Providing basic service to complete restoration on antique and modern clocks. House calls are available for Floor clocks. I have been serving Virginia since 1980.
Services we offer
Repairs made to all clocks. All work guaranteed. No charge for an estimate if you bring the clock to my store. As well as restoring the clock movement, I also can refinish or restore the case and dial.
The owner,Stephen Long, told me that he had not even looked at my clock yet. He said that he would call me when it was ready. He NEVER called me nor returned my calls for over 3 years now. I finally reached him on 4/4/2019. He did not apologize for his poor service and actually blamed ME for not contacting him! My clock is still there but untouched. I’m picking it up today. Never bring your clocks to this business, I have never experienced such unprofessional lack of service.
Description of Work: I brought a mantel clock in for a simple cleaning & check-up on 8/12/2015. On 11/12/2015 I returned to pay and pick it up.

Response from The Time Machine
people will write what ever they want. this lady had not called me in more than 3 years. I did not blame her for it being there so long. I never raised my voice to he and I apologized. I had not been well and had a double lung transplant. She hung up on me while I was tryin to find out what kind of clock she left so I could get it. I got it and cleaned the case up and wound and set it. She can say what she wants. I have been in town repairing clocks for 39 years. I enjoy a great reputation. Sometimes things fall through the cracks as they say.

I brought the clocks to Time Machine. He explained what needed to be done (replacing the mechanisms). In one case, he gave me a choice of replacing the exact mechanism that was in the clock or getting a cheaper one that would do the same job. He completed the work in about a week and called me. I picked up the clocks and both are working fine now.
Description of Work: Two clocks had stopped working & needed to be fixed.

I never took the click in for service but you didn't offer me the opportunity to tell you that. But I don't want to hurt the vendor.

Description of Work: Serviced and cleaned two clocks. One had broken parts and needed refinishing. It was a grandmother clock that was almost 50 years old and had been sitting neglected for the past 10 years. The other was a wall clock that needed new parts, which he made in his shop. The work was perfect and both clocks keep perfect time now.
