Response from VAN TASSEL'S PROFESSIONAL CLOCK SERVICE & REPAIR
Well, this seems like an unfair grade. No services performed, but a work completed date of 7/15/2016...and no comments whatsoever? I have NO record of any work or even work request from anyone at this address. Perhaps this was meant for someone else? Please be more careful when you leave grades or reviews.

Response from VAN TASSEL'S PROFESSIONAL CLOCK SERVICE & REPAIR
I'm so surprised to see this review. I've been going through all of my records trying to find a recent call from you for service, or recent services performed; I could not find anything. Then I noticed that the date of service was January of 2013. If I did, indeed, do work for you 3 years ago and you are not satisfied, then please give me a call before you leave such a horribly negative review. As an Angie's List costumer myself, I would like to see some comments from consumers that leave bad reviews; yet you chose to leave no comments whatsoever. All of my work comes with at least a 1 year warranty, so if you are not satisfied outside of that timeframe, then please give me the courtesy of contacting me first before you leave a negative review. I strive to make my customers happy, and I'm sure that we could have worked something out...if I did, indeed, do work for you. I'm certain that you understand that it's difficult for me to remember 3 years back when you leave no comments or descriptions of work performed.

Response from VAN TASSEL'S PROFESSIONAL CLOCK SERVICE & REPAIR
Please accept my most sincere apology. I make every attempt to return each and every call that I receive; however, the holiday season is...by far...my busiest time of the year. Many people want either 1) Their clock fixed for holiday company, or 2). A repair for a Christmas gift for someone else. It is possible that I overlooked your voicemail, and for that I offer a sincere apology. Please... if you leave a voicemail for me, and do not hear back from me, then call again. I do want your business.

CLOCK WAS SUBMITTED FOR REPAIR ON 7/2/2003 WITH A 120-150 DAY ESTIMATE FOR COMPLETION. -NO ESTIMATE OF SPRINGS COST RECEIVED, THOUGH PROMISED ON RECEIPT. -NO ESTIMATE OF CASE REPAIR COST RECEIVED, THOUGH PROMISED ON RECEIPT. -CALLS TO THE COMPANY FOR ESTIMATED COMPLETION DATE RESULTED IN PROMISE TO CALL WITH THE ESTIMATED DATE; NO RETURN CALLS EVER RECEIVED (LAST PHONE CONVERSATION ON 06/28/04). -PERSONAL VISIT TO THE COMPANY ON 11/22/04: ASKED WHAT THE ESTIMATED COMPLETION DATE WAS, AND AFTER A WAIT OF APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES, WAS TOLD THAT "WE'RE SHOOTING FOR CHRISTMAS." I ASKED WHY THE ORIGINAL ESTIMATED COMPLETION DATE OF 120-150 DAYS (NOV/DEC 2003) WAS A YEAR AGO, AND WAS TOLD, "WE'VE BEEN SHORT-HANDED." I ASKED WHY NO CALLS WERE EVER RETURNED, AND WHY NO PROMISED ESTIMATES WERE FORWARDED, AND WAS TOLD, "IF WE SPENT ALL OF OUR TIME PHONING OUR CUSTOMERS, WE WOULD NOT HAVE THE TIME TO REPAIR CLOCKS." I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT ALL OTHER REPAIRS ARE AHEAD OF OURS.
Description of Work: NO ESTIMATE HAS EVER BEEN RECEIVED. THE WORK IS NOT COMPLETED AND CLOCK IS STILL AT THE COMPANY. ON 07/02/03 (YES, 2003) MY 92 YEAR-OLD PARENTS' ANTIQUE CLOCK WAS GIVEN TO NOBLESVILLE CLOCK COMPANY FOR REPAIR OF THE MECHANISM AND REPAIR OF DAMAGE TO THE CASE. A RECEIPT/CLAIM CHECK WAS PROVIDED WITH THE FOLLOWING EXACT QUOTES: "SERVICE MOVEMENT AND SPRINGS; REBUSH AS NEEDED (APPROX $900-$1,000). ADVISE ON SPRINGS COST (IF NEEDED); REPAIR DAMAGE TO CASE (CALL WITH ESTIMATE). 120-150 DAYS" NOTHING PAID YET BECAUSE CLOCK IS STILL IN REPAIR AFTER 17 MONTHS AND EIGHT DAYS. ABSOLUTELY ZERO INTEREST ON THE PART OF THE COMPANY TO ADDRESS THE CUSTOMER'S CONCERNS. THIS IS THE WORST EXPERIENCE EVER WITH ANY SERVICE RETAILER.

