Carr’s Trophies

In preparation of my wedding, I needed two rings engraved. Carr’s took the time to go over the type of engraving from which I could choose based on my rings’ material, which fonts went best with said material, etc. And the turn-​around was completely reasonable, if not swift.
In sum, I feel Carr’s Trophies acted like a good business should. I would not hesitate to bring anything to them for engraving.

The rate is very reasonable and the engraving is very professional. Be sure you check the hours, but also call because they are sometimes there longer than it states.

I brought in a stainless steel flask to engrave. It was a dirty, dusty storefront, but that wouldn’t have bothered me if the service was good. On the positive side, I mentioned I wanted a bold, energetic font, and Dave & I selected a bold font in italics — I had high expectations. They also delivered in 24 hours.
On the negative side, results were disappointing. The font was thin, and looked feminine (Not what we chose for a font — the gift was for a man.) The «G» looked like a «C.» I asked Dave if he could emphasize the middle bar on the G, and he said no. I told him I couldn’t take it the way it was and Dave shook his head with an attitude.
Also the price for 5 letters was expensive. I asked Dave how much they charge per letter, and he said it depends on their business because they need to make a certain amount of money every day. So I was charged more because it was a slow business day for them?!!
Richard asked if he could help and tried to correct the «G.» I appreciate his effort, but it looked exactly the same after the extra work.

Great service! Had my item ready 48 hours before it was supposed to be (because I begged) and turned out PERFECT! Couldn’t be happier with the service.

This place is great. They completed the task just as asked. The product was beautiful in the end. A+++++ Will do business with these guys again. Dave there who I dealt with is especially friendly and professional.

What a great local business. If you have anything that needs engraving this company has you covered. No bells and whistles but efficient, cost effective and excellent work. Can’t wait to give the gift I had engraved there. Thank you very much.

This is one of the neighborhood small businesses that is heads above others.
Through the seemingly cluttered and dusty interior is a phenomenal engraver. Richard may seem a bit detached when speaking, but he is fantastic as are his friends that help out and staff that work here.
I stumbled upon them when in search for a project that needed engraving on short notice. Since it was a local job that needed several approvals, I want a place that was easy to get to.
Who would have known that I would find a gem! Not only did they do a super job, they went above and beyond when needed! The amazing part was the price! Quality, price, and pride in your work is hard to find. Carr’s is all of that and more.
I promised if another project came up I would be back. A year later nearly to month, I had a much bigger project for them. I needed engraved plates and boxes engraved. I gave a sample idea of what was needed and Richard ran with it. It turned out incredible and the entire job was completed in a timely manor. My first deadline for half the project was met with all but a handful of the entire project completed. 2 weeks ahead of due date! The only reason the handful wasn’t completed was due to damaged boxes not Carr’s. They worked their butts of delivering a beautiful finished project that I am beyond pleased with.
We unfortunately are relocating further away. One thing is for certain, I will take the drive to Richard at Carr’s cuz with little instruction, he can be trusted to do and create something to be proud of.
Being a small business owner myself, I know we work harder and deliver better than anyone else and need word of mouth to keep us going.
Carr’s deserves the shout out!
Here’s mine.

Very helpful, knowledgeable & accommodating. My order was done incorrectly and they fixed it on the spot.

I work for UCLA and have made a few orders with them. The product has always been fine and the pricing decent, but the customer service is terrible. The Manager, Richard, consistently forgets about orders even if I call multiple times to follow up on the status. My colleague was having the same issue with them (him specifically) and asked if she needed to take her order elsewhere. He told her that he was so affected by his meds that he honestly didn’t even think he could finish his conversation with her. WHO SAYS THAT TO A CUSTOMER? I don’t feel valued as a client and will not be giving them my business again.

Fast, courteous. Had a bottle of Scotch engraved and it looks beautiful! Highly recommended. Quick turnaround and fair price.

SUCH A GREAT GUY! I literally came in last minute & he still not only took my mic in but it was ready within HOURS! The ONLY complaint which isn’t really a complaint because I didn’t ask is the font & size selection. I was in a frenzy that I forgot to ask if there were options but even so it turned out BEAUTIFULLY! Please go to this place, you will NOT be disappointed!

Wonderful job on my plaque. I had an odd request and they took care of it flawlessly. Ahh’s engraving on Wilshire tried to quote me two different prices and days of delays but Carr’s slightly beat their price and had it done in a timely fashion. 5 stars!

When you get something engraved, you want it to be done right. Carrs didn’t pay attention to the words I wanted engraved on my mother’s champange glasses and didn’t double check/​verfiy it with me before the engraving. When I went to pick them up, I saw that they messed up my order. They didn’t appologize or offer any sort of solution.

Carr’s is my hero!!! I needed to get something engraved at the last minute for my boyfriend’s birthday, and they were so nice about expediting my engraving! I dropped it off at around 2pm, and it was ready by 5pm on the same day! Absolutely amazing. I contacted a lot of different engraving places, and I was quoted anywhere between 2 days and 2 weeks. And on top of that, the item I wanted engraved had a long scratch on it, which I didn’t realize until after I had arrived to their store. It was too late for me to swap the gift, so Richard even buffed out the scratch for me. For the engraving (initials and a small message) plus the buffing, he charged me 45. I gave him 60 and promised to write him a sparkling Unilocal review. They really went above and beyond. All businesses should aspire to be this considerate to their customers. And on top of it, the engraving is beautiful! :)

One of those old-​fashioned stores with dirty glass windows and dusty shelves. Products line the walls in stacks with no sense of organization. But they are very friendly and I was even able to pick up my gifts after they had closed. The engraving looked wonderful. Highly recommended.
