Could not have gone better. What a wealth of knowledge he has of clocksmithing. I called his number around 9 am he answered. Mr. Smith asked me a few questions about the clock. told me it didn't sound to serious. 45 minutes later I showed up at his shop.. In five minutes he knew what the problem was..in just a few minutes later he had the problem solved.. You will not find a more honest clocksmith. very professional but very friendly and curtious..his service was very reasonable priced. My name is Dean Walker have lived in Charleston SC all my 59 years have been in the restaurant business for 45 years.i am an excellent judge of character. I can promise you, you can put your complete trust in him..i am so happy to have used Angies List for the first time today. To have learned about Smith Clock Repair.. Give him a call..

When I went to the store, the store was abandoned and there was a sign on the door with a man's name and number. When I called the number, the recording said the mailbox was full. I went next door to another store to ask if they knew anything about this store closing, and they said that several people had come in asking the same thing, saying that the owner had disappeared with their clocks and didn't know how to contact him.

Sorry for your bad experience. Sounds like you went to a competitors store who had recently closed. I work from my home at 509 Rose Lane in Summerville, SC. I have never had a store front in Summerville

The first clock was done in less than a day. The hands had stopped moving. The second clock is very old and needs major work done it. That will take a bit longer.

Description of Work: Our grandfather clock chimes were not working properly and the clock had not been oiled in over 15 years. Brian took about an hour to fix the chimes, adjust the clock and oil the works. The clock is now running great. I would definitely use him again

Description of Work: He looked at my clock as soon as I got there to see if it could be a simple fix. He determined the appropriate steps and within 15 minutes my clock was fixed. I was dreading and anticipating that I would have to drop it off and then wait weeks before he looked at it. If a more complicated fix had been necessary I would have gladly left the clock with him. This was a very pleasant transaction and I am delighted. My clock was a 1940s electric clock. I know he does a lot of work on Grandfather hand-wind clocks as well.

Response from SMITH CLOCK REPAIR
On grandfather clocks, 9 out of 10 clocks can be made to run again by oiling the movement. I offer that service, and this is what I did in this case. Most times, It gets the clock running for several years more. I try to tell the customer that there is no guarantee when oiling the movement and that an overhaul may be needed to get it fully running. In some cases, as in this one, the movement is either too gummed up or too much wear has occurred for the movement to keep running and it must be overhauled or the movement replaced. If i recall correctly, I offered the owner to discount the first visit of $130 from the total overhaul cost and he chose not to repair. Had he chosen to overhaul the movement, i would have warranted my work for 1 year.

Description of Work: Attempted to repair my 40 yr old grandfather clock. Had to replace movement and applied the tuneup cost toward new movement. 2 months later there was a factory defect of new German Movement. He called factory and ordered a new movement prior to coming to inspect problem. Confirmed defect and got factory to reset warranty date to second Movement installed at no cost. Very professional and kept me informed on a regular basis.

Description of Work: We had just moved to Summerville and needed 2 grandfather/grandmother clocks serviced and repaired. I called Brian and he came out to our house the next day and examined the clocks. He then ordered the parts needed for one of the clocks and returned the following week to finish his service. He was punctual, polite, experienced and affordable. |We would definitely use Brian again.

Our grandfather clock had been left in storage and had not run for a number of years. I was pretty concerned when we retrieved it that it would not work at all. I was right, it didn't stay running. the pendulum would not move, it wouldn't chime...I feared the worst!. We called Bryan who responded for a service call within 48 hours. In an hour, he had the clock fully repaired and I didn't have to mortgage the house to put it back into perfect running order. Bryan is knowledgeable, professional, and reasonable in his pricing (consider he traveled from Summerville to James Island). Love to hear the deep ticking sound and the chimes that only a grandfather clock makes. Thank you! I have already referred you to someone who has a wounded cuckoo clock. A great job at a great bargain. We will definitely pass the word to all our friends.

I feel I should have paid more for the prompt service and vast information Brian (Smith's Clock Service) provided. I needed some glass fixed on an antique clock I had. Cost was so little. He had it fixed before I even got home later that evening. Brian also was nice enough to provide details about the clock, make, era, how to use it, etc. And was nice enough to exchange the brass key so I can set the clock when needed. I have another clock that I will send his way. Truly this is first class customer service, professionalism, and what the small business owners are all about. TWO THUMBS UP! Thanks again...

Description of Work: Bryan did an excellent job cleaning our New England grandfather clock. He came to my house sooner than he originally said he could come and was very professional. I will have him come back and work on the clock the next time it needs anything done to it.

Bryan gave me an estimate and told me what would be done to get both back in working order. While I did not do any price comparisons (because he had an excellent rating on Angie's list and the most reviews posted) I felt the price quote was fair. When I picked the clocks up I discovered I had neither a key to unlock the case nor a key for winding the Howard Miller clock. I had assumed they were in the bubble wrap along with the pendulum. That was not a problem. Bryan was kind enough to search around for both and give them to me at no charge. The antique clock (my great grandfathers) works beautifully making me smile each time I hear the hour ring. The wall clock sounded great in the shop and no doubt will sound just as wonderful once a needed hanging bracket is purchased. I would definitely recommend Bryan to anyone who needs a clock repaired. I even offered to pick-up my Mom's clock in Charlotte , NC and take it to him to be repaired!
Description of Work: I took two clocks to be repaired. One an antique mantle clock the other a contemporary Howard Miller wall clock. They were cleaned and given a thorough over haul.

I was extremely upset about my clock. It holds a lot of sentimental value, plus I had just dropped almost $500 getting it set up and tuned up by another repair man. Bryan called me back almost immediately and offered to come downtown to fix it that afternoon (on a Saturday). He was extremely professional and friendly. He was also upfront with the cost (standard cost for a home visit plus an additional cost if the clock had to be moved to his shop for additional work). He explained several things about the clock to me in detail (like how to slow it down if it was moving too fast - which it was) and provided the information in writing as well. He also gave me tips on how to avoid getting overcharged by others - i.e. some of the things they would recommend as vital upkeep that really weren't necessary. I couldn't have been more impressed. I will definitely use him for all of my future needs.
Description of Work: My grandfather clock (~20 years old) was not working after another clock repair person had dismantled it, set it back up after a local move, and charged me an extra $300 for a "tune-up." Bryan was able to get it working again just by oiling it (I cannot believe I paid that much for a "tune up" from the other guy, and he failed to oil it). Bryan also found some numbers that had fallen off in a big, cross-country move 6 years ago and reattached them. One of them was actually in the movement of the clock; again I can't imagine how that got missed by the other guy.

He's very good. He didn't charge me the second time, it stopped working so I called him and told him. He said he was in the neighborhood so he stopped in and said he wound it to tight and that's all it took. He's very personable, professional, prompt and responsive. He's in the neighborhood and has learned his clock and watch repairing from his father. He seems to love what he does.
