These people are SO NICE. Ive only met the lady, but I think thats all anyone ever meets. It adds a little mystery to your experience. You always wonder if this will be the time you meet him. Haha. Anyway, they are incredibly knowledgeable and super helpful. I highly recommend them!
I dropped my water damaged lens off at Crystal camera repair, really with no hope for it to be fixed. Within 6 hours they called me and told me everything works fine even though the lens had water visibly in it for a couple days until I could come by! They were very sweet and honest and even remembered who I was when i can in the next day!! I recommend this place to EVERYONE!
I came in from out of town in TN without an appointment with family for a School Fall Break outing in Ashville . I learned about Crystal Camera through a google search and based on the positive reviews I decided to bring my by Nikon camera and prime lens for repairs because the aperture was giving error messages at higher F-Stops. I had tried everything possible, including contacts cleaning and followed all the recommended solutions from Nikon without success. When I arrived in the building I was greeted by a very nice and polite lady, who received my camera and took to their technicians. Within two minutes she came back with a perfectly working camera and lens. She explain the what was done to me. I must say that I was extremely pleased with their high degree of professional expertise in what they do. On top of that I was not charged for the services, totally blown my mind away. I went away with a working camera at all F-Stops. I will strongly recommend Crystal Camera to anyone who needs camera repairs or services. Thank you Crystal Camera!
Thank you! Fixed my EOS camera while I was on vacation in 20 minutes! I ended up buying a camera for my grandson before I left.
The lady behind the counter could not have been nicer! Or more fun to talk to! The guys in the back did two, easy (for them. Impossible for me!) fixes to my camera. While I waited 😳. And for no charge 😳😳. Best camera repair store around 💕
Highest possible recommendation! Nice folks, stellar work on my 45 year old camera, and reasonable prices. I’m thrilled to have found them.
So kind and helpful! Definitely the place to go if your camera is in need.
Nice place i would recommend like the friendly service my camera looks brand new 😀 👍
We were visiting from out of town and needed a quick look at our camera. They were very gracious to diagnose the camera, fix it, and sent us on our way. Thank you
I was in from out of town taking pictures of beautiful Asheville when all of the sudden my shutter got stuck closed. Thankfully Crystal Camera Repair was close so I immediately went there. The woman was so kind and took my 35mm camera to the man in the back to look at it after explaining what he was going to do. She brought it back out and told me what he did and that it was okay for now but if it continued they could fix it. They would even ship it back to me if I had to come home before it was done! I would definitely recommend coming here for any camera issues.
After one single visit, they made a lifetime customer out of me. Deb and George are the most knowledgeable and kindest people you will encounter. They repaired my Canon Eso M50 in less then 10 minutes. And I was sure it was unfixable. If youre in need of a camera repair and live within 100+ miles. Its worth the drive, because you can trust that they will know how to solve the issue.Thank you Deb & George!
Took my camera and telephoto lens to see why it wasn’t working. It’s an automatic Nikon and I hadn’t used it in a long time. Found out the little icon on the display when clicked on was telling me the battery needed charging! DUH! They were very polite.
I brought my telescope there all the way from Knoxville (I had called ahead of time to check with them if it was sometbhing they could do) and they repaired it to the perfection doing even more than what they had to. Their prices are fair and these are kind people (the lady at the reception is the kindness embodied, her husband is the camera/lense doctor). I will come back! Thank you.
Very pleasant person to deal with. Would highly recommend this business.
Have used several times and always accommodating and professional!
My Nikon as luck would have it, per Nikon support is a grey market camera and not eligible for Nikon service. Contacted Crystal Camera and they repaired it in less than a week including shipping times.Definitely will use them again if the need arises. Very friendly folks as well.
Excellent service. Had dropped my camera. Shutter didn’t work properly as a result. They repaired the problem while I was in the store! Very reasonable pricing. Couldn’t be happier with them.
I had the sensor on my camera cleaned with Crystal Camera. They did a wonderful job. Great turn around time and price. Also the staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. I will definitely be back.
Excellent work. Always a friendly knowledge reception. Ive used them for over thirty years.
I had no idea where to get my 35 mm camera repaired. Thought I was going to have to send it off!! Then I found Crystal Camera Repair. They were responsive, thorough, did a great job and were pretty quick! Highly recommend!
What a wonderful experience at Crystal Camera Repair. Highly knowledgeable, honest, affordable, and dedicated to their craft. If only every experience could be as easy and straightforward as mine was. Thank you Crystal Camera Repair!
Crystal Camera has done all my camera, lens and flash repair work for years as well as CLA my many cameras. Deborah is always a pleasure to talk with and so very helpful getting my gear checked out and back in service. Thanks so much guys for all these years of great service!
Helped get my telephoto lens focus working and saved me a bunch of time and money from sending my lens to canon!
So very helpful. Brought my Nikon D610 in for a check, they were unable to fix it because Nikon limits its repair parts for local businesses. They still were able to suggest what the issue might be and printed out the website for Nikon repairs with an estimate. Also, had a look at my Mamiya RZ67. Would highly recommend. Good honest folks. Hope to have more work for them soon.
Thought I had broken my camera on vacation. Looked for a repair shop and found Crystals.We walked in with no appointment and my camera was fixed in minutes.Thank you Crystals
I have brought a number of different cameras to Crystal for repair. The prices are great, the customer service is heartwarming and the repairs are spot-on. I highly recommend this place.
The best customer service Ive had in years
Great shop! Actually traveled there from Charleston to repair a lens that had a part discontinued. They worked their magic and get the part and now the lens is good as new! Thank you!
I feel pretty thankful that Crystal Camera is in Asheville. They have been around for quite a long time, it’s my go to for Camera sensor cleaning and when I need a repair. They are always nice when I come in and I can trust my equipment is in great hands.
