Camera Care Center

Looking for a school photo manual camera
Small selection however the quality of the equipment was good
Found what I was looking for at a fair price

We have an old 35 mm that my son uses for school. The winder knob broke so we went and purchased just the knob while we were running errands. We did not have the camera and showed the owner a picture of the camera. The part was about $ 30. When we got home, we realized that the problem was more than the knob. A couple of weeks later, we went back to this place and brought the camera and knob to be repaired. He fixed it for free. This place seems very honest to us.

Sayed was exceptional and I’m so happy there’s a great camera shop that’s close to my work that I can rely on.

Just went here to fix my Linux
syed analyzed it and fixed on the spot. and didn’t charge me anything. Very honest businessman! I would recommend camera care center to my best friends! I will be using this store for all my camera care needs going forward.

AVOID AT ALL COST!!!
If you want to get ripped off go there. I’m some what new in photography and bought a second hand Canon 17 – 55 f2.8 lens. Right away I had focus problems so I took it to Professional Camera Repair down the street from them. The owner was so nice he even check out my lens with me and found no problems. So I took it home and tried again, still had a lot of out of focus shots. I decided to get a second opinion and took it to Camera Care center. They said they would call me in two hours. 5 and a half hours later I called them to check on my lens (not a big deal). They acted as they didn’t know what lens I was talking about and then a lady got on the phone and in a panicked voice ask me when and I dropped it off and what kind of lens it was. Then she basically just hung up on me, a few minutes later she called me back and started telling me that it need a complete new motor, seals, rebuild kit, calibrating… The only number I remember hearing was around 500 bucks, I paid 875 for the lens that is basically in new condition from what Professional Camera Repair had told me. Not only did they not check my lens out they LIED and said it needed major repairs just to take my money, You might be wondering how I know this for sure, well I took the time to mark the back plate screws that must be removed in order to disassemble the lens before I dropped it off. I can say with 100% certainty that the screws were never touched or removed. To make sure this was how they tested it, I ask how they tested it and the owner said they took the back lens plate off and went inside. LIE LIE LIE!
I took my lens home and with guidance from others I tested it again. Like the owner at Professional Camera Repair told me, it was user error on my part. The lens works fine once I learned how to use it correctly (remember I’m new at this).
So if you want to get ripped off take your equipment there, these people are very dishonest. For me, if I ever need any repairs done again I will take my equipment to Professional Camera Repair where the owner choose to not make dishonest money off of me and give me a honest diagnostics of my lens.

Do not take you equipment to this man. HE DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX NEW TECHNOLOGY! He broke my camera while taking it in for a cleaning and blamed me. He scratched my sensor with a massive gash told me that I did it. Now I have an expensive paper weight. Take the time and send it back to NIKON!!!

I highly recommend this honest and trustworthy business! The battery cover on my camera (Nikon Coolpix L22) recently broke while on vacation. I called several repair places and was told it wasn’t worth it to fix a «point and shoot.» When I called Camera Care Center, the owner said Nikon no longer carried the part. However, if I found the part, he would install it for free. I got lucky and was able to locate the part on eBay. The owner kept his word and installed the new cover without charging me a cent. And he never tried to sell me a thing – just handed me my camera with a smile!

Friendly, fast and knowledgeable. Most of all, trustworthy. Best in Houston.

DONT GO! BROKE MY CAMERA AFTER NOT DECIDING TO HAVE IT REPAIRED WITH THEM
Thought this was a great place considering the diagnosis is free. Yet theses people turned out to be incredibly rude and unprofessional. After diagnosing the problem rather quickly (one good) they found am issue with the circuit board and were going to charge 280 $ 70 was for service. KEEP IN MIND THIS WAS THE ONLY ISSUE MENTIONED. Given the camera was only 400 it made no sense to spend that kinda of money and they understood telling me to pick up the camera, the following day. I arrived a few days later after they had called twice that my camera was ready. Upon arrival the lady at the front deal was incredibly rude she instantly attacked me for not choosing to get it fixed and insisted other people pay more, she even questioned the price of the camera and under her breathe said fine your decision as she walked away. Come to find out my camera was still in a million pieces! After harassing me to get the camera and it wasn’t even ready! On top of that I found a deal on-​line that fixes the same issue for 90 $ just proving how much of a rip off this place was to start with.
Thinking everything was finally settled and the new company would fix the dead circuit board i recieve a phone call asking if I had taking the camera apart myself. Apparently Camera Care center had not only incorrectly put my camera back together but they managed to break 3 other devices within it!
If it wasnt for there understanding and having constumers who had had previously dealt with them I would of had to pay an addition 200 for the damage that the camera care center had done!
I have yet to contact them again but have no doubt this is extremely unlawful and in no way should they continue to rip of and misstreat customers the way they did.
dont to mention the store is no more than a shack and looks like the door is about to fall of any min.
ohh and for the uses a visa thats an additional 35 $ so be prepared to fork it out

Awkward parking, tatty frontage, slight language difficulty sometimes over the phone and no reason not to give this place five stars for getting the job done properly.
I have an old 4.7 megapixel Panasonic that I have easily put over 50,000 photos through, mainly of food (I cook a bit) and I not only am used to the camera but it has a superb Leica optical zoom and a digital zoom on top of that. Replacing the lens alone is prohibitively expensive, so when last Tuesday when everything went dead, my heart sank, but one new motherboard later, on what is honestly, a long out-​of-​date camera is back in working order, having been fixed, cleaned and tested.
I love this place, it is definitely on the old time Houston quirky list.
Tell them the Englishman sent you and maybe 5 years from now when my camera quits again, I will not feel so guilty taking a candy out of the bowl on the desk.

I believe he focuses mainly on camera maintenance and repair, but he does have a small selection of used equipment for sale, and his prices are fair for a retail operation (ie a little more than online).
When I was looking for a dSLR, I dropped by his place a couple times and he let me play with his cameras. He showed me the camera, put a lens on it and let me have at it. I really appreciated his no-​pressure approach. In the end, I decided to buy a new camera body but I did end up buying a lens and it has worked out very out well.
I could go either 3 or 4 stars, but he’s a really nice guy and he’s been there for twelve or thirteen years so I’ll round up =)
