used to be good
We used SC in the past with great success for quite a few jobs and in two cities.
However a couple of years we tried to get a fairy basic job done and got no responses, then when it happened again for another job that was it, did not use them any more.
After that we stopped using SC and have not heard any more since, did not even know they were still going.
Would have great potential if properly run.

Still waiting for quotes and tradies to contact me.
I got 3 tradies accepting to contact me, Just 1 really contacted me and sent rough quote, so just a waste of my time.

You still exist ? !!!
Have used service central many times with generally satisfactory results. However last job earlier this year ended up being responded to by an organisation with a totally different name. Very strange so I made enquiries of the responding organisation and service central. No response from either so I'm not using either organisation now.

*** Warning Do Not Use this Service You Will Regret It.***
I used Service Central to have a trades person come over to repair a major Kitchen appliance. The trades person come over advised me that it need a new part and he will have it in a few days. A few days later the trades person came over and replaced the part. He would not show me the part he replaced, advising me that he through it in the back of his truck and he would have to move everything to access the part.
I paid him and asked for a receipt for the call out and the part, he advised me he would email it to me. A few days late the appli...Read more

Good Service
I have used service central in two occasions, the first time it was very good. The tradesman was professional and knew what they were doing. But the second time not so much. Over charged me even after helping him. Cant really blame service central, as they provide a good service and take the hassle out of looking.

happy with service
i've used this service a number of times over the past few years. i've been happy with the responses, and with the quality of work carried out.
it saves a lot of time, especially when looking for specialist work, such as fixing / installing drip watering systems.

Crooks and shonky Trades people everywhere.
On the occasions I've used here I've had nothing but grief from crooked tradesmen. From roofers to Concreters and others. I'll never use this service again. I can't directly blame Service Central I suppose but the tradesmen this site attracts are exceptionally poor. Poor value, poor work, poor communication and attitudes. If you want to fill your life with anxiety and grief use Service Central.

Can't choose zero stars
As a tradesman, this service is rubbish, I use three other well known service providers and have never had one problem. I get more work than I can handle and my customers are highly satisfied with my service as stated in the over 100 reviews I have, not one of which on all three sites has ever been negative, not even one.... Yet you check out my service central profile, and it would appear I should be on a current affair as a dodgy builder. The review system is a joke, I'm all for honest reviews, good and bad, but they should be filtered by se...Read more
rvice central before being posted online. One example of mine is a lady wanted a room devided in two with one wall and a streamline window to run along the top of said wall, I responded, drove to Richmond and quoted that same day, she came back to 4 months later saying she was happy to move forward. I informed her it was 2 weeks till Christmas and I could not have the window manufactured until the new year as they are to busy, unhappy with that because "we have to be out of this house in January".... She called around and found a supplier who would complete it in a week. I rang to confirm and found that this window was double the price of the one I could get and therefore not only would I not make money from the job I would be paying to go to work, as she was adamant that the job had to be done at my original quoted price. I informed her of this. To say she was unhappy is an understatement. I said there was nothing I could do but would be happy to do the job in the new year if she could wait for the supplier to reopen. She said NO!!! I guessed I would never hear back from her. But I was wrong, my phone beeps two days later to say I have received feedback on my profile. I go to read it and find it is a completely fabricated account of what happened. No truth at all to it. Doesn't mention her taking months to come back with a decision, which I'll add is fine, no mention of Christmas in a fortnight, me trying to find other suppliers for her, her rediculous idea of "this is your quoted price, it shouldn't matter what the window costs, I've found one that will work"... I guess what I am trying to say is that people are free to write whatever they like, wether it be true or not, there is no filter. I could go on there and bag out any of my competition if I like with no comebacks. Out of my 25 odd testimonials I received while using service central, the 4 negative ones I received where from people who didn't even use my service. I work really bloody hard on my customer relations, and the service I provide, probably while most of you reading this sleep. that's why I have Happy customers and have done since 2001. Service central has done nothing for me but tarnish an otherwise excellent reputation I have grown over a decade and a half, and it's online for all to see... Best part is, it's cost me $4000 for the luxury of this nightmare... P.s service central, say there is nothing they can do to fix this floor in their own program. I guess that's why they are suffering, when other service providers and myself are flourishing... Hopefully they are soon wiped out along with my online profile.....Similar opinion?

OK
Used Service Central twice, first time good ~ 2nd time was for home air condition repair the guy came twice to fix it charging more each time and the result was the air condition still didn't work correctly gave up ~ I am dubious about using Service Central again ~ Maybe Service Central should check tradesmen's qualifications and past customer performances

So Easy to Use
I have used service central for the last 5 years. I have used them to find Electricians, Builders, Landscapers and Concreters for everything I needed to do to finish my new house. I get 3 companies that want to work and want to give you a quote and i get to pick the best. Works everytime.

Saves a lot of time
I have used service central several times over the last few years. The great bulk of the service providers responded quickly. While, not all turned up to quote, the majority did. (Tradies not turning up has been going on since the time of the pharaohs!). Generally, the quotes were reasonable. The real value in this service is saving time and the ability to rate the service providers back to service central.

Wouldn't have been able to renovate my shack of a hovel without it
I wouldn't have even know where to start without Service Central. At least I know they want the job before contacting me, unlike me ringing people off Google or Gumtree. So thanks!

Great service.
I was regularly frustrated finding tradespeople before I started using Service Central. The turnaround is really quick and it helps having the review system.

Great to find specific trade skills
Service central is a great place to look for trades people who have specific skills for specific tasks where not every trades person have. I posted my requirements and received a few phone calls to clarify the job requirement which finally one of the trades person could perform. Highly recommended.

Great Service
I have used Service Central on numerous occasions over the past few years and each time my experience has been a positive one. The service people reply very promptly to my requests and each one we have chosen has been professional, courteous, friendly and on time. I have never had a problem with them and I recommend the service to all my friends.

Very good experience - talk to each tradesman first.
I have now used Service Central for 2 jobs that I needed to attend to at home and in both cases each tradesman that I selected was very competent and professional and importantly - turned up on time!
I would not hesitate to use this service again - tip - speak to each tradesman prior to selecting as some that responded were unable to help.
