Finding a Good Camera Repair Center the First Time You Need One
If the nightmare scenario happens to you -- your expensive digital camera refuses to work, whether it's because of a drop, of a worn-out part, or for no obvious reason at all -- finding a repair center you can trust is an important step to fixing your nightmare. The stress of potentially losing dozens of irreplaceable photos and an expensive piece of equipment is tough enough, without adding the stress of worrying about a trustworthy repair center, too.
Here are some tips for selecting a good camera repair center.
• --A good camera repair center should be willing to give you an estimate or a quote. The estimate might not be perfect, as it's impossible for a repair center to guarantee a perfect estimate through a verbal description of your problem, but it's a good starting point.
• --Local camera repair centers are good, but so are some based outside your area. Any repair center (local or out of the area) should be willing to give you a time estimate on repairs, a cost estimate, and should allow you to check on the status of your repair at any time. Non-local repair centers should have a working phone number, too, along with a Web site.
• --Any camera repair center should explain all fees and miscellaneous costs for a repair. For example, if the camera repair center cannot fix your problem, or if you decide the repair is too expensive, what is the repair center's fee for looking at it?
• --Look for a camera repair center that handles cameras both under manufacturer's warranty and outside of the manufacturer's warranty. If a repair center is authorized to repair cameras under warranty, camera manufacturers trust it.
• --Before sending your camera to a physical address for repair, check to make sure the address is legitimate. Good, trustworthy camera repair centers appear on the Internet, but so do some untrustworthy ones. Checking for a working phone number (especially a toll free number) and a legitimate address can help you avoid scams.
