Affordable Jewelry & Watch Repair (in Agri Supply)

A jeweler-watchmaker inside the Agri-Supply store in Garner handles battery swaps, full overhauls and vintage watch and pocket watch repairs.

Affordable Jewelry & Watch Repair operates out of a counter inside the Agri-Supply store on US-70 in Garner, just outside Raleigh. It's a jeweler setup with a watchmaker on staff, handling both jewelry work and watch repair under one roof.

The shop takes on all types and qualities of watches, including pocket watches and vintage pieces, alongside full service overhauls. Overhauls come with a one-year warranty. Before any repair work begins, they contact the customer with an estimate, so there's a chance to approve the cost before anything is touched.

Simple jobs like battery replacements are often done while you wait. More involved repairs, jewelry work, or anything needing special-order parts generally run 1 to 4 weeks depending on what's required. The shop is open Tuesday through Saturday, 10am to 5pm, and closed Sunday and Monday.

Given the location inside a large retail store, it's worth calling ahead at (919) 865-7295 to confirm they're staffed and able to take a look the day you plan to stop by, especially if you're traveling in from out of town specifically for the repair.
