SCAMS TO WATCH OUT FOR!

Wow wouldn’t it be great if we didn’t need to worry about getting ripped off. Sadly many get ripped off and never realize it. A simple fix can be turned into a very costly service bill by a fast talking repairman.

Watch for very low quotes over the phone or in ads, such as a service call for only $19.95 or a spring replacement for $79.00. They may come out for that price but that will not be the final bill. Many service technicians are paid a 20% commission of the final bill. So they will not be happy to come out for $4. They have quotas to meet and do not intend to leave with out a final bill of $300.00 to $700.00. This is not entirely illegal but is certainly wrong in my opinion. I could tell you some horror stories.

Get a “worst case scenario” estimate and if they will not commit call some one else. Let’s face it this isn’t rocket science.

Also when getting complete door and opener prices make sure that it includes all new hardware and parts then check to make sure that none of your old door or opener was used.

Never pay a fee to haul away the old door or opener .

When getting complete door and opener prices make sure that it includes all new hardware and parts then check to make sure that none of your old door or opener was used. You may think it’s silly to ask but its better that being sorry later.

When getting a price on a door replacement if the rep tells you not to get a permit or that you don’t need a permit call someone else. There is a reason they do not want you to get a permit. (For more on that see my tips tab)
