Armadale is the south-eastern-most suburb of Perth, the state capital of Western Australia.
My name is Bret Busby, and I have lived in Armadale, WA, for 15 years (as at September 2008).
I have created this web page, to promote businesses that are local to, and businesses serving, Armadale in Western Australia.
If you contact one of the businesses listed on this web page, as a result of seeing the business listed on this web page, please tell the business that. And, if you want, tell me, too.
This web page is a work in progress, and I will be working on it as time goes on.

Swan Auto
Their service is excellent.
Swan Auto supply and fit new and used parts for Subaru, Daihatsu, Mazda and Alfa Romeo.
And, the man that works on Subaru vehicles, owns and drives a Subaru,
so he has good knowledge of Subaru vehicles,
and is better at working on Subaru vehicles, than some Subaru distributorships.
Swan Auto is located at 31 Austin Avenue, Maddington.
Swan Auto can be contacted via
the phone number (08) 9493 3555,
the fax number (08) 9452 8222,

Maddington Smash Repairs
Their service is excellent, for both insurance work, and
work that does not involve an insurance claim.
Maddington Smash Repairs is a Recommended Repairer for ALL major
insurance companies, including the RAC.
While Maddington Smash Repairs may be regarded as servicing Maddington,
Beckenham, Kenwick, and Gosnells, rather than Armadale and Kelmscott,
their service makes them worth travelling to, and, some dodgy panelbeaters
exist in many places, but Maddington Smash Repairs is not a dodgy
panelbeating company - it is a panelbeating company that I strongly recommend.
Maddington Smash Repairs are located at 6 Malcolm Road, Maddington.
They can be contacted via
the phone number (08) 9459 3430,
the fax number (08) 9493 3430,
or by email at maddington.smash(at)bigpond.com .
Aaron Lee Pest Control
I can no longer recommend Aaron Lee Pest Control. Personal experience, and information revealed in 2006/2007, has showed that the company has been using weaker solutions of the treatment chemicals than it was supposed to have been using, putting its clients at risk, and unscrupulously exploiting the requirement for pest control.
Unfortunately, it appears that it is diffcult to find a pest control company that services Armadale, that is any good.
Ray White
Ray White in Armadale is a bodgy property management company, that is best avoided, unless you want to pay them money and not have your property managed. And the Ray White headquarters in Perth? They simply don't care that they are a bodgy company.
Elders Hillside
Elders in Armadale is similarly a bodgy property management company, that is best avoided, unless you want to similarly pay them money and not have your property managed. And the Elders headquarters in Perth? They similarly simply don't care that they are a bodgy company.
These two estate agency companies are best avoided, if you want a trustworthy real estate agency company.

Soul "Communications"
Soul "Communications" is a company that took over the operations of DigiPLUS
Soul "Communications" is a company that I strongly recommend against using, unless you want to be made to pay for services that are not provided, and, unless you want to have your communications wrecked.
And, Soul "Communications" does not respond to problems that are raised with them. They tend to ignore problems that are advised to them, hoping that, if they ignore the problems, the customers will forget the problems. They just keep charging for telephone services that they know to be not working.
Trying to contact the company, to report faults,
involves waits of over half an hour at a time, in queues, with chants
being played by Soul, over the telephone, while waiting in the
queues, telling us to take our clothes off and do things. And, after
having been made to wait in a queue for over half an hour, you will
probably find that the call is suddenly terminated by the phone
company, so you have to go through it all again, repeatedly. And,
with some departments, such as the company's complaint handling
department, to which the Telecom Industry Ombudsman's Office refers
victims of the phone company, when phoning that department on the
"direct number", and being made to wait in a queue, wasting
even more time, after having been made to wait in the queues for that
department, for an unreasonable length of time, the company plays a
message advising that the office is now closed, and hangs up,
terminating the call.
And, making a complaint to the Telecom
Industry Ombudsman office, against Soul, results in family members
being harassed by Soul.
My experience of Soul "Communications", is that it is a company that "has no soul", that sets out to do as much harm as possible, and, it does this all with the blessing of the Telecom Industry Ombudsman's office.
It appears that, in Australia, telecommunications fraud is mostly not a few people ripping off phone companies, but, is mostly, phone companies ripping off their customers, which the phone companies are apparently allowed to do, without ever being either prosecuted or required to compensate their victims. And, this telecommunications fraud appears to be approved by the federal parliament, which provides no protection to the public, against criminal phone companies, as the federal parliament carefully avoids providing any consumer protection.
And that is apart from the sabotage performed by the company.
It is simple; if you want reliable telecommunications, and, if you want to be not charged for services that are not provided to you or otherwise defrauded by a telephone company, or to be not subjected to sabotage, choose a company other than Soul.
