Kirk and his crew just repaired a grandfather clock that's over 100 years old. Several other repair shops said it could not be don't. And, where we thought it would cost as much as $1,000, it was only about half that! We couldn't be happier. read more

I Had Kirk come over to my House to tell me what it was going to take to fix my Molyneux Grandfather Clock. With a price that we both agreed on that was far for such a discared for Clock and needing so much work. Valley Clock Shop had my Clock for about two weeks and when they brought her home. WOW!!! It was like a new Clock. All new and shiny and sounding spectacular. They did a total tare down and rebuild. Plus cleaned the wood and recoated it. Also replacing the front glass and getting all the years of grime off all the other pieces of glace. I am so happy with the work Kirk and the guys at Valley Clock Shop In El Cajon did for me and my Grandfather clock. I would have no problem recommending them. They are awsome!

My 23 year old Howard Miller Grandfather clock needed to be refurbished. Kurt took my clock to his shop to do the refurbishing. Took it on 10-11-21 and promised it by Thanksgiving. He returned the clock on 11-5-21 long before Thanksgiving. He did a beautiful good and went above and beyond with his customer service. I would highly recommend him. I know I will be using him again for maintenance issues. read more

This shop is awesome! I came in with a clock that needed some work and Kirk the owner repaired it. He also told me that the clock was over 100 years old and let me know what is was worth. I left feeling great about my decision to repair the cuckoo clock that my dad gave to me. I highly recommend fixing any old family clock and keep it around for generations to come! The pricing was fair and the clock is working great! read more

A pleasure to do business with. Kirk's price was fair and the work was completed as promised.

Kirk and his crew are great! They hooked me up big time and did some complex work that 3 other shops could not do. Thanks to Lyn Doggie and Ropes for turning me on to Kirk! read more

I thought I stepped back "in time" with the down to earth family oriented service What a absolute pleasure. Kirk is absolutely a gem who I trust completely with my family heirloom. It was the sweetest thing, his mom JoAnn was there even-So sweet! It was professional and great service. My clock is beautiful-Thank you! You don't find this. Absolute gem! read more

We have a treasured grandfather clock in our living room. That clock is like the heartbeat of our home. We were overdue for a major overhaul on the clock. We couldn't be more pleased with wonderful craftsmanship and care our clock received from Kirk of Valley Clock Shop. It runs and chimes like it did back in 2003 when it was brand new. We highly recommend Valley Clock Shop in El Cajon! read more

I inherited this Howard Miller clock once my folks passed on. The clock is 35 years old and hasn't worked for many years. Kirk came to the house and removed the clock from the cabinet to take back to his shop for repair. After two weeks for repair time, Kirk returned to reinstall the clock. The clock is running in like new condition. Kirk did a great job and its great to hear the clock chiming once again like it used to. Great work! Nice guy too. read more

I had given my parents a beautiful grandfather clock that a friend of mine had and had taken very good care of. She was moving and decided at the last minute to not take the clock. She had already had the movers take the weights and pendulum off for the move, so that was the only thing that needed to be put back on after delivering it to my parents home. Valley clock was called and Kirk came out to put everything back on and get the clock running again. My parents had never had a grandfather clock and being in their 80's, didn't really know how it worked. Kirk finished, charged them the hundred dollars quoted and left. Shortly afterwards, my dad noticed the clock was not working. The pendulum was not swinging and the time staying the same. He called Kirk, who told him to wait until the next day to see if it starts working. Thinking this was strange advice, my dad then called the shop and the woman sent Kirk back out. In the meantime, my dad pushed the pendulum and it started to swing on it's own. Kirk came back and was upset that he drove back and the clock was now working. He wanted to charge my dad another $100 fee and was very cocky with my dad. They will not be calling this clock shop for service anymore. read more

We came across Valley Clock Shop at the Oktoberfest celebration in La Mesa. They had a booth, and this is where I first met Kirk. He's a very friendly guy, and obviously passionate about his profession- clocks! I inherited a grandmother clock that's about 40 yrs old, and it has never worked during the time that I have had it. I always wanted to not only get the inner workings fixed, but also to have the cabinet repainted and finished. I knew that Kirk was gonna be the guy to do it... Within a week or so, he was at our house for the original consult and quote. I was very happy with the price and eager to do business. Things happened fast after that, and Kirk kept communicating with me the whole time. When it was time to choose colors and finishes for the cabinet, I visited his shop and looked at some examples by their expert woodwork collaborator, Ski. We made a decision, and again after that- the process was very quick. I am overwhelmed at my "new" clock! Kirk brought the finished product to the house the other day, and I can't stop looking at it. I wasn't sure all these years what the clock was going to finally look/sound like once I got it fixed, but the outcome has surpassed all my hopes for it. I just love it! I highly recommend Kirk and the Valley Clock Shop for their quality of work, timeliness, friendliness, and affordability. read more

Excellent customer service, clock repair done sooner than promised. The cost was less than half of what I paid to another shop to fix the same problem multiple times. The other shop failed. Valley got the job done right the first time. I have already taken another older clock to them. read more

