This business is truly a treasure in the East Bay. Highly-skilled, reasonably-priced, honest and mobile clock technicians are a rare breed. My parent's grandfather clock had years of neglect and then moved halfway across the country. Now it's up and running. The heartbeat of my house. Happy and grateful customer. read more

The hour hand on my wall clock fell to the bottom of the clock. The gentleman I spoke to told me how to fix it and, if that didn't work, gave me the name of another business to contact. He then suggested I look at a U-tube video which would show me how easy it was to fix. I did what the gentleman suggested and now the clock WORKS!! Now that's what I call excellent customer service (and human being). Thank you so much Canyon Mobile for making my day! read more

Great cell phone repair shop very honest. Love going here and the price is just right.

I got a lot of great information from this place. They are a mobile location so they drive around and go to you, which works great if you have a giant grandfather clock. read more

He is truly amazing. He worked on our grandfather clock and is very knowledgeable and very reasonably priced to take care of our cherished clock. read more

We have relied on Jonathan to service our old clocks for many years now, and he always keeps them running smoothly! We have a couple of clocks that have been handed down through generations of family, and we appreciate his knowledge, expertise and care. He picks up the clocks and delivers them when the work is completed, which is very much appreciated. He is a true craftsman, and it's reassuring to know that he cares for temperamental timepieces as much as we do. I highly recommend his services! read more

I have known Jonathan literally since the day I was born. Not kidding. He has also taken good care of an old French mantle clock of mine.

Pleasant, patient and skillful. Honest and forthright.An excellent grandfather clock technician.

I found this business/gentleman through yelp to see if he was capable of fixing my clock and it first it seemed like he was knowledgeable in what he was doing. He had the clock for over three months and when he returned at the clock it literally worked for about 10 hours before it started stopping. He says his work is guaranteed for a year but when I called about the issue, he came over only once and fiddled around with the clock for approximately 5-10 minutes and said call him if that doesn't fix it. Well of course what ever he did to "fix" the clock did not solve the problem and now the chimes are not even working. I just think this was way above his current ability to repair this clock. It's unfortunate. He just didn't say that upfront and trying instead tried to act like he was all knowledgeable ..too bad. Would not recommend, does not stand behind his work/words .. I've called him three times now about the clock stopping and the chimes not working and he's never returned my calls. Time to move on I believe...you have been warned! read more

Jonathan provides a marvelous service. Really knows antique clocks. I had a particularly difficult problem--missing teeth in the gear controlling the chimes. As a bonus, most of his work is done on your premises. That might not sound important, but with antique clocks, getting them running well each time they are transported can be a bit of an ordeal. Can't say enough good things about him. read more

I found this place after doing Yelp searches and am glad I went with him after seeing the many 5 star reviews here. Jonathan repaired and did maintenance on my two clocks, a Pearl Grandfather Clock, the other is a hanging Schoolhouse Clock. They are both now running in tip top shape. An added bonus is, I could not find my key to wind the grandfather clock, but Jonathan had one in his car. Awesome job, Jonathan. I highly recommend him if you need any type of mechanical clock maintenance. read more

See all

I called and they were able to diagnose and fix the problem over the phone! I know nothing about the mantel clock that we've had for years (and it shows, haha) -- but they were extremely patient and walked me through a quick fix to suppress the chime, and some tips for resetting the clock. Now I have a clock that tells the right time and doesn't make noise! So dear millennials (from a fellow millennial), pick up the phone and call on this one. YouTube videos won't cut it; you need to talk to a real person. read more

Jonathan did a fantastic job of fixing my antique carriage clock. He is super kind, knowledgable, and cares a lot about getting it right and making sure you know exactly how to best care for your clock going forward. I'm so happy to have my clock working again after all these years and only wish I'd called him sooner! read more

Jonathan is great. I love that he came to my place to look at my clocks--I have eight key-wind clocks. One of them, he was able to fix while he was there. The other clock he did have to take with him, but brought it back well and happy. No, it's is not inexpensive. But that type of work is a dying art and if you love your antique clocks, as I do, it's worth it. My clocks have been running perfectly ever since. Thank you, Jonathan. read more

AMAZING customer service! I called to ask if Jonathan repaired cuckoo clocks. We started chatting about what I needed help with to repair a broken heirloom. He helped me fix the issue OVER THE PHONE! I am very grateful and thankful that I took the time to make the call. Should have done it sooner! Thank you, Jonathan!!! read more

Jonathan is wonderful . We have had our grandfather clock in our family for over 150 years and it needed some attention : It was not winding the weights up properly and the moonphase was not working . Also the chimes were not working correctly . He came out and personally disassembled our clock and a few weeks later reassembled it . Everything now works perfectly including the moonphase . He guarantees his work for a year , too . Thanks Jonathan ! Sincerely , John Sebastian Oakland read more

Jonathan fixed the issue with my clock easily and quickly. His service came at a very reasonable price considering that he had to travel to reach me. He had told me the clock might need an overhaul, and I would have of course have believe that if he had said it needed that, but he assured me it did not. I really appreciated his integrity and desire to save me money! He even adjusted the time, which is been off for 10 years and was charming and gracious into the bargain. Excellent service! read more

We have a Seth Thomas mantle clock my mother bought my father for their first Christmas. 65 years later it needed help. I tried a place in San Leandro with a grumpy clockmaker who kept it for four months and didn't really fix it. Found Jonathan on Yelp. He came to the house. Saw he had to take the clock to fix it. Gave an estimate (which was also the final cost). Brought it back as promised. He is friendly, knowledgeable, and competent. Though the clock probably cost more to fix than to buy a new one, it is (as Jonathan said) "an old friend." Highly recommended. read more

