I have a Howard Miller grandfather clock. It was noisy so I thought perhaps it needed to be oiled. I called Abraham out and he took some spray oil and gave it a couple of squirts into my mechanism and charged me $200. He said the movement needed to be totally cleaned and taken out of the clock. Seemed a crazy price given the two minutes he spent. I have since had a different clock repairman out that took the movement out of my clock and completely cleaned my clock $400. He told me that spray oil should never be sprayed onto the movement. I have a high end Howard Miller and the brass was covered with spotty oil spots from the spray oil. Fortunately it did come off. What a mess to clean up the spray oil used. Would not recommend.
My wife and I really liked the guy that came out and looked at our Howard miller clock. we got the clock from her grandparents and we didn’t know how to use it he taught us how to use the Clock And oiled it for us. we will use his services again thank you so much he comes highly recommended.

2021-12-01Our 100+ yr old Grandfather Clock was missing tones and would strike 12 no matter the hour. Mr. Abraham came by for an evaluation and took the mechanisms & weights back to his shop and within a few weeks he notified my the clock was ready for delivery and install.He patiently explained what the process was and how the clock worked. The problem had been a broken part of the striking mechanism, something no longer available (of course). No problem, Mr. Abraham was able to hand forge the part and now the clock is in Tic Tock Shape. and keeping time better than my iPhone.As you can see, he took the entire mechanism apart, cleaned, polished and reassembled to a like new condition. I asked him to leave the patina on the weights and pendulum because I dont want a brand new looking 100+ year old clock, just one that works like its brand new.Besides being a wonderful, old word craftsman, he is one of the nicest men youll ever meet. Will gladly do business again if ever needed.

2022-07-22I wish I could leave a 10 star review for Abrahams Clock Repair! I own and operate a fine jewelry & watch store in Grand Rapids, Michigan where, for nearly 40 years, we have serviced the West Michigan community. 25 years ago we stopped offering clock services and instead referred our clients to Abrahams. We, and our clients, are so grateful! It is rare today to find devoted technicians, like Abrahams, who deliver expert service and are also kind, trustworthy and honest. Thank you Abrahams Clock Repair! Youre the best!

2022-04-02We have used Abrahams clock repair for many years. When we call for service he is usually there the same day if not within a few days.Having someone you know you can trust to give truthful information and reliable service is more important than the least expensive price.

2022-03-26I stopped using his service he was over priced and did not always do a very good job on my clocks . Brien K Dew is much better clock repair man. check him out on Facebook or he services the clocks at the Jewelry Doctor in Frandor Shopping Center in Lansing.

2021-12-10No experience with this business..but seeing that they just sprayed some lubricant onto a customers clock mechanism and charged 4200.00 I would be afraid to try their services..Clearly it states in my clocks owner s manual to never do so..Any one claiming years of repair service experience such as this firm surely must know this...and not seeing any response to this customers complaint by Abraham or offer to fix the problem says it all...sorry ..no confidence not willing to use this firm . Reviews are very helpful..
