I had an expensive desk chair repaired. They did a fabulous job and saved me from buying a new one.
Knowledgeable and great to work with. Tom was able to help out and communicated what needed to be done right away. Would gladly return for a fix.
Tom, this is from my wife Thank you so much for meticulously repairing my antique lamp. I was so disheartened when it arrived by mail damaged.
This lamp means a lot to me and the thought that someone may have intentionally damaged it because it was labeled fragile, saddened me greatly.
But you, through your expertise, were able to repair it and I simply love it!!
There are no words to express my gratitude and appreciation. Thanks a million for caring!! It means so much to me and I am forever grateful. Janet
House cleaner used wrong product on table, damaging the top. She contacted Smart Choice Repair Center. Tom picked up the table, repaired it and returned it to me like new. They did an amazing job. You'd never know the top was refinished. I highly recommend this company and will definitely use them again. Outstanding workmanship and service!!!
In October 2024, I utilized the services of Smart Choice Repair Center.
I have a tall bureau with five drawers on the left side and open shelving on the right side. See photos. I have a sliding panel that covers the right side open shelving when closed giving me access to the drawers. When I slide the panel to the left the panel covers the drawers and allows me access to the shelving.
The wheel mechanisms broke over the years of use. I do not know the brand of my furniture. This bureau is part of a complete set including two dressers and two night tables. I needed to have the sliding panel repaired, because buying a new bureau was out of the question due to it not matching the rest of the set.
I Googled furniture repair and Smart Choice Repair Center was one of the options that popped up. I called two other companies before Smart Choice. They were both referral websites like Angies list. I was getting no where.
When I called Smart Choice, Tom answered the phone. He told me to take
pictures of the broken sliding door and text them to the company. He called back with a quote. I accepted the agreement. Tom came to my house, examined the bureau and took it back to his facility. A few days later he came back to my house and installed the door. It worked perfectly.
The workmanship was fantastic. I saved a couple thousand dollars not having to buy a new complete bedroom set. I was so happy seeing the door functioning so well, I got giddy. Im 64 years old. I dont get giddy, but I did.
I very much recommend using Smart Choice Repair Center. They dont just fix furniture. It seems like they repair almost anything. The price is not cheap, but I definitely got what I paid for.
A very happy client,
Jeff Price
I had a very particular problem with an antique swivel chair. Ive worked on chairs in the past & began to work on this one but the mechanism was too complex. I called Tom at Smart Choice Repair & he had it back to me in 2 days & at a fair price! Highly recommend!
Service was great! Super professional, prompt, responsive and they really know their stuff. Theyre in my network now. Highly recommend
It was a challenge to find someone competent to repair one of the three recliners in our sectional. However, It was my good fortune to find Smart Choice Repair Center on the internet and even better to connect with the amazing Tom when I called. After seeing some photos and asking just a few questions, he was able to diagnose the problem over the phone with a great deal of certainty. Our appointment was scheduled promptly and the work was done efficiently and professionally. My husband and I were not only impressed by Toms expertise but by the uniqueness of this company that repairs almost anything! I recommend them highly.
Really good prices and amazing work!!
If you have anything in need of repair, Tom is your guy. Terrific experience to work with. Honest and fair
My mother gave me a book that had a recording in it and her voice would read each page of the book. She gave me this book almost 20 years ago, so when she passed away last month I pulled the book out so I could hear her voice. The mechanism was bad and after many attempts I could not get it to work as the motherboard had gone bad. I called Smart Choice and spoke to Tom who had worked on a similar book. He was incredible, he was very attentive, stayed in touch with me during the repair process and he ultimately repaired it. I received the book today and my mother's voice is so clear. I am so thankful to him and highly recommend Tom and Smart Choice. great people.
My late mom and I were exceptionally close. She and my dad bought me a beautiful garden fairy around fourteen years ago. I took such good care of the fairy and only put her out in our garden spring & summer. However, sun and rain took a toll on her, especially her wings. When they would rust, I would sand and spray paint them, but eventually, they rusted so badly, there was no hope for them. When I tried to take the wings off the fairy, I put a large hole in her back. My garden fairy was recently shipped back to me. Not only was she packaged extremely well and arrived safe with no damage, I cant express enough how fabulous she looks!! Looks brand new like when my parents first gave her to me! They used a laser machine to make brand new wings and I can't get over how much they are identical to the original wings. You would never know that there was ever a large hole in her back. When the fairy arrived to their shop traveling from PA to FL, her foot broke off in shipping. They even repaired and attached her foot, and you cant even tell the foot was broken. I am beyond impressed and extremely satisfied of exceptional repairs to restore her like new!! Tom, the owner, was wonderful to communicate the status of the repairs with me along the way. Thank you so much for restoring a piece from my late mom that was and is so special to me!! If anyone reading this review has something you cherish and it breaks, dont throw it out. Please ship it to Smart Choice Repair Center. I am very certain you will receive it looking like the first day you got it.
