I have an M3 that needs the strap lug replaced. Can anyone recommend a good repair shop? Thanks in advance.

I would suggest Sherry Krauter:

I would also recomend Sherry Krauter, have had repairs done by her for years and never had any complants what so ever .

Sherry Krauter has repaired and CLA'd several cameras for me. Her work is good and the charges reasonable...........

Don Goldberg (DAG) may be faster than Sherry and somewhat less expensive. He's widely used by Leica dealers like Jim Kuehl and others.

I've used Don quite a bit and have been very satisfied. However, if and when someone opens up my M3, it'll be Sherry.

The M3 that I got back from Sherry's CLA is the smoothest Leica that I have ever used - much better than my newer M6. I highly recommend her work.

I used Ross Yerkes. He did a CLA and repaired the camera (one speed 1/8swas not working as it should). The work was done in 2 weeks at a very attractive price.
