Called to seek advice about my camera. He assisted me same day! Told me exactly what I needed to do and what to get. Very professional, friendly and helpful service! Will definitely recommend and go back in the future. read more

I got great guidance on what to purchase and what my options were for the equipment that I brought in. It unfortunately was too expensive to actually fix. Will definitely return once I have a new camera. read more

Went in for a simple fix for my g7x. Was in and out very quickly, and was told if i ever have problems with my loose screen of my camera just bring it in no problem! Great service read more

I took a camera I inherited to be serviced and was very impressed with the customer service I received at Professional Camera Repair. After discussing my issues with the camera, the tech reset it to factory settings and explained in plain language what was causing my errors. I will definitely go back should the camera need further servicing. read more

Excellent service!!!! Thank you so much for answer my question and solve my problem the same day!!!!

Great customer service. The tech is good at explaining problem, repair options, cost, and alternatives. The tech did the troubleshooting and diagnosis and he did not want to charge for it. He told me to come back if I had any questions. It's hard to find a good honest business that looks out for its customers but this is certainly one of them. read more

High quality work and honest people. I've been here three times: once to fix the pins that I broke by jamming in the battery of my DSLR; the second time to fix it again when I left it overheated in my car; and a third time to get a lens fixed, but they told me that the labor wasn't worth the price. They are my go-to people for camera repairs. read more

I was so impressed by and appreciative of the excellent service I received! I called about an issue I was having with my camera and was going to bring it in for repair. When I called again to inquire about what components to bring in, Yasir had already done research on the issue and partly diagnosed the problem over the phone. He gave me an honest assessment of the cost and pros and cons of repairing it. I was so grateful for his proactive investigation and forthright opinion. I'll definitely be a repeat customer and recommend this establishment to my friends! Many thanks! read more

I bought a used camera, unsure if it worked or not. Took it to Professional Camera Repair today and he not only looked at the camera for free, but he also walked me through tips on preventing damage to the camera in the future. Turns out the camera was in good shape and didn't need repairs. HOWEVER, knowing I had recently bought the camera and was a newbie, the guy walked me through some basic steps and habits and was really nice about the whole thing. He seemed knowledgeable, fair, and nice. read more

Fantastic place to get your camera cleaned or repaired. Very knowledgeable, and I'd he doesn't know the answer, he will be honest about it. That's a very important quality. They also have some good used Canon gear. Honestly, I'm so glad I took my camera in for a sensor cleaning. Great to know this business is there. read more

The BEST customer service and friendliest help! Went in to get help with my camera settings and they were so helpful! Answered all my questions and so patient (newbie here) and even played with my kids while I was getting help. Blow away by what a positive customer experience I had and will be going back for all my camera needs in the future. Thank you so much! read more

Didn't get to buy anything but the owner's and tech are really helpful. I was recommended to other places.

I dropped off my camera to get the body cleaned because little dust particles were showing up in pictures. In general the service is sufficient. I dropped off my camera and they gave me my memory card and lenses back. Then they told me that it will take about a week to get it cleaned. I got my D200 done for $70, and when I came to pick it up they showed me how dirty it was lolol. I think it's a good place to stop by if you are close and need to get your camera cleaned. I do agree that parking is very limited, but I never had a problem finding parking as most people don't stay for long. read more

After dropping my canon 24-70 lens, it created a dent in the ring where I couldn't put a filter on it. So I took it in to see if it could be put back into place. Well a few minutes later and $10 short, it was screwing fine. Sure, I could be nit-picky about them not cleaning the glass afterwards but very pleased overall. btw - this place is run by a family (parents & their son) who apparently have been in this line of business for generations. Nice to support a truly mom & pop shop. read more

Very nice and helped remove an adapter from the hot shoe mount that was stuck. They refused to charge me for its removal. I've used them in the past and highly recommend! read more

