Past experience
Service: Broken Garage Door Spring Repair
They were super responsive, got a technician out there very quickly. They got the job done super quickly as well. The technician was very knowledgeable and replaced two springs within an hour. They are expensive, and the tech was pretty condescending.
Thank you for your feedback, we appreciate your business.

The service was efficient and quick. However it was much more expensive than I was told over the phone. When I called for service I ask about the free service call with any repair and I was told they were not aware of a coupon offer. I was only able to find a coupon on the internet for $15 not the full service charge. The TV ad and internet is advertising $75 off. That was disappointing and misleading.

Very timely response. Polite and knowledgeable technician who did good job installing opener and springs. I thought pricing was very high, especially for the springs after doing more research. I think they should have charged me 1/2 of what they charged. Would be 5 stars if pricing was more reasonable.

Hi. First of all, our city is Aberdeen,NC. The program would not allow me to change. Roger and I were very happy with the installation yesterday afternoon. The guy seemed very knowledgeable and moved quickly. We never saw the garage door from the outside yesterday but upon leaving the house this am, there is a dent in the third panel, visible from the outside only. I left a message on the number given and sent an email to customer service. We would appreciate your attention in review and replacement of this damaged panel. Thank you, Kathy Cordial
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. We are sorry the installer didn't bring this to your attention or our attention so we could get it taken care of before you had to reach out to us first. We have spoken with him about his communication with customers and the office staff. Since this review, you have spoken to our door manager and as he stated, we will get this taken care of as quickly as possible. We appreciate your business and will keep you updated on the arrival of the replacement panel.

While I appreciate an advance call from a technician telling me how I should just replace the garage door keypad myself and save some money, clearly that isn’t something I felt comfortable doing. Hence why I called you all in the first place. If a customer doesn’t take you up on the offer of just ‘doing it themselves’ the first or second time, it probably doesn’t make sense to state it a third and fourth time; just adding to the frustration. In the end, yes it was fixed the day I called; hence the three stars. But based on this interaction, I would not recommend this company.
Thank you so much for providing feedback about your experience and bringing this to our attention. This isn't something we instruct our technicians to do unless the customer initiates the conversation. We have had a very lengthy conversation with Paul and used this as a teaching example for the rest of the employees. We appreciate you choosing Precision and please know if we can help in the future, we are here for you. You will certainly not have this kind of interaction again with one of our employees.

The technician took seconds to look at the garage door and made an immediate assessment that it could not be repaired but needed to be totally replaced. He also implied that the door should not be opened as it was totally unsafe, which pressured us to feel we needed to replace the door. However, we contacted a second company whose technician inspected the door for 15 minutes then gave us a complete breakdown of the problems and gave us an estimate for the repairs. He repaired the door in 70 minutes and the cost was 1/3 of what you quoted for replacement. We felt as though he was honored to serve us and did so professionally and financially. First appearances are very important. Thank you!

I was very pleased with their responsiveness and the tech that came out (Richard) was very personable, knowledgeable and professional. However, in my opinion, the cost to replace my 2 springs and cables was stupid expensive and I’m kicking myself for not shopping around more. I was prepared to pay a certain price based on the loose estimate I was given over the phone but the options I was given by the tech before the work started easily exceeded that. I should have paid the service fee and gone elsewhere, so shame on me. Looking at the price of the parts on Amazon, which I assume this company gets for the same amount or less from whoever their supplier is, you get an idea of the massive markup and labor that is added in. I felt a bit “screwed” all day yesterday and it was the first thing I thought about this morning so it still stings. Good, quick work for sure as I certainly didn’t want to mess w/ dangerous springs having not worked with them before, so I paid for that, but will definitely shop around next time.
Thank you for sharing your feedback and calling us to service your garage door. We did review your account and listened to the recorded call. The scheduler advised you that the price per spring could be between $88.00- $249.00. You were charged $249 per spring and the spring you approved was one of the powder coated, heavy duty, high cycle springs, so they are of course the most expensive of the quoted price. You also had cables replaced and a tune up done on your door which was part of the cost. All of these items/prices were discussed with you and approved before work was started. We completely understand you can find items online for cheaper, but they are not always the same quality as what we purchase to provide our customers. We never want a customer to fee "screwed" which is why the quote is discussed in detail before we start work so you have the option to approve it and move forward, or decline it and seek quotes from other companies. We are happy we could help repair your garage door and we're always here if you need us in the future.
The upsale practice is a turn off for me. The three options not such an issue, it's the "if you don't do this then this will break." I know selling when I hear it. The tech was friendly and arrived in allotted time frame.
Thank you for sharing your experience. We are sorry to see you rated the service/quote provided as a 3 because you didn't like how the recommendations were provided. Our technicians are highly trained and once a 25 point inspection is performed on the garage door, they are to present you with multiple options. Option one is just repair what you called us for and then the other options can cover more in depth repairs/replacements. The choice is yours to make on what you'd like done and how much of your money you want to spend. Our goal is for all customers to receive 5 star service and we hate that you feel as though you didn't. If we can help in the future, please don't hesitate to call.

