In general it is advisable to have
any service work that needs to be done to leica equipment done by Leica. That way we have the assurance that the work
is done in accordance to Leica standards.
However, that does not mean at all that other, independent service companies
cannot do equally good work. In many
cases these individuals received their initial training at Leica. For instance, Don Goldberg of DAG in Wisconsin worked for several years at
Leica in Wetzlar. After that he worked
for several years at the Leica service department in Rockleigh, New Jersey
before opening his own business. I have
used him for my own Leica service work for years and I can certainly attest to
his competency and quality of work.

ReplyDeleteYou're welcome.
ReplyDeleteYou seem to be partial to DAG in Wisconsin.
ReplyDeleteNo, however, I have more experience with DAG than any other Leica repair facility, including Leica Camera. I have used Don for over 40 years and I have had not a single complaint. His experience speaks for itself.
