Clock Repair Price List

Unless noted otherwise, these prices are for carry in or mail in service.

Pick up and delivery is available within 70 miles of Bentonville, Virginia.  Actual mileage charged at 50 cents per mile plus $25 per hour.

Before calling for service, PLEASE take a look at my guide to common clock problems.  If I come to your house, I must charge my house call fee, even if the required repair is minor.
While I try to keep this page up to date, prices are subject to change.
 
Prices are based on movements with normal wear.  These prices do not include repair or replacement of broken parts or the manufacture of replacement parts.  In the case of modern mechanical clocks, replacement of the movement may be the preferable action.  For a bit more information about this, please see my page on Modern Clock Movements - Repair or Replace?
 
All overhauls include:
 

House call (includes 1.5 hours labor on site or diagnose and estimate needed repairs- within 25 miles of Bentonville (additional charge for greater distance).  $85.00
Modern Grandfather and other large clock service - Includes two house calls  (removal and installation of movement), overhaul of movement, set up and test of restored clock.  Tubular Chime Clocks (clocks with tubes similar to wind chimes in back of case) are higher as they involve more work to overhaul.  Movement replacement is often a better choice than movement overhaul with modern German movements.
 $450.00

Ships Bell Clock overhaul.  The modern Hermle Ships Bell clocks are good candidates for movement replacement.  Older Seth Thomas, Schatz, and all Chelsea clocks are valuable clocks worth the effort to put them right.  These are jeweled balance wheel clocks, and require watchmaking as well as clockmaking skills.  Special lubicants and tools are required to do the job well.

Manufacture of specialized replacement parts and service of unusual clocks will be estimated and the clients approval obtained prior to beginning work.  Guarantee applies only to labor and parts provided by Stan Stocker, Clockmaker.  For a clock to perform well (or at all), the clock must be on a steady well supported surface or floor.  If your clock is not level, it probably will not work well.
I always recommend that tall clocks be secured to the wall for the safety of both the clock and people near the clock.  Children or adults who are not steady on their feet can and have knocked over heavy and valuable tall clocks, which usually results in significant damage to the clock, and can result in injury or death to anyone unfortunate enough to the stuck by the falling clock.