I contacted Smartchoice Repair Center today for the first time. I liked the fact that he has 5 star great reviews. After meeting with Tom to go over my problematic lawn equipment, I was extremely impressed with how quick he was to determine my problem. He was very accommodating and more importantly, he delivered the best customer service. And because customer service to me is as important as the repair, Tom has just obtained a new customer!
First class, very polite
Wheels look superb
Will 100% use you again
Thankyou
Just superb
They are amazinggggg !!!
Tom and his team do an amazing job. I have seen a variety of items get fixed here as I have a delivery and moving biz ... We have had customers send their items here
I could not be happier with how Tom repaired my adjustable bed. He was personable, professional and knowledgeable. I highly recommend Smart Choice Repair Center.
Efficiently & quickly fixed my chair! Friendly too. A little hard to locate at first. Also a bit expensive.
I have been looking for a repair shop for a long time and found this place when I broke a gift I had purchased and needed it fixed asap. Tom really came through and they did fantastic work. It was a lamp though they fix a lot of everything. Great place to know about!! 5 Stars and don't hesitate to call them.
One wordAMAZING. Had a leather couch repaired and conditioned. Im so impressed with the quality of work. Tom did an incredible job! I would recommend their work to family and friends!
Great job! I needed a manual recliner repair & Tom knew exactly what to do to fix it! Very good price & nice guy!!!
Tom was fantastic. He offered many solutions to my issues trying to keep cost down. In the end I chose his best solution. I am extremely happy. He was very business but also social to make me feel very comfortable. 5stars to Tom!
Tom was very informative and helpful in my repairs and service. He showed me several repairs done by smart choice. I will definitely use them again and am quite happy with the results. They also offer pick up and delivery free of charge which works for me.
Smart Choice Repair did an outstanding job repairing my 1790 American drop leaf dining table. They found rolling feet to replace the feet which the movers had completely destroyed. They also repo the broken table leg.
Was there yesterday and Im going to pick up a table right now!!! Theyre so efficient and nice!!
Great people and excellent job!
Tom is very precise and diligent. Super repair shop for any repairs needed. We used his service multiple times and the results were always above expectations.
They were fast! Thanks for all the kind help. If You need Professional asisstance , do not 86
Quick Help for Miami,FL
Thanks Guys
Excellent service, Tom is knowledgeable and polite. They are always prompt in picking up and delivering the furniture. They are also very thorough in their evaluation of the damage and repair that needs to be done and they are very affordable.
We had a complicated and urgent repair: we had overnight guests arriving the following day when I discovered that our expensive sleeper sofa could not be opened. No help from Baers who sold us the sleeper sofa.
I found Smart Choice Repair Center on Google and got an immediate response. They were extremely busy but Tom heard my plight and worked us into his schedule to visit our home that afternoon and assess the situation. It took Tom two visits to repair the damage done by our mover. It turned out to be a complicated repair including welding. Tom was creative and professional - and our guests slept comfortably on the sofa bed.
I enthusiastically recommend Smart Choice and will no doubt utilize their services for any repairs we need in the future.
The staff is amazing here! Helpful and knowledgeable, and willing to do the work to figure out how to solve any of your problems. The owner was very gracious with trying to help me fix a chair I did not even know the true value of. He walked me through everything and gave me options that could save me money outside of him doing the work, which shows true character and good business! Anything I need uto fix moving forward I will always reach out here first.
Oh, and the best employee of all is Jake
The Employees were very Courteous and knowledgeable. Showed me some of the pieces they were working on. Very Meticulous and Detailed with their work. Highly Recommend.
TOM You're are awsome for repairing my massage table! Great service.. thank you
This company is amazing, reached out to them and not 10 minutes went by and they texted me and asked how they could help . The very next day someone called and came out to fix my parents bed so that when my father gets out of the hospital hell be able to sit up in the bed ! And the person that came to fix the bed , all I can say is hes the nicest man that Ive
had the pleasure of meeting in a very long time very personable, respectful professional . Thank you
Outstanding outcomes and very friendly and professional services! Ill recommend and usa again!!!
Helpful, friendly and extremely polite, which can be a rarity.
