Fence Man
I had Armando's fence company and Armando would not pick up the phone after I asked him to modify my fence. I definitely do not like contractors and Armando is just one of them. The fence man, however, is much better. He listened to every detail and made sure that I was happy with the end result of my fence. I will go to the fence man again if i need a fence.
Saratoga Periodontics
This place is good, I found just the right contacts that I needed here and with the right price too. They also gave me a bunch of free samples, so I can wear a contact sample for a month without buying it at all. I could use these free samples forever, who needs to buy contacts. You definitely need to go here to get samples.
Paradise Audio & Video
I asked them to try to fix my television that was broken and they sent a guy to my house to look at it. Then, I was charged for it. It wasn't cheap either. Anyway, the guy diagnosed it and said that it would be too hard to figure out what the root cause of the problem was. I had to call up anohter company to fix it. I was still charged.
Cellcom
I am not sure if these are the same people who make han kook tires (which tore apart on the highway and caused me to crash my VW beetle), but I do not like this place. Just like the other cell phone shops, the guy here could not understand a word I was saying and just tried to sell me the most expensive phone with the most ridiculous insurance plan.
impact communication
I did not like this place at all, they tried to make me buy the most expensive phone and a pager as well, even though nobody uses pagers anymore. The guy did not know what I was talking about when I was speaking clear english to him. He just tried to sell me the phone and get rid of me. I am not going back here again an I recommend you don't too.
Los Altos Rod & Gun Club
This range is excellent, plenty of space and friendly people. The place is a highly visible area which allows me to aim my gun way better than most other places. There is no pollen in the air like the other range in san francisco. This is my favorite range out of all the ranges that I have gone to, and I have gone to quite a few. Service is good too.
A-1 Party Rental Ctr
Okay, so I rented a keg from A 1 party rental center. By the end of the night, I had no idea where the keg was. I am pretty sure that someone stole it. Anyway, I went back to them and they told me I had to pay for it. They were very courteous about it and understood that stuff like that gets stolen all the time at parties. I paid and went on my way.
Bay 101
This card room is very nice, but I feel like they are rigged, always giving me bad cards. They have the shuffling machines, which I do not trust at all. I would rather have a dealer shuffle in front of me than a machine. The chips are not very heavy or thick either. They are flimsy and they stick to each other. I do not like this place much.
Garden City Casino
This place has a very shady atmosphere, unlike bay 101 which has a more lively atmosphere for a card room. When I walk in, I see a lot of old peole spending their last pennies at the tables. It is kind of sad. People play the games here like it is their job and do not have fun it seems. I would much rather go to anohter casino.
Quick Smog
the smogging was quick indeed, just as advertised by quick smog. I wen to the quick smog station and they completed the smogging in less than 15 minutes. The service was friendly and nobody hassled me about anything else in regards to maintenance on my car. I would definitely recommend quick smog station to anyone.