Valley Clock Shops was extremely competent and responsive to repairing a very old Seth Thomas wall clock and an old Grandmother clock. Kirk personally did the on-site inspection and we were impressed with his expertise and great customer sensitivity. When our clocks were returned after in-shop repairs and overhaul, they ran perfectly. Kirk even called the next day to make sure we were happy and offer his help if we needed it to set or adjust them. We had previously contacted other clock repair service options, but were not pleased with their customer response, so we were happy when we found Valley Clocks. Our old clocks, which have been in our family for a long time, now work perfectly. We are so happy that we chose Valley Clock Shops to take care of them. This shop is good - it's like working with family. Go to them - you won't be disappointed! read more

Excellent Service, and Professional. All work guaranteed, and Kirk was awesome. Clearly knows clocks, this is a family owned business, and respectable. Excellent customer service, and work done in a timely manner, as promised. Highly recommend this business! thank you. read more

I recently purchased a very expensive 200 year old French clock while vacationing in Amsterdam. After about one year I started having trouble with it stopping for no reason and not keeping accurate time. I brought it in to Valley Clock Shop and talked with Kirk and left it nervously in his care. He promptly called and told me the clock's internals were in bad shape and he wasn't sure if it could be repaired. He encouraged me to come to the shop so I could see what he was talking about, which I did. Some of the parts were so small, I had to borrow his magnifying glasses to see them. I stressed how much the clock meant to me, how much faith I had in him and that it needed to be rebuilt no matter the cost. He agreed to pursue it, calling me every week to update me. After a short six weeks he called to tell me he was successful and the clock was running. I was surprised, relieved and happy. The price was fair and now the clock is amazingly accurate as French clocks are known to be. Thank you Kirk! read more

Very nice people. Very good service. Kirk went out of his way to deliver my clock to me when I couldn't pick it up. The work was both well done and completed in a timely fashion. Service prices were fair. I would definitely use Valley Clock Shop again for future clock repairs. read more

My wife took my deceased fathers very old clock to them as a surprise for me when it stopped working. After it was there for 2 months they told us they cant find parts for it to repair it. They did tell her they could install new parts to make it work again with a battery. They removed all the old parts out of it and gutted my dads clock. Then they put in a very poor imitation quartz clock and then they nailed the back shut. Keep in mind this clock did lift up from the back. With in 2 months it stopped the chiming. Then it stopped the time. When called they said put in a new battery. We told them they nailed it shut they said bring it to them and they will charge us labor plus parts (battery) . I did not have a good experience and if you use them make sure you get all the parts back. The new clock repair man said he could have rebuilt my dads clock but now we dont have the parts. Who nails the back of a 100 plus year old clock shut? read more

I disregarded the bad yelp review of this place when it was recommended to me by someone, and I'm glad I did! I have an inexpensive but sentimental favorite battery wall clock. It was repaired for me very quickly at Valley Clock with a better mechanism and is now keeping correct time! Since it never kept correct time before, I'm REALLY happy! read more

I am very pleased with the work that was done on my old grandmother clock. It had sat for almost 15 years without working, but Kirk, whose family owns the shop, cleaned, oiled and made minor repairs, so that it is up and running just in time for the holidays. I'm once again enjoying the Westminster chimes from long ago ! read more

Excellent customer service!! I brought in a Japanese cuckoo clock that needed a lot of work. Kirk was very up front on the different options of how it could be repaired at different prices. Although I elected not to repair it for now, I was so impressed I brought in my antique Howard Miller grandfather clock and had it repaired. I am 100% satisfied with the results. They touched up the wood case and installed a new movement. The clock looks like new again!! read more

The only reason for 1 star is I cannot select 0 stars. The worst customer service I have ever experienced. If you want a clock repaired, do yourself a favor and select ANY other clock shop. read more

I had my grandfather clock serviced by Kirk.. He was so sweet and very professional. I was so happy how quick he was able to come out to my house and his prices are very fair.. I will be using this business for all my clock services and repairs from now .. read more

I spent several hundred dollars having my grandfather clock worked on by this company. I live in Ramona so I had to take it in. The first time he "fixed" it it did not work when I got it home. The hooks were broken off all the weights as if he had dropped the box they were in. He said they were all fine when it left here, yeah right! I called and he told me that the "tick and tock were off" ??? so I brought it back (I had to locate and replace the hooks for the weights as he did not have new replacements ???). He supposedly repaired it again (charged me again) but when I got it home it still did not work. I called again and he told me I did something wrong when I moved it into my house. I have moved this clock several times and never had a problem leveling and setting up the clock. Each time I brought it in I was charged more money. He said he would come out and fix it at my home. I never heard from him again. I took it to another clock repair shop and they told me he did not do the work I was charged for (replace all bushings in the mechanism). I had to pay again for the work I paid him to do, but instead he ripped me off to the tune of over $500 and I got nothing in return. The other clock repair installed new bushings in the clock and it now works great. YOU WILL BE SORRY IF YOU USE THIS CLOCK SHOP! read more
