Latest tech in Manchester

“Nestled in the bustling heart of Manchester Arndale at Unit R3, Halle Place, Market Street (M4 3AQ), Immersive Gamebox transforms a compact room into a high-octane augmented reality playground. This isn't your standard arcade—don lightweight motion-sensing visors, and suddenly, walls pulse with interactive projections, surround sound engulfs you, and every gesture controls the action. Games like Shaun the Sheep's Mossy Bottom Championsheeps or Angry Birds pit teams against puzzles, races, and battles, all in 60-minute bursts of collaborative chaos. For kids' parties around age 8, it's an absolute winner. Tailored for ages 8+, these experiences demand no prior gaming skills—just enthusiasm and movement. My group of eight-year-olds squealed through sheep-herding mini-games and alien invasions, their energy perfectly matched by the physical, team-based fun that builds camaraderie without screens glued to faces. Private boxes for 2-6 players (multiple for larger parties) mean no strangers crashing the vibe, and dedicated birthday packages add pizza, fries, and unlimited squash in a post-game lounge—pure party fuel for £20-£30 per child.”

“Had some issues in getting my car booked in at the carshop (now motor range) even thought it's under warranty, contacted this garage and saw me same day eventhough they were busy, test drove my car and also did a diagnostic. They explained everything thoroughly and didn't try to blindside me with scary information so that I'd pay an arm and a leg. First time coming to this garage and definitely won't be the last!”

“Outstanding service from Sherif! After calling around trying to get my coolant leak sorted in my 2018 VW Passat, Sherif was able to fit me in the very next day. I brought my car to him and after a diagnostics tests he diagnosed the issue — a faulty water pump. He clearly explained what the problem was and where it was coming from, then gave me a quote right after the diagnosis. When I asked when it could be fixed, he said he could start immediately. The next morning, he called to let me know the job would be complete by 4pm and the car was ready for pickup right on time. He even went through the old parts with me and explained everything again. From start to finish, the service was excellent. Reasonable prices and so friendly! Thanks so much, Sherif — really appreciate it. Highly recommended!”

“Took my car for MOT test and service check last month. Staff were very honest, they gave me a proper breakdown on what were the faults within my car and they don't try to rip you off like other places. The price was cheap, reasonable and affordable for their services. This garage has a long history of high quality service and repair. I've been a customer for over 12 years and have always been satisfied with the quality of work and customer service. Their fault finding service are honest and reasonably priced - they will not get you to replace something that doesn't need to be. They are hard working people and very professional. I would not hesitate to recommend this garage to anyone. Mr Gino is very educated on all vehicles especially toyota nissan and german cars.”

“Vast variety with amazing prices, excellent service.”

“Nice friendly staff, very welcoming. Good selection of electronics. Excellent customer service. Highly recommend. I have previously used cash generators and the staff there are awful. If you are nearby use this shop as they will look after you. When a product is faulty they are understanding and solve the issue promptly. Cash generator are the opposite and will hurl abuse at you. If you are looking for a good 2nd hand store or somewhere to pawn a couple of items. Use CGX”

“The two men working today were absolutely fantastic and supper helpful when buying head phones. My daughter had lost her airpods in security and we had minutes to spare to get something similar! thanks for all the help”

“Fantastic tiramisu and the fresh pasta makes all the difference. Foccaccia was abit oily but still tasted amazing as did the calzone. Excellent service and quality produce highly reccomend.”

“Needed to have my daughter's screen replaced on her brand-new Samsung phone as she dropped it on concrete only 2 weeks after receiving it for her birthday. A Gentleman named Mo who is very polite and professional quoted for and fixed the phone the same day. I didn't need an appointment, the phone was fixed in just over an hour. He also put a screen protector on the phone the prevent any future scratches or bumps. Mo had plenty of knowledge about tech and I was confident in his ability to get the job done for a reasonable price. Thanks Mo, will recommend you in the future!”

“From the time my implanted molar was fitted I stopped noticing it was there. Admittedly it's a long process to get to this point but I was advised of this and had regular checks along the way. I was impressed with the scanning technology Croft Dental used to get the implant fitting right first time.”

“Wonderful in every way! My skin has never looked or felt better and always with an amazing glow afterwards. Katie is really knowledgeable and makes the whole experience a real treat.”