Crystal Camera did an amazing job with repairing my camera. They always replied to any messages I sent them and they also updated me on the status of the repair. I will definitely use them again no matter where in the world I go. Thank you very much for your service.
They were prompt courteous and knowledgeable.
Another camera store sent me to Crystal Camera Repair. I was having focus issues with several lenses. It took less than an hour for them to diagnose and fix the problem. Amazing place. I will bring all my gear here for all future issues I may have.
They did a great job with fixing my Canon lens that I dropped and the focus was not working. Affordable and quick. They are very nice too. Thank you!
I wasnt sure if my Sony a7rii was ever going to work again after I tried to replace the broken screen myself, but they were able to fix it in about a week with more than fair pricing.
Best prices on repair. Honest and great work.
Had an amazing experience, very helpful and speedy repairs. Will be back in the future!
Have used Crystal Camera for repairs to my cameras for years. They always do the job correctly and professionally and are pleasant to work with - cant ask for more!
I had a camera repaired here years ago. This was back when digital cameras were pretty new in the scene (2000 or so). They were courteous and helpful, though that camera never quite worked the same again. The fall it suffered when I dropped it proved to be too much, but Crystal Camera did their best.
Helpful, honest
The Haselblad Medium Format cameras are unique, expensive, and to many perplexing . Crystal Camera knew exactly what to do to correct my problem . Rapid turnaround, professional treatment, and no guesswork ! They are the only ones this side of Germany that I will trust with my Haselblads ! W.C. Wells
Great experience when I brought my Nikon camera in for repair. They immediately checked it and came back out and said it was fixed and there was no charge. I am sure any other place would have at least charged a service charge.
I was very disappointed in the whole experience with Crystal. I explained over the phone in detail the problem that I had with the GPS and my Nikon D7500 and I wa told “no problem bring it in”. The “technician” looked at it for 10 minutes, while I waited in the waiting area, and I w3as told to leave the camera and GPS with them.I had not heard from them for a week, so I called and I was told they can’t fix a Nikon because they can’t get any parts from Nikon. DUH!! They could have told me that up front and saved me 2 trips of 100 miles each driving round trip from Cashiers!Be real careful what you want them to fix, and make sure it is a camera sold before 1980.
They did a great job on my camera. It will hold up till I can by a new one. There is only do much they can do after I fell on it.
Very honest folks! One shop recommended I completely replace the faulty part, Crystal had it repaired within a day at a very reasonable cost. Great experience and highly recommended.
Excellent service and communication every time! Ive used Crystal Camera at least seven times to repair and/or service my professional DSLR camera bodies and lenses. Their technicians are skilled, and I think their attention to detail is better than that at Nikon Repair Service.
Great service.. Very reasonable prices on labor and parts...I took my camera in for repair... When I picked it up my SD card was missing... Deborah keeps good records when you check a camera in... The SD Card was shown on the repair ticket...they offered to give me credit for the card but I was not concerned about itand said that it wasnt necessary... Two weeks later I get a package in the mail with a SD card enclosed.. Same brand and same size as the missing one.... These are very honest, hard working people at CCC... I will return with any future camera problem.
They are amazing and really good people! I have been in there multiple times where i had an issue and it was a simple fix or reset that only took him a minute to figure out and he has always resolved the issue and told me what to do if it happens again. Also they have never made me pay for him to look at it or tell me how to resolve it next time. I will always go back!!!
Outstanding company. Amazing customer service. Highly recommended!
I bought a film camera from a thrift store. I brought it in to be calibrated, cleaned and refurbished intending to start using it as my main camera. Very friendly service at the front desk. Technician does not directly speak to customers, I had a lot of questions and that was slightly unweildy, thats my only criticism, but I understand all the reason why a technician doesnt want to deal with the public haha. After the repair I had some questions about battery voltage and my email got a fast reply, and on a holiday weekend, that contained excellent information. After getting my camera back I put a roll through and all my exposures were fantastic. Ill probably be back with another vintage camera so Ill have a spare.
Great experience, very knowledgeable. They preformed a full diagnostics on my system, and shipped my equipment back to me for a very reasonable rate.
About the closest place for camera repair. Can be expensive but very reliable. Have used their services for years. Also an excuse to visit friends in the city .
Small family owned business. Nice knowledgeable people.
Last Thursday, I dropped my Canon 17—40mm F4 L. USM Lens, and damaged the gold-connectors on the mount. I purchased this lens USED on Amazon, so theres no warranty/insurance available.I typed in Nearest camera repair in Google, and Crystal Camera Repair was the first establishment to come up. I called Thursday afternoon and drove an hour to Asheville and dropped it off.The owners knew exactly what was wrong, and the parts were ordered. I was given a student discount as well as one week expectance date of repair. * I Paid NOTHING UPFRONT.By Monday afternoon, its ready for pickup. I drove to Asheville again, and brought my camera body to test it out in person, and it works exactly like it did prior to the accident.I only paid $45.00 and I could not be happier with the results. Crystal Camera Repair takes their profession seriously and delivered excellent results in a timely and reasonably priced manner. I highly recommend them to all photographers in need of gear-repair.Below is a picture of the damaged Connectors, as well as the Replacement.
Crystal Camera is the best! Not only are they friendly and helpful, they are Professional and stand behind what they do! I have had a DSLR repaired and a Lens repaired by Crystal Camera and I am completely satisfied with the results.
They are the best...been using them forever...and we break cameras ALL the time!
Great service. Very nice.
I have been using Crystal Camera for over a decade! The wizard knows all. A+++
The people were quite friendly
On honeymoon camera broke drop of a hat came to them they fixed right then great place
