Garage Door Service Reports & Reviews (3)

Charged over 1400 dollars for lubricating and changing wheels that cost about 30 dollars for 10

I initially called what seemed to be a local company but the 1 866 923 1201 number made me suspicious and after I found out they were a mobile service rejected them. I had called another company too and the appointment was cancelled for a routine maintenance job. Then suddenly a tech showed up at my door and in confusion thinking it was a legitimate company I had called answered the door and since he was already there had them lubricate the springs and rail. He suggested I change the roller/wheels which I accepted and when he was done he slapped me with a 1400 bill. Total scam. I feel so stupid about it. They are criminals in sheep's clothes. I am surprised they are not arrested for scamming.

Apple Maps shows this phone number for A1 Garage Door Service in Torrance. Everything on the site shown is correct, including the company name, address, and website; however, the phone number connects you to someone else representing themselves as A1. When service is complete, their receipt shows the name Garage Door Service, no address, email or website. It has only a phone number 866-923-1201. I reported this in the A1 Garage Door Service Yelp site and I found that another report about this had also been posted. I believe I was heavily overcharged for services and told I needed garage door service that was not required. I have also notified A1 Garage Door Services, who I have used and been very pleased with in the future, of what occurred.

Fox garage doors is NOT OUT OF BUSINESS, news stations all across the country have exposed them including dateline nbc.

These guys operate in most major cities under multiple names, copycat names etc. In the cincinnati market alone I know there are about 15 names. They run in the reach magazine but change the name about every 6 months or so. The techs are required to maintain a ticket average of over $500 , if the repair is less they can not leave the driveway without calling the office. I'm a repairman myself and have been behind them on jobs completing basic repairs for a $59 service fee that GDS had quoted for $1000 or more. Fox garage doors, dayton garage doors, cincinnati garage doors, west chester garage doors, Monroe garage doors etc...pick a city and add garage doors to it and it will lead you to them.
