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.

During Summer I had Garry refurbish five Canon cameras - AE-1, two A-1s and two new F-1s. 
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.

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!

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!

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.

Our sincere thanks for your dedicated and outstanding craftsmanship. he is incredible and will be using his service again.

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 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..

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?
