I got this watch as a gift and it means a lot to me. Sine I've owned it, the watch never actually had a working battery so recently, when the old strap ripped on me, Jimmy, the owner of fixing time, was able to replace the battery and band. Seeing the watch work for the first time since I've owned it and present itself in a whole new light left me speechless to say the least. Jimmy runs an incredible store, mentored by his father, it was awesome to have been attended and served by him and his story. Thanks Jimmy. Hope to see you again soon! read more

Fixing Time - Repaired watch - Watch Repair Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I can't say enough good things about Jimmy at Fixing Time in Encino. I originally went to him for a simple watch battery replacement on my Concord watch, and that great experience brought me back this week when I needed a broken chain on a diamond necklace repaired. Jimmy fixed it quickly, did beautiful work, and charged a fair price. He's incredibly knowledgeable, honest, and truly personable--you immediately feel like you're in good hands. What really set him apart, though, was his customer service. There was a sketchy guy lingering outside when I was leaving after dark, and Jimmy insisted on walking me to my car to make sure I got in safely. That level of care is rare these days. If you need jewelry repair, do yourself a favor and go to Jimmy at Fixing Time. You won't be disappointed. Thank you, Jimmy! read more

Fixing Time - All fixed! Necklace chain repaired by Jimmy - Watch Repair Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I had an old combination glass-wood wall clock that I bought 20 years ago - literally no other clock repair store around the Encino area where I live said they could fix it. I even tried some others a bit farther away and they all said "we can't fix that kind of clock." I don't know why, because what was eventually done by Jimmy at Fixing Time was like NOTHING compared to what I'd call really major repairs. I was referred to Jimmy by a guy with a store in Valencia, quite a ways away. Jimmy had the clock fixed in a week - he didn't have all the parts so it took a few days which was no problem. If you have a timepiece needing fixing, no matter how big or small, go to Jimmy at Fixing Time! He is also a very nice man! read more

Jimmy fixed my classic collectors clock for a great price and quickly! Many thanks to him!!! read more

Jimmy is super nice and makes you feel comfortable leaving your jewelry to be repaired. He explains everything to you very well and dos a great job. I will be back soon and would recommend this store to anyone looking for jewelry repairs. read more

My apologies for my last review. I thought that $50 was the price for replacing the battery. My mistake. I checked my credit card statement and I was charged was $15.00. Quite reasonable. Thank you. read more

Five-star reviews. Excellent service. Honesty. Friendliness. Competitive prices. All these qualities led us to Fixing Time for a ring resizing. Former customers had it right because that's what we encountered when we met owner Jimmy. He took time to examine the ring (measuring, testing, etc.) before he determined what size ring we needed and how he would resize it. He definitely quoted a more-than-fare price and promised the work would be done in 24 to 36 hours. read more

Went in to have a sentimental gold necklace fixed that had snapped and Jimmy was kind and thorough with examining the piece and estimating the repair cost. He had it fixed and ready for pickup the next day! It was my first time at a jeweler in the LA area and I was nervous about handing over a sentimental valuable piece, but Jimmy took such great care of it and even strengthened an additional weak spot on the chain for no additional cost. Highly recommend him and this location!! read more

Just walked out after getting 3 watches serviced. The owner, Jimmy, did what he could to SAVE ME MONEY. he fixed all my watches, polished them and I left spending far less than I thought I would. Honesty and integrity goes a long way in my book. I'll be coming back here for sure. read more

There is something very satisfying about repairing something versus just discarding it. The challenge is finding people that genuinely care about restoring items, no matter their value. Fixing Time is one of the rare places that welcomes any challenge with a smile and confidence that they will restore your precious item back to its original condition. They restored a relatively inexpensive, but distinctive oversized wall clock that was knocked off the wall by a recent earthquake along with two small desk clocks. Jimmy and his wife, Silva, welcomed the chance to restore it with a can do attitude and super reasonable price. They restore and maintain almost anything jewelry and time piece related. I cannot recommend Fixing Time enough. read more

