Abner's in Good Hands -- Champ's Clocks is a Treasure…read more Some businesses are more than just a service -- they're a tradition. Champ's Clocks is exactly that. I first met Nick in 2021 when my grandfather clock stopped working. When the same clock needed attention again recently, reaching out to Champ's Clocks was an easy call. Nick worked me into the schedule without hesitation, and what followed reminded me why small businesses like this one are so special. Nick's father joined him on the second visit, and the experience became something far more meaningful than a simple repair. He shared the rich history of the business -- how the craft was passed down from his own father, and how they've been serving their community with this rare and deeply respected knowledge for quite some time. Listening to him explain the parts and the mechanics of a clock that has been in my family since 1984 was genuinely fascinating. I also had the privilege of experiencing their annual event, held the day before we spring forward, where the chimes ring out in celebration. It was a wonderful moment that perfectly captured how Champ's Clocks has become a true staple of their local community -- a business that genuinely appreciates the people it serves. During the event, we also had the chance to browse their inventory -- which was incredible -- and found the perfect clock for an upcoming milestone birthday. It was a reminder that Champ's Clocks isn't just a repair shop; it's a destination. Most recently, the pendulum became detached. I sent a photo of the part, and Nick not only had it on hand but came out the very next day. I had a scheduling conflict and couldn't be there -- no problem. They came in, completed the repair, sent a photo of the finished work, left the invoice, and had the clock set to the correct time before they left. That kind of trust and professionalism is rare. What also speaks to their integrity is that they could have easily recommended a full rebuild -- but instead they focused on preserving what I have, replacing only the parts that made sense to do together rather than attempting a repair that wouldn't serve me long term. They have always been mindful of cost and genuinely have my best interest at heart. That kind of honesty is everything when you're entrusting someone with something irreplaceable. Our grandfather clock -- named Abner, after my great-grandfather -- is the heartbeat of our home. Its rhythm, its chime, its presence through life's most meaningful moments makes it irreplaceable. Knowing it's in the hands of Nick and his father gives me tremendous peace of mind. In a world increasingly defined by technology and disposability, Champ's Clocks is a reminder that some things are worth preserving -- and that the people who dedicate their lives to that preservation deserve our deepest appreciation. Thank you, Nick, and thank you to your father and the entire Champion family.

We happened to be there at the top of the hour when all of the chimes went off...GOOSEBUMPS! We took [pictures and have been showing them to everyone who will look at them. If they do not have the clock for you, then you don't need a clock. We left our clock for repair and we were told up front that it may be several months before they could complete the work. We were OK with that. Thanks Andy and Chevy for a great experience.

I found furniture, artwork (original and prints), collectibles, jewelry, clothing, lighting, seasonal decor and so much more. I wandered through the entire store twice and saw different pieces each time. I took a number of photos to help show the variety of merchandise. In terms of service, I asked for help measuring a piece and found a friendly face right away. This store is clean and vibrant, but also unpretentious. I realize everyone's budget is different and value is quite subjective. However, I didn't have sticker shock while perusing and I looked at a good number of treasures. Happy shopping, neighbors!

I have an english grandfather clock from about the mid 1800s that needed to have a full service done on it to get it up and running again. The owner of this shop was quick to get out and take my money. I thought he was coming out to clean and service my clock. He got here and didn't clean it at all, applied some oil attached the pendulum and weights and got it to run....for 3 days And proceeded to charge me $275. My husband was the one home when he got here. He said he was there for all of 15 mins and left. The clock guy didn't have much of any toola on him, didn't recall our conversation where i told him i needed a key to wind the clock and also a small screw to secure the front door to the mechanism. He did have a winding key but didn't even have a screwdriver or tiny screw to make that small repair. What kind of clock repairman makes house calls and doesn't have those things? He didn't seem very knowledgeable about clocks when asked basic questions and should have been clear that his house call wouldn't be what I was actually looking for. Instead he got there, took our money and proceeded to tell us it would be close to $1000 to clean the clock and bring it to his shop where he would keep it for several weeks. Absolutely OUTRAGEOUS! Save your money and hire Champs Clock Shop in Douglasville. It may be far away but they are very knowledgeable about clock repair, extremely thorough, and very reasonably priced. We could have had our clock cleaned, serviced, repaired and brought back to us 90 minutes away for almost the same price the Clock Shop charged to drive 30 mins and come out for 15 mins and not fix anything. Absolute rip off and not the friendliest to deal with.
