Why do you say they have the right to do this? Had they started the
work? If not, I'd do what I have to do get the camera back - which may
mean waiting two weeks and paying, but I'd make it clear, in writing,
that I was paying under protest and I'd take them to Small Claims court.

I suggest everyone stays away from Mid-State Camera Repair in Chicago 
Illinois. I brought an M4 in to be checked at 3:45 pm because the 
rangefinder images did not line up correctly. They said it would be
$185. I 
said that was  steep, seing that DAG CLA'd the camera one year prior.
They 
told me it would cost $185 no matter what they did and I left it with
them. 
The next business day at 11 am I called and said I did not want the
repair 
to be done, I felt it was too steep a price for an alignment. They said
too 
bad, I agreed to the price and they would not give it back for two
weeks, 
cash only!!! Technically i suppose they have the right to do this, but
would 
you want them to? To you and your Leica? Beware!!!
