Great work. Looks beautiful and works awesome. Quick turnaround time. 13-Jul-23 I have sent Garry 4 cameras in the last 6 months.
2 Minolta SRT-20, Nikon FM and Nikon FE. All came back looking like new and worked flawlessly.
Almost expected to him say one of the Minolta's not repairable but it works great now. The Nikon FM had lines in the view finder.
My FE had a slight light leak. All look in Mint condition Garry is the best in my opinion and appreciate what he does and his prices are very reasonable.
15-Feb-23 During Summer I had Garry refurbish five Canon cameras - AE-1, two A-1s and two new F-1s. 08-Jul-22 Garry did a fantastic job on fixing my Pentax K-50. The turn around was incredibly FAST, about 9 days. I was shocked when it was back in such a short amount of time.
The quote on the repair was accurate and there were no hidden fees. He was a pleasure to work with, and promptly answered any questions I had via email. You can't go wrong!
Plus my camera is no longer an expensive door stop. Yea!
Thanks Garry! 21-Jan-22 Garry has serviced three cameras for me in the past 9 months or so, and has always done a superb job. Prices are very reasonable, turnaround time is truly 7 days as advertised (6 days on this last one), and always a pleasure to deal with. I wouldn't have an SLR serviced by anyone else.
The three he has serviced for me so far are a Pentax MX, and Minolta X-570 and SRT-101. Thanks again to you and your team. Keep up the fine work! 27-May-21 The film advance on my Minolta X570 was broken. Garry repaired that plus another item I missed on the repair
request. It was done very quickly but the return trip was slowed by USPS issues.
Well worth the wait. 08-Jul-20 I received back in the mail
today my Minolta SRT-201 that Garry expertly serviced. I was completely blown
away. It looked like completely new camera and even my wife though so too. Our
sincere thanks for your dedicated and outstanding craftsmanship. he is
incredible and will be using his service again.
11-May-20 Garry restored two of my Minolta XE7s last month that i bought used on
EBAY He did fix them like new again. He does great work at affordable prices. I have an XG1 and a Canon A1 that I plan to send him
soon. I'm really glad he has this service. I Just got my camera from
Garry. He did a great job. The camera is now as good as new. 18-Jan-18 I dug out my Canon A-1 that
I haven't used in years. Noted that it had a typical Canon squeak. I contacted
Garry and sent the camera for CLA. Camera was retured in quoted time at a very
reasonable cost. The squeak is gone and the camera looks almost like new. Thank
you Garry.. 23-Dec-17 Garry did an excellent job
repairing my Canon AE- 1 Program's shutter squeak and light leak. The turnaround
time was way faster than expected and the communication with Garry has been very
efficient and helpful. I would recommend his service to any friend 08-Feb-17 Just got my Canon A1 back
from Garry's. This is my second Canon repaired by him. If he is not the best in
the business I don't know who is. This is the the way a business should be run -
the old fashioned way. Get it done the right way the first time. 13-Feb-16 I had my Nikon FE2 repair
by Garry's Camera. The price to repair the camera was very reasonable and from
start to finish Mr. Airapetov was clear in communication and a consummate
professional. My camera came back very clean and well packaged and in great
working order. The camera was repaired and return shipped back to me within 1
month. I would not hesitate to send a camera to Garry's Camera in the future and
I am please with the results. 03-Mar-15 I recently had a camera
repaired with you and had received it in the mail a few weeks ago. I wanted to
take the time to express my appreciation for the service you have performed on
my camera. The camera looks and operates like new, I am amazed! 19-Jul-12 I sent my camera to two
professional repair facilities. Took over a month for them to say "Unrepairable".
You took care of it in less than a week. 24-Jun-12
This morning I received my SRT-102 in the mail from Garry's
Camera Repair.� The camera looks great and works perfectly.� Garry had repaired
the film counter, repaired the advance mechanism, performed a complete CLA and
overhaul including shutter unit lubricated and adjusted, cleaned release magnet,
run time speed adjusted, lubricated winding mechanism, calibrated, exposure adjusted, replaced
light seals, replaced mirror cushion, cleaned viewfinder/prism and cleaned
externally/internally.� His total repair cost was $45 plus $8 shipping.� I am
very impressed with his work and highly recommend his services.� He's truly a
professional that takes pride in his work.
10-Mar-09 All I can say to Garry and
his staff is thank you, thanks you, thank you. I sent him my X-570 that was
locked up. They fixed the problem, did a complete CLA and got it back to me in 7
days. If you're looking for someone to fix your classic, look no further. 1-Jul-08 Received four Canon FX's
back from Garry's today. Excellent. They are cleaned, the controls are tight,
the shutter snaps like new. 13-Sep-07 What a great deal! I sent
in my Minolta X-700 and Multi-Function Back for service and I was amazed when it
returned to me a week later. Now, thanks to Garry's, it's flawless. No more
sticky shutter, no more light leaks, no more underexposed photos. And to think,
all of this for half of what others charge. I just received my Minolta
X-570 from having Garry's repair it after it totally locked up on me. All I can
