I went to a place called Competitive Camera to get my Canon G7X Mark III fixed. It had sand in the lense. They quoted me $600-$800 and a 5 week turn around without even looking at the camera. I walked out and drove to Garland Camera and the difference was astonishing. Incredible, friendly and knowledgeable staff. They took a look at my camera, brought it to the back, fixed it within 10 minutes, and charged me $40. I can’t recommend this place enough. I will be telling all my friends with cameras to come here if they have any issues! They even gave me a free sticker!! I LOVE GARLAND CAMERA! Thank you to the kind man that helped me out! 10/10!

This place is amazing! All the people are knowledgeable and very willing to help. I had the pleasure of working with Ernest and Todd in the imaging department yesterday. They went beyond and above to fix my prints, making them lighter since the photographer didn't use a flash. Ernest and Todd were both so willing to share their knowledge too. The customer service was truly amazing! I have also had the pleasure of working with Brennon. He is so knowledgeable about cameras and doesn't push you to make a decision. I have bought 3 cameras and a few lenses. I am so grateful there is camera shop in the Dallas area. I will be a customer forever!

I am a casual photographer and was looking for a compact travel camera to replace my old Canon Rebel T5. While a new Rebel was on the top of my list, an employee recommended a Fujifilm XS-20 and it was love at first sight. It was not too high end but easy to customize settings, and the resulting colors are beautiful due to the pixel color filter, albeit a bit unrealistic. This was also my first time handling a back-side illuminated camera (late to the game!) and it is so much faster and works much better in low light. I'm very pleased with the performance and ergonomics. Thank you Garland Camera Repair!

This place is the best place to get into film photography!! I bought a cheap film camera on eBay back in 2021, and after shooting a roll of film, I didn't know where to go get it developed. It took 2 years for me to finally google a place and I found this via Google Maps! The visit first was so helpful and the girl who helped me actually got me addicted to film photography again. I came to develop my roll of film from 2021 and brought my cameras with me because I didn't know how to unload the film. I was scared that I was going to be laughed at by all these camera enthusiasts, but the workers there were so friendly and explained everything. They showed me the massive collection of film rolls and all the film cameras that they have in stock (automatic & SLRs). I was super overwhelmed but so happy to learn about film photography. They told me to sign up for an online account and my films would be automatically scanned/uploaded on there. I watched multiple YouTube reviews where they said it might take 5-7 business days to get your scanned photos, so I was already prepared for that. Garland Camera told me it'll take between 24-48 hours, which is much faster than I expected. To my surprise, they called me an HOUR after I left and said my photos were uploaded to the shared album. I was mind-blown by how fast the service was! The drive there was over an hour due to traffic and by the time I got home, my photos were all online! I was super happy to see the photos I took back in 2021 and it brought back so many good memories. There was one roll that I ruined by opening the back before rewinding it, so I didn't get any of those photos back. Each 35mm roll costs ~$15 for development/scanned, which is pretty average. I'm honestly just amazed by how quickly I got my photos back the first time that I decided to get into film photography fully. I came back two weeks later to drop off another roll on Thursday afternoon, and I woke up Friday morning with my photos ready. The customer service and photo quality that I received here have inspired me to turn it into a weekly routine where I take a whole roll of film and drop it off to develop on Saturday. They keep your negative for 7 days as well so I try to stop by every Saturday to pick up my negatives, and also develop new rolls. I'm so happy to get into film photography again, and it's all thanks to Garland Camera! I'd highly recommend coming here if you're looking to learn more about cameras because they have so many and customer service is TOP NOTCH.

Garland Camera provides the kind of no-frills customer service that you can depend upon. I have had an eight year relationship with this company and have always been served and helped by them. They are fair, they are honest, and they are quick. When my camera is broken, this is the place I go to; every time. You don’t see smiles on every face at this location; however, they do provide excellent service, and always honor their customers with honesty and promptness. I recommend this location highly.
