You rarely come across "craftsmanship" these days. It's all slop, good enough, etc. But this man cares deeply about watches. The way he looked at my watch and how he ever so carefully examined it with this excitement of a 5 year old was quite touching to me. You can just tell he lives and breathes watches. Everyone should try to be more like this man. read more

We left pur antique mantle clock for repair in October. He said it would take 5 weeks and guaranteed that it would work. Five months later after many delays and promises. He had told us it would cost $200. He said the delays were caused by earthquakes! He finally called to say it was fixed but would cost us $250 because he had to buy a part. We brought it home and it doesn't work! Before it stopped working, we had it for 30 years. He asked if we knew how to work it...we do. Although he guaranteed his work for a year, we don't want to let him work on it again. Ours is a German clock, which mat be harder work on than others mentioned in reviews. I just want to give you a heads up... read more

Three art clocks that hadn't worked for years were repaired beautifully and are up and running once again.

Dublin Clock Shop has been our go to place for over 4 decades. Ray has fixed everything and anything I've thrown at him. A family heirloom mantle clock, over a century old, in which he explained its conception and path, with the rise and fall of well known clock companies in detailed fashion. He has also been to our home to fix and clean our grandfather clock. Ray has handled every clock with deliberate attention to detail, knowledge and experience on a timely basis. His prices are always extremely reasonable. To go to his shop is like stepping back in TIME! (Couldn't resist) Thanks Ray for the 42 years, and counting, of great service. A forever customer! Fondly, Shirley Kepke read more

Ray is awesome so helpful and very thorough! Went beyond expectations! We were a house call for a grandfather clock! Can't say enough about our appreciation. Great work ethics too! read more

Ray was very nice and knowledgable about his work. But, some of my clock pieces were broken from pickup to return that he would not claim to be his doing. Easy mistakes but sad to have that response or offering of correction. I would say to watch carefully of your item and know it well. I was not there during pick up so I didn't see what happened, only the evidence. read more

I had 2 clocks that coincidentally stopped working during the start of the pandemic/shelter in place...(creeepy!). Almost telling of things to come as if "time just stopped" like the whole country...*sigh* Unfortunately, it wasn't as simple as a new battery but both mechanisms that includes a pendulum of my 32" clock just completely stopped working! Hmmm...odd as they are both independent of one another (again creepy!) along with the mechanism of another (but cheaper) clock. Whhhaaaaa?!! I know who uses clocks anymore?!! But to me, these are more wall art ...and if they are functional wall art might as well have them working...it finally took me 7 months and being a little superstitious made sure to get them fixed! Hey, It's not good to have broken things in the house...bad feng shui! Found Dublin Clock Shop via Yelp and Ray, the owner was so helpful, friendly and just good ole customer service. For the price of repair, sure I could've replaced them but why? These were perfectly fine, functional with the larger 32" clock being semi-sentimental and timeless. THANKS SO MUCH Ray for getting these fixed sooner than estimated! *** Support small business! *** NOTE: Located in the same shopping area as Mirchi Cafe, hydroponic supply store and vacuum repair shop read more

See all

Ray replaced a watch battery for my fine watch. His pricing was excellent and he is friendly. It's wonderful to support our local, small businesses, especially when the transaction experience is seamless. I will return. read more

Very knowledgeable very fair price I highly recommend. The owner is very honest when telling you how long it will take.

thanks Ray for providing amazing patience and service for my mantle clock! you took that extra step to test out the batteries. and thank you for your kind and down to earth manor. and you did it all there on the spot! read more

Ray helped me with my 40 yr old Miller grandfather clock. He was persistent to find the problem. He had to tear down the whole clock to find the problem. He is now my only clock repairman. He is meticulous with fixing the clock and charged a fair price. I highly recommend that you try him once, and you will see what I mean! read more

Just picked up my Hamburg American Wall Clock that the wife bought at The Thrift Shop for $25. Ray took a non running clock and got it working really well again. Ray takes pride in his work and I really appreciate the time he spent over the last couple months fixing and tweaking it. Point is - give Ray the time to treat your treasure right and he will deliver exceptional work on it. Seriously, in this rat race disposable world, a person like Ray with this kind of skill and passion for his craft is rare. read more

Ray is very knowledgeable, prompt, repaired our grandfather clock with a house call!! Has been in business over 30 years.

If you are looking for a clock repair shop for any type clock or watch to repair I highly recommend Dublin Clock Shop!

He also repaired a cuckoo clock for us in the past and we again found his prices and work to be over and above what we could have ever hoped for! If you're looking for a "reputable" clock repair shop look no further! The owner is very professional, personable and willing to go the extra step with amazingly affordable prices! read more

I bought a Howard Miller grandfather clock at a consignment store. No one at the store knew how the clock mechanism worked. I looked up YouTube but couldn't follow the video. Fortunately Ray makes house calls. He came to the house at exactly when he said he would. He went to work right away. It was a real joy to watch a true professional at work. Now my clock is humming along beautifully. Thank you, Ray. read more

Ray was very helpful and fixed 4 of my husbands watches. Decent pricing and quick. Highly recommend, Thank you !

Good service and very knowledgeable about clocks. The only downside is the limited hours they are open.

