Hidden savior if your glasses need help! After searching high and low for someone to weld a small part of my frame, Dave had everything perfect within the hour. Don't give up when you enter the store and think to yourself this is not a place where I can get my glasses fixed. Just ask for Dave. read more

I travel 25 miles one way to get my glasses fixed by Dave Thayer. Thank goodness there is a skilled eyeglass repairman still providing the services to counter the eyeglass racket. He often can fix while you wait and warranties his work. Give him your business. read more

I met Dave a few years ago after I sat on my eyeglasses. He looked at them and said, "I can fix them." He spent about 15 minutes doing his magic and poof. They looked like new. I mentioned that I would refer him to anyone I met who needed his services. Little did he know I would send him a LOT of referrals. He is excellent at his craft. And humble. read more

Dave is simply amazing. I've been in a few times and sent my daughter in with her favorite frames the baby mangled. Each experience was wonderful. His service is great and his prices are quite reasonable. Highly recommend this practice! read more

Dave has done a repair for me on expensive glasses that I assumed could not be repaired. Top notch.

This man was very helpful very sweet and generous! He straightened out and adjusted my Ray Ban frames in a few minutes on the spot and wasn't even going to charge me anything, but I insisted he take my money! Then my GF had a pair of sunglasses that needed a missing screw and adjusting, so she went back to the car to get them worked on and again he did a nice job in just a few minutes! I'll be coming to this guy instead of Asterix Eyewear who aren't even open on the weekends! read more

Definitely hard to find but well worth your efforts!!! Owner and technician is a super nice easy going person who can repair almost any pair of glasses or sunglasses and even the pairs you think are impossible to fix and most importantly at a very fair cost!!! Highly recommended read more

Dave was super kind and knowledgeable. I had him replace the nose pads on my wire-rim glasses, replace both arm covers, AND switch the lenses from one frame to another of the same kind, as well as adjust the hinges of one pair which were terrible bent. It was an incredibly reasonable price, and true to what he'd told me he estimated it would cost when I'd called him the day before (though he mentioned over the phone that he'd have to see the glasses in person to be sure of how much it would end up being). It ran me $28 total, but I added a tip because he was so thorough and helpful. He had the nose pads and arm covers already at his work station, so the repair was done quickly! Plus there was the surrounding boutique (Crystal Heart Boutique) his repair station is located in to look around while I waited. Absolutely recommend! read more

Dave Thayer Frame Repair - The pair he replaced the arm covers and nose pads on, as well as the pair he fixed the arm/hinge angle on - Eyewear & Opticians Near Me - Hillsboro, Oregon

We enjoyed meeting Dave, who is a personable and friendly guy; you can tell he loves his work! He's probably the last man standing in repairing frames as he explained insurance protection has driven other businesses to close. Reasonably priced repair for my stem and nose pads on plastic frames. I would go back for all my repairs! read more

Dave was great! He fixed my glasses and made them like new. His prices were fair and he did the repairs on the spot!

Dave did a fantastic job fixing my son's glasses. He replaced both nose pieces and even has a warranty on it. Excellent and fast service. Plus it was fun to look at the things in the shop he's set up in! read more

Dave you did an amazing job on fixing my favorite glasses. You were kind, patient and listened to what was needed to be fixed. Thank you and I absolutely recommend Dave for glasses repair. read more

Dave is a charming gentleman. His repair business is a small counter and workshop inside of a fascinating place selling crystals, candles and all sorts of miscellaneous artistic items. He repaired my frames in 20 minutes by rebuilding/replacing a hinge on one arm, all for a modest fee. He saved me hours of trying to deal with an optician who would likely have upsold me on a new frame, a replacement taking days if not longer. Highly recommended. read more

David was able to fix my husband's glasses while we waited, at a VERY reasonable price. I highly recommend him!

