Nr. Lamb is extremely knowledgeable and meticulous. I really appreciated the time he took to explain (1) what he did (2) precautions I should take (3) and in general, how the various functions of the clock (insides) work. Being an antique there are things that the owner needs to know how to do, such as resetting the chiming mechanism if it gets out of synch. This is an excellent place to get repairs on an antique or heirloom clock.

got a replacememt part for the clock and installed it ourself....there was no cost...he did it as a favor to my husband.

My husband purchased a wall clock for me around 30 years ago. It was a wind up wall clock with a wood frame. We purchased it in Broad Ripple at the clock shop that was there at the time. It kept very good time and was not in for any work. When it finally quit, we took it to the Speedway shop in order to obtain an estimate of repair etc. At that time, it had been 30 years of winding and rewinding and it finally just gave out. In order to repair it to it's new condition, it was going to cost around $725.00 and would take approx 2-4 years to repair. However, if we wanted it changed to a battery clock that would have Westminster chimes, it could be repaired for $125.00. The clock was made in Korea and it was probably not worth the $400.00 that we previously paid for it, so we decided to change it to battery. He gave us an estimate date of around 2 months, however, it actually took only around 2 weeks. He could not take credit cards, which was fine with us, so we picked it up and we are very happy with the repairs and our decision, Later, we may purchase another wall clock, but for now we are pleased. He was very knowledgable and gave us all the information we needed to make an informed decision. We would use him again!

Absolutely perfect. I can't say anymore. I will use this company for all future preventive maintenance.

His service was really good, although I thought he was slow and a little pricey.

Very well, Clock is working well and accurately. It dioes make a strangand correcte noise when striking whuich we will have him check

The service was excellent.

On time. Quick. Helpful with info to care for clock.

Excellent experience.

The work required knowledge as to how grandfather clocks works. As there are many brands and types requires great skill and experience to walk in cold to a strange clock and be able to immediately know what and how to fix it. This contractor had what it takes to fix. His skill and knowledge and willingness to show me what he was doing and why. Keep doing what you are doing!

Mark worked with me to find an acceptable time to come and do the work. He didn't mind me watching him while he worked. The clock had quit chiming, and he got that repaired quickly. He then took the time to be sure that I knew how to keep the clock in good working order. He even got the moon phase part of the clock working again, something a previous repairman had told me was impossible to fix.

Mark returned my initial call promptly and made a house visit within the week of my call. He seemed very knowledgeable in talking about what needed to be done to the clock to get it sounding correct when playing the quarterly chimes. After spending a considerable time working on the clock, he needed to re-do parts of the mechanism so he gave us an estimate of the price of the work, a time frame and then he followed through by returning a week or so later to replace the parts he repaired. The clock sounds great. He was very nice to work with and we will call him again when we have clock work to be done.

Our antique wall clock stopped running. Speedway Clock Repair was recommended to us by a well-qualified person who no longer works on antique clocks. When we took the clock to the shop, Mark took it apart while we waited, so he could examine it and explain to us what he had to do. The final bill was $60 less than the estimate, because he was able to "flip" a gear rather than cut a new one. Because of the repair backlog in the shop, he estimated a 12-14 month wait, it turned out to be 12 months. When we picked up the clock, Mark took 30 minutes to show us what he had done and gave us many helpful suggestions for maintaining the clock in good running order. We are very pleased with the quality of the work and with the care Mark puts into his work.
