What customers say
My experience: - Liked that they were in the Midwest as opposed to on the coast. - Liked repairs videos on website to see how they worked. - Sent camcorder symptoms via E-mail on Sunday, got estimate on Monday.
EDIT --- I had an issue with my memory card slot after it was repaired and the owner had me send. it back and he fixed it again. THIS PLACE IS AWESOME!!!! Randomly found this company online when I was searching for who could repair my camera.
I had an excellent experience with John at MYK Camera Repair and cannot recommend him highly enough. I brought in my Sony A7RIV after a broken Godox trigger left plastic lodged inside the hot shoe. John was honest, responsive and straightforward from the very first email.
The countless 5-star reviews certainly speak for themselves! When my Sony A7RV came crashing down during a photo shoot, I had a couple recommend MYK Camera Repair. After looking at the reviews, I figured it would be a good option. I emailed John, and had a very prompt and helpful response.
