**Worst Repair Shop Ever** I brought my grandfather's binoculars in for repair. They were in mint condition, except for a peeling fake leather coating on the hand-holding part. Just take a look at what they did to them! The owner of the shop looked me in the eyes and said, "I don’t know what’s wrong with the repair," and shouted at me, asking whether I realized how difficult it is to put leather on binoculars. They charged us $80, and I requested a full refund. He was extremely angry and refused to return my money. Eventually, he threw cash on the counter and set the binoculars aside. When I asked what he was doing, he said, "I am not giving them back to you." So, I had to peel the leather off in front of the shop owner to retrieve my destroyed binoculars. Meanwhile, one of his colleagues was speaking in German and laughing at the situation, as if it was all a joke. You can decide if this place is right for you.
This was my first and last time I'll be taking my business to Max. I was very disappointed in the work that was done. The final result wasn't what we agreed upon and I was overcharged for services rendered. If you don't want to be overcharged for "less-than" quality, I'd recommend making the drive somewhere else.
Max is wonderful! We've had many pairs of shoes as well as a few other leather items repaired at his shop. He repaired sandals I did not think were salvageable as well as a vintage tote, dress shoes, and boots. It's fantastic to have his services in town. I really appreciate being able to keep wearing my old favorites even after they are discontinued. They don't make leather shoes like they used to!
I met this man years ago when he purchased a vehicle from a friend of mine. I found out after speaking with him that he repairs shoes. It's such a unique trade that isn't found often. The quality of good shoes has gone down from companies cutting corners and finding a true good quality shoe nowadays cand cost you $100s of dollars. I brought him a pair of shoes from my daughters baby shower 9 years ago. I paid $149 years ago but it was real quality. Those shoes now cost $295. This guy gave them back to me for a fraction of the cost and they look INCREDIBLE. HE LITERALLY "Saves Your Sole"
The fact that I found a “shoe repair” shop was amazing in itself….but I found the best!! Max turned my broken, 4 year old shoes into brand new ones, just like the day I bought them!!! Max is very knowledgeable in his craft with a positive attitude! Many thanks!
