Concur. DO NOT CALL Discount Garage Door! The springs on my garage door broke on Sunday and DGD came today, Monday PM. I have a Camellia style house (frame version of Gardenia) with the standard 16' aluminum garage door. The technician (Roger) offered me two packages. #1 was replacement of both springs and the bearing for 10 year warranty for $638.25. #2 was same as #1 plus replacement of all rollers, tracks, etc. for lifetime warranty for $846. I was shocked but elected package #1 after a small discount was applied. The technician told me The Villages (Romac) installs builders grade springs which only last 5-6 years. Mine lasted 8 years. He said I was lucky. He put in much larger springs and said they were manufactured for 100,000 cycles. But for that price, I will NEVER call DGDs again!
