    If you are looking for someone who can restore a very old clock and bring it back to good working…read moreorder, this is definitely the place to go. I had a family heirloom clock that another shop had told me could not be repaired. I foolishly allowed them to remove the works and put in a battery operated clock, but I kept all of the parts and occasionally looked for someone who might be able to put it back together. Long story short, I took the clock and all of the parts into this shop, and today I came home with a fully restored clock! I am extremely happy with my experience with this business and highly recommend them.

    I would absolutely steer clear of this place. We took an old wall clock in to be repaired a few…read moreyears ago The man said the orig movement could not be repaired, so he recommended we put in an analog movement, for which he charged $65.00. What he put in was a very simple, cheap, battery powered movement which is in any $3-$5 clock. We took the clock down 2x's a year to change for daylight savings. The clock is in absolutely perfect condition...exactly as it was when I bought it 20 years ago. When we took it down this time, the movement was so loose, it was able to spin around, so would not keep time. We took it back to him to tell him came loose. He put the identical cheap plastic, movement in, but when we came to pick it up he wanted to charge $65.00.... again. He claimed we dropped it or broke it ourselves. We changed the time 2x's a year....hardly abuse. This clock was never off the wall, except for daylight savings time changes. What ensued is certainly worth writing about here, so no one else will have to endure what we did. He became abusive, calling my husband a liar, and screaming insults. I would absolutely steer clear of this place.

    My grandmother's Ridgeway Clock (with the bing bong chimes) wasn't responding to lubrication…read moreanymore. It would just stop after around 15 minutes. This dates to the late 1960's or early 1970's. We ran into Tick-Tock at the Oregon (city) Market, which is held at the High School. I ran home, packed up my clock and brought it to them. Then came the call - it would be until July before he could get to it, but knew what was wrong - the bearings were all worn out. The guy who does the work was trained by the experts years ago to work on clocks like this, so we waited the 4 months for the call. We finally got it, and picked up the clock. Some tips: If you are going to ship your clock, use plastic bags from grocery stores to immobilize the mechanism / chains. This doesn't leave any residue behind (like the foam I used, which had to be cleaned off). Bring everything - the owner ran our clock for 2 weeks after he repaired it to make sure it would work when we got it home. The clock was packed well, the weights were double-wrapped in foam and bubble wrap, and the pendulum was encased in cardboard to prevent it from being damaged. The owner even included a small level (which I used and my clock was level). It's been running perfectly for 6 hours so I'm sure he's got it fixed and fixed correctly. It's also quieter than it was before, which I guess is because the bearings are all new and lubed properly. The repair person provided a card with a 2 year lubrication frequency as well. The price was exactly what was agreed to. No complaints, and I'm glad to have my grandmother's clock working again in my home. It sounds so nice. Now to address some comments: What clock repair place doesn't carry spare parts? A sane one. Do you understand how many different clocks there are in the world? Millions. Knowing where to find the parts is important, keeping parts on hand for even the most common clocks would take a huge warehouse and millions of dollars. I work on arcade games and pinball machines. I have 5 boxes of parts, so far I have been able to use 2 chips out of a $1000 inventory. Is that wise? Nope. Why does it take so long? Because this isn't McDonalds. It's a one or two person shop, and they work on stuff as it comes in. Ask up front, if you don't like the wait, go somewhere else.
