Just to add something on the review below. I had taken my camera to Canon Service Center and was told the optical lens case has been damaged and sand particles were found. This was what happened in the service I had given earlier.
I am not able to understand why would someone do this!

I want to write a review on Deendayal Camera Co, Bangalore.This is a service centre for cameras of different brands.
Horrible service. I had given my fully functional Canon A640 for lens cleaning. They said they will call and give quote without starting work. I had to call back and they quoted 35oo, next time it was 2500 and 3 occasions later they said 1600. I was doubtful and got my camera back. The camera was tampered, the lens retract system is making an awkward noise now. I am disgusted as the camera lens retract used to be very smooth. I wrote to them, but no reply. I am not sure what else has been tampered. I was also told the confusion in quotes was they had mixed up details of another camera of the same model from another customer.
I am disappointed as any repair to the current damage would be expensive as well
Never think of giving your cameras for service here please.
