We didn't time the gentleman but it was less than a blink of an eye, seriously. He could have made in on Guinness Book of Records. Bottom line, we enthusiastically happy, paid via Square and even had a parking spot out front. Guess the Sun, Moon and lucky stars were positively aligned today. Highly recommend .

I had two watches in need of a battery and brought them to Mr. Kim for maintenance. What I truly…read moreappreciate about Mr. Kim is his honesty and knowledge base. Immediately after looking at my watches he could tell one needed the stem repaired and he would make the adjustment to save me money. I was also pleased that he was able to do the repairs on the spot. In the past when I've gone to other repair shops I would have to leave my watch and come back in a few days. Love how speedy and efficient Mr. Kim is.

Like so many before me, I emphatically recommend this shop for basic watch services. They're super…read morehospitable, knowledgeable, and professional. They did a battery change on one watch and a "beads of rice" bracelet re-size on another in under 10 minutes, and at a fraction of the cost that many other shops have quoted.

Four-tunately, I was able to receive help again from the team at Oaks a fourth time…read more Considering my preferences, Adam thoughtfully proposed several approaches for resizing an antique ring, although from our prior collaborations, I know by now that whatever Adam thinks will work best, to simply yield to it and just let him work his magic: in this case, he deftly Ozempic-sized down an antique ring several sizes while preserving the ring's original shoulders and even the hallmarks inside the shank. But even more than the wonderful end result, it is--and always has been for me--the overall Oaks experience that is unmatched elsewhere. To do small things with great love is Oaks' way, and I hope their goodness will continue to inspire others, myself included, to also give our 110% in life.

Mr. Lee is the best!…read more He's worked for 31 years in Oakland. Can you believe it? He provides top quality service. He went above and beyond with my Rag & Bone Chelsea boots. He's the only person I will take my shoes to. Mr. Lee perfectly fixed the rip in the leather that I brought my boot in for, and he also repaired other things for free, without accepting any more money. He reinforced the soles and put in beautiful strong patches and padding into both boots. He even shined them. So much care. They were five years old and worn out. He made them wearable for years, again! He fixes so many things we need daily. Be kind to him, he's a kind person. How did I not find him until now? Also, my keys! Mr. Lee made a quick and perfect key for me. Cole Hardware made me two duds before this. He charged me half the price they did. I can't tell you how much he charged me for the shoes. It feels so underpriced for all of the work he did. He gives a small ticket (not a receipt) for every transaction. Come here - no question - to get your shoes fixed. Support this gem!

The cost was the last straw that just blew me away. I know plenty but not everything about gold & the market, so when I get overcharged I don't hesitate to say something. Chris is fair in pricing for his services & the work he does is awesome without a doubt! Of all the jewelry shops I've visited in the Bay Area for buying gold or strictly jewelry repair, Seelenbacher is hands down top tier in that category. If I ever move out of California, I'd take a flight back just to see Chris for repairs & I'm so being serious.

We saw the good reviews so we thought we had a chance to find something nice here, nope! We were enjoying our shopping during this holiday and the older gentlemen behind the counter was super rude to us. When we asked to see this one of his nice rings he sighed like it was such a hassle. He mumbled something so when I asked him to repeat what he said he looked me directly in the eye and yelled in my face "Are you done with this!?", which alarmed both of us. I get it, you had the Sunday NFL football games blasting away. Keep watching your football and don't mind us bothering you anymore buddy. This was the poorest customer service ever at the Alameda Southshore mall and we have lived here for over 20 years. Sad, and not recommended!

A yelp search resulted in this business. Over 20 years ago, when my boss retired from the labor force, he gave me a 14K gold bracelet, thanking me for being his secretary. Well, the link came off and I was trying to connect it to the bracelet, only to have it fall out of my hands onto the carpet. (Good luck in trying to find that link.) No worry. The Gold Spot Jewelers to the rescue. I stopped in this afternoon to take care of business (bizness). The elderly gentleman was indeed a tremendous help. He was skillful and a professional in jewelry repair. OG got it going on - mad skills and all. The "brutha" is awesome in my book. (Right on, my man) According to him, he has been at this location for about 15 years. Need jewelry repair? Drop on by The Gold Spot Jewelers. The owner will take care of ya with a smile.
