This little shop is one of Menlo's secret treasures, and a favorite of mine for many years. Environmentalists should be shouting the virtues of fixit shops from the rooftops; they are about as "green" as a business can get. May it prosper for many more years!

I live in West Menlo Can we have an area designated for this? Live on Santa Cruz, fairly close to Sandhill.
The shop does good work, but they take too long.
T
herefore, have found other places to go, unfortunately.
If they would correc t this situatuion (after many, many years) would take my business back there.

They did fantastic work on our vacuum cleaner, very inexpensively. Saved us a ton of money. It's a great place.

I went in there one day to get some vacuum cleaner bags
and they were fixing a man's toaster. The man had had the
toaster for 40 years-his wife had received it as a going-away
gift when she left teaching!

Been going to his shop too for a few years now, and there is not such a long wait unless you need a rare part. The "fix it" revival is amazing, as that new place, called Tech Shop, for do it yourself folks to build and fix things here in Menlo Park. I love it. Instead of throwing stuff away, you can take it to Menlo Fix It or do it yourself and make friends at TECH SHOP. Let's cut down on waste, folks ok? Even shoe repair is having a revival too!

This shop is a gem. They do good work--saved me alot of money--give me advice and was pleased with prompt service.
