Default Gauge clock repair

Need to get my fuel/oil gauge and clock repaired. Who would be better to send it to Williamson's or Bob's Speedometer

Don't know anything about Bob's but I had good results from Williamson's. They converted the wind up clock in my '54 Ranch Wagon to 12 volt quartz. The owner called me several times with updates and once to tell me they had mistakenly billed my CC for the full amount without giving me credit for the deposit. They immediately credited my account for the over charge. I also had them give me a quote to repair the temp gauge in my '39 p/u that someone cut the bulb off of it. The quote was very reasonable IMO but I ended up using 2 after market gauges under the dash since I wanted a gauge for each bank of the flathead.

I used Bob's to rebuild all the gauges in my 34 Buick coupe a number of years ago.
They did do a good job, but they IMO ripped me off with the price. If you use them, be
sure to get a firm quote before sending your gauges .
Back then they asked for all the gauges be sent to them before getting a price. I did and the price they quoted was ok. When they were all repaired and the clock changed over to quartz they said they wanted way more than quoted. I had to pay or not get my gauges and clock back.
