McGrath Time & Chime

At McGrath Time & Chime, my goal is to give you the best quality service for your clock. It takes time and close attention to detail to properly repair and service a clock, and put it back in working condition. I enjoy working on clocks, and you can be sure I will give your clock the attention it requires. Services offered include: Estimate for repair of a clock – verbal estimates are free. If a written estimate is required, a fee will be charged for that service Regular maintenance: -disassembling and cleaning the movement -carefully inspecting the movement for wear or broken parts -repairing minor wear (e.g., polishing worn pivots, removing minor burrs   caused by wear, replacing taper pins and missing screws) -rebushing worn pivot holes -polishing brass parts, including weights, pendulum, gears and plates -lubricating the movement -reassembling and testing the movement (minimum of 3 weeks) -instructions for setting up your clock once it is back at your location Repairs outside regular maintenance, e.g., broken or excessively worn gear teeth or broken or excessively worn pivots, require that a separate quote for the additional repairs be provided to the customer. No work involving additional cost will be performed without prior approval from the customer. using resources at the NAWCC and AWCI, information about the age, manufacture and history of your clock can be researched. When you call to discuss repairing your clock, we will negotiate your dropping off the clock, or my picking up and delivering it. I also accept clocks that have been properly packed and shipped. Please call before shipping your clock and I will provide you with instructions for proper packing of your clock.
