    Mark V.

    Dave really helped us out and did a wonderful job replacing our old garage door opener with a really high-tech and modern one that no longer fights us to close!! When we moved into our house, the door also rested unevenly so there was a huge gap to the bottom left of it, a sore sight we lived with for months! We were initially afraid we'd need a new door as well but Dave's expertise enabled him to revitalize it by rehanging/greasing the existing hardware. The door looks as good as new and saved us a bit of money in the short term! Also the consistent communication from Dave was very much appreciated and his workmanship is unparalleled. We'll be contacting Dave for all things related to our garage door and we suggest you do the same!

    It is totally a pleasant experience working with them. Our garage spring broke and won't open/close. I open a project and ask for a quote through yelp. Within 10 minutes, I got a response from them. And within 15 minutes, we setup an appointment. Everything is done in a timely and professional manner. The pricing is competitive. Dave is the person that we correspond to and also the person that actually comes out and work at our place. Very nice, kind and knowledgeable about the whole problem. He brought in all the necessary tools and was able to fix everything within 30 minutes. And the most important thing is, he is ON TIME!! (Actually 5 minutes earlier! Which is a big plus!). We all know how important this quality is! And he also teach us how to perform annual maintenance to check and avoid issue that may occur in the future. Overall, a very professional business, I would strongly recommend them.

    I noticed some screws that had separated from our garage door and called Dave on a Saturday. He arranged to come by the following Monday or Tuesday to take a look. True to his word, he showed up on time and addressed the issue thoroughly. Since our garage door hadn't been serviced in over a decade, we decided to replace the spring as well, rather than just servicing it. Dave made the suggestion but didn't pressure us at all, which I really appreciated. His communication via text before the appointment was excellent, and I was grateful he could fit us in on such short notice for what wasn't an urgent matter. Highly recommend Garage Door Basics for their professionalism and great service!

    Garage track off it's track. Garage door stuck open.

    I used Yelp project to find a company. Garage Door Basics contacted me quickly, offered same day and flat rate. I investigated snd they have a verified license and 5 star rating. Well German V the owner showed up at the time he said. He fixed our very stuck garage door and at the rate he said. Holy cow. No drama. Did what he said and very responsive. 6 stars if I could. Wonderful service. Got our very stuck garage door working smoothly!!!!

    Dan was the technician who came out to replace the two cables in my garage. I first noticed that my…read moregarage door wasn't closing flush on one side, and after looking over the equipment, I saw that one of the cables was starting to shred. I figured it was best to replace both before they broke, and likely this was the reason for the uneven closing. I received a reasonable quote, and Dan was very professional in his assessment. He didn't try to upsell anything, but simply provided helpful recommendations. Overall, I'm very satisfied with the service. Dan was friendly, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. Highly recommended.

    Aggressive Upsell and Worthless "Warranty"…read more TLDR: they will aggressively upsell you to replace things that aren't broken, promising a seven year warranty. But when something they install doesn't work, it's total crickets. Longer version: Little over a year ago, the spring on my garage door broke. Should be a couple hundred dollar job. These guys come out and the upsell starts right away: Upsell 1: they say I should replace the springs on both doors, even though only one was broken. Upsell 2: they then aggressively sold me to replace both openers even though both still worked. Their pitch was that the openers were old, that if I replaced them now, they would give me a great deal and then I wouldn't have to worry about my garage doors for years to come. They specifically emphasized that they stood behind their work with a seven year warranty. Their prices are definitely on the higher side for the industry. So what should have been a couple hundred dollar job turned into a bill over $4,000. Fast forward to current day. One of the openers they put in starts not working. I call, they come out. And the very first thing they recommend is: Upsell 3: They claim there's nothing wrong with the opener. It's something with my doors. The red flags were definitely there. Because I know that door moves up and down smoothly. But they insist this is the problem, which they then fix for $1000. (Well above market rates). So now I'm into these guys for $5000. And a day later, the opener stops working again. They come out, leave. Problem remains. They come out again. Problem remains. It is absolutely obvious that the opener is defective, and if they stood behind their 7-year warranty, they would put a new one in. But they won't. So I'm down $5000 for a job that probably should have cost 50% of that if I had taken my time and gotten multiple quotes and dealing with a doubly dangerous situation (the door stays open so thieves can get into my garage, and there is a risk of it coming down and injuring someone). They then finally replace the opener, but with a vastly inferior version with less power and less features. The reason? Because they're losing money by doing warranty work! Seriously, what's the point of the warranty then. I'm not saying you should never use these guys, but if you do, take the following advice: 1. Make SURE you get a quote, including from a big box store like HD, before you buy their upsell. You may find a significant price difference. 2. Take any warranty claim with a huge grain of salt.

    Joel was listed second on yelp's garage door service for my area. We talked on the phone at 10:55…read moreand he was able to be here in an hour. It's too bad that he wasn't listed when googling yesterday for garage door repair where i evidently called a call center, Precision (888-629-6127) who directed me to "Garage Door Service (949-542-6999). Joel replaced the garage door springs and brackets which were replaced yesterday by Garage Door Service who charged me $4,400 for that plus brackets, labor and tax. "They" told me that i needed a new wall motor and quoted me the lowest price of $2,700 to fix my problem. Thankfully, i wanted at least one other estimate and Joel, an honest self-employed man (my parents were self-employed) came. He was actually more upset than my aunt and i over what they did - wrong parts, outrageous repair bill and wrong "fix" of replacing the motor. The true garage door fix was to replace the springs, with the correct springs. And the cost with labor under $450 vs. $4,400!

    Had a great experience with Joel and would absolutely recommend him! He took the time to explain…read moreexactly what was going on, walked me through both short- and long-term options, and never once felt pushy or salesy. Pricing was very transparent and honestly in line with what you'd expect if you bought the parts yourself, which I really appreciated. We ended up replacing the spring and getting a new opener, and everything was done in under 2 hours!
