestly cannot believe how shocking the staff is at this branch. From manager to advisors they are extremely rude aggressive and unhelpful. It took me 2months and 5 visits to the branch to request a pin number for my card, I've actually given up and only use my natwest account for online banking now.

Staff are rude and the manager is worse when trying to make a complaint she said we closely shortly. Three cashiers and only one dealing with customers and the cue was atleast 8-10 people waiting! Self service wasn't working!

very disappointed service here . manager rude lady not helpful bad attitude,, I will complain
2019.10.29 19:40
Three visits to sort a simple problem after an online attempt to transfer funds, the account was then locked by the fraud department even after every security question was answered correctly. 3 visits to the branch where passport & driving licence were checked then assured by Halifax staff that this is now sorted and all would be OK. Account still locked, yet another trip to the branch for them to say "I don't know how or why this is happening" I'll move the funds today.

Absolutely dreadful services in this branch, machines don't work half the time, customer service (felicity) one of the most vile people you will speak to-what a joke she is being paid to do a job in customer service, calls the customer a liar when they complain! very defensive, unbelievable that she gets paid to represent a branch, people like this don't deserve jobs when there are so many people who could carry it out better. Stay away and find a better bank.

Beautiful Moon very special last Friday

miserable staff, one Asian woman keeps going on about creases in bank notes as she cannot put them through the counting machine. My heart bleeds... i'm sure as where I keep my money requires it to be folded. i am not going to risk losing several hundreds of pounds trying to keep them folded "correctly". tuff, miserable old cow. The same old - same old. managers clearly don't give a damn ever since Banco Sabadell bought these branches from Lloyd.

Employees need to stop using nearby residential roads as a free car park all day!! Blocking people's drives, parking on pavements, parking on blind bends and double parking!! These people have no consideration for elderly residents trying to cross the road or emergency services if needed as they obstruct the road. Accident awaiting to happen!! Something needs to be done by the management of TSB..

If there is no decent PC repair shop in your area, send you storage device to data recovery lab from the nearest post office. You can pay for recovery services or software registration at any bank.
Stop using the device where you used to keep the deleted data.
Work of the operating system, installation of programs, and even the ordinary act of connecting a disk, USB drive or smartphone to the computer will create new files that might overwrite the deleted data - and thus make the recovery process impossible. The best solution would be to shut down the computer of power off your phone and outline an action plan. If turning off the device is impossible, try to use it as little as possible.
Make up a list of devices where the necessary files have been saved.
Try to remember the chain of events from creating the files to deleting them. You may have received them by email, downloaded from the Internet, or you may have created them on another PC and then brought them home on a USB drive. If the files in question are personal photos or videos, they can still be available on the memory card of your camera or smartphone. If you received the information from someone else - ask them for help. The sooner you do it the more chances you have to recover what is lost.
Use the list of devices to check them for the missing files, their backup copies or, at least, the chance to recover the deleted data from such devices.
Windows backup and restore
You can create backups in Windows both with the system tools and third-party apps.

- Power supply check: The technician will check if the power supply unit (PSU) is functioning properly. If the PSU is damaged, it may need to be replaced before proceeding further.
- Data extraction: If the computer is still operational, the technician will attempt to extract the data from the hard drive. They may connect the hard drive to a working computer or use specialized data recovery tools to retrieve the files.
