Three or four years ago, I received Luxembourg citizenship. I was in the process of applying for a…read moreLuxembourg passport, which required a trip to the Embassy in Washington DC. So, a week before, I came into the Moto Photo in Glenview to get a European passport photo. The Embassy had sent me instructions on getting the photo taken, which I brought with me. I showed the owner, John, the instructions and he said, "Those aren't right. It's cutting off the top of your head." But I was stubborn and insisted he take the photos per the instructions. He did, of course. When I came back to pick up my photos, John gave me a second set based on what he knew to be right. "There's no charge. But you might need them." A few days later I'm at the Luxembourg Embassy in Washington DC, filling out my passport application. I hand my passport photos to the woman behind the desk. "Oh dear," she said. "These are incorrect. The top of your head cannot be cut off." Fortunately, I had John's second set with me. I showed them to the woman. "Ah yes!" she exclaimed. "These are perfect!" I was clipped head top away from not getting my passport and wasting my trip to DC. A lot of other photo places might have said, "That knucklehead is wrong. But he insisted." And just give me the incorrect photos. But John saved me from my ignorance and gave me what he knew was right. This is one Luxembourg citizen and passport holder who is now a Moto Photo Glenview fan for life.

He was explaining how it was kind of used a lot and beat up. It was going to need to be cleaned up and fixed up. I can agree with that. I said so what would you give me for it.? He said let me see the other one. I said no I want to know how much you want to give me for this one. Well how much do you want? I said how much are you willing to give me for it? He said that we do them as a package. I don't run that way. I understand they want to get the best buy they can. Just tell me how much are you going pay me for the one. If I think it's fair, I'll sell it to you. So he didn't even get to see the second one I was going to sell. It was completely different from the first.

The man who now owns it has nothing but excuses when you have a problem with something that was done. I was supposed to get something after 2 weeks and waited almost 3 months without even getting a follow-up call of why anything was delayed. For what they charge, and the service you get, it is NOT worth it. It had such a wonderful reputation, and the business is going to crumble.

But anyway, someone had jammed a memory card into the Nikon SLR and broke it. No amount of YouTubing could fix it. I was told about Authorized Photo Service in Morton Grove. It is pricey to fix, but this location is local, instead of sending it to a faraway place. I picked it up after a few weeks and it was clean, nicely packed. Hopefully magical photos will develop (do you see what I did there?)

Needless to say that the lens was not fixed in time until I was literally flying back from my trip. I had only used the lens 2 times after that and immediately my camera gave me an error 01 lens communication. I took it to my regular repair guy and spend more money to get it fixed properly. According to him this placed did not use the correct part. Too expensive here and incredibly disappointed, wish I could get my money back.

Communication was inconsistent and unclear. I answered their questions, provided photos, and explained the issue in detail. Despite this, I was told that "nothing is wrong" based solely on photos, without any diagnostic explanation or guidance on how to fix the problem. When I asked directly whether this was an issue they could repair or what the likely cause might be, I stopped receiving responses altogether. No clear explanation, repair option, or referral was provided. I was looking for professional diagnosis or a clear yes/no on service. Unfortunately, the communication and follow-through were lacking, which made it difficult to trust moving forward.

Update: After posting this review, the owner John repeatedly called by phone and DM on Yelp,…read morefrantically pleading with me to take it down. The calls became so frequent that I found them to be alarming and felt the need to report him to Yelp for harassment--clearly, he has an issue! 5 times is way too much!!! BTW, I still stand by my original review. However, for anyone looking for an alternative, I found a camera repair store downtown, called Int'l Camera, that fixed my camera with a NEW part from Sony, not a USED one on Ebay, but without the communication problems and limited store hours I experienced with John. Ultimately, it's up to others to decide if they want to patronize this store, I just chose not to!!! P.S. John don't try to contact me, or I'll have Yelp intervene.