“My friend recommended Adam and I booked a consultation to discuss tear trough filler. Adam and his partner are so welcoming and friendly and made me feel completely relaxed. We discussed my under eye concerns and Adam was so informative giving me different treatment options and recommended skin boosters as oppose to filler. I’m so glad he did as I’ve just had my second lot of boosters and I couldn’t be happier with the results! He really takes time to listen and explains everything in great detail, along with aftercare information and advice. Would highly recommend and can’t wait to continue with my treatments!”

“We had our regular annual boiler service yesterday, and were so pleased with the attention received! Danny arrived when we were eating lunch and insisted on sitting in his van whilst we finished eating (only a few minutes), as we have a walk through kitchen/diner. He then completed the service, as planned, to our satisfaction, leaving the area as clean and tidy as he found it. I can highly recommend both Danny (service engineer) and the lovely Becky ( she always organises the date and time of the annual service). Both are so polite, friendly and accommodating. Thank you Laceys!”

“Can't recommend them enough. I took my straight piped golf tdi to them a few months ago for a remap and hardcut/deepidle and was blown away by the results. I have an E92 M57 330d now which had clogged up swirl flaps and dpf too. Of course I had to contact redline again after the amazing job they already did and once again they delivered mighty results. All the issues are fixed and the remap is absolutely incredible. This car pulls like a train now. Their remaps are the perfect balance of performance and reliability with a very enjoyable power delivery. I will bring all my future projects here and recommend you to do so aswell!”

“We have used these guys for years now in our body shop ,By far the best out there !!! Always on time and work carried out is fantastic ,What more could you want highly recommended to anyone .”

“This is a caring, first rate dental practice. We recently moved house to a different area but are staying with the practice because of the standard of care. All the staff are excellent Special shoutout for Carole our hygienist who has worked marvels to reduce gum inflamation and saved my teeth. Can't praise her highly enough!”

“So impressed with how professional and tidy the whole job was. Really nice people to deal with. Jamie was very responsive from first enquiry. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to even the fussiest person! Very pleased.”

“Popped down to Ashton Auto Point to have a car audio interface fitted, along with a rear camera. I was presented with a fast and efficient service. Darren was friendly and able to get it fitted within a couple of hours for a reasonable price. Would highly recommend.”

“What a fabulous dentist, from the lovely friendly receptionist Sharman to the dental nurse, all very professional and friendly, they really couldn’t be more attentive and warming upon your arrival. Because let’s face it going to a dentist isn’t pleasant but after my visit here today I couldn’t be more happy that I chose Excel dental practice for my needed treatment, They really listen and have your care at their best interest, I look forward to my next visit. I would give 10 stars if I could. X”

“I made an order yesterday and was pleasantly surprised at how fast this arrived - this morning! Thanks so much. I'm very happy with the product. I've tried so many guillotines that oddly never seem to cut straight (one job!) this one is spot on thanks so much. Very happy customer”

“Fantastic fast and very friendly service. I’ve had a few things there ifor repair the past two weeks and I couldn’t be happier with the service. I would recommend this shop to anybody.”

“Got my Samsung from gadget world great service by sol , thank you”

“Great friendly service from Andy and Sue. I would highly recommend this garage for car repairs or vehicle service”

“My wife and I recently moved from another dental practice to Freedom Dental where we were warmly welcomed by all the staff who were happy to answer all our queries. We had a full dental examination including x rays and then given personalised treatment advice. We would be happy to recommend Freedom Dental to people seeking a dental practice in Cheadle Hulme.”

“I can highly recommend Carly. She did my hair recently, immediately "got" me, intuitively understood what I liked, how my hair naturally curls and gave me great advice. I am thrilled. Will definitely revisit.”

“I have had two repairs done here, an iPad port/charger issue back in 2021, and a replacement screen last November (2024). Both have been excellent. I've had no issues with the replacement screen whatsoever and it resolved an additional microphone issue I had that turned out to be hardware related! It may not be the cheapest service - another potential customer was moaning when I was there - but I think that's because they are doing a good job. I would trust them with any future repairs.”

“Brilliant, I use them all the time and so do all of my family and friend's. We all get our repairs and MOTs there. Friendly staff and their workmanship is ace.”

“Me and My Partner have struggled to find a NHS dentist. We rung here and straight away they were happy to take us on and offered us both appointments straight away. We have attended our appointment and the staff are extremely polite and happy to help. This is nothing like some NHS dentists where NHS patients are treated like dirt. The treatment is performed with a high level care and the staff (Dentist, Assistant and Receptionist) are very understanding about any of your concerns no matter how little. Both me and my partner are happy to have been taken on here and will be happy to remain here for the foreseeable.”