Thank you
I phoned SmartChoice late in the day. The technician, Tom, very patiently stayed late to try to resolve my problem over the phone. We were all ready to send our remote in when I remembered that he had wondered if the battery contacts were corroded. We didnt think they were but we decided to clean them anyway. Sure enough the remote lit up and worked! We didnt have to sleep on a bed with the head and foot raised , after all!
Thank you!
Tom is extremely knowledgeable. I have had several of my watches repaired by him and would not go anywhere else ! I am happy that I have found someplace to go that can repair ANYTHING !!
They have fixed multiple items for me. From watches to toys to furniture they really do it all!!! Never have encountered a place that can literally fix ANYTHING!!! Truly amazing.
Great service, persistent to find a solution. Antique lazy Susan needed new ball bearings sizes only fitted internationally. Stuck at it and eventually found the solution. Thank you!
I am very impressed with the quality of work and service if my recent repair. I have a very nice sectional sofa that is huge! I noticed it starting to sag and become uncomfortable. It is a sectional and Id have to push it together as well at times the fabric was still beautiful and it was one of the most comfortable sofas I have. I spoke with Tom after much research and was so happy to find a professional and knowledgeable person to accept the challenge of repairing this favorite piece of furniture. He quoted me a price for pickup and delivery and after looking at pictures, gave me a price that I felt was very fair. Well after picking up the sofa, and taking it apart, Tom called to tell me that it had both springs that were badly worn and straps that held the foam and feathers in place and everything had to be replaced. Im sure there was a lot more work than anticipated because most sectionals dont have both anymore. He told me that since he quoted me that original price, there would not be any other charges and he would still try to get it back ti me in 3 days. They did and placed metal brackets to keep the sofa sections together locked into place. I asked if her should do the cushion backs as well since he had it on his possession. I paid a little more but when they delivered my sofa it was even better than when I first bought it 6 years ago! I will refer anyone to this wonderful repair shop and couldnt be happier with their exceptional service.
Tom did an amazing repairing and modifying a glass chandelier for one of my clients. The chandelier is perfect again.
My experience with Smart Choice Repair Center has been nothing short of excellent. Tom really makes the repair process for anything very simple, quick and understandable. My restaurant needed new booths for seating and they have held up stain free and puncture free for almost a year now. I highly recommend using Smart Choice for all of your repair needs.
Tom was great! Went above and beyond what I asked him to do! Thank him again for me.
They took this icebox after sitting for over 45 years in a garage and turned it into this gorgeous piece of furniture. The pictures don't really do it justice but they did an incredible job on this! Will definitely recommend them & will certainly use them again. I wish I had found them sooner!
They did an excellent job repair the leather on my 2 family room couches. The technician was extremely knowledgeable and professional. I would absolutely use them in the future. I highly recommend.
The people here are super professional and nice . The price was reasonable and I appreciate how they dealt with me . My daughter totally destroyed a statue and they fixed it like it was brand new .
Really helpful and friendly got my cabinet put tigether quickly
I had been searching for a Medici Lion Standing with the paw on a ball for almost two years now for my husband for his desk. Finally, I found one in an antique shop in England and paid $80 just to have it shipped. When it arrived, it was broken in 7 pieces, the paws and tail and also there was a crack in the neck. Needless to say, the packer did not use bubble wrap which could have prevented this damage. After several emails with the antique dealer, I was refunded a full refund including my shipping cost.
I almost threw this piece out but decided to search for a restoration company that could perhaps restore this magnificent piece back together. This piece is of an Italian stone/marble and is an exact duplicate to the Vacca Lion that sits in Florence, Italiy. The detailed work is amazing.
I searched on google for days and finally called Smart Choice Repair Center in Boca Raton, which is an hour away. I sent pictures via text and they quoted me a price to fix it. I actually was hesitant at first to use them as they offer a very wide range of repairs. I thought that maybe I should have a company who only specialized in marble restoration. However, I decided to take the Lion to them so that they could personally look at it.
I was quoted 3 different prices depending upon if I wanted a museum or gallery quality piece, or just to have it repaired with perhaps minor restorations visible to the eyes. I settled on the latter and it was the original quote that I was given via text as I didn't want to spend 3 times the amount I had originally paid. I did not care if there were small lines visible to the eye where it had been broken, I just wanted it back into one piece again.
It took them approximately one month to restore. When I went to pick it up, I couldn't believe my eyes. Not only was the work high quality, I could barely see any imperfections where it had been broken. I know that they worked for many hours on this piece by hand and I am extremely happy with the outcome. They even painted the marble stand black again due to a lot of scratches. The glue they used was 100% better than the glue that was used originally too.
