Consumer services

Consumer services cover everything you turn to day to day: appliance and flat repairs, cleaning, locksmiths, tutors, salons, delivery and dozens more. In Uzbekistan quality jumps from one specialist to the next, and neighbours' experience helps you avoid shoddy work.

Reviews show what an ad will not: whether they keep to deadlines and price, work neatly, do not vanish after a deposit, and take responsibility for defects. This applies to private masters and firms alike.

What reviews look at

• Price matching quality
• Meeting deadlines
• Neatness and accountability for the result
• Honesty without hidden charges
• Attitude and communication with the client
