Kurt's Camera Repair, Inc. began operation in San Diego, California in 1975. Kurt's
Camera Repair quickly established itself as a highly reliable camera repair shop that
provides unquestionable quality repair and exceptional customer service for the photo
community. Shortly after opening, the manufacturers; Nikon, Canon and Minolta became
convinced of Kurt's professionalism, quality of service and reliability to the degree
that all three manufacturers established Kurt's Camera Repair as their authorized
service center for the southern California area.
Subsequently Kurt's Camera Repair contracted with the Kodak Company
to become an authorized service center for their audiovisual products. Olympus and
3M followed in making Kurt's an authorized service center for their products. From
the beginning, the technicians at Kurt's Camera Repair have been trained at these
and several other factories to assure nothing but the highest quality and expert
repair service for your equipment.
Kurt's Camera Repair maintains established accounts for ongoing repair
service with many companies and organizations such as city and county Police and Fire
Departments, school districts, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force and Army plus numerous
camera dealers.
