HermanLee · 04-07-2017, 06:51 PM

Does anyone have any suggestion a good & trusty camera shop near LA area?
I live near Pasadena area.
Found one shop online Camera Max Repair , has anyone tried this repair shop before? They said they can fix any camera.

I need to check on my K-3 shake reduction.

TIA

These guys used to be an Authorized Pentax Repair center. I have been unable to determine if they still are. Some of the old centers like Advanced Camera in Oregon are still authorized but not listed on the Ricoh websites.

Picture Perfect Unlimited
25876 The Old Road, Ste 300
Valencia, CA
91381
818-998-5204

If you find out anything let us know. If you camera is still under warranty you have to send it to Precision Camera as they are the only repair shop that does warranty work.

Picture Perfect is listed in this other thread, too. Though like was mentioned, Precision is the warranty repair service currently.

Picture Perfect:

Picture Perfect Unlimited - camera repair and sales of Pentax cameras

Note: they do not accept walk-in service. Ship to only. My brother had his LX repaired by them back in the day they used to take walk-ins. He was satisfied with their work. I think they used to be closer to LA but still in the 818 Area Code.

It seems many are using Picture Perfect. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll try to contact them if the ones nearer to LA can't do the work.
My K-3 is no longer under warranty.

Thanks for the link info.
I did bring the camera to General Camera Repair but the owner said he can't fix it because he cannot order the part anymore.
He suggested to send it to Precision Camera.
I'll see what International Camera Repair say.