Response from VAN TASSEL'S PROFESSIONAL CLOCK SERVICE & REPAIR
AS MANY OF MY REPAIRS CANNOT BE COMPLETED IN THE HOME, MY BENCH, TOOLS, AND LATHE IS SET UP AT THE NOBLESVILLE CLOCK CO.; I USE THEIR CLEANING AND RINSE EQUIPMENT. I TELL ALL OF MY CUSTOMERS TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY TELL THE PERSON THAT THEY'RE TALKING TOO (SHOULD I NOT BE THERE) THAT THEY ARE A CUSTOMER OF ANDY'S FROM ANGIE'S LIST. NOBLESVILLE CLOCK CO. HAS CUSTOMERS OF THEIR OWN. THEIR BACK-LOG/TURN-AROUND TIME IS APPROX 120 - 150 DAYS. I TELL MY CUSTOMERS TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY MENTION MY NAME AND ANGIE'S LIST SO THAT THE CLOCK IS PLACED DIRECTLY IN LINE WITH MY CUSTOMERS, NOT NCC'S. I'M SO SORRY THAT THIS CUSTOMER HAD SUCH A HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. MY ONLY ADVICE IS THAT THEY CONTACT ME DIRECTLY INSTEAD OF THE NOBLESVILLE CLOCK CO. THIS IS IN NO WAY INDICATIVE OF MY WORK. PLEASE, IF YOU ARE AN ANGIE'S LIST MEMBER, CALL ME DIRECTLY AT 502-2198 FOR CUSTOMER SERVICE.

ANDY WAS ALWAYS VERY PROMPT IN RETURNING MY CALLS. I KNEW FROM THE BEGINNING THAT THIS WAS GOING TO BE AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR BUT THE CLOCK IS A FAMILY PIECE AND IS VALUABLE TO US. ANDY WILL EXPLAIN EVERY DETAIL IF YOU ARE INTERESTED, AND I WAS, SO I GOT QUITE AN EDUCATION. ANDY WAS ALWAYS ON TIME TO MY HOME ALTHOUGH THE REPAIR TOOK SOMEWHAT LONGER THAT HE EXPECTED. BUT THAT WAS UNDERSTANDABLE, ALL THINGS CONSIDERED.
Description of Work: I HAVE A HERSCHEDE GRANDFATHER CLOCK THAT NEEDED A MAJOR OVERHAUL. ANDY WAS TERRIFIC. HE HAD TO REMAKE PARTS, DISMANTLE THE ENTIRE WORKS, CLEAN, OIL AND REASSEMBLE, LIKE NEW I MIGHT ADD. HE IS A REAL 'OLD WORLD' ARTIST IN HIS TRADE. I WON'T HAVE ANYONE ELSE WORK ON MY CLOCK IN THE FUTURE. MY CLOCK WAS IN A STATE OF RUIN DUE TO AN INFERIOR REPAIR/MAINTENANCE SERVICE, I PREVIOUSLY USED.

MR. VAN TASSEL RETURNED MY PHONE CALL PROMPTLY AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO COME TO MY HOME WITHIN THE WEEK. HE WAS VERY THOROUGH AND EXPLAINED ALL THAT HE NEEDED TO DO. HE ALSO TOOK THE TIME TO SHOW ME EXACTLY WHAT HE DID AND WHY. I WAS ALSO IMPRESSED WITH THE FACT THAT FOR THE WORK THAT WILL NEED TO BE DONE IN THE FUTURE, HE WOULD CREDIT THIS HOUSE CALL TO THAT REPAIR BILL. IT WAS A PLEASURE DEALING WITH HIM. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM.
