Does ACR subcontract any of its repair work?
NO! Subcontracting is a common practice in the camera repair world. For example, when camera repair shops get more work than they can take care of, they may subcontract their excess repairs to other repair shops. Most photo dealers have no repairmen at all. They subcontract all their repairs. Even factory repair centers have been know to subcontract their repairs to privately owned repair shops. It is a common practice and it is probably a reasonable solution for repair overloads. But… to ACR it has the smell of drop-shipping. Also, ACR would have no control over the quality of the repair work. For these reasons, ACR never subcontracts any of its repairs. If you send your camera to ACR, it is repaired here in house, and no where else.
