Our repair services are tailored to a wide selection of cameras, both digital and film cameras.

Yes! We repair lenses and binoculars as well. Feel free to bring these items into our store to be serviced.

Simply put, a diagnostic test is a test to determine the main cause of the problem and determine a solution to repair the issue. At VanCam, we follow this method to ensure our customers know exactly what is wrong with their camera before any repairs are conducted. We will only conduct a repair with your permission.
A fee is associated with a diagnostic test in order to compensate the labor costs. For a point-and-shoot camera, expect a fee of $20-$30. For a digital SLR, expect a fee between $35-$45. Should you choose to follow through with a repair, the diagnostic fee will be deducted from the total due.
Please note these fees are subject to change if water damage is present in the camera.

Our turn-around time is dependent on a series of factors, including, the severity of damage to the camera, our availability of spare parts, etc. We will use our best efforts to complete your repair in an efficient time and accommodate any rush repairs.
