I had a garage door service recently and think I got hosed. If you have had similar work done, details following, I’d be curious what you paid. PM me if you prefer

Chamberlain belt drive full set: WiFi, track bar, remotes and number pads
Heavy duty connecting bracket affixed to door
Torsion springs
Coiled drums
Bearings

Just to give you an idea, the springs were quoted at $1800.

Appreciate your input.

We had new springs installed a year or 2 ago. Ryan O'Cull charged us about $400. He was prompt and efficient. Had the springs on hand. Came on a Friday evening because we had somewhere to be on Saturday.

Ryan O'Cull did ours last summer for about the same amount.

Just a note about Ryan. Just this last week I called Ryan and got the message that he is out of state and doesn't know when he'll return. Used him in the past and he was great. Was hoping to get a garage door tune up and new bottom door seal.

My (single) spring broke in my garage door, and I called a well-known garage door Co.
A young man came, took about 20 mins. for an estimate.

He gave me a complete repair bill of $2800 I thought, wow, for just a new spring.
His estimate was for a complete rebuild, cables, bearings, replace the rollers with additional spring that needed for my size door.

I laughed and said I'm old and, on a budget, and thought that was expensive for a new spring.

So, I said no I wouldn't pay that and he said, just a minute, I'll make a call from my truck and be back.

He came back with the same offer for a complete rebuild for $750,00.

I said OK.

Personally, I think most wealthy fat cats living in TV, would be ok with the first price.
Watch makes these Company's try this crap.

The wealthy fat cats didn't get wealthy by being ripped off.

Never replace just one torsion spring. You need to replace both of them, and you don't need a complete rebuild if you just have a broken spring. And, the price should be less than $400 to replace both springs. If any contractor provides a high price and then reduces it, I won't hire them.

and you don't need a complete rebuild if you just have a broken spring.

Just because their wealthy is no guarantee of that.


That would be determined by the age of the garage door.

Your post is useless because it lacks the only important information.
