A bag puller replacement was handled with communication before the work began.

Tips for a Better Visit
Confirm materials. For shoe-heel work, ask which sole and inlay materials are available before approving the job.
Request updates. For service-centre work, ask for confirmation before repairs begin; one bag customer received that communication.
Check documents. If submitting sensitive documents, ask whether they will be deleted after processing.
Ask turnaround. For small jobs, ask whether they can be completed while you wait; one customer received keys in a minute.

The Bottom Line
Minutes is a repair and personalisation shop in Umm Hurair, with the Wafi Mall branch handling everyday fixes rather than just selling accessories. Reviews specifically point to phone repairs, watch work, engraving, key duplication and visa photos, with several customers describing quick turnarounds. ” A watch winder box was also repaired to working order, while laser engraving on a bag and engraving on a watch box were praised for their finish.
Communication is another practical strength. A bag customer said the team contacted them before proceeding, and a shoe-repair review noted that staff explained the available sole and inlay materials and messaged when the shoes were ready. Visa-photo help and business-card printing also appear in the reviews, so this is useful for small errands beyond repairs.
There is one clear caution: a customer paid 150 AED for shoe work and reported receiving unclean shoes with poor colour restoration. If you need shoe cleaning or leather restoration, confirm the exact work, materials, finish and price beforehand. For documents, ask about deletion after processing; one reviewer said this was assured.
