This was actually done a couple of years ago. I have been too angry and hurt to do anything about…read moreit until now. We contacted Abraham's because we thought it had been an established business in the area and had good feedback. So wrong!!! An elderly man and his son showed up to pick up our clock. They carried it out to their van -- nothing any more professional than we could have done, but they charged us for the pickup. I had spent some time explaining that I thought I had over-wound the clock and wanted it repaired to working order. The old man quoted $300 for pickup and extra for repair. A few weeks later they called and said we could pick it up! We carried it out to our SUV, not any differently than in their van. He wouldn't give us the clock back until we paid another few hundred dollars. The "repairs" consisted of them totally destroying my clock! This had been a gift from my son and was important to me. They cut a hole in the back and replaced the original clock works with a battery operated clock face! This did not "repair" my precious clock! It's just another battery operated clock now, The pendulum no longer works and the sound of the chime is totally mechanized. To top it off, he also refused to return the key to the clock! Said he had so many that he didn't know where it was. I cried all the way home. It breaks my heart every time I look at it or hear it "chime". I have another grandfather clock that had belonged to my dad, but I definitely WILL NOT call Abraham's again.

Don Brown has worked on several of our clocks with some success. However, when he tried to fix our…read moreBlack Forest cuckoo clock he completely failed. After three tries, and over $500, our clock still does not run. Three times he told us the clock was repaired, and when we put it on the wall, it would not play music, signal the hour or even run to keep time. We sent Mr. Brown a letter asking if he wanted to try to fix the clock one more time, and he never answered our letter even though he could have by phone, mail, text, or email. My advice is to deal with him carefully and be sure he knows how to fix the clock you are concerned with. Perhaps you should check the work before you pay him. Our $500 dollars was quite simply wasted. Obviously we should have checked before sending a check.

Another thing,…read morehe's very thorough in his explanation as to the issue(s) your clock is having, the cost to fix and the subsequent maintenance and care that the clock owner can do do prevent or forestall future repair requirements. We unfortunately, tried another clock "specialist" (in Riverview, MI.) in the past year and it was quickly apparent that his repair skills were questionable... three times he was out to our house and still our clock didn't chime or keep time correctly and our monies were wasted. So, here's the bottom line... SAVE MONEY, GET YOUR CLOCK REPAIRED BY A MAN WHO KNOWS HIS TRADE, FREELY ANSWERS QUESTIONS... and who is basically... a caring, great guy! Our clock, after ten years of not working, now runs like a precision time-piece like it did 33 years ago when we purchased it. Gerald and Fil Dz

However we parked at the mall across the street on this trip and this was right across the street. My husband really wants a grandfather clock and he was very excited to check out the selection. Prices seemed kind of high to me but to be fair I don't know anything about grandfather clocks, lol. They also have a nice selection of Frankenmuth magnets, they ranged from like $4 to $10. I ended up buying one of the $4 ones. The reason I'm bumping up this review to five stars is because I lost my Fitbit there (Fitbit Zip, an old one that sits on my waist, not my watch) and when my husband and I got to Kern's and realized it, we rushed back to the store to check there first (it was 530pm). The (owner? Employee?) welcomed us back, and another customer immediately pointed to it on the floor. Saved us a lot of hassle and had they closed immediately at 530pm, the doors may have been locked. Looking forward to checking this store out again the next time we are in town.
