For the camera itself or the shutters?
If for the camera it probably depends upon what brand and model you have.
Cameras don't usually need much attention...except those finicky German monsters.

I think part of the confusion here probably arises because one never really hears the phrase "CLA" in respect to large format cameras.
Lens and shutters yes, but not the cameras themselves.
Perhaps because for a lot of users, their cameras are older than the user .

Most of my cameras are older than you Matt (Maybe that should be many not most).

I do service LF cameras, I'll strip them even wash them and Im'm not joking either, owever I do know what I'm doing. Washing in hot water might sound severe but hey bellows and focus hood, plus lens board, removed (possibly rage finde as well)is no big deal with Linhof Technika or Clobne, And in sme cases I want the coveing material to come off as well. Then I can recover in new material.

But that's an extreme, some CLA's are a half hour job others need new parts fabricated. People ask what camera and the OP seems reluctant to say..

This was a CLA i did 2020



Note the Cornish IPA Proper Job, the Cornish expression fo a job well done.

I service and refurb wood field cameras too but the OP did not seem too interested in engaging in a conversation.
