E Z Frame Fixer

I go here every time I break my glasses which is quite frequently because i forget to take them off to sleep and this man gets them fixed up in like 5 minutes it’s ridiculous. He has the hands of a God and all the parts :) I love this dude and place. Cash only sucks but I guess it’s worth withdrawing money.

Every small business should be run like this one. A great experience. My sunglasses snapped in half. Sadly the metal was titanium, so it needed to be replaced and not just soldered. He repaired it immediately. Good as new. The prices are very reasonable.

fast, effective, and super cheap. I’ll definitely be back.

I have been here three times. Always get what I need. I need to just get new frames but I love them. The owner has made it possible for me to keep these almost 2 years past the limit!

Cash only. He does fix the screw that tso put in wrong on my glasses. It was reasonably priced!

This place is super AWESOME!!! I expected to wait to have my repair completed. It was done in less than a minute & it was so cheap. Great job on my Burberry glasses. LensCrafters wanted me to buy new frames, because the screw was bent.
Bring cash. His credit card reader is being replaced, or call to see if it’s been replaced.

Had a broken pair of nice glasses (dreading having to find a new pair and pay for new lenses, etc + another eye exam) — daughter accidentally broke left arm of the pair. Went to Gene Roger’s optical in North Austin and they recommended this place on East Cesar Chavez. Yes, a God-​send– reasonably priced repair and in 20 minutes!

Absolutely a gem… He fixed my broken arm frames for like 30 bucks and this was a year ago!!! and still strong… Great place oh and he fixed right there in 20 minutes.

The guy was quick, and he got my glasses back to working order for $ 40.
I’m not certain if he takes credit cards, but I think he prefers cash.

I broke my glasses yesterday and based on Unilocal reviews stopped by this little place on E Cesar Chavez this morning. The owner couldn’t have been nice. He looked at the glasses, said he could fix them, that it would be $ 5 and I could wait if I liked. It is so nice to do business with such a pleasant professional.

First class service from the friendly proprietor, who repaired my glasses on the spot — twice in seven weeks! As a visitor to ATX, I could not have asked for better

I had a nice pair of Ray Ban’s that I wanted to repair for well over a year. Brought them by here since it looked like the best spot around town to get glasses fixed. The owner said they couldn’t be fixed in their current state (full broken arm) but if I got the replacement arms from Ray Ban and brought them in he would install them for me no charge. Sure enough a month later that is exactly what he did, in only a few minutes. Would highly recommend for anyone needing some repair work in Austin.

Fixed my broken Nike flexon glasses that had gone out of warranty by putting in a new bridge ($ 60), which was particularly useful since the lenses wouldn’t work in any other frame currently made! Nice, quick service and a great option if you need something to tie you over until you have to order some new frames and lenses which can be quite expensive. Paint job on the new bridge was OK.

I got my glasses repaired here after one of the temples broke off. It was explained to me that it was broken off in such a way that the entire thing needed to be replaced. I was told it would be $ 45 and that he would find a replacement temple that be close to the same color as the original glasses. The color of my glasses are black with a very subtly hint of brown. I finally got to pick the glasses up and it had literally been months because the store is not open on the weekend and closes right at five– I get out of work after five. I was really underwhelmed by the workmanship and the choice of replacement temple. The new temple is a tortoise color and looks nowhere near close to the original color. A solid black temple could have been a better choice. I also noticed that the hinge is loose and the temple wobbles. My glasses now sit on my face crooked and if I decided to wear these once expensive fashionable glasses that now look a little shoddyI will need to get them adjusted. I should have said something when I got them but he was half way out the door and ready to close up when I got there at 4:30 pm and I didn’t really notice what was wrong until I got home. He is a very nice man and I’m sure does great work in general but won’t be going back.

My boy decided to roughhouse a little too much and broke my glasses in two. This fellow had it back together in half an hour, including retouching the paint. Great job, too.

Tried to take a pair of glasses into LensCafters to have a screw removed that the head had broken off of and possibly get the arm readjusted; they took one look at it and said they couldn’t do that kind of repair. However, the woman at the counter gave me a business card for this place.
I called ahead to see if it was something they could do– the owner spent some time asking questions about the glasses, and let me know that if the screw was stainless steel it wouldn’t budge to any drills– but said to come in a let him take a look at it. When I got there he looked at the frames and said it was indeed a stainless steel screw, but he re-​bent the arm and offered to go ahead and see if he could get the screw out anyways.
I came back a few hours later, and he told me that he went through three (!) drill bits trying to get it out (to no avail), and that based on that the screw won’t be coming out any time soon. I went to grab my wallet and pay for said busted bits and bending, but he told me it was no charge! Really happy with the experience and dedication to attempting to fix them. I’ll definitely be bringing any future frames to this place if they need rehab.

Quick service, owner was polite and knowledgeable. Only reason I’m giving a four instead of five is due to the fact that he decided to abruptly get on his phone while he was talking with me about my glasses; a little unprofessional.

Really great place to get your glasses fixed quickly and for a fair price. I took my husband’s pair of Ray-​bans in that had a broken arm, and the owner told me what was possible, given that the arm is plastic. I gave him the «okay» to fix it under the less-​than-​ideal solution, and then took the repaired glasses home to my husband, who quickly determined that the solution wasn’t going to work for him. When I called the owner to ask if we could have a refund, he was very agreeable and gave us a refund promptly. He even let us keep the arm he had affixed to repair the glasses, so my husband could use them as a back up pair, in the future.
Nice owner, good service, fair prices, convenient Central location.

I had an great experience here. I had bought some super cheap classes from zenni online (which are perfect «throw away» glasses that I can abuse, AND they’re stylish). But the «nose pads» were made of some cheap plastic material that was semi-​flexible and kept digging into my nose. So in one of my ongoing attempts to readjust the pads using needle nose pliers so they wouldn’t hurt, I accidentally ripped one of them off.
A quick google search brought me to E Z Frame Fixer on Cesar Chavez– a tiny little shop on the same side of the street as Juan in a Million. I walked in and was greeted by whom I assume was the owner– a very nice gentleman. He apologized for not selling the exact same type of nose piece as was already installed on my glasses (to match the unbroken one), and I insisted that I prefer his products anyway– the much more comfortable silicone pads. He offered me two sizes: large/​oblong for comfort, and small/​round for aesthetics. Both were $ 12 a pair (which included labor). I chose the larger ones. They fit my thick frames and are so much more comfortable. I was in and out in under 10 minutes. I’m really glad I accidentally broke the original pads off.
Excellent customer service; extremely inexpensive; quality product; locally owned; highly recommended.