When my dad's clock stopped I called Jonathan. He came to our house and carefully removed everything and took it back to his shop. Just a short time later we are ticking perfectly again. Thanks Jonathan......we really appreciate you. read more

Canyon Mobile Clock Services - Dad is ticking happily again, thank you Jonathan. Everything in the house is better now. :) - Clock Repair Near Me - Canyon, California

We have a very old grandfather clock that has been in my husband's family for many years. It was shipped from the east coast several years ago in need of some challenging repairs. We took it to a clock "repair" shop in Livermore that turned into a miserable experience (he kept the clock for 2 years, basically did poor quality work and charged us $800 and it never worked properly). Jonathan was able to take the clock to his shop, kept it for 2 months to do an overhaul and it is now working beautifully. Thank you Jonathan. You worked within the agreed upon time frame and shared your knowledge with a smile. Many, many thanks! Kathy and Charlie W. read more

I called this service to see if my two clocks could be fixed: 1) A Mickey Mouse clock I purchased at Disneyland 27 years ago and stopped working; 2) a Seth Thomas Helmsman Clock that was given to me when I graduated from Georgetown University. I called twice and left a message once. The owner did not have the common decency to call back. Found a local clock shop in Walnut Creek that can repair the MM clock for $50.00. I found the part I needed for the Seth Thomas clock on EBay. I would NOT waste my time or money with this establishment; suck eggs. No money today read more

I inherited a grandfather clock from my grandparents which was shipped to me with all of the insides taken out and in a box. I knew that the clock had been in my family since the 20's and was excited about the prospect of having it in my own home ringing on the hour like in my grandparents' house for as long as i can remember. However, I opened the box and realized quickly that I probably shouldn't touch anything and that i needed help putting the pieces back together again by a professional. After scouring yelp for clock repair shops and making a few calls I stumbled upon Jonathan who was willing to drive out to my house and help me. After taking a look at all of the pieces and realizing that my grandfather was a "mr. fix-it" he recommended that I have some work done on the clock so that it would run properly and sound the way it should (it sounded pretty sickly...). So the initial visit was free and a week or so later (after a bit of phone tag) he drove out again and put my lovely clock back together again. Jonathan showed me how the clock worked and gave me some tips to make sure the clock will stay running for many years to come. The clock sounds great, and though I hope that i won't need his services again in a long time, I would highly recommend him to others. read more

I was looking for someone to come fix a clock on a very heavy piece of jade. Jonathan came and examined it, removed the clockworks and returned them in less than two weeks completely repaired. He is very knowledgable and skilled. read more

I am writing a public thank you note to Canyon Clockworks/Jonathan Goodwin. Jonathan - you went above and beyond the call of duty in dealing with our grandfather clock from hell! Your expertise, persistence, and diligence brought our clock back to being a beautiful, chiming, well behaved grandfather clock. It was sheer magic! I would absolutely recommend your talents to anyone who has a non-working or problem clock. Your prices are very reasonable, and your delightful personality only adds to the experience. Thank you again Jonathan, and we will be seeing you in the near future. read more

Jonathan knows antique clocks, communicates well, shows up on time, and bottom line, was able to fix two of our antique wall clocks so they are keeping time again. He brings all the tools he needs in a small wooden box! Very few people around who are knowledgeable about antique clocks and will come to your house to repair them. I'm keeping his card! Thank you, Jonathan. read more

Thank you Jonathan for restoring my Dad's old Seth Thomas regulator. Well done! Thank you for your patience and consideration during my move to Rossmoor. read more

Jonathan was great! Very good over the phone with details very reasonable in price. I used him to take care of a grandfather clock that was professionally moved but not setup. He came out to Union City and took care of it no problem! customer service gets a A+ from me! Thank you Jonathan! read more

Jonathon did a wonderful job with my 300 year old English tall case clock. He arrived promptly for the pickup and delivery appointments and his price was fair and consistent with his estimate. Highly recommended! read more

My grandfather clock suffered some damage in the course of a move (inflicted by the owner, not the movers). Jonathan came to my house, assessed the damage, took it away and repaired it as promised, on time, and under budget; and also provided numerous care tips and preventative maintenance. A great guy and knows his stuff. Highly recommended. read more

We have a 120 year old Grandfather clock that needed attention, as it would stop ticking for an unknown reason without any pattern. We knew NOT to contact Danville Clock from all of the poor reviews. We contacted Tick Tock in Walnut Creek, based on the yelp reviews, and a young man came to our home and basically told us that our clock needed a complete rebuild and that he had never seen such a complicated clock before. (Our clock was rebuilt 6 years ago and the workings still look brand new). Hmmm... Not a good response. We then contacted Canyon Mobile Clock Services (next on the yelp review list), and Jonathan came to our home with a small cigar box of tiny old tools. He studied our old clock, and tinkered here and there, and lubricated here and there, and after a couple of hours, he said, "Fixed. Call me if the problem recurs." That was 7 months ago, and our old Grandfather clock has not missed or skipped a beat! read more

Jonathan is a highly talented and skilled craftsman. He has repaired a wide variety of clocks I have collected -- some in pretty bad condition. But Jonathan has been able to bring them all back from the dead. Unlike many clock repairmen Jonathan can fabricate new parts when needed and I have many working clocks thanks to his wizardry. I give him my highest recommendation to anyone who needs a clock repaired. He's aso a very engaging person and a pleasure to deal with. read more
