Default camera shop?

Is there a mom/pop type camera shop somewhere in Houston that does small repairs (in-house), buys/sells used cameras, etc? I'm missing my favorite one in Chicago.

Houston Camera Exchange on Richmond and Fountain View. It's decent, very big collection of everything from AE-1 to, um other older silly Nikon bodies, Minoltas, and everything else. Not sure if they do repair, however.
Pretty good store with a pretty good staff as far as I know. Worth a look.

Camera Co-Op is a smaller mom & pop, more what you are looking for. They are on Durham just south of Washington. But again, not sure if they do their own repairs.

HCE is nice, much bigger. But experiences there can either be very good or very bad with a lot of snotty attitude. Just depends on the day i guess.

I recommend Professional Camera Repair on Richmond close to the railroad tracks and Ragin' Cajun. They go great work at a fair price, on-site and relatively quickly. They primarily work on SLR's however.

Professional Camera Repair - Houston, Texas, Sensor Cleaning, Digital Camera Repair, Film Camera Repair, Medium and Large Format Camera Repairs

I second Houston Camera Exchange if you want to buy something second-hand. I don't know if they do repairs either because I always take mine to the guys above.