I never leave yelp reviews but I'm so grateful to Jimmy that I had to share with the world. I went in to see whether he could resize my wedding band (after 3 kids, it barely fit). Since it was an eternity diamond band, it couldn't be resized but we decided to pick a new wedding band that complimented the emerald engagement ring. It took 2-3 visits where Jimmy went through different options with me based on my ideas (I wanted 5 diamonds--one for each member of my family--in a durable setting). Every visit he made me feel so special and cared so much about finding "the ring". Finally he pulled out a piece of paper and drew up a custom band that would lock in place with the emerald and I was thrilled! Because it was so unique, his fabricator had to make it completely by hand with crafting a wax mold. I'm absolutely in love, and every day I'm staring at my hand like a newlywed. I love that I've never seen anything like it, it has special sentimental value to me, and it also is very practical and keeps the emerald engagement ring from spinning on my finger. I'm sure I'll be back again some day for another incredible experience. read more

I like to support honest businesses like this one! Jimmy's prices are very fair, and I appreciate him looking out for the customer instead of his bottomline. I was able to get a quote with just a pic, and got the clock fixed quickly. It's difficult to find an honest business these days so I'm sticking wh Jimmy to fix my jewelry next. read more

Fixing Time - Got my clock with a reasonable price and time! Jimmy was great! - Watch Repair Near Me - Los Angeles, California

What an amazing place! I am not kidding! Jimmy was able to have my engagement ring with its18k gold band, made bigger! There is NO seam! You cannot tell whatsoever! He took great care in measuring my finger and explaining everything to me. He didn't candy-coat anything and is a straight shooter! I love that he was excited for me and was also able to get how serious it is to just leave something like your diamond ring with someone you don't know! It's not often I meet business owners who have a level of integrity equal to my own - Jimmy is just that, & a day later he called me right away, sent me updated pics of my ring via text so I felt secure about everything- and I felt SO secure that I was able to wait two-days before even picking it up!! Because I knew it was safe. Anyone who honors their parent's years of hard work, who puts their heart in first position, determined to uphold that same level of quality, integrity, trust and honesty in everything they do.....that is an artist. That's who I choose to leave my diamond engagement ring with... time and time again. From my heart to you Jimmy, THANK YOU‍‍ My ring fits perfect and is stunning again. Xo Katrina read more

Jimmy provided fast and efficient customer service at a fair price. He has a very pleasant personality, so pleasant that I was somewhat bowled over, given the negative state of the world these days. I highly recommend his shop! read more

Wonderful service!! Highly recommend for jewelry repair. Repaired 2 bracelets in no time.

So helpful for fixing all watches and clocks!Great service! They have been able to help with everything I have brought in. They even got an antique music box working again! read more

REVISED - I spoke to the owner in person, fortunately he was available. He explained in great detail his is a family owned company he took personal pride in. He said that he had been unaware of the difficulties I had been having. He expressed amazement that his employee had acted this way. He admitted they are generally not in close communication because the owner expects him to perform how he has in the past. He seemed sincere that this was a rare occurrence. So my five stars are for CUSTOMER SERVICE rather than my repair experience. He offered me a full refund. I remain disappointed that the repairman was unable to fix my problem and kept me waiting weeks and weeks. read more

I found the store by looking up the place that was closest to me and it ended up being great value and phenomenal service. I took two watches there to be resized and he did it in less than 20 minutes. Parking is easy here and free. It's worth noting he's a specialist in Rolex watches which I can't yet afford but as soon as I can, I guess I'll be seeing him a lot more. Look no further for jewelry and watch repair/service!! read more

I have two lovely round ceramic clocks that haven't worked for several decades. I was so happy to find Jimmy, who assessed them thoughtfully and with appreciation, and said he would look for the appropriate parts to make them functional. He did so, treating the clocks gently and carefully, especially in preparing them for me to take them home. I thought the cost was reasonable to have these treasures back in working order. It was a pleasure to work with Jimmy, and I'm happy to recommend him enthusiastically to anyone who needs clock or watch repair! read more

Jimmy's the best! He is honest, straightforward, and his work is excellent. I brought in a gold chain that I needed to be shortened and he told me exactly what he would need to do, what the risks were, how much it would cost, and how long it would take. I am very happy with the service and, most of all, with the friendliness and professionalism. I will be back. read more