Greg was on time, knowledgeable and honest! He had my door working in approximately an hour! The reason for the 3 stars 1) no 24 hour service available 2) Greg wanted to install springs that were too weak for my door and then take parts off the door until it worked Note: I was willing to replace; springs, rollers, cables and drums 3) $375 in labor for approximately an hour of labor “pricey”! IMHO
Thank you for your business and feedback. We are pleased to see that you were happy with Greg. We do understand that you feel the price was high for the length of time Greg worked on your door. He is an experienced technician so what might take a new technician longer, he is able to do in a timely manner and be respectful of your time, as well as other customers on the schedule. The service he provided was to get your door operating again as it was not operable and he reset your cables and re-tensioned your springs. Greg stated he did recommend a parts upgrade as your existing springs are too weak/small for your heavy door and the cables, bearings, and shaft failed the 25 point inspection, but you declined the recommendation at this time. If you change your mind and would like to move forward with the additional work, please don't hesitate to call us.

We had a small dent in our door. I'm not sure if your technician saw that as an opportunity or if he truly felt we should get a new door. In the future give your customers options. Fortunately we never go with one quote. The company we ended up hiring charged a fraction of your estimate and our door works like a charm. We didn't need a new door. Don't try to upsale unless it is truly needed.
Thank you for considering Precision to service your garage door. We are very sorry about the miscommunication with the technician about what you actually wanted. We did speak with him to see what happened and he was under the impression after suggesting a panel swap that you did not want a panel swap, but that you wanted an insulated door. He even spoke with the service manager while at your home and the service manager offered to discount the door quotes that the technician provided you, as he thought that was what you wanted. We do apologize for dropping the ball and the technician not offering you other options than just a full door replacement. We would be happy to work with you in the future and we hope this one experience doesn't keep you from reaching out if needed.

The technician was efficient and friendly, arriving at our house within a couple of hours of me phoning. The job was done well and in good time Some extras items were recommended which I went ahead with but you never know if it’s really needed. I do feel the price charged was super expensive, a rebuild on the double garage door with spring replacement plus spring replacement on our single garage door was $1500. It does come with a 7 year guarantee and the springs are good quality so we should be good to go for many years. Even so if I had time I would have definitely shopped around.
Thank you so much for your business and taking the time to provide feedback. We hate to see that you did not receive five star service, as we strive for that on every call we go on. We try our best to be as competitive as possible with our pricing and we completely understand when customers want to shop around. We do encourage customers when shopping around, to make sure they compare the quality of parts and warranty given so it matches what we offer our customers. Our parts are heavy duty, high cycle parts and we stand behind them and typically provide a long warranty. Other companies that are cheaper don't offer the same as we do, so while it is more budget friendly, you might end up needing more service sooner than expected. At the time the technician reviewed the quote with you, we would have loved to have heard your concerns so we could have possibly worked on the pricing if it was available. We do look forward to working with you again in the future if the need arises, but hopefully you will not run into any issues anytime soon. We appreciate you being our customer and we're always here when you need us.

