In today’s tough economy there seems to be more scamsters than ever all competing for your garage door repair business.
Many of these scammer overhead door companies will advertise extremely low prices; buy 1 get one free and free service call charges etc. Occasionally a legitimate garage door company will run a real promotion that will save you money on your garage door repair but more often than not they are rip-off schemes.
Regardless of how big a garage door repair company is we all pay the same prices for gasoline, vehicles, labor costs and materials. Usually the larger an overhead door company is the more overhead costs they have and as a result they have to charge more to turn a profit.
Advertising is very expensive and at the end of the day the costs for advertising are built into your garage door repair or opener repair bill, meaning you are paying for the ability to easily find them. My experience has shown that medium sizes overhead door repair companies usually provide the best mix of service and quality without draining your bank account.
An experienced garage door repair company will ask you a number of questions when you call and can determine from those answers what’s wrong with your overhead door or automatic opener and can give you a very accurate repair quote right over the phone. This over the phone quote can save you time and money as well as make you more informed for the next call.
Look for online internet specials and read the fine print, many of these specials can save you 10-25 dollars. Beware if the offers are 75, 100 or more the question to ask yourself is how can they do that and still turn a profit. They answer is they’re charging you too much for your garage door repair to start or they have hidden costs that will show up after your overhead door repair is complete.
Do your homework and be an educated consumer, make your garage door repair affordable without sacrificing quality.
