It's nice to be able to leave a 5-star review to an establishment like Garon's. I'm fairly picky,…read moredon't give out 5-star ratings very often, but I feel it's a well deserved rating. Terrific place, with super nice folks who work there. Garon, the owner, is one swell guy to work with. Big jewelry store in a seemingly small building. Lots of inventory from watches to all kinds of jewelry; I can't imagine a person not being able to find what they're looking for there. I just went in for a watch battery. It was not only replaced in a few minutes, but for $8, a person couldn't ask for a fairer price than that. I'm relatively new to the area, and had probably driven by 1000 times before I knew they were there. A friend turned me on to Garon's, and said he's been going there for decades. I was as impressed by the store as I was with its owner and staff. Garon's will most definitely be my go-to place from here on out.

The ring I got for my Fiancee (now wife) is an absolute gem (hold applause for puns please). The owner Garon, his wife, and Michael were all great. When I found a problem with my ring after purchase I mailed it to them and they fixed the problem at no cost. Considering this involved them actually replacing the diamond with a higher quality one, this is unheard of in modern business. Do not go to Jared, do not go to Zales, go here!

Customer service is of the upmost importance to them. This isn't like going to the jewelry store at the mall, this is personal and Oz's look forward to having you as their customer, and they take great pride in providing you the best service and the best jewelry at what I consider are great prices! When I went in, I talked with Emily Ann and gave her my budget price; she didn't try to sell me a nice diamond in that price range, she showed me a great diamond at a lower price, that's customer service! The diamond I ended up with is beautiful and my wife absolutely loves it! Emily Ann even suggested yellow gold for the band (as that's what I wanted) with white gold for the prongs, that way the diamond won't pick up the gold color. The diamond is absolutely brilliant, the colors are beautiful! The diamond I bought is a VS1: By definition, VS1 diamonds are those that are very slightly included. These inclusions, are not even noticeable to the naked eye. After making this purchase I received a very nice gift card from Oz's and returned to by my wife a nice pair of birthstone earrings, she was overjoyed! Thank you Oz's Jewelers, especially Emily Ann, and thank you Melissa for making our anniversary that much more special! I will continue to use Oz's as my go to jewelers! You're the best!

Be careful working with this company, they are under new ownership. It is not the same Oz Jewelers…read more THEY LOST MY ACCENT RUBY, THEY CHIPPED MY RUBY, AND THE PRONG WORK IS AWFUL. I got my ring back a week ago and took it to different Jewelers in the surrounding area and all said, "the prong work leaves alot to be desired" - they were to replace a prong on my sapphire and tip the other 3. There are ripples in the tipped prongs and they are so bad the Jewelers reviewing it would not attempt to tell me which one was replaced. I have had this ring for over a decade, it is well loved and in sterling silver, which is soft but the sapphire is not centered. There is a huge gap and the stone is pushed to one side leaving it diagonal. There are several prongs on the accent setting that needs replacement, that was never even mentioned to me when I brought it in. This ring was giving to me by my father when I was 19, it was 1,000 almost 20 years ago, my father passed in January. There is no amount of money too great for this ring. I added photos so you can see how poorly this ring was done, every jeweler I've spoken with said they would not return my ring to me like this. The stone they lost, I went to pick up my ring and was told the jeweler forgot to put the stone in. Why was my ring not inspected before it was put in a bag as completed? The ruby was not in the bag and they only told me it was lost thr next day, because the color did not match and they had to order a new ruby. THE COLOR STILL DOES NOT MATCH! In the sun you can see how pink the stone is compared to the others. And the ruby below the ruby they replaced has been chipped in the same spot the prong lays on the stone they replaced. This ring is "well loved", it is almost 20 years old. But none of my stones were chipped when I brought it in. There was no mention of a chipped stone when it was brought in. I know there are no photos of a chipped stone because my stone WAS NOT CHIPPED! The prong that broke was on the opposite side of the ring. I've included a photo of how my ring looked before it was brought in. I am devastated this all happened. I'm angry how this was handled. Every jeweler was surprised this was Oz's work and so am I. I will be taking this as far as I can. I'm an accountant, I have money Melissa and the ring you messed up means more to me than you will ever know.

Inside, however the place is kind of magical. The first thing you see when you enter is a large display of toys made from recycled plastic, complete with dirt and tools. Everywhere you turn, there's another awesome, well put together toy or baby gear display. The merchandise is divided by age appropriate items. Just when you think you're done, there's a large circular staircase down to another level, where the toys for older children are located. One of the best things is how "hands on "kid friendly it is; it's a total no judgment zone! Tons of sample toys have been laid out for kids to actually play with! The next great things are the prices! Very fair and reasonable - not boutique prices like you might think! Great place to pick up a gift for a kid you love!

The place is an absolute disaster inside, but not having frequented many tv repair shops, I wasn't sure if this was the norm or not. They don't take debit or credit cards and he charges $50.00 to diagnose the problem, so we had to go back out and get cash. We left the TV with him and he said he would call to let us know what the issue was. When we didn't hear back after about a week or so, my boyfriend called him. He gave us the specific serial number and part number we needed to order. He originally told me that he could order it, but it would be less expensive if we ordered it online. We did that and had it sent directly to the shop. Another couple of weeks went by and we heard nothing, even though we knew the part had been delivered a week previous, so my boyfriend called him back again. He said the part we ordered didn't work in the TV and that it can be tricky even though the part number and serial numbers match up. My boyfriend asked him if he could just order the part, and then bill us for it. He said that they don't do that. So my boyfriend let him know we would be up on Saturday to pick up the TV. They are only open from 10-2, so we got there at 12. The OPEN sign outside was on, but the door was locked. There were two other customers in the parking lot (one there to pick up his TV that also wasn't fixed). My boyfriend called the number on the sign and the same guy we had been dealing with picked up and said he was at lunch and to wait for him to get back in 30 minutes or so. Understandably we were irritated seeing that they are only open for 4 hours on Saturday, and like most working people, we had a lot to get done that day. He asked us to let everyone in the parking lot know that he was at lunch and would be back in thirty minutes or so to which my boyfriend refused. We left and came back 45 minutes later, my boyfriend walks in and the guy says the TV is still not put back together, that it will be 30 minutes and he will leave it on the porch. My boyfriend (who is typically a very good natured and calm person) was upset and had words with the guy. The guy told him we were lucky they are open on Saturday at all and that it was his fault that we ordered the wrong part. These people are supposed to be in the business of repairing TV's. If it were easy, we wouldn't have felt the need to take it to a "professional". If it is tricky to find the right part online, he should have helped us, sent us a link or something. We came back, started loading the TV in the truck and the guy was outside the shop watching us and furiously typing or texting on his flip phone and taking pictures of us, as if we were doing something criminal. It was very strange and would rate as one of the very worst customer service/business experiences I have ever had. We did receive a recommendation after we had dropped this one off for a more local repair place. My boyfriend dropped the TV off yesterday, so we shall see ...
