All fixed! Necklace chain repaired by Jimmy
Leslie E.

I can't say enough good things about Jimmy at Fixing Time in Encino. I originally went to him for a simple watch battery replacement on my Concord watch, and that great experience brought me back this week when I needed a broken chain on a diamond necklace repaired. Jimmy fixed it quickly, did beautiful work, and charged a fair price. He's incredibly knowledgeable, honest, and truly personable--you immediately feel like you're in good hands. What really set him apart, though, was his customer service. There was a sketchy guy lingering outside when I was leaving after dark, and Jimmy insisted on walking me to my car to make sure I got in safely. That level of care is rare these days. If you need jewelry repair, do yourself a favor and go to Jimmy at Fixing Time. You won't be disappointed. Thank you, Jimmy!

Custom wedding band

I never leave yelp reviews but I'm so grateful to Jimmy that I had to share with the world. I went in to see whether he could resize my wedding band (after 3 kids, it barely fit). Since it was an eternity diamond band, it couldn't be resized but we decided to pick a new wedding band that complimented the emerald engagement ring. It took 2-3 visits where Jimmy went through different options with me based on my ideas (I wanted 5 diamonds--one for each member of my family--in a durable setting). Every visit he made me feel so special and cared so much about finding "the ring". Finally he pulled out a piece of paper and drew up a custom band that would lock in place with the emerald and I was thrilled! Because it was so unique, his fabricator had to make it completely by hand with crafting a wax mold. I'm absolutely in love, and every day I'm staring at my hand like a newlywed. I love that I've never seen anything like it, it has special sentimental value to me, and it also is very practical and keeps the emerald engagement ring from spinning on my finger. I'm sure I'll be back again some day for another incredible experience.

Got my clock with a reasonable price and time! Jimmy was great!

I like to support honest businesses like this one! Jimmy's prices are very fair, and I appreciate him looking out for the customer instead of his bottomline. I was able to get a quote with just a pic, and got the clock fixed quickly. It's difficult to find an honest business these days so I'm sticking wh Jimmy to fix my jewelry next.

See all

Amazing people here. They happily helped me with a ring sizing question and measurement. Reminds me of how nice people used to always be.

Great service. Great owner. Highly suggest this business for watch battery repairs. Much better value than going to the manufacturer.

Ask the Community - Fixing Time

I have a wall clock that I love which is no longer working and it's not the battery so it's the inner workings. Would you come out to Chatsworth? I'm 70 and can't lift the clock.

Hi Carol, unfortunately you’re out of our service area, as we are located in Encino. Try searching for clock repair within your respective zip code and you should be able to locate a shop that’s more local to you. Good luck!

I have 2 wall clocks with old fashioned battery set ups that no longer work. Can you replace the set ups so the clocks can be usable again?

Hi Leslie, Yes we can. Non-pendulum replacements can run anywhere from $45-$65 and the cost of those with pendulums will be a little more. Same day service, if we have the movement in stock, otherwise less than a week turnaround if the correct size… 

Does fixing time service grandfather clocks?

Hello Erin. For Grandfather clocks, we come out to you locally, to diagnose the clock and provide a free estimate on repairs, if needed.

Do you repair an earring post for fashion jewelry?

Hi, yes we do. Most repairs we can do on the spot, same day, or sometimes by the following business day, depending on the complexity of the item.

What is the cost for a battery change?

Our battery replacement price start from $10 and up, depending on the watch model, battery type, and whether pressure testing is required. We use Swiss made batteries and guarantee them to last at least one year, or they are replaced for free.

Love Sam's! Fast, friendly, professional, incredibly skilled…read more I brought in a vintage cluster ring from my grandmother that needed pretty significant resizing from an 8.5 down to a 5, and he did it beautifully without sacrificing any stones. When I went to pick it up, I brought in a watch for servicing and some more jewelry for Cleaning. All of which is completely reasonably priced. I'm really looking forward to having them make a custom piece for me with some loose stones I have. The entire staff is just such a pleasure. I get the impression that regardless of what you bring in, or what you need done- They treat it and you with the same care and respect as they would the Hope diamond. So happy to find a jeweler I can trust!

Sam is a nice man but make sure you do some pricing research in advance. The reviews here were so…read moreoverwhelmingly positive that I didn't look around and got a little bit overcharged I'd say. After dropping my simple gold wedding band off with the promise of a 1 hr turnaround at $125 to have it sized down (he tried to charge $150), I came back 90 minutes later and the ring had clearly not been touched yet. I shared that I'd spent the last 90 minutes researching online and at other shops in the jewelry market and had learned that this service should cost no more than $50. Some places charge as low as $20. I asked Sam politely what the reason was for the steep price difference. He talked about how much time and care went into sizing the ring, and how he used only the best materials so that the cut would be completely invisible. To demonstrate, he began showing me the process, which reinforced my suspicion that when I walked back into the store, he had not yet begun work on my ring. 10 minutes later Sam was done - the work was good, but the seam was indeed visible. After a conversation the price came down to $100. I'm happy, the work is no better or worse than any I have had done before. But be warned that he clearly upcharges for his charm (he's very sweet and complimentary) and generosity (he did a sonic clean on my engagement ring for free). If you want a deal this is not the place. But it's fine otherwise! Not gonna get scalped but not the most price sensitive option if you're in the jewelry district.
