 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. STAY AWAY! These crooks operate as multiple Garage Door Repair companies at the same address. The alleged owner Michael repaired my broken spring, then said my foundation had settled, causing a 3-inch gap on one side of my garage door that wasn't there before. Another company explained that he just left the cable wheel in the wrong position (see photos), and it was an easy fix. It's so obvious it had to be intentional. I also asked "owner" Michael about replacing the weatherstrip. He said it's very difficult and expensive and he probably couldn't get the parts. The other, honest and reputable repairman said I could get it replaced by any company servicing that brand of door.

Avoid these lying crooks at all cost!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent experience with Core Garage Door Repair. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Spring broke and left door inoperable. Michael replied to message quickly and was able to provide a cost estimate that day. He had the right part on his truck (well prepared) and had it fixed in less than an hour. Pricing was fair and reasonable. He included some additional maintenance (lubrication, cable adjustment, etc.) on both my garage doors, not just the one that broke. He was knowledgeable and explained everything clearly, plus gave me tips on preventative maintenance steps to help the springs and doors last longer. He even took the time to program my opener to my specific request. Overall a great experience — highly recommend Michael and Core Garage Door Repair! It was a pleasure to work with him. He turned what started out as a really bad day into a great one!
