"But Jeremy, why would I choose to use HB Auto Lock?"Good question! The answer is simple, there's really only only reason: Because you want the BEST!Cars these days are complicated things typically containing thousands of dollars worth of computers. Mistakes caused by people working on your car who are not using the latest equipment or possessing the necessary skills are quick to make and expensive to fix! Think long and hard about who you trust to work on your vehicle. |

"Are you the cheapest in town?"Probably not! We concentrate on being the BEST!Do you want the cheapest person to work on your car, or do you want the best? HB Auto Lock makes every effort to ensure that our prices are fair and reasonable, but we make no claim to be the cheapest option. To be cheaper would mean we'd need to sacrifice either the parts we supply or the standard of workmanship we provide - and we are not prepared to do either! We take our work very seriously and have a high standard of workmanship and thanks to the fact that we are actively involved in training other locksmiths, both in NZ and around the world, we have developed a wide range of resources to help us solve those tricky locksmithing problems. We are completely mobile and can come to you. |

"Jeremy, do you think the Beatles were the greatest band of all time?"FINALLY! An important question!OK - this might be a controversial take... although, honestly I genuinely don't know why; but I don't even think the Beatles are in the top ten. They're probably not even in the top three bands of THEIR time. Personally I think the Beatles were in the right place, at the right time, and unlike the Rolling Stones, (who are objectively a WAY better Rock band) they had the right image for the society of the 60's. I think they took a lot of American music motifs and parroted them back to the kids of Britain in a time where getting access to that type of music was difficult. I think that made them seem more innovative than they really deserve credit for. They had three good albums, and about four touring years before they retire to travel India and sit in Studios making weird experimental stuff. Contrast a band that never would have lasted outside of the 60's with other contemporaries like The Stones, The Band, The Beach Boys, Fleetwood Mac and Led Zep. You really think the Beatles had another decade in them?! Paul and John were not a better writing duo than King and Goffin. Ringo was not a better or more influential drummer than Ginger Baker. They all just had great publicity. Paul had real talent, John was a wife beater and George and Ringo are session musicians at best. I think the Beatles deserve to be top 100, because they WERE innovative, and they did break some new ground, especially in Britain. They definitely influence a lot of later musicians, some of which were in the groups I already mentioned! But they are over-hyped, and if they hadn't done it - someone else would have. They were simply in the right place, at the right time! I would LOVE to discuss this with you further, but you'll need to lose a key first. Then we can debate it while you're paying me! *obviously this is hyperbole - there's never any REAL sunshine in Leith. But you get it. |
