Key Camera Service

Dave is incredibly knowledgeable– this is old school camera repair at its finest. I wouldn’t trust my camera to any other shop. He will give you an accurate assessment of what’s wrong, and when they will have it ready. They can work on old and new digital cameras. Dave is a photography history treasure, I’d wager he knows more about cameras than most people alive today. The shop is old school– smokey, fluorescent lights buzzing, piles of paperwork and old cameras, just like stepping into 1970 camera repair. I wax poetic, but this place is great– a piece of authentic Colorado before a zillion WestCoasters relocated here and made it look like a sterile moneyland fancy strip mall with beautiful shiny people behind the counter. you won’t find that here– and it’s so refreshing.

Dave Feeley is one of the last great camera technicians out there — the old school guys that can troubleshoot a camera and understand the mechanics and electronics well enough to find a bad electronic part on a circuit board and fix it. He tells me he was trained to even make new mechanical parts on mill and lathe. Most shops these days just replace parts until they find the problem, but Dave does it the right way. He’s repaired a lot of my Rolleiflex items for me and been very fair on prices too. I live in California so I have never visited in person but he’s very friendly on the phone. Highly recommended.

My camera lens was stuck and I took it to the store I bought it from to see If they could get it off. Their tech said it would be $ 250 to fix it. My husband called around and found Key. Their technician took it back to his shop and came back in short order with my lens off! He also said that my other lens was probably broken. No charge! I looked at my other lens and sure enough it was broken. Thankful for such willingness to help a patron. Give them a try!

I’ll revisit this review if I ever get my camera back.
Dropped off a Cannot 28 for light seals and rangefinder adjustment over six weeks ago. I was told the turnaround was two to three weeks. Popped in to check after five weeks. They hadn’t touched the camera.
They promised «next week» …“We’ll call.” Nope. Haven’t heard from them.
They aren’t much use if they never do the work.

Brought in 3 very old cameras for advice on if they worked and how much it cost to repair them if necessary. The owner spent 20 – 25 minutes inspecting and advised us on what was needed, he said the old cameras work fine and repairing them would not increase the value when I sell them on ebay, I asked what he charged for the inspection. He said 5 to 10 dollars, I was stunned and I expected him to say a much higher amount! I gave him more than 5 – 10 dollars. It is very nice to deal with someone who is honest and trustworthy and takes the time to deal with his customers on a very professional level!!!

The fellow who runs this place has an encyclopedic knowledge of cameras. He’s fixed several of my older cameras that needed repair, and they have functioned flawlessly when he was done with them.

Can’t give 5 stars ONLY because I did not have anything serviced there but was very impressed with his advice that was readily given.
I agree with other reviewer, very honest shop. Person I spoke with was extremely knowledgeable.
Definitely absolutely 100% will go back!

One star off for having weird hours. (Closed on Wednesdays and Sundays, I think).
But really helpful, honest camera shop. They’re certified to do repairs for Canon and Nikon, and have a pretty fast turn around on service.
Reasonably priced for non-​warranty service, too.
Glad to have this place around!