Smart Choice Repair Center did brilliant restoration work and I would highly recommend them. I had a positive experience with them and the owners provided knowledge and a commitment that I would be happy with the results.
The first time I met Tom I had a very small job just needing a table lamp repaired. Tom traded my job as if it was just as important as a big job. Tomorrow I bring him my first big project and already have my next two big projects already set up once hes done with the first one! Thanks very much for the great service Tom
I used Smartchoice Repair for a small job and was completely satisfied with it. So used them again for a re-upholstery of a retro swivel chair. Tom was good at keeping me posted as to why it was taking 6 weeks to complete. The only thing I would do differently is I would pick up my items instead of having him deliver as my chair was delivered in the back of an open truck and just glad it was not raining. Thank you
I would highly recommend SCRC to anyone needing repair service. I sent my vintage Louis Vuitton handbag for repair and the box was damaged when they received it and my purse strap was missing. Not only did they do an excellent job in repairing my purse, but went out of their way to find me another strap. They also provided excellent pictures to assist me with my claim. Very friendly, professional, and caring staff! The prices were reasonable as well. Will definitely do business with them again.
We had an issue with our temper peedick base and Tom from smart salais went out of his way to come to our home to repair and fix our problem. He was literally coming back from vacation and stopped at our home to make the repair. He was a wonderful and delightful person and I highly recommend anyone to use his company for any repair need.
Exceptional high quality work/repairs done on both my vintage LV bags!!
These guys were the only place that I could locate in all the United States that would take on the job of repairing a 15-year-old Human Touch Massage chair . Are able to get the parts and to get the job done right then and there a reasonable price.
Helpful and excellent work. I was so happy with the results, will use them again whenever I can!!!
Fantastically talented "Old World" craftsmanship, top notch service
My aunts favorite chair needed to be replaced, problem was she couldnt find another chair the same size that she liked.
Smart Choice repair Center gave us the perfect solution with refinishing and upholstery the chair.It feels new without loosing the character! She loves it and so do I! What a great service for a fair price!
Professional and reliable
Smart choice is an excellent method of saving previous toys or most anything as previous heirlooms and inexpensively. The staff is warm and understanding and curious. The price wasn't bad and the stand by their work. Their aim is to make you happy and I definitely was that!

I am so pleased to be able to send a HUGE Thank You to TOM ZLACHOS for ALL his ASSISTANCE and PATIENCE
this entire last YEAR in dealing with and making possible
the repair of a Singing/Dancing Bear I am returning decades later to my son who will turn FIFTY Years Olde this next Monday...Memorial Day 2020!! Tom, along with his repair partner in crime stayed with/persevered until THE BEAR could once again sing and dance to Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head! which was our sons favorite song during his young childhood!! TOM could not have been more conscientious, professional, helpful and more patient with this sentimental 80 year olde lady from Southern Indiana!
He often went the extra mile in making this birthday goal a reality....even during this horrible pandemic!!
THANK YOU, TOM....REPAIR PERSON...and
SMART CHOICE!!!! I am on my way to the Post Office to RETRIEVE our Raindrops Bear! Blessings to all of you!
BE SAFE!! sandy carter-New Albany, IN
I sent my eagle statue from California to be repaired. They were always responsive to my questions and they kept me updated on the repair progress. My Eagle looks like new. I would definitely use them again and I highly recommend them.
I brought my wife's mothers antique light fixture into SmartChoice Repair for restoration. We were so happy with the great job by Tom and his team. The fixture looks even better than we expected and they also replaced the old wiring so it will be safe for us to use again. I would not hesitate to have them restore any of my future special items.
These guys are amazing! Any figure collector dreads the nightmare of resin shards and broken pieces sitting in less-than-quality packaging. This was my first time receiving a broken piecea support figure for a special maskand I was distraught looking for a repair shop. It's hard to describe my relief and excitement when I found Smart Choice Repair Center. Finding a resin repair place of this quality is remarkable. The before and after photos of their work samples speak highly of their skill, their reviews praised them, and after my experience, they definitely proved their reputation to me!
They were very encouraging and comforting to someone upset over a broken figure! Their representative was very responsive when I called, knew exactly what he was talking about, and assured me they had done many jobs repairing resin figures and similar works. He answered every question I had and allayed my concerns over getting the work done. I sent them images of my figure's damage and they gave me an estimated initial cost of the job and time it would take. We set up an appointment to meet, discuss the repairs, and drop off my figure. The entire process was no hassle at all and very heartening. I felt even better about my decision after getting off the phone.
