I woke up Saturday morning ready to leave on a 400 mile trip. Car packed et. Garage door would not work due to a broken spring. I called 3 companies from the yellow pages, only Precision could get to me within an hour. I asked if there would be an "emergency charge" because it was Saturday. The operator said no, just a $55 service charge.
The technician arrived on time and proceeded to tell me that I needed 2 springs at $150 each plus new center bearing, new drum bearings, new cables, and several rollers. He recommended that I buy the "special" at $642 which included all new rollers, etc.
I told him to forget it. He said that I owed him the $55 service fee. I told him to send me a bill and closed the working door.
One hour later, another company arrived, replaced the 2 springs and the cable. Apologized for having to charge travel time for Saturday. Presented me with a bill that totaled $220!
Beware of these guys!!
