No pretension, excellent service!
A few days ago while travelling to Whistler a screw fell out of my fave cheap sunglasses: today I had the time to seek repair.
I stopped at Granville Optical to get this quick. simple repair done. Though there wasn't a single client in this large upscale shop the service lady there was rude and refused to assist, wouldn't even lend me a screw driver, but offered to sell me one for 10$. (I have one, at home, in Montreal.) Yuk. I proceeded upon my merry way.
As it turned out, I was heading by bus to Marpole, at the southern end of Granville, and got off right in front of this small optical shop!
In the rear a man was grinding glasses. The woman upfront got up from her desk to greet me and was polite and efficient.
I put my cherished dismembered shades on the counter and when I couldn't find the tiny screw, she pulled out her collection and quickly repaired the glasses. Cost: nada! Nothing!
Total happy appreciation for the race restored. read more
