Description of Work: My well used canon no longer had a working flash and greatly needed cleaning and rehab--I'm not really sure if 90$ was the cost but I thought it very reasonable

Went in for an estimate for my Canon SD 1300. I received an estimate on the spot and asked the salesperson how much my camera was worth (to help me decide if you was worth repairing). At that time, the salesperson went on the computer and very quickly told me how much the Amazon.com price was for my camera. The staff were very pleasant and helpful.
Description of Work: I had an estimate done on the spot.

No pain at all. Knew exactly what was wrong. Very pleasing experience. I've been using the D300 on a professional level for over a year after the repair and no problems at all. This is my new go-to team for any time I need this sort of service.

I have had a number of cameras and lenses repaired at Kurt's. They are better than my camera manufacturer's repair service. They do better quality work and their service is personalized. They answer any and all questions, are honest, and will save parts for you if asked. The service at Kurt's Camera Repair is better quality than the manufacturer's warranty repairs that I've had done in the past. Prior to Kurt's, my experience has been with Canon and Nikon factory repair, and I prefer Kurt's.
Description of Work: They repaired the automatic lens cover on a pocket camera.

Overall a positive interaction. The only reason I gave them a B for professionalism was that when I dropped of my camera, they accidentally gave me the receipt for another person's camera. I partially take the blame because I didn't really look at it to notice that it was for a different camera, but when I went back to pick up my camera this created a lot of confusion. Luckily they were able to locate mine eventually and everything turned out OK in the end.
Description of Work: Had them troubleshoot noisy/grainy pictures in my Nikon digital SLR. They also identified a problem with my autofocus drive, although I chose not to have it fixed.

Fast service. No cost. Who could ask for anything more?
Description of Work: Could not focus the camera manually. Gentleman behind the desk took in into the back room for five minutes and returned with it fixed (reinstalled the focusing screen). No charge. I've tested the camera and it now focuses properly.

We couldn't have asked for more. Other customers seemed to be treated with similar professionalism and promptness.
Description of Work: We were greeted immediately upon arrival. Digital camera symptoms were determined. Technician in back immediately diagnosed and fixed battery connection problem at no charge. We highly recommend this company!

Great.
Description of Work: My Sony camera shutter would not close. I went to another company and was told it would take approximately eight weeks and cost $300.00. I located this company on Angie List. They quoted me a reasonable price and gave me a pick up date of approximately two weeks. After dropping the camera off they called and indicated the part needed had been on backorder for several months and if they could fix it without a new part would that be okay with me. I agreed. The camera was ready a week early.

Lens would not retract on my Sony digital camera. Sony wanted $185 and said there was no repair facility in California and I would have to send it to a company in Conn. Kurtz repaired the camera for $98 plus parts and had the camera ready on time, two weeks from when I dropped it off.
Description of Work: Camera was repaired to allow the lens to retract.

PRETTY GOOD REPAIR, HOWEVER, WHEN I RETRIEVED THE CAMERA, THEY HAD FAILED TO RECONNECT ONE OF THE LEVERS ON THE CAMERA. REPAIRED IMMEDIATELY WHEN I BROUGHT IT TO THEIR ATTENTION.

VERY PLEASANT. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I USED THEIR SERVICE. THE OTHER TIME WAS TO REPAIR MY CANNON ELPH CAMERA WHICH THEY DON'T MAKE ANYMORE. THEY FIXED MY SONY CAMERA TO NEW CONDITION AGAIN AND IT WORKS LIKE A CHARM. THEY EVEN REPLACED A SWITCH ON MY ELPH CAMERA AND DIDN'T CHARGE ME.
Description of Work: FIXED MY SONY CYBERSHOT DIGITAL CAMERA. IT WOULD NOT TURN ON AND IT HAD AN ERROR CODE ON IT. REPLACED MECHANISM INSIDE CAMERA FOUND OUT IT HAD BEEN DROPPED TOO MANY TIMES.

THE WORK THEY DID WAS FINE AND WHAT THEY CONTROLLED WAS ON TIME, BUT THEY HAD TO ORDER A PART FROM NIKON AND IT TOOK MONTHS TO GET IT. (I'M VERY UNHAPPY WITH NIKON, BUT THE FOLKS AT KURTS WERE FRIENDLY AND APOLOGETIC ABOUT THE DELAYS.)

THEY WERE THE ONLY CAMERA REPAIR SHOP IN TOWN. THEY LOOKED AT THE CAMERA WHILE I WAS THERE AND CALLED ME IMMEDIATELY WITH A QUOTE, ONCE THEY HAD DETERMINED WHAT WAS WRONG. THE CAMERA WAS WELL OVER $500, SO THE PRICE WAS A GREAT DEAL CHEAPER THAN BUYING NEW.
