Reviews
You can't please every customer every time. And god knows I'm a difficult customer. But the staff at als are excellent and are always pleased to see me. They put up with my relentless messaging and ordering of spare parts. They always get exactly what I need and fast. And as a valued customer I'm always getting micro discounts and little freebies thrown in with my purchases. Als is all the model shop you will ever need. And the customer service is the best!!! If you don't agree then you must be mad in the head. Great job always thanks guys!!
Received outstanding service from them this morning. More than happy to use again�
Really helpful staff, great prices and amazing planes on show
Popped in to get a couple of Lipo batteries. Spent an hour in there. Al is exteremely knowledgeable - got the low down on the best way to charge and store Lipos. I ended up buying a 4 way charger and lots of cables - not what I intended but hey it is Christmas!
Just brought my Tamiya hotshot and these guys have been great. So helpful and nothing is an issue!! Already looking at another model for later on this year. You won't be disappointed or let down with these guys
I've used Al's Hobbies for more than 15 years now. The service and the knowledge of the staff have always been great. I love buying from a family business like my own, you get a more personal service and that's exactly what you get with the Machinchy family.
I recently went to Al's Hobbies and received excellent costumer service as well as knowledge on how to use the batteries. Al was very patient and helpful and I will definitely go back. Thanks for all the help.
I bought some bits at LMA Gaydon but I left some on the counter. The team remembered me and are sending the items on. What a brilliant service, thank you.
Great service from Steve yet again, ordered on Wednesday 27th delivered Friday 29th � highly recommended �
Great service from Als, ordered some servos about noon Wednesday and they arrived at 10.30 Thursday, Thanks to Gary for sorting it out so quickly.
Great service and great after care all the time...friendly people too
Good lads, very reasonably priced fuel for nitro cars, will be asking for info about brushless parts soon too.
Brilliant place very friendly and welcoming and helpful in every way possible
As an ex Model shop owner, since I retired I've used Al's a fair bit and always had good, friendly service. You've got to do something really stupid to upset any of the Owners or staff!

Always helpful and polite guys
A very big Thankyou for the excellent Spektrum service from Al's Hobbies and their Spektrum Engineer...
I posted my DX9 from the Hampshire south coast for a Health Check a mere 48 hours ago and I have literally just received it back by courier!
I received a phone call from Gary yesterday lunchtime fully explaining clearly all the tests and re-calibration he had carried out.
£30 (including return postage), money very well spent indeed.
Thankyou
Ian
