I had gone to Timothy Grant Jewelry to see if they could help me replace a battery for and…read moreinexpensive watch. Other jewelers had said it wasn't worth it and to just purchase a new one. The personnel at Timothy Grant were courteous, professional and considerate. They took the time to examine my watch and determined it not only needed a new battery but a bit of internal cleaning - which they did for free! It's difficult to find such good service nowadays, isn't it? I highly recommend Timothy Grant not only for their battery replacement but for their gorgeous jewelry selections.

Worst customer service I've ever experienced. Went in with a small aluminum plate that I wanted…read moreengraved. Asked for a font that looked Nordic or Viking. Was told to leave the plate, go online to find something that looked good to me, and email them pics of the font I liked. Did just that. No response. Waited a few days over a weekend and emailed again to see if they had received the pics I sent. Received a snarky and condescending reply that what I had sent was actually an image file and not the .otf or .ttf file they needed. Stopped by the shop a couple days later to pick up my plate. Was greeted by the person who had told me to "just send us a picture of something you like" and tried to express my disappointment with the reply I had received. I didn't get half a sentence out before he just tossed the plate on the counter, said "well we can't help you," and walked out leaving me there by myself. I guarantee you can find better customer service anywhere else.