I strongly support small businesses. The Dublin clock shop is the type of business that America was built on. A one-man show. The proprietor is dedicated and a real craftsman. Through the years I have taken in my grandmother's watch, which was made in the early 1900s for repair and cleaning, numerous watches for battery replacement and an Anniversary Clock. I have always been happy with the service I have received. If you have any clock or watch repair needs I recommend taking them to the dublin clock shop. read more

Found my place for any future watch/clock needs. I dont have a grandfather clock currently but if i had one and there's an issue, i would give DCS a call.. they've been in this specialty business for the past 3+ decades, i have much respect for anyone with such dedication to their craft! So i walked in their clock shop yesterday to get my baby g watch battery replaced, Ray was courteous and quoted me a fair price with same day pickup. No brainer, i went home and 2 hours later got a call from Ray telling me my watch was ready for pick up. Everything went A-Ok.. Very pleasant and positive experience, pricing was very reasonable and delivery time as promised. I wont be looking anywhere else! Cash only and ample parking available at plaza... read more

Took this clock in November 2018 Fir repairs. Get it running and solder on the bezel ring with glass that broke off . I went in every 3 months to check on progress. Always an excuse on why it wasn't done . I went in to day clock not done but got any excuse. Obviously not a priority job . So I wanted the clock back but he lost the Bezel ring with glass . Bottom line IF YA CANT FIX IT , SAY SO . Don't keep giving excuses. Use his service at your own frustration. read more

Great service! Very reasonable cost! I suggest you call to make an appointment before going in:)

My ex and I purchased a Ridgeway grandfather clock from Ray in 1989. It's been serviced a couple of times and recently moved to my new home a few cities away. Ray does meticulous work at a very reasonable price. There are so few clock repairmen left! He has worked on a number of clocks for us and on antique watches as well. He's the best. read more

We need more clock craftspeople like these folks. Old fashioned business......almost like Europe. They are the Q and A about clocks.

Very good reliable service. They fixed my mom's old clock for reasonable price and did it in the time frame quoted.

The owner is honest. However, due to covid, you have to wait outside. Cash only. Will use the service again. read more

Paid $150.00 for a tuneup on a wall clock and it stopped working within 2 months. I went back in, and now he wants to charge another $150.00 for a spring! I feel it should have worked for longer than 2 months, and if it didn't he should offer something reasonable and meet me half way or something. He is extremely rude, everytime we have spoken to him. I wish we would of used the nice man at the Livermore clock shop the first time instead. Don't waste your time with him or his business unless you want to deal with a grumpy old man that is angry all the time and doesn't stand behind his work! read more

Highly recommend, they fixed our watch and upheld all of their promises. Would absolutely go here again.

The owner came out to service our grandfather clock . He was efficient and knew what he was doing and very reasonable price. He also came out on a Saturday without extra charge. I highly recommend them! Lydia V read more

I brought in a modestly priced 'Regulator' wall clock .... given to us as a gift to us by our very young daughter about 25 years ago from the earnings from her first job; sentimental ! I asked that the clock be repaired or have replaced the battery-operated mechanism so it would again operate properly. Ray indicated in might take up to two weeks as the parts needed may need to be ordered from out-of-state. I was surprised when Ray called the very next day to inform me that he was able to repair the clock quickly. I visited his Shop that afternoon and picked up the clock ... it's now back on the wall & working properly. Happy wife .....Happy life ! Thanks, Ray ! Outstanding job .... exceeded our expectations read more

Professional and courteous. He assessed the problem with my wristwatch, testing it quickly. He gave me a estimate for the repair and delivered the watch earlier than expected. I would go to the Dublin Clock Shop again in the future. read more

Some places still make house calls and work weekends! Thank you Ray for the Saturday morning Grandfather Clock tune-up. On time, efficient, repaired, and gave good advice to keep it going strong. read more

Went in for a size fitting and a batter replacement on two watches and I was happy with the service and cost.

Had to have two of my watch batteries replaced. Service was great and he even resealed the areas to prevent water damage at no cost. Lots of cool clocks ticking everywhere. Thanks! read more

Super fast service and reasonable pricing. Rey is a good guy and does not try to rip you off. Some places I called quoted three times his rate. If your looking for someone skilled and not going to rip ur head off come here. read more

Purchased my Oris watch brand new 2 years ago and it was slow from Day One. Returned it after 2 weeks and it was still slow as in 5 minutes a week. Brought it to Dublin Clock and they finally fixed the problem at a very reasonable price. Did I mention they also service Rolex watches...at a fraction of the price you'd pay at any Rolex Service Center? Thanks Ray! read more

I don't think a more experienced or knowledgeable or passionate person exists in the area when it comes to clocks. Ray is an expert who cares about his work and his customers. I just bought a grandfather clock from him after seeing it in his shop while I was there for a watch battery. He made me a very fair offer including delivery and set up in my business office in Danville. Be confident Ray and his clock business is the best around ! read more

Fast service and very affordable. I will back to have my batteries replaced with my other watches. Thank you so much!

Moved out of the area. Dublin Clock moved my beloved clock. They came by my old house a week before moving day; took the clock to their shop and delivered it to my new house fully tuned up and suggested the perfect placement in my new home. read more

I have had my mom's grandfather clock since she passed. It hadn't worked for some time before she passed and I really loved it since we gave it to her and my dad 30+ years ago. I couldn't find a repair shop near me in Fremont. I happened to see the shop while I was in Dublin so I stopped and asked if he ever came to Fremont to do repairs. That Saturday he came and got it working in no time. That was about 2 months ago and my heart is so happy every time it chimes. He is what I would call a "clock whisperer". He treated the clock with reverence and I loved watching him work on it. Thank you Ray. read more
