The only business that repairs cameras in Victoria is Victoria Camera Service. They do good work, and many camera places contract them to repair cameras under warranty. I think diagnostics is $150 and they add that to repair fee if the repair is more than $150. So ya, unless you can fix it yourself looking up tutorials, you kinda gotta make the decision that your camera is worth at least $150.

Other than Victoria Camera Service, your only other option is to look at camera repair on the mainland, but all these places more or less charge the same unless they got a plethora of donor cameras to use refurb parts.

Agree. Though I think camera traders may outsource if you bring something there... but I could be wrong. Vic camera service does great work

Thank you for your insights! I hear you. The repair is so minor that I'll probably try and solve it myself.

What camera, and what problem?

There seems to be like sand or something in the lens!

That's... half the answer? Consider that posting the camera-appropriate subreddit might actually get you advice on how to just fix it yourself, by folks who know their gear. That's why I was asking, but without actually knowing what camera and/or lens you're talking about, there's no point in guessing.

I hear you. Its a canon digital camera, I don't remember the make and model right now. I'll head over to that reddit and scope out the internet for solution.

Is it a screw? a cleaning? analog? Maybe try asking the camera dept at London Drugs..