Quick, friendly service. This guy does brisk business, so don't be surprised by a line on a Saturday, and parking can be a little tricky. He only services SLRs and larger cameras; as he told one family, you'll spend enough fixing a point and shoot that you are better off just replacing them. My lens survived miles of backcountry and other, more perilous environs but suffered a pretty stupid drop at home. Crunch. Fortunately, the lens was fine, but removing the busted filter ring was going to take a saw, and I figured it best to leave it to the professional. Ten bucks is quite reasonable. I dropped it off on a busy afternoon and had it back one business day later. read more

I went here to get my mirrorless Fuji XT-10 camera sensor cleaned. I've been noticing a lot of dark spots showing up on my photos lately and figured it's time to get it cleaned. Yasir quoted me $95 plus tax for the cleaning and I though that's very reasonable. He called me 2 days later to let me know that lint and dust had become stuck behind the sensor and between the optical glass filter. He patiently explained to me what was wrong and that my camera would basically need to be shipped to Fuji to get it cleaned. He didn't charge me for the evaluation and even cleaned most of the sensor. Thanks Yasir for all your help. I highly recommend this place! read more

Yasir went over and beyond customer service help. I went in with my Nikon D3200 and assumed it needed to be cleaned. I take picture at Rodoe's and get a lot of dirt/sand all on me, so I assumed my camera was needing a deep cleaning. Yasir looked at the lens...then the camera...took pictures and nicely but I totally got the hint "MAJOR USER ERROR"!!! Haha! My pictures would of came out so much better if I took it off landscape! I'm a newbie and still learning. It was such a pleasure speaking to him..he took the time to show me some other really cool functions about my camera. Thank you so much! I look forward on down the line doing business with y'all! read more

Yasir at Professional Camera Repair did a fantastic job cleaning the CMOS on my Canon 10D that is about 19 years old. I will be going back there for all future camera repairs. read more

My girlfriend had a 50+ year old Pentax that had ample sentimental value to her, but has not been working for the past few years. We took it to this charming shop based on a recommendation from Houston Camera Exchange. The staff here was super knowledgable and were able to see that the camera A) was more than just a camera to her and B) discovered that it was a simple issue, easily corrected by the older gentleman behind the counter. They didn't charge us anything and refused payment. Great folks here and PLEASE bring them your camera! Would definitely recommend them! read more

I dropped my DSLR camera and was having focusing issues so I brought it in. The owner was able to figure out the problem right away and was able to get me a solution that was in my budget. On a side note, it's this wonderful little hole in the wall shop that's like stepping back into time or some kind of a museum. Very nice people who know everything about cameras and were so helpful. Very positive experience and it's always good to support a small business when you can. read more

I am not a professional photographer. I am not even a very good amateur. But when my son decided to "help me out" by putting my camera battery in my camera after recharge... upside down and backwards... I knew enough to know I shouldn't be the one to try to remove it. I brought my Nikon to Professional Camera Repair, and within minutes the battery was out and I was back in business. Respectful, quick, and friendly service from a pro! Highly recommend. read more

I goofed with my new Pentax K7. I installed a lens adapter to allow me to use some of my old collection of Asahi Pentax lenses with screw mounts. Apparently I did something wrong and the adapter would not come off. Great. So I looked up camera repair and found Professional Camera Repair on Richmond. It only took a couple of minutes and they had the adapter removed. Then gave me a subtle lesson on how to properly use it. ;-) And on top of my sense of relief at getting the problem fixed there was no charge. I will definitely be taking my DSLR to them if there is another problem. Note: I was able to stop by on a Wednesday morning and there was no traffic or parking problem. I can see how parking could be a problem during busy periods. Also as noted by others, they do not do work on point and shoot cameras. They specialize in DSLR cameras and lenses. read more

Came by with a Nikon D750 after an oversea trip and the mirror flipped. Of course I didn't know that so brought the camera out and complained that the photos are not usable, way too dark, particularly at the center. The guy took a look at it and flipped the mirror back and all was good. He wouldn't even charge me anything saying these things are pretty common through TSA checking. I for sure will be back for other services. read more

