Professional Camera Repair

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.

The amount of help I received from this small family owned business was tremendous. They treat everyone with the utmost respect and their service is a 100% quality. These people are very honest and their work is awesome. I will always recommend them for any camera needs!

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

I actually signed up for Unilocal to write this review!
One night, I was cleaning the lens on my camera. My nephew is in town visiting right now; he looked on with curious eyes. After walking away for 10 minutes, I returned to him attempting to clean my camera’s ‘SENSOR’ with a q-​tip. I took the lens off and the body cap was on. The fabulous thing was, he was careful as he tapped, much like me tapping the rear of the lens to clean it. There was dust and q-​tip lint all over it. Talk about MORTIFIED! I tried many attempts to blow it off with a rocket — nothing helped. There are several camera repair shops in Houston. I googled each one. After a careful search, I decided to use Professional Camera Repair in Houston, Texas. I was greeted the next morning by Yasir. He was a very polite guy, dressed in a black shirt with the Italian flag — black latex gloves. I proceeded to tell him of my delimma, but he tells me it’s okay. We did a quick check while I was there and thankfully the sensor wasn’t scratched. He gave me the price and the turn around time, and I was on my way. I initially thought they were a little on the high end, but, hey, you pay for the best, right? I feel I paid TOO LITTLE for the job he did. I picked up the camera today and the sensor photo looked AMAZING! He even discovered an issue from the factory which he mentioned initially that that’s probably what it was!
I want to thank Yasir and his family so much for the services they provide. I’ll definitely be using them from now on, and well into the future!
If you need professional repair or cleaning for your camera, this is definitely the place to go!

I just left there with my camera which hadn’t worked in almost a month now I find out that it was simply that the lens was stuck and they fixed it for me immediately they are awesome I will return whenever I have a camera issue

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.

Dropped my camera and crushed the filter badly. Took it in and at no charge he removed the damaged filter and cleaned the lens. Then refered me down the street for the replacement part that he didn’t have in stock. Urge you to use these guys whenever you need repairs. It’s unusual to find honest and hard working people. You’ll find it at professional camera repair.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I dropped by to have a couple of cameras looked at. The service was quick and friendly. Parking is limited.
I didn’t get my cameras repaired at the location, but I will keep in mind to bring service items here again.

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.

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.

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!!!
