That depends on what kind of problem your digital camera has, how far off the table it fell, how much slobber Johnny spilled into it, and whether the unit fell in salt water or fresh water...

You can find our labor rates here, so the only question would be the cost of parts. Once your unit is in our shop, we'll be able to determine just that. We'll contact you via e-mail with all of the costs involved, and how long the repair will take.

We do all we can to make the repair process simple and straighforward.

How do I know if my camera is worth fixing?

Good question. If your camera was an entry level camera, and was made before the year 2000, then it's a good idea to at least look at the new models available.

My digital camera got wet, can you fix it?

For cameras damaged by liquid or water, there is an up front estimate fee of $50.00. This fee must be paid in advance, and is applied to the cost of repair.

If your unit did get wet, it's wise to remove the battery, and avoid powering the unit on.

If your camera was submerged for any length of time, it's over, time to go shopping. If the lens has water spots inside - it's over, time to go shopping. If water is dripping out from the inside of your unit, it's over, time to go shopping. If your camera was LIGHTLY splashed, or sprinkled with water, there MAY be a chance that we can help you.

Yeah, but wont it cost allot to ship my camcorder to you?

Actually, the average cost of shipping a camcorder to us is about $10.00. Once you get past three pounds, UPS is by far, more cost effective than the Postal Service, .

Why don't you offer free estimates?

One word, gimmick.  Do you really think that repair shops that offer free estimates are going to spend one minute on your camcorder trying to figure out it's problem?  No way!  They simply 'shoot' you a price, and hope the price they quote you will cover the cost of parts and leave room for plenty of profit. This works for them if it's an easy repair, but bad for you if your unit was one of the 'easy' ones, and you were charged too much money for the repair. Simple to understand, yes?

How much do you charge for estimates?

$30.00. A modest sum compared to the costr of a new camera. The estimate fee is applied to the cost of repair.

How much do you charge for return shipping?

Typical return shipping charges are $10.00, and we only tack on $1.50 for packing supplies. That's reasonable, yes?

If you'd prefer to use a different shipping carrier, or if you'd like us to use your account number when shipping, simply let us know...
