After 2.5 months we had heard nothing back so we called the shop and spoke with Rod. To say Rod was unhelpful, disrespectful and rude would be a gross understatement! Rod told us the clock would be done when it's done and he would not tell us anything about the progress of the clock. I told him the man that took the clock said to call for an update on repair costs. Rod told me that's a lie custermers are never told to call the shop. I asked for the name of the owner (Douglas) and to have Douglas call me. Rod refused to take my number and told me maybe Douglas wouldn't be in tomorrow or even the next day. Be warned.... don't deal with this business as long as Rod is an employee. Now we're worried that our clock isn't even there as Rod wouldn't even confirm that our clock was in the shop. VERY poor customer support!
Description of Work: We have a family grandfather clock that stopped chiming. We had always used this shop for maintance in the home. This time the clock needed to be taken into their shop for repairs. We were very apprehansive about having the clock leave our house for 2 months - which was the time quoted to us.

I inherited the clocks from my father, I retained the clock shop that my father used. I have used other clock shop / repairs in other parts of the U.S., they know Krenick's, and I have found Krenick's to be better than them. (I do suggest that they might be the best in the US; atleast better than I have found in DC, Maryland, SF Bay area.) Mr. Nelson (Mr Krenick, who I also knew, passed away several years ago) is the current owner of Krenick's; he makes house calls, checks the clock(s), and takes the movements to his shop, if necessary. Fixing a time piece takes time; he repairs the movement, hangs it on the wall, and does all the fuss work while it runs on the wall for a month or so They make every effort to repair / replace clocks with period pieces; they do not repair clock cases.

Very rude and unprofessional, blaming the customer for their lack of organization. They LOSE clocks and refuse to look for them! Don't do business here under any circumstances. I will update review if they find my clock or if I'm able to make the 12 hour drive to pick up the clock they refused to return earlier because it was "torn apart" (read lost) and now refuse to ship.
Description of Work: Two clocks were left for repair 6 months ago. I moved out of state during this time, but they would not give my clocks back because they could not locate one and the other was torn apart. One clock is FINALLY supposedly repaired, but one has been lost for months - they simply lost it! Then they blame the customer because I "can't give a good enough description" of the clock for them to find it. It's a clock movement for crying out loud...it has an hour hand and a minute hand...what am I supposed to tell them?? They give claim check numbers, but do not use them for organization or inventory tracking. They refuse to look through their very unorganized shop to find my clock, saying it will be too time consuming for them. They will not ship the one clock that is supposedly repaired.

Dropped off three old clocks that did not run. Several weeks went buy and still no repairs done. After several more weeks k them back and two were supposed to be repaired. Took them home and they did not work. Took them back and one does now work but the other one still does not work. After a couple months the third clock was repaired. Took that one home and that one a old wall clock is working. So two are now working after a very very long wait but the one old mantel still does not work. Will take it back again for the thoird time.

Clock Haven said they couldn't find the clock. After my friend's lawyer contacted Clock Haven, only then did Clock Haven contact the police department to say the clock had been stolen. The clock has never been found and Clock Haven has not offered to pay for this very valuable clock.
Description of Work: I was authorized by a friend to post this. She turned in her antique clock that had been in the family for years because it had stopped running. After waiting several weeks, she contacted Clock Haven and was told the clock was missing.
