Trust your clock to the experts!

Whether your car is an award winning restoration or a daily driver, THE
CLOCK WORKS will get your auto's clock ticking. We offer mechanical
restoration to original specs on many domestic 12 volt mechanical clocks for
as little as $39.95. (Quartz, digital drum, 6 volt, manual wind-up, and import
clocks may be higher.)

Basic mechanical restoration to the clock movement includes
disassembly of the entire movement, replacement of worn or distorted
components, reassembly, oiling, and calibration. We only ask that the
original movement be intact and serviceable. Recoloring of faded
hands, cleaning of the clock face and polishing of most plastic clock
lenses is often done at no extra cost.

Replacement of external and cosmetic components such as the set
stem, set knob, lens, dial face, hands or clock casing is normally not a
part of mechanical restoration, but may be available at additional cost.
Extra cost items would only be replaced at your request. There also
may be an additional charge for some electrical components such as
bulbs, wiring or winding coils.

If for any reason your existing clock movement cannot be properly
serviced you may have other options. In some cases we may be able to
replace your existing clock movement with an already reconditioned
movement from our extensive inventory. We also have a limited number
of NOS original equipment clock movements available for select clocks.
You may also have the option of having a modern quartz movement
installed in your clock. Of course, if you choose, you would always have
the option of having your clock returned to you unserviced at no charge.

This is where we really shine! Our experience has taught us that
customers do not like to be left waiting. That is why we always strive to
adhere to a 24 hour turnaround policy. Normally a clock will be
shipped out within 24 hours of the time it arrives at our service
department. Clocks that arrive on Friday usually ship on Monday. If
there is a delay we will usually try to contact you with an explanation
provided you provide us with a daytime telephone number. This
exclusive 24 hour turnaround has made us quite popular with last
minute detailers, as well as folks who don't like a hole in their
dashboard.

Our policy is to repair or replace, at our option, any clock movement
returned to us for warranty service within one year of the original
service date. This warranty does not cover damage do to mishandling
or problems with the car's electrical system. Warranty parts and labor
will be provided at no charge within the warranty period. Just return the
clock with a copy of the original invoice, an explanation of the problem,
and $12 for return shipping. We always encourage customers to call
before returning a clock for warranty service since many times the
problem can be traced to faulty wiring or installation procedures, or
there may just be a trick to starting your clock that you are not aware of.
Due to varying conditions such as vibration, voltage and temperature
fluctuations, and due to the fact that most auto clocks are designed to
be regulated by the user, calibration is normally not covered under
warranty.

NO! Visit our "request a quote" page to obtain an e-mail estimate on your
clock. Our flat service rate on many post-war 12 volt electro-mechanical
automobile clock movements starts at $39.95! This applies as long as the
original mechanical movement is complete, intact, and in serviceable
condition. Import, digital drum, 6 volt, manual wind-up, or quartz clocks may
be higher.
