hornman654 Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 Does anyone know of a clock repairman in this area? Guadalajara? It seems center of one of the cogs finally wore itself into where it attached to the frame. It is a Seth Thomas and belonged my grandparents. Would really like to get it going again. I used the guy in Chapala several years ago near the bus station but have found out that he died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cedros Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 That guy by the bus station wasn't the greatest but he was close. I found this one in Guadalajara. An old fashioned, well established clock shop. Lama Relojeria Pavo # 121 Guadalajara, 36 13 32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callejera Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 Jeweler Daniel Jackson Garcia has a watch and clock repair guy in GDL that he works with to repair really fine watches (Rolex, Cartier) and clocks. The best part is that HE takes it into the city for you and picks it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Berca Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 I have had a 10 month long, 5000 peso experience with Daniel and his clock repair man for three parts to a 50 year old triple chime Linden mantel clock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tzevi Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 Corner of Morelos/16 Septiembre, yellow storefront, Ajijic, don't be fooled by the messy shop. He took apart my Westminster antique clock, cleaned every oxidized part, got the chimes going -- all in very short time-span. He knows his work.

ibarra Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 I wholeheartedly agree with tzevi. We had a very expensive antique clock fixed by them as well as gold watches. Sergio and Rene' speak English. Don't go until around 11:00 in the morning, or a little later, just to be sure they are open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Saltos Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 It would seem he was competent enough for the previous two posters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmmm......... pretty complex mechanism in a genuine antique clock of considerable value..... takes a delicate hand, intricate knowledge and skill to undertake such repair. Wondering about your experience and how incompetence could possibly be concluded. FYI, he can also do camera repairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