This place is professional! After I brought the figure, the rep set it on a display mat, reviewed the broken pieces and fit them together to make sure it was in the proper place, asked me questions about the figure's original state, and even checked the website of the figures production company to get references. This wasnt a simple job. The figure was broken in five places, there were pieces missing, scrapes around the broken parts, and the metal rod inside the sculpture to support the mask that hung on the piece was bent out of shape. All things the representative picked up on.
But despite that, he was confident they could fix it. They used the same material the rest of the statue was made from to recreate the missing pieces, fuse the broken parts back together, and strengthen the piece to its original sturdiness. They also said they would either repair or replace the metal support bar inside depending on the damage. And they hand painted the figure to match the original paint job to cover up the repairs, including the bark-like texture the rest of the figure came with! Smart Choice Repair Center takes their work very seriously and they did all of it with pride and skill.
They estimated the repair would take between 4 to 6 weeksit was a complex job and they had quite the busy schedule to tackle before minebut for the quality of their work, it was well worth it. I picked up the completed piece at the end of the 6th week. It looked stunning! Every piece was back in place, secured and strong. Theyd patched the holes, filled the cracks, melded the seams, painted the repaired areas with the matching color and texture, and fixed the metal rod inside! I brought the mask with me and the piece held it without a problem.
I was so happy, I ran out of words a few times. It was amazing repair work and utterly remarkable they were able to fix it, considering the shape it had been in! As for the cost, no, it wasn't cheap, but worth it for this quality, professional work; definitely far less costly than trying to buy another figure. Im happy to say my figure is standing right beside me, holding my precious mask without a single problem, and looking as amazing as my other figures! It brings me joy every time I see it. What couldve been a huge disappointment turned out to be a wonderful surprise.
While I hope I wont have another breakage on any future figures, IF the unfortunate were to occur again, I know exactly where Ill be calling. Smart Choice Repair Center. Theyre professional, theyre skilled, theyre reassuring, and they deliver what they promise. The entire process was smooth and had no trouble from start to finish. Im so thankful that they were able to help me. You guys are awesome!
Had my grandmothers chandelier totally refurbished. It was in a box and hadnt been used since 1990. They did a beautiful job and so looking forward to hanging it in my dining room and showing all my family members.
Great hours..good location..knowledgeable..honest..accommodating
Where do I begin? Tom has done so many jobs for me in my house since I moved in last March. Every job has been completed with attention to detail and the best possible way to get the most beautiful outcome. Tom doesnt take short cuts and cares about the quality of his companys work. The last project Smart Choice Repair Center did for me was to paint my kitchen cabinets and make any necessary repairs along the way. My kitchen looks gorgeous and Tom did a phenomenal job!! I am so happy ;)
They are just amazing, they have repaired several pieces of furniture, today I picked up a 25 year old Louie Vuitton purse that looks brand new thanks to Smart Choice. Thank you again for all tour hard work.
Excellent service, knowlegable and amiable...took care of the problem efficiently, definitely would reccomend
Tom and his workers were very professional and did a great job repairing an antique leaf lamp. Would highly recommend them.
Smart Choice Repair Center is a hidden treasure. They can fix ANYTHING!! They are honest and accommodating. These days when it is impossible to get things fixed it is amazing to find someone capable of doing just that.
Had a crystal chandelier repaired by Tom. It came out beautifully! I strongly recommend this company and it's people.
Tom was so professional to deal with. He and his staff were timely and did beautiful work. My couches look like new! We were so impressed we gave him more work!
Great business and super friendly people! I had some 25 year old Christofle flatware pieces that took unfortunate short trips into my disposer and I thought they would be forever used for just my coffee. They removed most of the damage and polished them up to look like new. I also had an an large metal antique candelabra that broke in 2 and was pretty crooked. Since it was my grandmothers and possibly my great grandmothers, I just didnt want to get rid of it. They fixed it up so it is now in one piece and standing nice and straight. I will soon be using them to repair my patio furniture that didnt do too well during a move. Call before you go. Bonus: their super sweet coworker Jake the dog.
Very professional and thorough and on time not to mention knowledgeable
Tom is reliable, acknowledged and very professional. Service was fast ( same day couch Repair). We recommend with no reservations
Smart Choice Repair is a great choice! My power love seat recliner wasnt reclining, nor was the USB working! Tom came out, was very personable, went quickly to work, and Voila I have a working recliner! Thank you!
Very responsive to my calls and questions. Tom was right on top of my questions.
The Tonka trucks I had in storage for 50+ years came back shiny and like new. Great for my grandson to play with now.
