Brumley's Old Clock Shop

About Brumley's Old Clock Shop

When it comes to reviving antique timepieces, Brumley’s Old Clock Shop in Madison delivers meticulous care and expertise, making it a go-to for clock lovers. Lee Brumley is praised for his old-school craftsmanship, successfully restoring a 1960’s New England Clock to impeccable condition despite the challenges of sourcing obsolete parts. His commitment doesn’t come with a lightning-fast turnaround, but clients often appreciate the attention their treasured clocks receive.

However, the shop’s service can be hit or miss. While many customers rave about Mr. Brumley’s professionalism and decades of experience—citing successful repairs on grandfather clocks and sentimental wall clocks—some have expressed frustration with lengthy repair times and post-service issues. A customer faced significant complications after a cleaning, which led to their clock malfunctioning despite previous reliability, raising concerns about aftercare and responsiveness.

Operating 24/7, Brumley’s offers a wide range of services that include cleaning, oiling, and complete restorations. Pricing can reach high figures, as seen with a $1340 repair, so it’s wise to discuss costs and expectations beforehand. Those who value an expert’s touch and a deeper appreciation of clock mechanics will likely find Brumley’s skills worth the wait amid the mixed reviews.
