I found out the hard way thot there are many dishonest and unreliable garage door businesses in Los Angeles. Thank goodness I finally found GARAGE GURUS! Sam, the owner, was reliable, knowledgeable, fairly priced and a pleasure to do business with. My existing Garage Door was original to my house built in 1937. Very heavy and very old. So I was shopping for a brand new roll up door and the opener mechanism to go with it. After wasting time with a couple other companies, I was fortunate enough to come across Garage Gurus. Sam came out explained what I needed to have done. He gave me a choice of many different garage doors to go with my house. I found one I liked and when I received his bid it was very reasonable. The installation was today and it went very smoothly. I highly recommend Garage Gurus.- read more

He was great. Replaced the motor and drive in under an hour. Didnt try to upsell me. Stayed longer to reprogram some other controls. AI checked the price and was very competitive. The previous one tried telling me I needed to replace springs and all kinds of other stuff. Highly recommended. read more

We bought a new car recently and I programed it, but that stopped the old car and hand held remotes from working. Called Garage Gurus and talked to Sam. He came out that afternoon and fixed up everything. I had him service the garage door while he was here. Stopped all the squeaks and noises and pointed out some possible future problems that I should keep an eye on. Very pleased with him and his work. Miles C. read more

I contacted Garage Guru after realizing the original company I was working with was overcharging and recommending repairs that weren't necessary. I reached out to a few other companies for second and third opinions, and that's when I connected with Sam at Garage Guru. From the start, Sam was excellent. He communicated every detail clearly, provided three different options with pricing, and was extremely responsive and informative with all of my questions and concerns. I felt confident in his honesty and expertise. Even before the installation, Sam confirmed the appointment and walked me through the entire process step by step, including how long the job would take. The work was completed efficiently, and I was charged exactly what was quoted--nothing more, nothing less. As a property manager in DTLA, it's not easy to find reliable and honest vendors. I feel very fortunate to have worked with Sam and his team, and I will definitely be using Garage Guru for any future garage gate needs. read more

So I needed to have a garage door opener installed. Bought a basic center mount and poor Sam drove 45 minutes only to advise it wouldn't work with my existing setup. No charge which I felt bad about with LA traffic. I'm on the edge of his typical business radius. He recommend a side mount which sadly cost 2X but he said he would reduce install price by $50 so I went ahead and bought the chamberlain side mount which he said is a better way to go and a good brand. Was not a fan of Genie. I retired the original opener and upgraded to the side opener and Sam was back out in Friday afternoon traffic to get it done for me for the weekend. Good honest hard working on time guy. I would use him again but I only have one garage! I will recommend him. read more

Our 30-year-old garage door opener finally died and we needed a new one. We were looking for something pretty simple since our garage is only used for storage these days. Anyway interviewed a bunch of different contractors and then found Sam. I immediately felt a connection and he gave me all the right answers to my questions - does he hire outside help, does he do the work himself, do I have an option of different manufacturers of openers, etc. His communication was excellent, by far the most communicative contractor that I dealt with. He was prompt and did the work himself. We are very happy. His price was very reasonable, and he was done in under an hour as promised. He guarantees his workmanship and I suspect on the rare chance that there was a problem he would reply and repair it as needed very quickly. Highly recommended read more

Excellent service, Reasonable pricing, prompt, and communicates really well. He is diligent and it shows how much pride he takes in his work.

Thanks Sam! read more

Outstanding service and quality. Sam is a stellar installer, quick to respond and he quoted a great price for a pure replacement without trying to upsell me on unnecessary features. In my price shopping, another company wanted to charge to send out someone for an estimate, totally absurd, but not Garage Gurus. And my new door comes with a 10 year warranty - he really stands by his work. It's easy to see why he's got so many 5 star reviews. Highly recommend. read more

I contacted Sam at about 2pm on a Monday and we set up an appointment for 10 - 12 the following day. At 9:30am I received a text from him stating he would be there in 30 minutes, and he showed up at exactly 10am. My opener quit working, so Sam got up the ladder and in less then 2 minutes he figured out what was wrong, a broken gear. He also let me know that the opener was originally installed about 23 years ago, and with it's age, he recommended replacing it. So, I contacted my uncle in Chicago who has his own garage door business, and he agreed. Sam seemed VERY knowledgeable and competent. I highly recommend! read more

Sam is the best in the business. Very knowledgeable, and was able to come replace our damaged garage door opener on short notice, for a very reasonable price. read more

Sam with garage gurus went above and beyond and saved me when my garage broke. I broke a coil spring on Friday at 8pm. I was expecting to get someone out early Saturday morning. Sam offered to come out that night. I had sent some pictures and he sent over a quote that seemed fair. Once he saw the system in person he could tell it was built in a peculiar way and getting the spring changed would be more challenging. A 20 minute job took an hour. He didn't even ask for more than he quoted initially. I would highly recommend garage gurus for any garage related needs. read more

Sam also did a quick turn up on my spring tension and lube all garage parts. Very profession and all thing done in about 1.5 hr. Good service and will suggest to friend if need any garage door service. read more

Sam was great and we will definitely use him in the future if we have a problem. We called our previous company first, and they said they were busy, but promised to call in a couple of hours with a time. They never called (still haven't) so I got Sam out of Yelp and called in the afternoon. He was very responsive and said he was busy but would fit us in at the end of the day (Friday). We couldn't do that so we made an appointment for Saturday morning. Sam showed up on time (even texted to let us know he was coming) and fixed the problem. He also serviced the door and adjusted everything. I've removed the previous company from my contact list and replaced them with Garage Gurus. read more

I am impressed by the quick response and came to property measure twice. Because I need to get it done before the close of escrow, Sam also pushed through to the deadline fast with a custom single garage door that's required by the city of Hermosa beach for signing off a building report. What a problem solver! I strongly recommend Sam. read more
