Question: "Will a frame that's repaired or welded be weaker than a new frame? I have heard that rebreaks at the weld are common."
Answer: No, quite the opposite. When frames are manufactured, there is a tendency to apply quick spot welds mechanically that unfortunately are often weak. That is why so many hinges separate right at the solder point. When we solder or weld a frame, we infuse much more silver ensuring a strong, long lasting bond.
Question: "When a frame is welded, will it be damaged or discolored to the point that it would be obvious and unsightly?"
Answer: No, it is true that there is some degree of discoloration with some of the welds, but what sets us apart is our ability to refinish the repaired area to the original finish. And we are quite good at that! // But Hotshots doesn't even discolor the spot most of the time, that way we don't have to refinish, saving time which translates to money. That's why we can make so many repairs so fast and for less.
Question: "If I take my frames to one of the large one hour optical chains, won't they be able to do any repairs that I need?"
Answer: No, most Optical stores offer no repair services at all. But by chance your store does, it won't be of the same high-quality as our repairs and may be unsightly or weak.
Question: "Can't I take lenses from my broken frames and re-use them in new ones?"
Answer: No, normally optical stores can't do this. Lenses are specifically ground for the frames they are made for. If you change the lens dimensions by grinding them, (even the slightest bit) it will throw off their alignment. Unfortunately when you break your eyeglasses, you will be forced to buy not only new frames but also new lenses too!...unless you use eyewear repair express™!!
Question: "Isn't it expensive to repair broken eyeglasses?"
Answer: No, not at all, not at eyewear repair express™. All repairs are just $19.95, which includes return shipping. That is very inexpensive compared to buying new frames and lenses.
Question: "Can't Jewelers fix my glasses?"
Answer: Most Jewelers don't repair eyeglasses. Of those that do, they usually are not able to refinish the repaired area properly when the repair is done. They repair jewelry...we repair eyeglass frames! // Jewelers repair gold and platinum, it's a totally different game to repair stainless steel and titanium, and they can't "refinish" nor do they have the parts.
