[Member Name Removed], Thank you for your feedback! Yes, sometimes the cost to fix a watch or clock exceeds the actual value of the piece itself; depending on the age, make and model of the piece. We hope you are more than satisfied with your repair and look forward to working with you again in the future! Sincerely, Your Chicago Clock Company Team

Terrific ! My wife put in new batteries in the clock but the chime was still off by three hours. I brought the clock in to be looked at. The gentlemen took the clock in the back and indeed it was the battery. However, when you replace the battery in the clock you need to set the clock to ten minutes to six. You never turn the clock hands counter clockwise. Once he did that the clock works perfectly ! The gentlemen gave me written directions for what to do when you change your clock's batteries. The batteries should be changed once a year. The best part is that he did not charge me for the service.

Everything was excellent - timeliness, results, courteous (you have them into your home, so you don't want just anyone). These guys are cheap, but you get what you pay for. I would definitely recommend them for this kind of work.

Excellent job - I'd give them more stars if possible. Right from the beginning there was good customer service - a call to tell me the time frame they were coming one business day prior to arriving. They then called the day of to let me know what time they would be there. Chris and his helper were extremely knowledgable. My clock was from a kit my father made years ago so it wasn't exactly a standard clock. Chris was able to put everything together but then the music wasn't playing every quarter. With persistence he was able to get it going along with hearing the hourly strikes. Chris didn't give up and I appreciate him trying to get it running, saving a trip from it having to be brought into the shop. I am so happy to have this going.
Description of Work: I had my family's grandfather's clock delivered to me and it needed to be put together. The chains, pendulum, weights, etc needed to be added to the clock. I had no idea if it would work after being shipped from another state.

Sadly it couldn't be easily repaired. We had a choice of having the original clockworks taken out to be rebushed or buying a brand new clockwork by the original manufacturer. To be rebushed would take at least five months. To replace new would take three months but cost a little more. We decided to go with the new clockworks and are in the waiting process.
Description of Work: Inspected and tried to repair the clockworks on our Ridgeway Grandfather clock. The gears had frozen due to me not knowing the clicked needed oiling every two to three years. We owned it close to twenty years without ever doing this.

Provider performed service as I waited. You can buy your own watch batteries but it is not advisable to open the watches yourself and replace, so I used these professionals which I believe charged a little bit more for the batteries but nothing outrageous.

Dropped a clock off with a chime issue, a broken door latch, and was given a four month LATER pick up date. Picked up the clock AFTER FOUR MONTHS in their possession - to find the latch still not repaired, brought the clock home, still not chiming. Back in again for another two weeks. Seriously. Now working - but when I saw they were listed in my Angie's directory, I could not for the LIFE of me believe it.

My clock has not been used in many years. They were professional, passionate of their craft/skill and very courteous. The entire works needed repair and Chicago Clock knows what they are doing. Price seems high, but compared to friends, maybe I am not knowledgeable on this subject.
