Business ProfileforTimes Ticking Inc.

Beware sending your clock to Times Ticking! They wait until they have your clock before you learn the price or time to repair and their estimates are not free, as advertised. I contacted them by email to find out if they would fix my clock mechanism and what the time to repair would be. They said they would need to see the clock first. I have many antique clocks and have never paid more than $500 to have the most difficult serviced. ********** service company advertises repair of my clock for $195 ******* search: midwest-clock-repair ansonia) but with a wait time of 6 months, so I thought I might pay a bit more and get it done sooner. I packed up the clock and sent it **** to Times Ticking for $41. ***** called me and gave me an initial quote of over $2000 and time to repair of 6-8 months. When I told him to send back the clock, he told me he could come down in price if apprentices in training worked on the clock but he would have to check. He called back a few minutes later and quoted $1400. I told him to send back the clock. He charged me $70 to ship back my clock, but the actual **** charge for return shipping was $28.25. In summary, I paid $111 for nothing and Times Ticking made over $40 on a free estimate. They could have provided an approximate repair cost and repair time upfront and I would not have wasted my time and money. (August 2023).