The technician was great. But the services are way overpriced. I will shop around next time.
Thank you for your business and taking the time to leave a review. We are happy to see that Mike was able to take care of your garage door needs but we are sorry you feel like the quote you were given was overpriced. After reviewing your work order, it shows you failed a handful of items on the 25 point inspection. Those items are discussed with each customer on every call and what steps/options are available to fix those issues if a customer would like that done. Mike would have discussed this with you so if you had questions about the price or work, he could have answered those questions before the work was started. We are competitive with our pricing as our parts and the service provided is top notch and we strive to make sure our customers receive five star service with every call. We do appreciate your business and hope to work with you again in the future. If you have further questions about pricing, please feel free to call the office.

Let me first say our technician was wonderful. Highly recommend I needed to get two springs installed. That went great The price was $600. I consider that to be well silly I did pay it but not sure I would use these guys again They were great but the price is too high
Thank you for your business and taking the time to give us your feedback. We hate to see that you didn't receive 5 star service. After reviewing the ticket for your job, I see that you were quoted for two platinum, high cycle, powder coated springs. Our springs are higher quality and have a typical life span that is 3-4 times longer than springs our competitors sell. Our technicians review the quote with customers on every call before any work is done, so in case there are questions, they can get answered before work is started. If you have further questions, please call the office and we will be happy to assist you.

It is too early to write a review. I have to see if the garage doors work better and if so, for how long. I was very unhappily surprised by the bill, which was three times what I thought I had authorized. Mike, the Service Représentative was knowledgeable and answered my questions. He then recommended new ball bearings for one of the doors. I thought I had authorized $250 to be spent. My husband paid him and told me the bill was $700. That was for two doors ball bearings replacement and a tuneup. That is $450 more than what I expected and absolutely a budget killer. I am not happy. I should have required a written estimate prior to authorizing the work. He should have told us what the total estimated amount would be. Saying « I am not happy » is putting it mildly. Very mildly.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and for your business. We appreciate you taking our call to discuss pricing questions and what we can do to make this correct. We apologize for the inconvenience but we are happy we could make it right by providing you with a partial refund as we discussed on the call. We always strive for every customer to feel like they received 5 star service with every call we go on and we are sorry we missed the mark with you. Please let us know if we can assist you in the future with any door needs.

******UPDATE****** After posting the above review, I was contacted by Precision. There was a $250 mistake made in the initial bill which was corrected. In addition, in an effort to improve customer satisfaction an additional credit was also applied reducing the total bill to just under $900. As a result of the follow-up activities, I have adjusted the review to 3 stars. ++++++++++++original one star review++++++++++ The process to engage Precision was great and smooth. Excellent communication and timely response. However, the positives STOP THERE. When the tech arrived, it was upselling at every turn. Suddenly the cost skyrocketed first to $950 then another nearly $400 on top of that! The final bill was more than $1000 higher than any previous spring replacement I have had done. I contacted the company immediately afterward but have not had any response. I am astounded at the overall cost and will not be using this company again. Caveat emptor!
Rick, Thank you for taking my call and allowing me to make your experience with Precision as close to a 5 star experience as possible. As I explained, our new system did not forward your email and I truly have no excuse or even explanation for it. I've spoken to our technicians and went over the process of billing when we do total rebuilds, which is what was done to your doors and how not to add the cost of a spring to the order. I've also made sure to explain to them that maintenance done to an additional door must be noted so that it's not confusing to the customers and that it is made clear work was completed on 2 doors, not 1. Again, I would like to reiterate that our primary goal is to give all of our customers a 5 star experience and I hope we have accomplished this. Have a blessed day!

The technician who fixed my door in October didn't do it quite right, and this second visit from a more experienced person corrected the problem. I'm disappointed that there's such variation in experience level but pleased that the problem has been fixed.

They were very responsive and repaired the spring quickly, efficiently, and courteously. However, the price is very high and they strongly recommend additional services which increase the cost. I recommend getting multiple quotes.

I had Precision come out a while back for a broken spring, drums/cables, and rollers. We were in a hurry to get it resolved so I didn't call around for estimates. The technician was nice and the work performed was good, but the price was on the high side. The owner, Susan, did an excellent job of following up and explained that all my parts had a lifetime warranty which is what differentiates them from others, but also draws a higher price. If you're shopping for the best deal, then get multiple estimates.
