The Repair Process …………It Takes Time
When we take in your timepiece we go over the concerns you raised in our conversation. We evaluate all pieces. We see if we can get parts for your timepiece (i.e. year of timepiece). This takes time as we have to find a supplier that carries that specific part. We repair it and then put the timepiece to a test. We watch it for week(s) to see if the item we repair is working or if another part was the real source of the problem. After it goes through this test we call you. I’m sorry for the length of time to repair your timepiece but we don’t want to return you timepiece and have it break again. Sometimes it does. We have put these steps to minimize the downtime. After 4o years in the business this is the “best practices” we developed to repair your watch/clock.

Please give us a try.

Reviews

I brought in an old clock to have it repaired and refurbished - I explained that it was to be my wife's Christmas present and it was about 3 weeks before Christmas - when I told Mr. Farooqui that I really needed that done, he worked overtime to get it back to me in time for Christmas - a pleasure to worth with!!

The Time Center has repaired two clocks for us - a stand up pedestal and a grandfather clock. Both were important family pieces, so it was important to us that they be repaired properly, and carefully. The Time Center did an excellent job. They were prompt courteous and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend.