I was in Houston for a friend's wedding and had with me a DSLR camera that had just come back from repair with the dealer. I didn't have time to check out the camera before arriving to Houston, so I was panicked when I discovered that during the repair of my camera, the focusing screen was removed and they (NOT Professional Camera Repair, but the dealer repairmen) neglected to replace it, leaving me with a tunnel-vision, nearly unshootable camera the day before a dear friend's wedding. Crisis! The first place in Houston I called wanted $60 just for the focusing screen, so I kept calling around. Luckily I called Professional Camera Repair next; they had the part I needed in stock and only wanted $25 for the screen and the labor to install it for me. Obviously, I rushed right over. During the installation they also started dusting in my camera and were doing such a good job at it that I opted to pay an extra $5 to have them continue dusting to get the camera up to good shape. I work in a camera store, so I know my way around professional photographic equipment and can tell when I'm dealing with someone who does as well. These guys know what they're doing, they're charging a more than reasonable price (many of the camera equipment I saw in their cases while I was waiting was high quality gear--Hasselblads, Leicas, and Rolleis--for a very good price), and they will handle your equipment quickly, professionally, and carefully. Don't even bother calling the other places if you need a repair; just go straight to these guys. read more

Professional Camera Repair has my business for life. I've been in two times now and both times I've been extremely satisfied with the service and knowledge this family-owned business provides. I own a Nikon D610 and experienced a massive mechanical failure while on a shoot one day. I feared the worst and brought it into Yasir to diagnose. Within a few seconds he had identified the problem and unfortunately it needed a specific part that could only be obtained and installed by Nikon (sigh). Even though Yasir couldn't fix it (thanks to Nikon) he told me exactly what I needed to do AND didn't charge me a penny for the diagnosis. I was beyond grateful. SO, when my 85mm became loose and wobbly when mounted on my body, I knew exactly who to take it to! Again, Yasir took a quick look and determined it was a few loose screws and quickly tightened them up for me (again no charge). I have left my camera with him to get the sensor cleaned and can't wait to get it back in a few days AND to see the before and after sample photos! I can not emphasize enough how much I appreciate the quick and extremely professional service Yasir provides. He and his business are a local Houston gem that have my loyalty for years to come! read more

Been here numerous times and although I'm not a professional photographer, it's in my genes and when my big daddy DSLR needed cleaning, the $100 price no biggie, but it was 6 years old and the owner told me about Canon's loyalty program and talked to me about getting a 60D which is much less $ than the 6D but had the features I wanted, so in lieu of $300 repair, will go with his advice and use the loyalty program, appreciate his education. He repaired a zoom lens for my DSLR, which had seen a zip line a little too up close and personal, charge $97.00. Shared with me where to buy a nifty fifty, can't beat the prices and good information. read more

I don't review much but I need to tell you my story and recommend you all check this place out. I use a Nikon and I took a trip to the east coast lately..but I was so disappointed with the outcome of my photographs .. I have these dark grey patches all over my pictures specially the ones that I took with a small aperture size. What a bummer...so disappointed and honestly I was so frustrated. So I googled and tried my hands on cleaning the sensor.. Got a swab and a solution from Amazon and thinking I did an awesome job took some more photographs and when I transferred them to my Mac..holy moly they were literally yakiee!! I have residue of the solution , lint from that swab and whatever oils and dirt was there remained as it was. I was like please give me a break , called up Nikon , they quoted an outrageous price and a 14 days turnaround and i was like no way ...not during the holidays. Started looking for a repair shop locally and I am so glad I found this place. Made a call , told him what the problem was and showed up there with my camera. Yasir is a great guy; very polite and he was so humble. He used my camera and took a test shot. He also assured me that there was no scratches on my sensor and that's a good thing. I turned in my camera and called me today t tell me that it was ready and ohh boy you won't believe it ... Everything ... I mean literally all these spots are gone .. No residue no lint... Nothing!!! It was squeaky clean!!! I couldn't even relate the before and after pictures. Excellent work!!! The price is very reasonable when compared to the quality of the job done..I will have my camera cleaned every year from now and I am never going to another repair shop. read more

