Supply houses were out of the weights needed to get the clock working. Once they arrived, he set an appointment right away and did a great job.
Description of Work: Grandfather clock was missing the weights. It was also serviced. Joel Ferris was very efficient and knowledgeable. He gave me all information I needed to know about the clock and the different functions.

We are very pleased with the repair and service done by Clocks of San Antonio.
Description of Work: Our grandfather clock was damaged by movers. Joel came to the house, removedgthe works, and took it back to his shop to order new cables. When the new parts arrived he tested the clock several days and then brought it back, reinstalled and set it all up again. The mechanism was also serviced.

I contacted Mr. Ferris by email and described the situation. He advised he strives to complete repairs in the home, if at all possible. We made an appointment. I arrived home 10 minutes prior to the scheduled time, and he was waiting for me. He was extremely carefull taking the mechanism out of the case, and then took it to his car to clean and oil. He explained that it can get messy, and he would rather take a chance with the back of his van, than with a client?s furniture. He then reassembled everything promptly.
Description of Work: My grandfather clock is approximately 20 years old and has never been cleaned or oiled. It has survived a number of moves and has continued to run.

The clock worked for 5 months but then it just stopped working again. He said that he would return to see what he could do but that has been 6 months and he will no longer return voice mail messages.
Description of Work: He repaired a 40 year old Herschede clock that would just stop running. He made a special trip to my home to return the clock in working order and said that it had a one year warranty.

Exceptional service by a very professional and enjoyable owner -- Joel. Would highly recoomend him to family and friends as his service was very quick (house call), his knowledge of clocks extensive, his personal qualities very professional and his cost quite reasonable. I asked him to find replacement brass weights for our clock and he quoted us a price before ordering and did not require a deposit -- we paid him upon work at our home. In fact when he completed the invoice he told us the brass was in fact $70 cheaper than the quote and charged us accordingly. An honest and professional business. Call Joel as you will not be dissapointed.

I contacted Joel by email from his website. He responded by telephone the following day. He quoted me a price`for the house call and for the service. He also informed me that any repairs and parts were not included in the estimate. On the day we scheduled, he called to let me know he had a cancellation and if it was OK for him to arrive early, which, of course, it was. He arrived and got right to work. In just about an hour, he had our 29 year old floor model clock up and running. He also informed me that the clock was aging, and if it and quot;DIEDand quot; again, he would have to replace the entire mechanism. He left me with an invoice that matched his estimate, and information to share with him when and if I was ready for a new mechanism. All in all, very pleased with his work, his professionalism, his courteousness, and his pleasant personality.

I was not home during the service but my husband reported to me that the gentleman was very professional. He took his time to thoroughly and gently service my grandfather clock. We were charged $85 for a house call and $85 for the actual service. I would rather have paid less but for the TLC shown my clock, I'm glad I chose Clocks of San Antonio. I will use this service again!

Hands on clock did not operate without catching on each other. Have not bothered to follow up on repair because of busy lifestyle and time constraints (lol)! Called to schedule appointment for repair and Joel was able to diagnose our problem very quickly over the phone. Clock was missing small nut on timepieces. He gave me the email address for manufacturer and should have it within a week. Many other service providers would not have taken the time for customer focus and would likely have paid for a service call incurring expense and time, both valuable commodities. Joel said call back anytime when we have a and quot;realand quot; problem! If only more merchants and technicians had such integrity.

Excellent. He was very knowledgeable of the clock and gave proposed fix date. It was over a month out, but he finished it on time for the estimated price. Would definitely use again for any of our fine clock repairs. Several months have passed since he completed the work and everything is working fine.

This experience was excellent from start to finish. When I brought the clock into the shop the gentleman behind the counter examined my clock. He told me about the clock, its mechanism, and its possible problems. He gave me a fair price to try to repair the existing mechanism (about $130 with tax). He told me that if the existing mechanism couldn't be repaired, I could choose to apply the price already paid towards the price of a new mechanism. (The price he quoted me for the new mechanism was fair based on price searching I had previously completed at other clock stores and the internet.) The gentleman was able to fix my clock's mechanism. It took about 6 weeks because of his back-load of repairs, but he let me know of this delay before I left the clock. My clock is now fixed for a fair price and by a competent shop and I am absolutely delighted!
Description of Work: I have a Hamilton Triple Tambour Clock that has not worked properly for years. (It ran fast and the chime mechanism was jammed.) I brought my clock into the Clocks of San Antonio shop. These folks fixed my clock in a reasonable amount of time and for a reasonable price. They were friendly and professional. I will use them again for clock repairs.

Called because my grandfather clock would not keep proper time. Gentleman returned my call (left message). Was polite, professional. Kept appointment, offered suggestions for maintaining clock long term. Amount of work was less that anticipated and he reduced my fee accordingly. Had used this company in the past (did not remember when I scheduled this recent appointment.) Will use their services in the future.
Description of Work: Did evaluation of clock operating system, cleaned, made adjustments to mechanism, and did some teaching about how to care for the clock.
