Just dropped off my third camera there, for a general overhaul/tuneup. This place is what a repair shop should be: very honest, up-front and extremely skilled. Their technician has talked me out of several repairs as the investment wouldn't be worth it it, and that speaks volumes when a place talks you out of having them take your money. The two cameras they have fixed for me (a Canon and a Fujica) are working flawlessly, and their repair estimates were dead-on accurate and very reasonable. Also, the staff is very friendly and helpful. I hope they stay in business for a long, long time!

The only camera repair shop in town. Fair prices. Quick, Great service. I was unable to pick up my camera when it was done and they hung onto it for me until I could come get it. They fixed my camera without any issues. Fun little Shop with lots of old cameras to look at as well as shop for. Would recommend them to anyone. Thank you Foster's!

I just dropped off my son’s camera (a birthday gift for him) for a small repair and service. While I haven’t gone through the full customer experience yet, my first impression was wonderful. Everyone I spoke with was kind, respectful, and welcoming. I truly appreciated the way they communicated with me, and I’m looking forward to coming back.

The customer service at Foresters was very good. The repair to my camera was explained to me in detail and was completed in a very timely matter. The prices were very reasonable I will be a returning customer.

Brought my Sony A6000 in October because it had an error message. They said it was a broken shutter. When I picked it up from it being fixed the first time, it displayed the same message. I brought it back in and they said they got a faulty shutter. They order a new one, then I pick up the camera again. Same error, nothing fixed. I leave the camera AGAIN (it is now January), they claim that it is absolutely fixed. Guess what? Same error again. A huge waste of time and money, will not be returning to this shop.
