Ken comes from a long line of Swiss clockmakers practicing the time-honored craft of clock repair, steeped in history and honed by a personal desire to pay attention to every detail. You can rest assured that your clock is special to us!

We are proud of the fact that we ONLY do "COMPLETE CLOCK REPAIR". Please note: We do not and will not do partial repairs of only the "broken" part(s). Your clock movement will be completely dismantled and thoroughly cleaned. All parts are inspected and repaired or replaced as needed. We always replace both main springs, not just the broken one, as the other main spring is likely fatigued and could cause additional damage later when it fails. Everything is polished and oiled with high quality clock oil and reassembled.

Need references? We have them! Go to our reference page to see a few testimonials about the quality and speed of our repairs. We strive for "FAST TURNAROUND"! Most jobs are returned in about 8 weeks or less. If additional time will be required to obtain unique parts, etc, you will be notified of the delay and kept abreast of the progress. If required, other references can be provided upon request.

I frequently get calls from people asking me to place a value on their antique clocks. I am not qualified to do that, therefore I will provide links to refer visitors to the web sites that may be able to provide the price value information on your anitque time piece.

WE GUARANTEE OUR REPAIRS

If Dakota Clock Repair does a complete overhaul, we will guarantee our work for 1-year on spring powered (wind up) clocks, or clocks where we replace the whole movement with a brand new movement.

We guarantee that all work accomplished will be done in a workmanlike manner consistent with the latest Horological techniques applicable to your model and vintage. This covers all of our work and any parts we install.

If you feel your clock needs repair within the 1-year guarantee period, it is your obligation to bring or ship the clock to Dakota Clock Repair at your expense.

Our primary service areas include North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana and Wyoming, however we do accept repairs from outside our service area. Clocks can be dropped off at our repair shop located in Glen Ullin, North Dakota. If drop-off is not possible, Ken will make arrangements for house calls within a reasonale travel distance (additional charges may apply) for large clocks, i.e. Grandfather clocks, etc. If you ship your clock to us for repair, we suggest using a professional shipper to properly package and insure your precious timepeice.