I went here to get a small screw for my camera's LCD screen. I was in the shop for about 2 minutes. Guy came back with the screw in place and said he tightened all other screws on the camera (which 1. I did not need and 2. I could have done myself), and then he charged me 5 bucks. I just paid and left, but that's some seriously sheisty Asian shopowner culture right there, and I eat at chinese restaurants on Bellaire all the time. Very booooo on that BS!!!! read more

After mistakingly grabbing and attempting to put the wrong lens on my camera, I had issues. Not knowing what to expect as far as cost and turnaround time for a fix, I headed over here after getting the number from Houston Camera Exchange. $25 and 5 minutes later I was out the door and happy. Although the parking could be a problem if there's a crowd, the lot was empty when I went and had no problems getting out. read more

I had multiple questions about zoom lens repair. They were nice enough to walk me through the pros and cons of repair versus replacement. It seems that they would rather provide good service than just make money. I depend on "Yelpers" to help me make my decisions when it comes to good service. I think they were right about this place being the best. read more

We broke our canon 60D & canon lens 18-200 in a recent trip and had no hopes, but still tried this little shop for any chances. The guy spent half hour to test the body of camera which had less damage and said it was still working. The lens were obviously gone but still very happy to save a piece of it. He charged us no money and gave the best advise. Where would you find such customer service...highly recommend it. read more

Great service! Family ran business that is honest and trustworthy. Great price and quick turnaround!

My father had an old Olympus 35SP which he gave to me. I knew the camera needed to clean the fungus at the lens and probably an adjustment. I wrote to them just before Christmas 16 and they gave an estimate of $80.00 USD, without seeing the camera, just as estimate.. Even said that depending the condition, it may not be worth. After the holidays, when they came back, I took the camera there and ask to take a look... They mention: There is some fungus, so to clean it, will be $32.00 USD... I said OK, go ahead. I know that 80 + 32 was probably about the cost of a camera on eBay, but there is emotional attachment to the camera... When they gave me the receipt, it was marked only $32. I mentioned: Was not 80 + 32? Are you correct? - Yes, the camera is in good shape, so only need to clean the fungus.... Wow!!!! They knew I was there, ready to pay $80 USD, so could have charged me that... But instead, they are very honest people and ask for what was the job done! Also, I took the camera in a Wednesday. They mentioned that likely on the Thursday from the next week it would be ready. The called me on Monday, to say that was ready! I definitely recommend their services. Thank you all at the Professional Camera Repair for the great service you did to this old 35SP... Daniel C. read more

On my recent Mt. Kilimanjaro Clean Water Climb my Canon 5D Mark III, on a monopod and with the flash attached, rolled off the bush it was propped up in and the flash popped off the camera and pulled the shoe out of normal spot on the top of the camera. I took it in to Professional Camera Repair and Yassir was able to fix it on the spot - the screws were not stripped and he literally had me back in business in less than a minute!! Yassir has also cleaned my camera in the past - doing an excellent job as well. read more

They fixed my lens in 5min... I dropped my brand new GH4 w/ $900 lens the 1st week. I was so bummed, The rim on the filter/screw-in hood was really bent. At the advice of a nice lady at Houston Camera Exch., I took it here. They had tools to unbent and removed the old hood. Camera seems brand new again Friendly & Professional ! Highly recommended read more

This guy is gifted. Fantastic repairs to my professional D-90 Nikon camera. Works like new.

Lamp went out in ancient slide projector. First place wanted $85 fee for estimate. I said "I know whats wrong" They said "$85" again. I left. Pro' Camera Repair figured out how to access the lamp (I was doing it wrong), had a new lamp in stock, replaced it while I waited. Cost: lamp plus around $5. Can I give these folks six stars??? read more

For the second time in less than a year, Yasir found the issue in less than 5 minutes and charged me nothing for the evaluation. This time, he saved me over $500. I highly recommend Professional Camera Repair. read more

I am an amateur photographer and I own a Canon EOS 5D Mark II, so when I started seeing spots on my pictures I took it to Professional Camera Repairs for sensor cleaning. You will not find a better, more professional place to get your camera fixed. They are very honest, knowledgeable and helpful. I would recommend them any day. read more
