This dates to the late 1960's or early 1970's. We ran into Tick-Tock at the Oregon (city) Market, which is held at the High School. I ran home, packed up my clock and brought it to them. Then came the call - it would be until July before he could get to it, but knew what was wrong - the bearings were all worn out. The guy who does the work was trained by the experts years ago to work on clocks like this, so we waited the 4 months for the call. We finally got it, and picked up the clock. Some tips: If you are going to ship your clock, use plastic bags from grocery stores to immobilize the mechanism / chains. This doesn't leave any residue behind (like the foam I used, which had to be cleaned off). Bring everything - the owner ran our clock for 2 weeks after he repaired it to make sure it would work when we got it home. The clock was packed well, the weights were double-wrapped in foam and bubble wrap, and the pendulum was encased in cardboard to prevent it from being damaged. The owner even included a small level (which I used and my clock was level). It's been running perfectly for 6 hours so I'm sure he's got it fixed and fixed correctly. It's also quieter than it was before, which I guess is because the bearings are all new and lubed properly. The repair person provided a card with a 2 year lubrication frequency as well. The price was exactly what was agreed to. No complaints, and I'm glad to have my grandmother's clock working again in my home. It sounds so nice. Now to address some comments: What clock repair place doesn't carry spare parts? A sane one. Do you understand how many different clocks there are in the world? Millions. Knowing where to find the parts is important, keeping parts on hand for even the most common clocks would take a huge warehouse and millions of dollars. I work on arcade games and pinball machines. I have 5 boxes of parts, so far I have been able to use 2 chips out of a $1000 inventory. Is that wise? Nope. Why does it take so long? Because this isn't McDonalds. It's a one or two person shop, and they work on stuff as it comes in. Ask up front, if you don't like the wait, go somewhere else.

I received a beautiful grandmother clock (a little bit smaller then a grandfather clock) and was…read moregiven high estimates from other companies right here on YELP. So I decided to give him a try. And I am so ecstatic that I did. I made the appointment and within a few days he contacted me to let me know he was on his way. He came in during this crazy pandemic and was very careful with mask and social distancing, for this i am very appreciative as I have an elderly mom at home. He came and dismantled the clock precisely and with great care. And it only took 45 minutes and worth every penny! He even told me the history of this particular clock and I am glad he is so knowledgeable in regards to clocks. He let me know he's been doing this for over 20 years and that says a lot. I can appreciate workmanship and precision. This is definitely a lost craft and I am going to keep his business card as i am convinced I will be purchasing another clock in the near future. If you need more info, don't hesitate to sent me a message as I think this review is not quite complete. Although I think i put in the important aspects. He is a really nice guy to do business with and again, i HIGHLY recommend him as he did come out to my house to do the initial fixing and completed it in 45 minutes. A lot faster then I originally thought. Please make sure that you make an appointment with him as it is by appointment only and his time is valuable. Haha I couldn't resist the joke, but in all seriousness, he is defintley a rarity when it comes to clock repair. And he was very honest about one of my other time pieces that he said would not be worth seeing since it was a newer mantle clock and would not even be attempted. I love honesty and that is a plus in my book.

When I arrived home, the clock no longer ran when plugged in. I called the store and was told I could receive a $35 credit on the $350 next cost of fixing the clock. The clock has sentimental value to me, however the original cost of the clock was less than $10 long ago. I recommend asking the repair price before the repair work is done. I paid the $35 and would have been satisfied if the clock continued to work, but I would not have agreed to the initial $35 repair cost if known before the 2 minute repair and I won't be returning For the next $350 repair.

I'm always a little reluctant to hand that watch over to anyone not just because of the type of watch it is, but it does also hold sentimental value. They allowed me to stay onsite and hang out while they serviced the watch. While the watch was being serviced we sat and chatted about the history of watches and the future of quartz and digital, really a great experience all around and I would highly recommend going here with your time pieces. Something worth keeping in mind, especially during the pandemic, a lot of factories supplying parts for our watches and clocks are running much slower with production, so if your timepiece is held onto longer than you expected, you can bet it's supply chain issues and not this location. Good luck and I hope you enjoy your experience as much as I did