I have another 3 toys Im sending after the new year!
Highly recommended
Sent photo of item to be repaired ahead of time. Received a confirmation and estimate promptly and repairman was knowledgeable, on time and made repairs within estimate. Would use service again without hesitation and definitely recommend their services.
They did a great job repairing my Grandmothers antique cross that fell from the wall and broke into several pieces. They also had it ready for me sooner than promised! Very happy and would definitely recommend them.
Omg! I have one of a kind Foo Dogs from Japan and they were broken in quite a few places. They put them back together and they look like brand new! So excited and so pleased! Whatever you need repaired you must go to Smart Choice Repair! They fixed other items as well and they are perfection! Thank you so much!
Tom was amazing to work with. My 87 year old Dads lift chair had a problem with the foot rest. He came out to evaluate it and then came back to take it to the shop to fix and bring back. He stayed in touch with us all along the way and sent videos. Price was fair. Highly recommend.
The owners Tom and Maria will take excellent care of your precious restoration items.
These guys are awesome!! From start to finish they were friendly and helpful and always easy to get ahold of anytime I had a question. To be honest I was a little nervous at first about shipping my statue off but these guys put me at ease. They sent me pics when they were done before shipping it to make sure I was good with it. They did a fantastic job and Im so happy to have my statue back looking like brand new. Thank you!!!
Excellent and friendly customer service. Most importantly, the repair was done very well. We had severely damaged the finish on a high end piece from RH with a unique finish. We could not tell the piece had been damaged at all once Smart Choice was done with the repair...which took them only one day to complete. Could not have been happier with the result. Thank you to Tom and the rest of the team.

Great service, got next day appointment and they replaced the spring in our garage. The price was competitive with other quotes I got! I couldn't be happier with the scheduling, service, and most of all pricing from this company. If you have any garage door issues, these guys should be the only company you call. I recommend Smart Choice Repair Center..
They did an excellent job repair the leather on my 2 family room couches. The technician was extremely knowledgeable and professional. I would absolutely use them in the future. I highly recommend.
The people here are super professional and nice . The price was reasonable and I appreciate how they dealt with me . My daughter totally destroyed a statue and they fixed it like it was brand new .

I settled on the latter and it was the original quote that I was given via text as I didn't want to spend 3 times the amount I had originally paid. I did not care if there were small lines visible to the eye where it had been broken, I just wanted it back into one piece again.
It took them approximately one month to restore. When I went to pick it up, I couldn't believe my eyes. Not only was the work high quality, I could barely see any imperfections where it had been broken. I know that they worked for many hours on this piece by hand and I am extremely happy with the outcome. They even painted the marble stand black again due to a lot of scratches. The glue they used was 100% better than the glue that was used originally too.
Smart Choice Repair Center did brilliant restoration work and I would highly recommend them. I had a positive experience with them and the owners provided knowledge and a commitment that I would be happy with the results.
The first time I met Tom I had a very small job just needing a table lamp repaired. Tom traded my job as if it was just as important as a big job. Tomorrow I bring him my first big project and already have my next two big projects already set up once hes done with the first one! Thanks very much for the great service Tom
I used Smartchoice Repair for a small job and was completely satisfied with it. So used them again for a re-upholstery of a retro swivel chair. Tom was good at keeping me posted as to why it was taking 6 weeks to complete. The only thing I would do differently is I would pick up my items instead of having him deliver as my chair was delivered in the back of an open truck and just glad it was not raining. Thank you
I would highly recommend SCRC to anyone needing repair service. I sent my vintage Louis Vuitton handbag for repair and the box was damaged when they received it and my purse strap was missing. Not only did they do an excellent job in repairing my purse, but went out of their way to find me another strap. They also provided excellent pictures to assist me with my claim. Very friendly, professional, and caring staff! The prices were reasonable as well. Will definitely do business with them again.
We had an issue with our temper peedick base and Tom from smart salais went out of his way to come to our home to repair and fix our problem. He was literally coming back from vacation and stopped at our home to make the repair. He was a wonderful and delightful person and I highly recommend anyone to use his company for any repair need.
Exceptional high quality work/repairs done on both my vintage LV bags!!
These guys were the only place that I could locate in all the United States that would take on the job of repairing a 15-year-old Human Touch Massage chair . Are able to get the parts and to get the job done right then and there a reasonable price.
Helpful and excellent work. I was so happy with the results, will use them again whenever I can!!!
Fantastically talented "Old World" craftsmanship, top notch service
My aunts favorite chair needed to be replaced, problem was she couldnt find another chair the same size that she liked.
