This was my second time for clock repair. This guy knows everything about clocks! He was about to fix mine while I was there and he explained a lot about how it works. It was more detailed than the instruction manual! read more

John Freeman is an absolute master in his knowledge and skill of antique clock repairs. He was able to repair our 1870's Vienna Regulator Clock that had fallen off the wall in six hours. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We sat and learned so much about our clock as John tediously did the work.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] He repaired a 1890's Seth Thomas Clock for us too. We found Fayette Antique Clock through the AJC Buyers Edge which many of us Atlantans have followed through the years for recommendations on the most reputable businesses in Georgia. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Buyers Edge (in the Living Section everySunday) wrote up Fayette Antique Clock and recommended them as a place to go for antique clock repairs. They got it so right and so did John Freeman at Fayette Antique Clock! Thank you. read more

Took my father's clock to John that he had received when he retired from the General Motors plant for 35 years of employment. The clock had stopped working after 25 plus years of hanging on the wall. Never had it cleaned, oiled, or serviced. Gave John a call, drove out there and he jumped right on it! Clock is oiled up, back working, and he even cleaned the glass and wood on it for me. [[HIGHLIGHT]]He took the time out to show me the issues before I left it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I am thoroughly pleased. He also gave me a lifetime warranty, can't beat it! Walking around his shop is quite an experience as well. It's like being in a time capsule as you see all the vintage clocks, cash registers, meat and coffee grinders, clothing irons and more! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very nice guy and I would recommend him time and time again![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Thank you John!!!! read more

As FJ F. stated in a review "Bizzare". I believe this man is part con artist, possibly has mental issues and for sure has anger management issues. I took him two antique clocks that I wanted cleaned and oiled. Both had other issues as well. The only thing he did was give them a few drops of oil and just like FJ stated, he ignored everything I said. He charged $300 for one and $250 for the other. I got them home and they both had the same issues they had before I took them to him. I got into the first clock and found a broken solder joint and some foreign matter in the gears. I took care of those issues and it seemed to run after that. The second clock had chime issues and I found one issue. I called him and told him about what I found and fixed on the first chock and what I found on the second clock. He wanted me to bring the second clock to him. I did and he adjusted a small spring that I showed him and again oiled the clock. I wanted him to keep the clock for a few weeks to make sure it was fixed. He refused saying he couldn't keep clocks overnight because of liability issues. When I got that clock home, it still had chime issues. I called him and this time he was in the area and stopped by. Again, a few more drops of oil. Then he made some Bizzare statements. He said it was normal for clocks to lose or gain 20 minutes in a week and I should overwind the clock. I watched him overwind my clock to the point in which I thought the spring would snap. He then wanted me to wind the clock everyday instead of once a week. I played his game and that didn't help at all. I then called him and told him the first clock was running very slow and the second still had chime issues. I told him I would be doing a cleaning and oiling and being he refused to do that and refused to put them on a test stand to find the problems I wanted my money back. He refused, but after a lengthy conversation he agreed to to do a cleaning, oiling and observe it on a test stand. I took the second clock to him, he removed a few screws, put them back in and then wanted to restrain the case. I told him he accomplished nothing, he didn't do what we agreed to and then I grabbed my clock and left. I told him I would be in touch. [[HIGHLIGHT]]That afternoon one of his employees called me and wanted to bring my money back to me.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] So know that just a oiling should cost around $85. For some of the people that gave good reviews, maybe they only needed a few drops of oil, but they overpaid by a lot just for that. He also told me that a customer sued him because he didn't fix her clock and he kept making excuses regarding the clock. read more

We called John yesterday about 5 pm to ask about cleaning our 15 year old Howard Miller grandfather clock. He offered to meet us at our house in 45 minutes. 45 minutes later he arrived and went to work cleaning and oiling the clock. He gave me a class in how to do it myself and left me with the special oiler and a suggestion to clean and lubricate it every 2 years. [[HIGHLIGHT]]He was professional and patient with me.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My wife and I were impressed and pleased. Having a good local source for this type of service is a relief. We highly recommend him. read more

BIZZARE! - [[HIGHLIGHT]]I Called ahead and asked if he repairs Cuckoo clocks, and he said yes stop in an hour I'll fix it while you wait.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We drove 45 minutes, and the front door was padlocked. I called him and he and his assistant arrived about 10 minutes later.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] John walked up to me and took the box with the clock and went into his office. I said should we come with you? he said yes, we walked into a room with a desk, and he started oiling the clock immediately before I could even tell him the issue. I asked if there was a cost for what he is doing and he said yes, it's part of his $250 service charge. I said it seems expensive he said I should have told you that before I started but it includes a lifetime guarantee. He said to me, should I continue, and we agreed assuming the "service charge" included the repair since there was a lifetime guarantee and also that he said the oil would fix the clock. [[HIGHLIGHT]]He went back to oiling, and I tried to tell him the issue was that the clock fell off the wall and was not keeping time and it stops running sometimes. He didn't acknowledge me and kept oiling.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] His assistant held our clock in the air turning the clock hands while John continued to oil. After 10 more minutes of oiling, I said John you understand the issue right - still ignored me it was like he didn't even hear me and kept oiling. It was clear he had his own agenda. Then his assistant noticed what he thought was a bent gear and John said that would be an additional $500 minimum to repair. I asked isn't the repair included in the $250 service charge he said no. I said so $750 minimum? He said yes it could be more. Then he went back to oiling. [[HIGHLIGHT]]John said I see you are getting angry. I guess my face showed my feelings. I said well John I am not pleased I feel like you are not hearing me and quite honestly $250 just for oil seems excessive.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] He then ordered me to leave his office. He did not charge us, but the oil did not fix the clock. read more

I have a 50 year old German made, Westminster/Ava Maria chiming, wall clock that needed repairs. I had previously taken the clock to another repair shop in McDonough, but they failed to repair it. Sadly we learned that just because a shop repairs watches it doesn't mean they can repair wall clocks. Then I took the clock to John in Fayetteville, and I am happy to say that my clock is now repaired! John is an expert on grandfather clocks and similar wall clocks. He was very professional and friendly. Our clock is keeping perfect time! read more

John repaired my mother's German cuckoo clock. He did a fantastic job and he explained to us about the importance of oiling it once a year. I was impressed with his knowledge and the time he spent with us explaining other important components of the clock. So grateful for his time and expertise. He is our go-to person for all our clocks! read more

Excellent service, he really knows his clocks. We brought in my wife's +100 year old clock to be serviced and he immediately knew it was German and should be cherished. I would highly recommend them for quality, fair pricing and outstanding service. read more
