So Your Garage Door Needs Repair- Who Do I Choose

These days more and more folks are remaining in their existing home due to deflated housing prices and a poor economy, not to mention a tight budget. As a result some folks are finding it necessary to contact their local garage door repair company. Garage door repairs are a very common occurrence and if you stay in your home long enough you’ll need to have your garage door repaired too.

Some common garage door repairs are the garage door coming off tracks, a broken garage door cable or frayed garage door cable, worn out garage door rollers, broken hinges, bent garage door tracks, a broken extension spring, a broken torsion spring, damaged garage door sections or an automatic garage door opener that needs repair.

A desperate economy calls for desperate garage door repair companies that will say or do almost anything to survive and gain your business often with you the customer receiving the proverbial, ”short end of the stick”. In order to avoid poor quality workmanship and rip-off repair charges it’s more important than ever to do your homework as a consumer. Not all garage door repair companies are the same.

Stay away from the allure of “free service call” or 50% off regular repair charges these are just gimmicks to sucker you in. A knowledgeable reputable garage door repair company will always provide you with some sort of free quote over the phone for your garage door or garage door opener repair.

Online reputation these days is very important so check that out and look for a garage door repair company that has been in business for at least 10 years or longer. The length of time a company has been in business speaks volumes and the shady companies can last that long.

Don’t be afraid to ask for detailed upfront pricing, after all it’s your money and you worked hard for it.

Garage Door Repair? Don’t be fooled!

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.
