I have installed rear sights on my 34 without a pusher in the past. Took it into Del Valle's and the gentleman behind the counter got it squared away in a couple of minutes. I wasn't expecting to pay much but, definitely something. I was pleasantly surprised to not be charged anything. He also gave me his process for installing rear sights on Glocks so I shouldn't have the issue again. Top notch service, thank you very much.

My fiancé and I were researching jewelers in the Monterey area to downsize my engagement ring…read more Since bold jewelers is relatively close to our place, we decided to pop in and met Eduardo who seemed to be very straightforward and polite when we were inquiring about down sizing my gold band. The initial size of the ring was 7.02 and we wanted to get it downsized to 6.5 During our visit, he took the size of my ring and had me fill out some information so that he could contact me when the ring would be ready. Eduardo stated that since the drop off was Monday the 14th he would have it done no later than Wednesday the 16th, no pricing was stated by word of mouth or even written on the slip that my ring was placed into. Upon picking up my engagement ring, we said our thank you's and Eduardo said somewhat awkwardly "oh, who's going to pay for the service?" My fiancé and I looked confused so he followed up by saying he doesn't work for free. Very shoddy. Now I'm not one to make a fuss because I believe every vendors gotta make their money right, but usually the price of the gold is taken by the jeweler and calculated against what the labor was. We are very disappointed at the lack of communication when pricing for services, if we had known it would be $150 to downsize a simple gold band, we would have waited and taken my ring back to the original jewelers where we originally bought it. I think the salt in the wound is after taking a closer inspection of the ring, you can definitely tell where Eduardo took apart and soldered back together the ring as there are scuff marks along the bandyou would think for $150 I would get quality work, but this is just another Monterey shop trying to get money off of tourists.

Because I spoke to when I bought my second item from him. Did it go smoothly? No. I had to call back a couple of times and I didn't get returned phones calls. In the end though, I got the item I needed and I was able to fix my dishwasher. When you walk into this business it is like walking back into time. You don't see stores like this anymore. It's has motors and parts all over the store. If they don't have it, they can definitely get it for you. My fist order went as smooth as silk. Got my order in 1 day. My advice is be patient and appreciate this store. I have lived in the Monterey County area for over 30 years and there is not another store like this anywhere. I wish I would have found this place sooner.

I went in to buy a sewing machine and not really knowing what I wanted, there were a least 7 machines set up to look at and try. He explained all of them to me of what each one would do. I ended up buying Elena 580. When I purchased my machine he told me that I could come in for lessons on how to use my sewing machine. After, using my machine for a project I started another project but the thread started doing odd things. I phoned him and he walked me thru to troubleshoot the problem. Yesterday I went into learn different things the Elna 580 does, so excited to play with my machine this morning. I was so excited last evening that I could barely sleep. I had owned 2 singer sewing machine in the past and after they both needed repair which cost me over $100.00 they didn't work right. I just couldn't justify putting more money into something that wouldn't work properly. So, if you want someone knowledgeable and stands behind his sewing machines go see John Free. More than Sewing is the place to go! Thanks John. Phyllis
