Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. The young man working in the store seemed about as disinterested in helping us as possible--more focused on playing his video games than assisting customers as we browsed. Overall, it wasn't what I had hoped for. That said, based on all the positive reviews, I'd probably give it one more try during the week when I believe the owner is there. But I can say for sure--I won't be stopping in again on a Sunday.

As a woman who worked as a sound engineer in a male-dominated field, I was pleased to support her business with my business. She came to my home, gave my grandmother's hand-made mantle clock a once-over, provided a quote, took the old time piece to her shop and did the work. Tanja knows her stuff. When she brought the working clock back a few days ago, I cried to hear it tick and ring again since that sound was an integral part of the happiest days of my childhood.

Needless to say, I was concerned about finding as knowledgeable and trustworthy a resource as it appears that a storefront provider of this service is impossible to locate. I conducted a Duck Duck Go search and I located Metro Clock Repair. The comments about the services provided by Tanja were consistent and true. She came by my home and provided long overdue timely maintenance to my treasured clock as well and took a smaller non-working clock back to her shop so that she could locate and install replacement mechanics. In my discussions with her I could see that she is dedicated to providing the special attention timepieces require. We shared a love for classical timepieces. The quality of service far exceeded the cost. I am so happy to have her as a resource for my timepieces. We need to patronize and publicize the services provided by Metro Clock Repair, so they too are available for when we and others need them. Thanks so much, Tanja!

The following review is my opinion of my experience in taking my grandmother's clock there to get the 8 day key winding mechanism repaired, which had stopped running. The clock had recently been hanging on my wall for several years, where it was regularly looked at and admired by both myself and my family members who remembered it hanging in my grandmother's home for over 50 years. The clock was taken to Kathy's Kove where it was looked over by Kathy and I was quoted a price of $125 for the repair. I was told that the clock would be given to another individual who does the actual repair work. I agreed, and the clock was left with Kathy. Several days later, I received a call saying that if I wanted the original mechanism repaired, it would now cost several hundreds of dollars, but that they could remove the mechanism and replace it with a quartz (battery) mechanism. I was not happy about this turn of events, but the clock has sentimental value to me, and I would like to keep it running so I agreed to have it switched over to a battery mechanism. A couple of weeks after that, I received a call that my clock was ready to be picked up. When I went to the shop, my clock was laid out on a table. The first thing I noticed was that a sizable piece of decorative molding circling the clock face was now missing. I immediately brought this to Kathy's attention, and she brushed off my concern by saying something to the effect, "Oh, it was probably like that when you brought it in, and you probably just didn't notice." OH, REALLY??? I had this clock hanging on my wall for several years, and looked at it all the time. I THINK I WOULD HAVE NOTICED A LARGE PIECE OF MISSING MOLDING BY NOW!!! I noticed that a photocopied picture had been taken of the damaged area, and stapled to the receipt I was handed when I picked up the clock. This photo was taken at some point AFTER I left the clock in their care. No photos were taken of the clock when I dropped it off, because there was no damage to note at that time! Of course, there is nothing I can do now except live with the damage, as these kinds of situations are their word against yours. They of course just claim the clock was damaged when it was entrusted to them, but I know it was not. And that is where things will unfortunately have to be left. But I can inform and warn others of my experience, and advise that if you have a clock that needs repair, especially if it is a treasured family piece that you have a sentimental attachment to, that you seek out another place to get it repaired. If you entrust a clock here, you do so at your own peril. I of course will not patronize these people again.

He then followed up the next day to see how the clock was ticking! I couldn't be happier with his service. On top of that, he's a darn nice guy. This man knows clocks. This man loves clocks.

The screw on the bottom was stuck and I needed him to release it. I also brought him the new wicks and lighter fluid so he could get it started. Two days later, he called me and told me I can come pick up my father's lighter.... 95.00!!!!! I would have left it there except it's the only thing my father left me. ... When I went to pick up the lighter, he would only take cash and, he did not give me a receipt. I went home approximately 2-blocks away, and the lighter was not working. The next day I went back in there and he told me I should not have tried to light it. That I was not educated enough to light the lighter. He was so condescending ---- I have never met anyone so cantankerous in my life. I told him I was going to sue him. His wife quickly gave me $95 back. Please do not go there!!!!!
