Frame Fixer

My two year old broke his older sister’s glasses recently, and I wasn’t too excited about buying her a new pair (we’d shelled out some serious mulah for her designer frames). The eyeglass store where we’d purchased them said that they were irreparable, and that we’d need to get new frames. My dad, who has been a serious recycler (is «recycler» a word?) long before recycling was cool, recommended trying Frame Fixer.
Frame Fixer is an modest, inconspicuous shop located in a little strip mall next to a nail place — unless you knew it was there, you’d probably never see it. The owner was very kindly — he asked how I had heard of him, and when I told him my dad had recommended him, he said «please tell your father hello and thank you from me.» Nice. He inspected the frames, explained that he could replace the hinge with a non-​spring hinge, but otherwise they would look and operate the same. He quoted me a price, wrote up a ticket, and said he could have the repair completed in a couple of days. I thanked him, and as I was leaving, he folded his hands in front of him, bowed his head, and said «many blessings to you, and may you and our family stay safe.» It startled me at first — I’m not accustomed to receiving blessings from repairmen, or any other business owner for that matter… but his face and his smile communicated his authenticity and sincere gratitude. How’s that for service with a smile? :)
I returned a couple of days later, and the repair had been made as promised. My daughter’s glasses looked and functioned as if they’d never been broken. His prices were reasonable, and a bargain considering what it would have cost me to replace my daughter’s glasses. I do love me a good bargain!
Before chucking those «irreparable» broken frames, give Frame Fixers a try.

If you sit on your glasses or otherwise bust up the frame — go to this guy. the Frame fixer is the name of the business and that is not where the straightforwardness ends. He takes a look and if he can do it he will tell you and he will tell you what he has to do and how much it is. Sometimes right on the spot (as in my case today) but at most it takes a day depending on the job.
And it is affordable (I am hesistant to say cheap because the repairs and the service are not but his prices are).
I have been here about 4 times — Everytime excellent!!!
It is cash only but that translates to better prices for you and I am personally a fan of that because it is sticking it to the credit card companies, banks, and merchant processors who take advantage of us and take our money.
I am so thankful his business is on Unilocal because I wanted to write a review after seeing him again today. Speaking of thankful he is always thankful for your business and always says thank you. He is the most personable technician type guy I have ever met.
Straightforward, still personable, and just plain great!
This is proof that good business is still alive in Tucson!
