Excellent service. Saved an expensive SONY RX10iv bridge camera that had an annoying intermittent fault that totally stopped the camera from working. Great Comms. Brill service. Good price too.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Very fast turn around to repair an EF24-70mm lens that I had been told was unrepairable. Excellent communication from start to finish. Thanks for being able to fix the lens.

Cannot fault Wes and the team

Cannot fault Wes and the team. After my mother in law dropped my camera and jammed the zoom, I thought it was doomed! The repair was quick and good value and Wes was extremely helpful. I'll never let my mother in law borrow my camera again but if she does, I'll be booking it back in here.

I have nothing but praise for Camera Repair Direct. I purchased a Canon 100mm f2.8 macro online, but although it was faulty from the very start the seller showed no inclination to honour the warranty. I contacted C R D and received a reply within an hour. All the repair costs were detailed and the lens was beautifully repaired within two week (this included the time for spares to be ordered). I would not hesitate to use this company again and recommend them wholeheartedly.

Fair priced repair service

Just had a compact Panasonic camera repaired by this company. So far I can't fault them. I wondered if it would be worth the money, seeing as the camera is £160 new, but it was. It was clogged with sand after a few trips to the coast and was making grinding noises and error codes were coming up. Turn around was around ten days, which is decent. Cost was £60 including delivery and VAT, which is a whole lot cheaper than a new camera!! Communication is quick and simple with them too. I would recommend trying them before writing your camera off as broken.

Reliable, trustworthy, effective camera repair service.

I had a compact Sony camera which had a couple of minor defects - the door covering the charging point had become strained and had fallen off and I recently noticed a blurred mark on my pictures where some dirt or dust had got inside the lens.
I used the email enquiry form on Camera Repair Direct (CRD) website and had a reply back within 24 hours with a very reasonable quote for the work and instructions on how to proceed. I sent off my camera and it was about 14 days before I heard back from them - they had been waiting for the door part from the manufacturer. They sent another email with payment details and I was able to pay via internet banking (other methods available) and they sent the phone back to me within 24 hours of the payment, via FedEx so the delivery was secure and tracked the whole way. I was really pleased with the service I received from Camera Repair Direct and definitely recommend them. Communication was good, repair didn't take long, cost was minimal and payment was easy to complete. Now my camera is as good as new and I am a very happy customer.

Works well.

We have used CRD twice. On the second occasion there was a slight hiccup, which would best be described as a 'communication' issue. Wes dealt with this without drama and within 3 days we had a fully working camera back home. What's not to like? If we have another camera needing repair, we will be back to CRD.

Excellent service

Excellent service! My camera was repaired really quickly and at a very reasonable price. It was returned well wrapped and working. I would have had to buy a new camera if I could not get it repaired, so I saved a lot of money. I would have no hesitation in recommending Camera Repair Direct.

Super fast efficient service at a reasonable price. I spoke to Wes on the Wednesday who gave me a quick, and as it turned out, an accurate diagnosis and a good repair price. I shipped my camera on the Thursday, by Friday the guys contacted me to say the camera was repaired, I paid for the repair on line and received my camera back on the Tuesday, all working again. Now that is what I call service. Tip top !
