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!

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.

Don’t See Your Question? Ask Away!

Randy saved and fully restored my circa-1970s Howard Miller wall-hanging pendulum clock in lucite…read moreand brass, and I couldn't be happier with the result. From our very first conversation, Randy took the time to carefully explain all of my options for restoring the clock. I quickly realized I could completely trust him with a piece that means so much to me. His level of talent, craftsmanship, and expertise is incredibly rare, but what impressed me just as much was the person behind the work. Randy is empathetic, kind, patient, and completely honest. He genuinely cares about both his clients and the pieces entrusted to him. I will only use Randy for clock restoration and repair from now on, and I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for exceptional craftsmanship and expertise.

It was a gift to get my clocks repaired by Randy!!…read more I took a collection of random beloved clocks to Randy. Regardless of monetary value, he administered the same amount of care and service to each piece. He tactfully presented the prescribed repair needed and offered choices. He presented care options which went beyond the mechanical needs, and even addressed the aesthetic. His prices were reasonable. Randy's communication is excellent. It was a pleasure to interact and converse with him. This was an excellent experience, and I'm so grateful to see my pendulums swinging and hear my clocks ticking, dinging and gong-ing again!!
