Garland Camera Repair & Photographic Imaging

I’m so happy I found this place!! The base plate of my tripod would not come off the camera tripod mount and after calling around they were the only ones who said they could help me out and it took them less than a minute to remove. I’m so thankful! So 10/10 customer service! Also, they have so much good stuff cameras (old and new) film, tripods. Wow! This is now my new spot for film developing and all my photo needs.

This camera shop is wonderful! They have a great selection and their staff are friendly and knowledgeable. My son is new to photography and they helped us with a camera purchase as well as some helpful tips. Brennan in particular was super patient and helpful with us! Highly recommend!

This place is the best place to get into film photography!! I bought a cheap film camera on eBay back in 2021, and after shooting a roll of film, I didn't know where to go get it developed. It took 2 years for me to finally google a place and I found this via Google Maps! The visit first was so helpful and the girl who helped me actually got me addicted to film photography again. I came to develop my roll of film from 2021 and brought my cameras with me because I didn't know how to unload the film. I was scared that I was going to be laughed at by all these camera enthusiasts, but the workers there were so friendly and explained everything. They showed me the massive collection of film rolls and all the film cameras that they have in stock (automatic & SLRs). I was super overwhelmed but so happy to learn about film photography. They told me to sign up for an online account and my films would be automatically scanned/uploaded on there. I watched multiple YouTube reviews where they said it might take 5-7 business days to get your scanned photos, so I was already prepared for that. Garland Camera told me it'll take between 24-48 hours, which is much faster than I expected. To my surprise, they called me an HOUR after I left and said my photos were uploaded to the shared album. I was mind-blown by how fast the service was! The drive there was over an hour due to traffic and by the time I got home, my photos were all online! I was super happy to see the photos I took back in 2021 and it brought back so many good memories. There was one roll that I ruined by opening the back before rewinding it, so I didn't get any of those photos back. Each 35mm roll costs ~$15 for development/scanned, which is pretty average. I'm honestly just amazed by how quickly I got my photos back the first time that I decided to get into film photography fully. I came back two weeks later to drop off another roll on Thursday afternoon, and I woke up Friday morning with my photos ready. The customer service and photo quality that I received here have inspired me to turn it into a weekly routine where I take a whole roll of film and drop it off to develop on Saturday. They keep your negative for 7 days as well so I try to stop by every Saturday to pick up my negatives, and also develop new rolls. I'm so happy to get into film photography again, and it's all thanks to Garland Camera! I'd highly recommend coming here if you're looking to learn more about cameras because they have so many and customer service is TOP NOTCH.

This place is great! Super helpful, great prices, and a really nice variety of everything (from the obvious cameras, to all other associated equipment you can think of, bags, tripods, filters, film holders). Great for both digital and film photographers alike. In particular I like to buy chemistry here, but their film prices are also excellent unlike a lot of shops)

This place has been my go-to film lab in the DFW area for over a year now. I live around 45 minutes away and I find it to always be worth the drive every time. Prices are affordable, turnaround time is very quick (so far it’s never taken more than 3 days for developed + scanned photos to be sent to my email and once even had my photos sent to me before I even got home), and the quality is top-notch. I’d recently graduated from using disposable/point-and-shoot cameras to an SLR, and an employee here patiently walked me through the different options of films as well as explaining to me tips and tricks for a successful first roll. Below are some of the (unedited) images I managed to capture from that very first roll of film I shot on an SLR. I always recommend this place to friends looking for a film lab and will continue to go here to get all my films developed!

A big shout out to the camera crew at Garland Cameras and especially to Dennis & Brennan. When I needed help they were both very helpful to this novice and getting started with the appropriate gear and how to upload images to my Mac! This is a must go to for exceptional service! God Bless!!

Garland Camera provides the kind of no-frills customer service that you can depend upon. I have had an eight year relationship with this company and have always been served and helped by them. They are fair, they are honest, and they are quick. When my camera is broken, this is the place I go to; every time. You don’t see smiles on every face at this location; however, they do provide excellent service, and always honor their customers with honesty and promptness. I recommend this location highly.
