Really happy with the results
I found this service to be cost effective and efficient, a stone fell out of one of my rings, not only were they able to reset it and make it much more secure than it ever has been? The final clean was impeccable - it looked brand new when I got it back.
Professional and Welcoming Service
Always a friendly, thorough and professional service.
Friendly and professional local opticians
Having previously been to "a popular High Street chain" and been largely dissatisfied with every aspect of the service I wanted to find something local and more personal to my needs. The moment I walked into Wilkies I was given a warm welcome, the service was exceptional and I felt confident in both the test and the fitting of new glasses. All the staff knew what they were doing, made good suggestions and I felt comfortable that I was not just another customer on a conveyor belt who was interrupting a tea break! There was no pressure to go for any particular frames and Jude provided expert guidance in what "looked right" for me as well as going to one of the other branches to see if there might be something more suitable. I look forward to finding a suitable second pair so I can take advantage of the discount offer.

My Longines watch had stopped working.It was complicated to fix, as it was old.I am guessing the parts had to come from Switzerland. This meant the cost and the time would be expensive and take a long time.
I was contacted by a member of your team, to give me a quote. There were a number of follow up calls.
I have listed the date the watch went in, I picked it up on 26th May.
Staff were all pleasant and professional

Eye test at Wilkie's Dumbarton
I went to Wilkie's for my annual eye test . The staff were friendly and helpful and the optician both knowledgeable and helpful . I would definitely recommend this optician.
Have gone to Wilkie's optician for 60+ years and have yet to find anything or anyone to complain about.

Wilkies Eye Care experience.
I have been going to Wilkie Eye Care for several years now, and the service and professionalism has always been top notch. They may not be the cheapest Opticians around, but you get what you pay for. I am happy to recommend them, and confident that should you try, you won't be disappointed.