say is WOW. It was out of my hands for just over a week. The turnaround time was
incredible and the camera looks brand new. I can't thank you guys enough for
taking care of my camera. There are more on the way and I'll never go anywhere
else. Your service greatly exceeded my expectations. Thank you. 27-Apr-07 I just wanted to say thank
you for your excellent service. I sent you 3 cameras and the workmanship is awesome.
I would highly recommend you to anyone needing a camera repaired. You are prompt
on answering questions and and the turnaround time can't be beat. Keep up the
great service. 16-Apr-07 My camera Fuji S5000 is
working now. Best service and price. I would highly recommend Garry's Camera
Repair to anyone. Thanks for doing a great job. 15-Apr-07 I sent my Canon AE-1
Program to Garry's with shutter squeak and slow shutter speeds and he fixed it
up good as new in just about a week. I heartily recommend Garry's Camera Repair. 02-Mar-07 My Canon A-1 that you
repaired a few weeks ago works just like it did 25 years ago when I bought it
new. Exposure is right on the money, no more shutter squeak and the new seals
look just like factory. Thanks for the great job and quick turnaround. 02-Jan-07 My recently purchased Canon
A1 abruptly quit after just one roll of film. Most repair shops I spoke with
said it would be expensive and impractical to repair. Since I had nothing to
lose, I first e-mailed Garry explaining the problem and then shipped the camera.
I received it back in under two weeks and it works perfectly! Garry's has
amazing service, excellent communication, and I'd recommend them to anyone I
know who owns a classic camera. 02-Jan-07 I purchased an X-700 on
eBay at a very reasonable price and when I received it the shutter began to
stick. After seeing Garry's Camera recommended on a web site and his charge was
reasonable especially compared to Wolf camera who wanted a $140.00 right off the
bet. I received my my camera in the time promised and I'm surprised and
satisfied with the service and my X-700 which I love. Thanks Garry. 03-May-06 My sister's AE-1 was DOA
and Garry brought it back to life. Performs as new. Many thanks, Steve. 15-Apr-06 Wonderful job. Very good
work on both my Canon AE-1 and A-1. I wouldn't hesitate to deal with again. 07-Mar-06 Just got my X-700 back. The
work is superb and service commendable and the turn-around time only four days.
The price charged was the best you will experience. Thanks Garry. Recommending
you to many students and friends. 14-Jan-05 I sent my X-700 for repair
because the electronics went dead. I was skeptical of Garry's low prices, but
figured as I wasn't going to pay $100.00 to repair it I'd only be risking
$40.00. I got the camera back in perfect working order a week later, so I'm a
very happy customer. 27-Dec-04 Camera hadn't worked in 15
years he had it fixed and back to me in less than a week. I recommend him to
anyone with a camera. 02-Nov-04 So far I've sent four
cameras and the cameras were repaired at his stated price and returned promptly.
He has responded promptly to any email or questions I've sent. I'll continue to
send him my camera repairs. Thanks. 13-Oct-04 Just received my camera
today. It only took a week from start to finish and it looks great. Thanks
Garry. 30-Aug-04 I sent my Minolta X-700 for
repair. Shutter wasn't working properly. I had it back within 2 weeks and it's
working great once again. He did a great job and I would use him again. 17-Jul-04 This guy is good.
Reconditioned my camera in a very timely fashion. Highly recommend. Thanks
Garry. 26-Jan-04 We have a great working
Minolta XG-7 thanks to Garry's. Quick turnaround was 5 days at Christmas time.
Highly recommend. Thanks again. 20-Jan-04 In the 30 years I have been
enjoying photography have never run across or been fortunate enough to find such
a company as Garry's Camera Repair. Great service, good quality, fair pricing.
Thank you very much. 05-Jul-03 Excellent prompt service.
Sent in a Minolta X-370 for repair. Works great now. 03-Jun-03 I received the Canon A1,
which you repaired. I couldn't be more pleased with the excellent work and very
prompt service. 02-Apr-03 11-Mar-03 03-Feb-03 07-Feb-03 03-Feb-03 20-Jan-03

In all cases there were problems ranging from shutter capping to a loose base plate. Garry did a superlative job refurbishing these camera.
His service is fast, very reasonably priced and very professionally done. I recommend him highly.

Great service. Thanks
Garry. My 25 year old Canon AE-1 is like new again, viewfinder is clear and calibrated.
The shipping took took awhile, but no fault to Garry. The USPS just took awhile
for my camera to arrive. Next time around I'm requesting to ship it back to me
FedEx 2nd day service or USPS Priority instead of Parcel shipping.

I bought a Canon AE-1 on eBay.
When it arrived, it was in pretty bad shape. Bad seals, loose lens mount,
sticking shutter etc. I sent it to Garry's to be fixed up. I received it back in
on the day they said it would be here!! I have shot a roll of film with it and
it works GREAT!!! Good service, fast turnaround, good price...what more could
you ask for?
Vincent Fasso
Eminence, MO
Outstanding service. I sent
my Canon AE-1 for repair and general tune up. The camera is like new again. The
service was extremely fast as well, had the camera back and the cost of repair
was well below that of any other repairman I looked into. I am getting ready to
send my other AE-1.