I took in a watch to get repaired and it turned out a LOT more complicated than anticipated. Jimmy did everything to make the repair, and after a bit of time, he made it happen. He's honest, patient, thorough, and responsive...all of the qualities that are hard to find these days in businesses. Thank you, Jimmy! You've made a lifetime customer out of me. I'll make the hour drive any day to take care of my watches and jewelry. read more

The owner was incredibly kind and had me in and out in 10 minutes. He didn't try to upsell me on anything and offers guarantees on his work. Exceptional. I'll be back if I need work done on any of my watches. read more

Found this spot since it was close by but came in because of all the great reviews and I definitely have to concur! Jimmy was so communicative and friendly when I first asked for an estimate to get a necklace fixed and ended up getting a dainty bracelet chain fixed as well. He was able to fix my necklace the same day and had my bracelet fixed by the very next day! Adore his energy and how he explains how or why he needs to fix certain parts. Definitely will be going here and recommending this place to my friends if they ever need jewelry repair! Just such a great experience and such a fair price! read more

Jimmy is a total pro and a pleasure to deal with. I brought him a watch kit I was trying to make, but was having trouble with. He went through the whole thing step by step, found a flaw in their design, suggested what I should do, and then refused to charge me! He also fixed a couple of my other watches at very fair prices. It's a real joy to find a professional who's smart, talented, and honest. 5 stars! read more

SOOOOOO glad I found this place! I had a bunch of watches that needed batteries, a watch that was too big, and two pieces of jewelry that needed kinda tricky fixes. Jimmy did it all in about an hour! Such a nice personable guy as well. His prices are more than reasonable, and his work is amazing! I now have my go-to for future watch and jewelry repairs. Not that I like to have anything that needs to be fixed, but at least having someone great to fix it makes it more bearable. Thanks again Jimmy! read more

I had a stone fall out of my ring so I took it in to have it repaired. The owner, Jimmy, is very handsome. He listened to what happened with my ring, inspected it and reinforced it so the stone won't fall out again. He warned me not to bump the ring since when he inspected it, he found that the stone is cracked. My ring looks BEAUTIFUL, more beautiful than when I took it in. His price was very reasonable and the service was quick! Thanks SO much!!! Liz read more

incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. This gentleman really knows what he is doing and knows how to take care of customers. Highly recommended shop. read more

Amazing people here. They happily helped me with a ring sizing question and measurement. Reminds me of how nice people used to always be.

Simply put, Jimmy is THE BEST! I've taken my own watches for battery replacement (great prices!), my partner's watch for a battery/band replacement, my co-worker's watch for a battery as well as a bracelet that needed a new clasp, and now I'm about to take in an antique mantle clock that needs some TLC. I know that based on my past experiences here, that it will be handled with care, the work will be impeccable and Jimmy will not only do this for a very fair price, but he will give me honest feedback about what can and what SHOULD be done to save this clock. Beyond all the praise for the great work he does, Jimmy is FRIENDLY! He makes you feel welcome the moment you step into his shop. This, unfortunately, is something that's lacking with so much customer service these days. I used to go to another store nearby, but ALL of my watch/clock/jewelry needs will now be done at Fixing Time. I can't say enough good things about this store and I'm so glad I found it! read more

You're really missing out if you haven't come to Jimmy. I can't begin to describe how over and beyond he went in helping us repair our daughter's glasses. He treated the glasses like they were his own. read more

I highly recommend Fixing Time! I came here a few months ago to get new batteries on my watches, Jimmy was very nice and gave me a good deal, I felt comfortable enough to return with my engagement ring that was in need of some repair.

Next time you need your jewelry or watch repaired, trust that they are in good hands with Jimmy!! Thank you again! read more

Amazing service and an amazing owner! Showed lots of passion for watches, and restored my grandpa's 1987 Rolex Date-just. He did such an amazing job and showed that he really cared and was passionate about what he does. Will without a doubt take all my future watch needs here, and recommend my friends to do the same. I don't have a before picture but I'll tell you it did not look anything close to what it did after he got his hands on it! read more
