Andrew was very thorough and professional. Was very comfortable explaining what he was doing and gave instructions about adjusting the fastness or slowness of the timepiece myself. Responded promptly with very little waiting for an appointment. Considering the convenience of a mobile service, I felt that he was very competitively priced.

He was very courteous and pleasant. Very knowledgeable about the clock- explained to me the condition of the clock and what normally would cause this and he was correct. Ordered placement parts- gave me the price prior to ordering. Very punctual about both visits. Immensely pleased with service and professionalism I received.

Description of Work: Vivi repaired our 30+ year old Howard Miller Clock with excellence. When I heard it chime for the first time in many years, tears came to my eyes with my memories of family past. He also dropped it off and spent an hour helping us fine a place to hang it - stud finder and all. Premium service fair pricing!

The grandfather clock is running but the chimes are not working correctly. The cuckoo clock worked for about 3 minutes then stopped. I followed all his directions and do not want him to touch any more of my clocks. Wasted my money.
Description of Work: Had a grandfather clock that needed the pendulum reattached and a Cuckoo Clock from Germany that needed one chain put back on its wheel and basic maintenance and oiling/cleaning.

The owner Vivi had an opening and came to our house the very next day after I called. He was professional and very respectful of myself and our home. He quickly diagnosed the problem and fixed and serviced the clock. In addition (as this was our first time owning a manual grandfather clock), Vivi also fully demonstrated how the clock works and taught me how to properly wind and operate it. He also gave me some history of our clock which made us love it even more. It works perfectly now and is a centerpiece of our new home. In addition, Vivi also gave us a follow up call the next day to ensure the clock is still working and if we had any questions. This is a wonderful company and I would recommend them to everyone.
Description of Work: We had purchased an older Herman Miller grandfather clock just prior to our move to our new house. Unfortunately during the move, the cables became misaligned and the clock was not operational. I contacted this company due to their ability to make house calls, because I didn't want to move this huge clock again and potential cause further damage.

The owner of A Clock on Wheels was prompt and pleasant, very professional and helpful. The wall clock required repair and the owner recommended that he take it back to his shop so he could assess if the clock kept good time over a week. Additionally, he showed me why, over time, the Grandfather clock would require repair. I was grateful for the education and the honesty. He cleaned and oiled both clocks and I appreciated his professionalism.

Mr. Burlacu and his son performed great service. The clock's chimes had slowly stopped working and then the pendulum would no longer start the timekeeping. Vivi came to the house to pick up the clock and they made all of the necessary repairs and the delivered it back to our house. They were very friendly and professional and i would not hesitate to recommend them to others based on our experience.

The clock chime had stopped working. We were moving from one house to another. ACOW moved the clock professionally, fixed the problem, and did overdue maintenance service. ACOW removed weights, pendulum, and the clock mechanism before moving the clock case. They delivered the case to our new house. One week later, they delivered the mechanism after it had been serviced and set the clock up in its new location. Everything went smoothly. We were impressed with the obvious expertise of Vasile and his assistant.

I had 3 German clocks, 1 Grandfather, 1 wall clock and 1 mantel clock that all were in serious need of service (oil, cleaning, tuning). One of the weights on the Grandfather clock had broken and the winding mechanism was broken. Vivi repaired the Grandfather clock that afternoon and took the other clocks back to his shop for repair. He returned them both in a couple of weeks and they have been running perfectly ever since! I am definitely glad I found this provider!

Description of Work: Vivi Burlacu is the owner, and he came by to fix my grandfather clock. It is a Heritage that my father put together in 1979, and I love it especially since he assembled it. In pulling up the weights (winding the clock),I had allowed the chain of the middle weight to come off the wheels. He not only fixed the clock, but explained to me why the chain came off(so it would not happen again), and told me other important tips that are helpful for me to know about the clock. I have not had my clock cleaned and oiled in a good while, and I am planning to call Vivi soon- probably next month to arrange with him to do this. It will require him to take the works to his shop to do a proper job. Now that I have someone that I know will do a good job, I am looking forward to having it serviced.

Great experience!
Description of Work: My mother's Ridgeway Grandmother clock stopped working. After reading a number of different reviews for various companies, I decided to go with Clocks on Wheels. (I also checked the list of authorized repair shops on the Ridgeway Clock website.where the company was listed.). Vivi promptly responded to my e-mail and scheduled a time to come check out the clock. He was upfront about his charges so we had a good idea of what to expect financially. While I was not able to be available for his visit, my husband found him to very knowledgable, personable and a quality worker. He quickly found the problem, taking the older mechanism to his shop to clean it and to dig deeper into the issues. Long story short, Vivi contacted us and let us know our options, to refurbish the old mechanism or to get a new one. We decided to go new...guaranteeing another 40 years of joyous sounds! I met Vivi when he came back to install the new mechanism...what a charming man, knowledgable about clocks and quite talented in his clock skills. We were pleased with his work and would highly recommend him to anyone! Luckily, he has put us on his check-up list...returning in 2 years to service the clock.

Clock on Wheels has responded to my calls for help several times when my antique clock isn't working. He has picked it up and took it back to his shop so he could monitor it and see what was wrong. Then he returned my calls a couple times when I called with things I couldn't figure out on keeping them running them and adjusting the time. He and his son have been prompt and cheerful every time.
Description of Work: Vivi arrived promptly after a phone call letting him know that my new (second hand) Grandfather clock had arrived. It had been sitting inoperative for years at a friend's. Vivi and son took there time unpacking the components and reassembling it. Within 30 minutes Vivi found the broken and missing spring problems and replaced them. He set the clock, confirmed that everything worked and I am very happy,

I called Vivi and told him that I thought I heard a spring give way in my clock when I wound it for the last time. He explained that my options were either to repair or replace the movement. Since my clock was purchased in 1983 and had never been cleaned or repaired in that length of time, I opted to have the movement replaced. Prior to calling Vivi, I checked a few local clock repair shops and the price Vivi gave me was considerably lower than I had been quoted from others. I had been quoted $300 to repair and $500 to replace the movement. I actually found Vivi's business listed as a recommended clock service person for both Ridgeway and Howard Miller clocks so I felt some comfort in that. He told me if he were to repair the movement, there was no guarantee that something else might go out on the movement. Vivi asked me for the numbers imprinted on the movement and said he would call to place an order for the new movement. Within minutes he called me back to tell me what the price would be and he should receive it in about a week. A week later, he called me to schedule an appointment to repair my clock. The great thing is Vivi comes to your home to do the repair. You don't have to haul your clocks out to have them repaired or cleaned. While he was here I had three other clocks I asked him to look at to see if they needed anything. They were running fine, but had never been cleaned or repaired. He showed me a problem that may be forthcoming on my grandmother clock and I told him I would just wait for it to quit and then have him replace the movement in that as well. I am very interested in how things work, so I watched Vivi in action and felt confident that he knew what he was doing. He was also very good at explaining things when I asked questions. Vivi also gave me a one year warranty on the repair. I would definitely recommend A Clock on Wheels for your clock repair.
Description of Work: Replaced Hermle movement in Ridgeway Regulator School House clock. Also checked three other clocks for me while he was here to see if they needed anything. They were running, but I just wanted to have them looked at while he was here.
