In awarding the iPads to the happy winners, we had a chance to ask each of the lucky winners a few questions.
Was it a shock when you got the call to let you know that you were the winner? Are you a natural born winner, or was this a first?

"Yes, I never win anything. I’ve got the entire team at work waiting for me to get back so we can all have a play with it." Slobodanka Jevtic.
"Absolutely. This is a first for me and I’m very pleased." Nick Payne

Were you happy with the process?
"Yes completely – the process is easy and saves me a lot of time, I don’t have to call a multitude of tradies only to tell me they are too busy and can’t help me now when I can just log in to Service Central, tell them what I want and have them call me and they are usually pretty responsive." Virginia Garay
"Always easy" Slobodanka Jevtic.
Would you recommend Service Central to others?