My husband had 2 sets of ridiculously expensive bespoked eyeglasses because he requires a special prescription. Each set cost us over $1500! Sadly he broke BOTH of them... We were pretty unhappy. But then we found DAVE!! He repaired both to serviceable condition for less than $100 - we are thrilled! One of the breaks we were sure could not possibly be repaired, so we consider Dave a miracle worker. read more

Dave is excellent. Repaired my frames at a great price and even recommended a great lunch spot!

We were referred to Dave by my optometrist when my prescription glasses broke at the hinge. Dave was able to easily fix quickly and on the spot for a reasonable amount. The glasses are going a year plus now and staying strong. If you need more life out of glasses I highly recommended going to see Dave. read more

Summary: Dave fixed my crooked eyeglasses at a reasonable Price. Highly recommended! Quick Story: I went to Costco to have them fix my crooked eyeglasses that they sold me 3 years ago. It was out of warranty, the lady referred me to Dave. I called him and said I can just drop-in. It took him about 15mins to get my eyeglasses fixed. Mine wasn't a very big issue though, so your wait time might be different. He provided his service at a very reasonable price. Thanks Dave! read more

Best place for repair. Well worth the drive out there. Competent, quick and affordable

So quick and a job well done! I had two pair of designer sunglasses that took a major hit from the heat wave and were all wrapped and bent. I expected to leave them there and get them back in a few days. He fixed them on the spot in less than 30 minutes! So kind, super fast and a fantastic price! Couldn't recommend more. read more

When I asked about nosepads at an eyecare boutique, I was given Dave's business card. I found the address, searched the storefronts, and finally noticed the little placard at the bottom of the front window of the Crystal Heart Boutique. His booth is about halfway back on the left/west. Dave's a fairly mellow guy (i.e. good "bedside manner") and didn't mind taking some time sifting and rummaging through his collection for something that had the right attachment and fit. He replaced my too-small-and-hard pads, and adjusted my frame's temples for a proper comfortable fit. These days, most eyecare boutiques refuse to assist unless they sold you the glasses, so a service like Dave's can be a must for online purchasers who prefer not to adjust their own. Just sayin'. read more

Dave Thayer Frame Repair - His booth is about halfway back from the little sign in the window. - Eyewear & Opticians Near Me - Hillsboro, Oregon

Excellent service! I only waited 15 minutes for a frame hinge repair and the price was very fair. I drove 8 miles to get there but I would drive to his shop again for any repairs. He does jewelry repairs too! Thanks, Dave! read more

My husband broke his glasses and couldn't find anywhere else in town willing to fix them. His glasses were fixed very quickly and for a very reasonable price. read more

Stepped on glasses, popped out the lens and deformed the frame. Took it to Dave, fixed it promptly and charged a very reasonable price. Excellent, skilled and professional. Courteous and pleasant. Highly recommended. I will never go anyplace else read more

Dave was easy to find in a quaint shop with artists and a tea and medicinal shop in downtown Hillsboro. I dropped my rimless glasses and thought they were ruined. He replaced the bushing on the compression attachment on a pair of rimless glasses and was extremely reasonably priced. I will use him again and refer as many people to him as possible. While I was there I picked up a nicely made face mask to protect against Covid 19 and 3 wonderful bars of soap from "Peace of Soap Company". Stop in to this shop for a relaxing stop and to get your glasses fixed, tightened or repaired. read more

Dave Thayer Frame Repair - Replaced bushing in rimless glasses - Eyewear & Opticians Near Me - Hillsboro, Oregon

My glasses broke twice in a week. Once in Canada and then back in oregon. I called Dave and came in the following morning. He fixed my glasses within 1/2 hour and they were perfect., Highly recommend him for quality repair and reasonable price., read more

The temple of my rimless, hingeless titanium frame computer glasses snapped, and my gaffer tape fix looked hilarious but didn't work very well. I assumed I would get a temporary kludgy weld fix while I waited for my optometrist to order a (very expensive) replacement frame, but Dave had a elegant, permanent solution -- an perfectly color-matched hinged titanium replacement temple. Fit and appearance is perfect, I was in and out in 20 minutes, and the cost was very affordable. I'll be a repeat customer for sure! read more

Great job. Supper nice staff and owner. I would not hesitate to go back. Love the art work on display.