Smart Choice repair Center gave us the perfect solution with refinishing and upholstery the chair.It feels new without loosing the character! She loves it and so do I! What a great service for a fair price!
Professional and reliable
Smart choice is an excellent method of saving previous toys or most anything as previous heirlooms and inexpensively. The staff is warm and understanding and curious. The price wasn't bad and the stand by their work. Their aim is to make you happy and I definitely was that!

I am so pleased to be able to send a HUGE Thank You to TOM ZLACHOS for ALL his ASSISTANCE and PATIENCE
this entire last YEAR in dealing with and making possible
the repair of a Singing/Dancing Bear I am returning decades later to my son who will turn FIFTY Years Olde this next Monday...Memorial Day 2020!! Tom, along with his repair partner in crime stayed with/persevered until THE BEAR could once again sing and dance to Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head! which was our sons favorite song during his young childhood!! TOM could not have been more conscientious, professional, helpful and more patient with this sentimental 80 year olde lady from Southern Indiana!
He often went the extra mile in making this birthday goal a reality....even during this horrible pandemic!!
THANK YOU, TOM....REPAIR PERSON...and
SMART CHOICE!!!! I am on my way to the Post Office to RETRIEVE our Raindrops Bear! Blessings to all of you!
BE SAFE!! sandy carter-New Albany, IN
I sent my eagle statue from California to be repaired. They were always responsive to my questions and they kept me updated on the repair progress. My Eagle looks like new. I would definitely use them again and I highly recommend them.
I brought my wife's mothers antique light fixture into SmartChoice Repair for restoration. We were so happy with the great job by Tom and his team. The fixture looks even better than we expected and they also replaced the old wiring so it will be safe for us to use again. I would not hesitate to have them restore any of my future special items.
These guys are amazing! Any figure collector dreads the nightmare of resin shards and broken pieces sitting in less-than-quality packaging. This was my first time receiving a broken piecea support figure for a special maskand I was distraught looking for a repair shop. It's hard to describe my relief and excitement when I found Smart Choice Repair Center. Finding a resin repair place of this quality is remarkable. The before and after photos of their work samples speak highly of their skill, their reviews praised them, and after my experience, they definitely proved their reputation to me!
They were very encouraging and comforting to someone upset over a broken figure! Their representative was very responsive when I called, knew exactly what he was talking about, and assured me they had done many jobs repairing resin figures and similar works. He answered every question I had and allayed my concerns over getting the work done. I sent them images of my figure's damage and they gave me an estimated initial cost of the job and time it would take. We set up an appointment to meet, discuss the repairs, and drop off my figure. The entire process was no hassle at all and very heartening. I felt even better about my decision after getting off the phone.
This place is professional! After I brought the figure, the rep set it on a display mat, reviewed the broken pieces and fit them together to make sure it was in the proper place, asked me questions about the figure's original state, and even checked the website of the figures production company to get references. This wasnt a simple job. The figure was broken in five places, there were pieces missing, scrapes around the broken parts, and the metal rod inside the sculpture to support the mask that hung on the piece was bent out of shape. All things the representative picked up on.
But despite that, he was confident they could fix it. They used the same material the rest of the statue was made from to recreate the missing pieces, fuse the broken parts back together, and strengthen the piece to its original sturdiness. They also said they would either repair or replace the metal support bar inside depending on the damage. And they hand painted the figure to match the original paint job to cover up the repairs, including the bark-like texture the rest of the figure came with! Smart Choice Repair Center takes their work very seriously and they did all of it with pride and skill.
They estimated the repair would take between 4 to 6 weeksit was a complex job and they had quite the busy schedule to tackle before minebut for the quality of their work, it was well worth it. I picked up the completed piece at the end of the 6th week. It looked stunning! Every piece was back in place, secured and strong. Theyd patched the holes, filled the cracks, melded the seams, painted the repaired areas with the matching color and texture, and fixed the metal rod inside! I brought the mask with me and the piece held it without a problem.
I was so happy, I ran out of words a few times. It was amazing repair work and utterly remarkable they were able to fix it, considering the shape it had been in! As for the cost, no, it wasn't cheap, but worth it for this quality, professional work; definitely far less costly than trying to buy another figure. Im happy to say my figure is standing right beside me, holding my precious mask without a single problem, and looking as amazing as my other figures! It brings me joy every time I see it. What couldve been a huge disappointment turned out to be a wonderful surprise.
