We dropped the clock off to get it repaired and it took about 10 days to get back. It was working when we picked it but now it does not work, unfortunately.

We dropped off the clocks on a Saturday morning in August. We actually brought three clocks with us, but only had two repaired. They were honest with us and told us that one wasn't worth spending the money. We got an estimate of the cost and a description of the necessary repairs and were told it would probably take two weeks. The clocks were repaired in the time promised. The antique clock, as it turned out, needed more extensive work than they originally thought, but I trust that the repairs were necessary. The clock now runs perfectly--keeps perfect time, which it hasn't as long as I've had it (15 years or so). It was a very positive experience, and these folks know what they're doing. I give them my highest recommendation.
Description of Work: We had two clocks repaired--one was an antique family clock, the other was just battery-operated, but it had sentimental value so we paid to have it fixed. We met with two different people at the shop--one when we dropped off, and another when we picked up. Both were extremely professional, pleasant, courteous, knowledgeable. We had a GREAT experience. They will be our "go-to" repair shop for all of our clocks, and I would recommend them highly to anyone. It's just a small business that has been around for years, and we definitely liked the "family business" feel of the shop.

Fine.
Description of Work: The service was very professional - we were not sure how much it would cost to repair a grandmother clock and we were not sure what was wrong with it. He came to the house made some adjustments spent about 1 hour and now the clock works.

I am extremely satisfied with their service. There aren't many horologists left; these guys are the real deal.
