| - Geez! I opened up the first page here and I see a lot of negative reviews!
Well, I'm going to add another one. lol
Fast and Fix at the Meadows Mall used to be good, I think.
I used to take my Timex Ironman collector piece to have the battery replaced.
It takes two batteries, and the cost was like $30. A little high side, but I wanted to have a watch pro do it so I didn't mind. I own two of the same watch, which I use one of them for everyday wear, and is scratched and banged up. This one, I took to have the battery replaced.
I went to pick-up my watch, and it never came out the same.
I do have good ears, and I overheard the whispering in the background, therefore, I do know that the repair guy had installed a wrong battery, and shorted it out. I also know that this is a common way to break a digital watch, because I've done that a few times when I was a kid. I broke a calculator that way, too!
Then, the sales clerk told me that "it seems like something is shorting the battery out." I almost busted out laughing for their 3rd rate acting. They offered to send it to Timex to get it fixed, but, I did not want it to incur the charges later on. I've been through that scam road before. I told him, "Nah, it's my everyday watch and I do have another one, forget about it." Then this guy had the gall to say, "Timex is a throw away watch, I wouldn't put much money into it." I don't even recall an apology either. It's a typical Las Vegas business style. Riff-raffs with maggot infested brain from everywhere comes to Vegas to do all kinds of business, including the "Homeless Business." Some of these maggots are so good with their words, that even many of the business owners and human resources would be easily fooled into hiring them. Lot of people here says, "It's who you know in Vegas." Probably true. That's probably why this place is so screwed up in many ways. lol
After living in Las Vegas for more than a dacade, I still don't know who to take my watch to for a simple battery replacement. As a former professional gunsmith, I've decided to take my time, doing it by myself since that incident. I've recently custom fitted a $50 stainless curved end watch bracelet on to one of my favorite watch because the original bracelet isn't made anymore. Yes, I like my watches. Not only that I like them, they have to meet my specific needs.
I don't know where and how these people get hired, but, Fast and Fix was a joke. These people do not know watches, either.
And, "NOOOOO" will I ever go back there again.
I forgot to mention that the idiot repair guy was an Asian or a Fillipino in his 50s, and the rude salesman was a big Black American guy in his retirement age. The staff was different from the two prior times when I was there to have the battery replaced.