While I hope I wont have another breakage on any future figures, IF the unfortunate were to occur again, I know exactly where Ill be calling. Smart Choice Repair Center. Theyre professional, theyre skilled, theyre reassuring, and they deliver what they promise. The entire process was smooth and had no trouble from start to finish. Im so thankful that they were able to help me. You guys are awesome!
Had my grandmothers chandelier totally refurbished. It was in a box and hadnt been used since 1990. They did a beautiful job and so looking forward to hanging it in my dining room and showing all my family members.
Great hours..good location..knowledgeable..honest..accommodating
Where do I begin? Tom has done so many jobs for me in my house since I moved in last March. Every job has been completed with attention to detail and the best possible way to get the most beautiful outcome. Tom doesnt take short cuts and cares about the quality of his companys work. The last project Smart Choice Repair Center did for me was to paint my kitchen cabinets and make any necessary repairs along the way. My kitchen looks gorgeous and Tom did a phenomenal job!! I am so happy ;)
They are just amazing, they have repaired several pieces of furniture, today I picked up a 25 year old Louie Vuitton purse that looks brand new thanks to Smart Choice. Thank you again for all tour hard work.
Excellent service, knowlegable and amiable...took care of the problem efficiently, definitely would reccomend
Tom and his workers were very professional and did a great job repairing an antique leaf lamp. Would highly recommend them.
Smart Choice Repair Center is a hidden treasure. They can fix ANYTHING!! They are honest and accommodating. These days when it is impossible to get things fixed it is amazing to find someone capable of doing just that.

I had been searching for a Medici Lion Standing with the paw on a ball for almost two years now for my husband for his desk. Finally, I found one in an antique shop in England and paid $80 just to have it shipped. When it arrived, it was broken in 7 pieces, the paws and tail and also there was a crack in the neck. Needless to say, the packer did not use bubble wrap which could have prevented this damage. After several emails with the antique dealer, I was refunded a full refund including my shipping cost.
I almost threw this piece out but decided to search for a restoration company that could perhaps restore this magnificent piece back together. This piece is of an Italian stone/marble and is an exact duplicate to the Vacca Lion that sits in Florence, Italiy. The detailed work is amazing.
I searched on google for days and finally called Smart Choice Repair Center in Boca Raton, which is an hour away. I sent pictures via text and they quoted me a price to fix it. I actually was hesitant at first to use them as they offer a very wide range of repairs. I thought that maybe I should have a company who only specialized in marble restoration. However, I decided to take the Lion to them so that they could personally look at it.
I was quoted 3 different prices depending upon if I wanted a museum or gallery quality piece, or just to have it repaired with perhaps minor restorations visible to the eyes. I settled on the latter and it was the original quote that I was given via text as I didn't want to spend 3 times the amount I had originally paid. I did not care if there were small lines visible to the eye where it had been broken, I just wanted it back into one piece again.
It took them approximately one month to restore. When I went to pick it up, I couldn't believe my eyes. Not only was the work high quality, I could barely see any imperfections where it had been broken. I know that they worked for many hours on this piece by hand and I am extremely happy with the outcome. They even painted the marble stand black again due to a lot of scratches. The glue they used was 100% better than the glue that was used originally too.
Smart Choice Repair Center did brilliant restoration work and I would highly recommend them. I had a positive experience with them and the owners provided knowledge and a commitment that I would be happy with the results.
Really helpful and friendly got my cabinet put tigether quickly
The people here are super professional and nice . The price was reasonable and I appreciate how they dealt with me . My daughter totally destroyed a statue and they fixed it like it was brand new .
Company is beyond Good. I live out of state (WEST COAST) needed a remote for my adjustable bed. COMPANY 4 remote quit making the remote 4 my bed. FOUND "SMART CHOICE CENTER REPAIR" on line. CALLED Around to others and no one couldnt help us. HAVING had recent back surgery ..needed the remote or buy an expensive new adjustable bed. SMART CHOICE REPAIR CENTER WAS TO my rescue. They refurbished the ol32d remote. WORKS GREAT. THEY CAN FIX everything. The communication- customer service was excellent also. I recommend them to anyone who needs a repair of anything. So easy, a great company and friendly Thanks many times over. CAN call or text them and they respond! Hj
Great service, got next day appointment and they replaced the spring in our garage. The price was competitive with other quotes I got! I couldn't be happier with the scheduling, service, and most of all pricing from this company. If you have any garage door issues, these guys should be the only company you call. I recommend Smart Choice Repair Center..
They did an excellent job repair the leather on my 2 family room couches. The technician was extremely knowledgeable and professional. I would absolutely use them in the future. I highly recommend.
