What customers say
Never had a bad experience with these guys. Been coming here for years and haven’t seen fit to go anywhere else. Super knowledgeable, always happy to answer questions, prices are right especially for regulars.
I was extremely pleased with the service at Alpine Camera - great communication and service! I wish I knew about that place earlier. The repair was quick and efficient, and it didn’t cost a fortune. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
Honest and knowledge expert staff. Are honest with you even if it means they don’t make money which is rare in this day and age! Had a canon power shot digital camera with a broken lense and were honest about my options and gave their input on whether it is worth the fix or not.
I have a Canon G7X Mark ii and the shutter stopped working as if there was something stuck. Thank goodness they were able to fix my camera because a lot of other repair shops don’t, reasonable priced for the repair! They had good communication and turn around time. Would come here again!
