In today’s tough economy consumers are looking for a bargain and Atlanta garage door repair companies are desperate to gain your business. This could be a great deal for you the customer or as many have experienced a real Rip-Off.
Let’s face it there is no such thing as a free lunch so when you see bogus so called deals claiming 50% off, Buy 1 Get 1 Free, Free Service Call, $200.00 off etc., you can be certain you’ll be paying for this in some hidden way. Generally speaking when you see these kinds of Gimmicks you can rest assured you will almost always pay more than you needed to for your overhead garage door repair. In most cases these Gimmick garage door repair companies will end up charging you 2-3 times more than a reputable door company.
The purpose of the so called “Free Service Call” is to gain access to your garage door and your home and have you as a captive audience. They bank on your lack of fair garage door repair pricing knowledge, your trust and since they are already at your home you might as well get the work done. I hear stories weekly of people being charged 2-3 times the going garage door repair rate and then calling around after the fact to find out they been Ripped-Off.
In almost 34 years of doing business with most garage door and garage door opener manufactures in North America I’ve never had them offer “buy 1 get 1 free” or “50%” off or free. Now if these huge corporations can’t afford to do it then it’s only logical that a local Atlanta garage door repair company can’t do it either.
Remember an honest Atlanta garage door repair company will always quote “real” pricing up front and you won’t see these bogus claims. Ask for a quote up front and an explanation of what their service includes, check for online reviews and if a garage door repair company has been in business for longer than a year they should have at least 75 Favorable reviews. Do your homework before you write that check and you won’t end up being Ripped-Off.