Wonderful work and craftsmanship. We are so appreciative of the excellent work Dave provided. My husband's glasses broke between the stem and the frame. We were desperate to get them fixed so he would be able to see again and get back to work. I googled where to get them fixed and Dave was the first one that came up. After reading the reviews, we had to give him a try. We went to Dave's shop at a little after 10am on a Thursday and he fixed them right away. He said "no problem I can fix that. It just won't spring back like the other side does." No big deal for us just wanted to be able to use them until we could get a new pair. Dave is knowledgeable, kind and fast at repairs. I would most certainly recommend him to anyone needing their glasses repaired. read more

Dave is a magician. He just saved me a few hundred bucks while I waited. He's also super friendly and can fix almost anything. Thank you!

Glad I found Dave! He was able to disassemble my frames, reweld the nose piece securely back on, and reassemble everything in about 20 minutes, while I waited. They look great - no need to get spend hundreds on a new pair. read more

It is just past 09:00 Friday morning. I'm sitting in a meeting and I'm taking my eye glasses off. All of a sudden, the nose bridge snaps and the right portion of my glasses fly off while my left side still remains in place. Great... this just made my day. My metal frames were not supposed to break that way! I need these glasses to read and I don't have a back-up pair except for prescription sunglasses. I immediately take off from work to go to my optician. It turns out that my frames are under warranty but replacements will not arrive until Monday afternoon at the latest... not good. I have computer work to do rest of day and over the weekend. Now what? I can wear my sunglasses but what if I need to drive at night? The optician refers me to Dave Thayer. I called to confirm that Dave could help me and he said to come right over. Dave removed the lenses from the 2 pieces of metal frame I gave him, He then de-soldered the broken nose bridge from each side, found a suitable metal bridge from his spare parts bin, adjusted the overall length to match original, soldered the new bridge onto the frame pieces, colored the bridge to match the color of the frames, installed the lenses, cleaned the lenses, replaced both nose pads which were bad, replaced the screws that hold the lenses and the screws for the temples, made adjustments to straighten the frame so it lays flat on a table top and within 30 minutes I had my glasses fully repaired and functional. All of this for $52. To top it all off, the frames look normal like they came from the factory. Thank you Dave! You saved my day and my weekend. Your expertise is incredible. Watching you repair my glasses was a masterclass in efficiency, skill, and customer service. Folks, don't just replace your expensive frames, have Dave repair them. You will not regret pocketing the difference and support a local master craftsman. read more

Dave is great with any eyeglass repairs and fittings. He is the go to guy and can take care of any issues. It is with the utmost confidence that I recommend Dave, I have had over 20 yrs. experience of doing business with him. Thank you Dave! read more

After being told twice that my glasses were not fixable, I came to Dave and he immediately said "Oh yea, I can fix that!" I felt such relief! He fixed the hinge on my plastic frames within 15 mins! Very friendly and professional! read more

The screw came out of my glasses frame and then the lens came out. I spent several weeks trying to find someplace to get it fixed since I am new to the area. Finally found Dave Thayer. He has a small booth inside an artists' store. He replaced the lost screw with a better screw that shouldn't fall out and tightened the other side also. Very helpful. Only charged $6. Quick and thorough, and no waiting in line! Highly recommended. read more

I've used Dave on two occasions now and he is the best around. He's quick, professional and just a great guy to boot He will fix things that you have been told can't be fixed. And he'll most likely do right there and then if he can. The biggest problem I see with Dave is that he doesn't charge enough! I don't think I can say that about anyone else nowadays. read more

My wife sat on my titanium rimmed glasses and broke the hinge. I was expecting to have to pay $300 + to replace them. I called Dave 503-936-5858 on the weekend and he happened to be working outside of his normal business hours. He said come on in. He cut the broken hinge off and welded another one on. Was done in less than 15 minutes. He asked for less than most on line repair places asked for. I know paying with credit card takes away from small business profit so I went to the ATM and got cash and paid him more than he asked for. read more
