4 months agoTim responded immediately to my job request, called me 10 minutes later, and was out the next day to start on the job. He frequently checked in to make sure I was happy with how things looked and asked thoughtful questions along the way to ensure a quality outcome for us both. Thank you. -

9 months agoMy experience with Tims's Handyman Shocks was excellent. Although I never met Tim himself I'm guessing he's not only the owner but the main handyman, his Thumbtack profile mentions that he has two other employees working with him, for a total of three. Monica, his assistant and office manager, was incredibly helpful and made the entire process clear and easy. It all started with a simple text message, followed by a phone call to get a better idea of the job I needed done. I needed rear brakes and rotors installed on my 2007 Honda Odyssey because I had no rear brakes left. I could hear the grinding of metal on metal and knew it was urgent and I could not delay the job. Most of the repair shops around me were quoting sky high prices for this job, even for just the rear brakes. I was not looking to spend an unreasonable amount of money, so I decided to save on parts by buying them myself through Amazon at a very reasonable price. Although I had the parts ready, I physically could not complete the work myself since I am disabled. That is when I found Tims's Handyman Shocks on Thumbtack and reached out on a Sunday afternoon. Monica called me at four o'clock that same Sunday and told me that their certified mechanic, Christan, who handles all of their car repair requests, was available to do the job that day! Originally, I had asked for the work to be done on Monday morning, but they were able to accommodate me with same day service, which was a huge relief. Christan was fantastic super professional, polite, and very personable. I would hire him again in a heartbeat. He replaced my rear brakes and rotors quickly, within an hour maybe even less. While the price quoted by Tims's Handyman Shocks was higher than I initially wanted to spend (since I had mentioned on Thumbtack that my budget was around fifty to one hundred dollars), I decided to go ahead and do it because, even with the higher price, I still saved several hundred dollars compared to the quotes I had received from local repair shops. Buying the parts on Amazon and having Christan do the installation through Tims's Handyman Shocks was still a far better deal than any other repair shop offered. Christan also made sure everything was done correctly and that I was completely satisfied before he left. Monica handled the payment easily over text, which made the whole process seamless and convenient. Overall, it was a great experience, and I have saved Tims's Handyman Shocks contact information for any future mechanic or handyman work I might need. Thank you so much for getting this done so quickly, I feel much safer on the road again. I will definitely use Tims's Handyman Shocks again for any home or auto repair. It is clear that Tim's employees really care about his reputation and about taking good care of their customers. I did not expect same day service, but it was awesome! Thank you again for everything! -

FAQ
How does HandyMan Shocks determine pricing for my project?
We provide custom quotes based on the specific details of your job. When you contact us, share as much information as possible about what needs to be done, the materials involved, your timeline, and your location in the Tacoma area. We'll walk through the project with you, explain the work involved, and give you a detailed estimate that breaks down both labor and materials so you know exactly what to expect.
Are you licensed and insured?
HandyMan Shocks operates as a professional handyman service in Washington. We recommend asking about our current licensing and insurance status when you contact us for a quote. This protects both you and our team while we're working on your property, and it's an important part of working with any home service professional.
What types of projects does HandyMan Shocks handle?
We handle a wide range of handyman work including interior painting, drywall repair, deck repairs and installation, appliance installation and repair, TV mounting, fence installation, patio covers, and general home repairs. Whether you need a small fix or a substantial renovation, we're equipped to tackle both. If a project falls outside our scope, we can point you toward the right specialist.
How quickly can you schedule a job, and what's your typical arrival window?
HandyMan Shocks prioritizes fast response times. Based on customer feedback, we typically call back within minutes of receiving a request and can often schedule work for the next day. When you book an appointment, we'll confirm a specific timeframe so you're not left waiting around. We understand that getting your home projects done matters, and we work to accommodate your schedule.
What does HandyMan Shocks do with debris and cleanup after the job is finished?
We clean up after ourselves and leave your home in the condition it should be. This includes removing waste materials, sweeping up, and doing a final walkthrough with you to make sure everything meets your expectations. A professional job isn't complete until the site is clean and safe, and that's how we approach every project.
Why should I hire a professional handyman instead of doing this work myself?
Professional handymen bring experience, proper tools, and knowledge of building codes and safety standards that DIY work often lacks. We've handled hundreds of projects and can spot potential problems before they become expensive repairs. We also work efficiently, complete jobs correctly the first time, and carry insurance to protect your home. For complex tasks like appliance installation, electrical work, or structural repairs, professional installation ensures your safety and protects your warranty coverage.
