5 Tips to Saving Money on Garage Door Repairs And Service

1. When searching for garage door service on the internet, do not use the pay per click

companies. These are usually the first companies listed for the search, with a small AD

box beside the company name. These companies pay as much as $30-$70 and even

more per click. This results in higher prices since not all clicks are converted to calls, and

not all calls are converted to sales. The pay per click sights are more likely to lead to rip

off companies.

2. Google Maps is not recommended as a source for finding garage door repair and service

companies. Companies can enter multiple locations using home and other addresses.

Google maps will send a post card to the location with a code on the postcard. The

company then uses this code to create a new link on the map. Google maps does not

verify this is a valid company or even a valid address. It can be very easy for rip off

companies to create locations using Google Maps.

3. It is best to use the results you will find listed under the Google maps. These are the

organic results of the search. Google uses algorithms to find the most relevant sights

based on your search criteria. These sights are more likely to contain the content you

are searching for.

4. Use YELP! Yelp uses the best algorithms in the world for providing customer reviews.

Yelp is very reliable. Try to find companies with many reviews, more than 10-15. It is

very difficult for companies to put fake reviews in Yelp. The reviews you see in Yelp are

reliable customer reviews. Yelp is not free of problems, but it provides the most

accurate information. Yelp, unlike individual company sights, does not allow the

company to edit or delete the customer’s reviews.

5. Make sure the company will send out a certified technician free of charge. The

company should provide a free estimate, and the technician should be able to perform

the repairs on the spot if a price is agreed on. Companies that trust its pricing will be

happy to send out a technician free of charge, if they are a local company, gas prices

should not equal a service charge just to come out.
