Clock Repair Service, Peter Lewin, Owner
P.O. Box 263
Cleverdale, NY 12820
518-745-9616
The owner came on time, inspected the mantel clock, which was not runing, & gave me an estimate of $350 which I accepted as I had no basis for comparison. He took it away, had it for a week, brought it back & it seemed to be working all right so I paid in cash. He said it was a good clock with pleasant sounding chimes. After a week or so I noticed it was running fast, about 2-3 minutes a day. I would gently push the hands back to correct the time but it messed up the chimes, which wouldn't ring until it got back into the 2-3 minutes fast mode. I called to ask him to come by & adjust the time mechanism & perhaps show me how to do it as I wanted the time to be more accurate, being fully aware it is a wind up clock & not battery driven. He refused, saying that he can't be running back and forth, back and forth as he's much too busy. He tried to tell me what to do over the phone but he had no idea what he was talking about as the configuration of the mechanism was not what he was describing. He kept repeating himself, refused to make even one visit to correct his work, kept saying time was money, he couldn't keep going back & forth, etc. until I lost patience & hung up.
As I paid him in cash (no tax collected) I have no other resource now than to put in a review so the public willl know what kind of person Peter Lewin is & evidently is one who does not stand by his workmanship. I will definitely not recommend him and will consult Angies List in the future to insure fairness of workmanship & price.
