RECOMMENDED LEICA REPAIR FACILITIES



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.

  3. No, 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.
