Sharon R, Costa Mesa

Service: Garage Door Opener Installation

My garage door opener motor failed and the chain had broken. I called Champion who came out. They were friendly, professional, answered all of my questions and offered a repair option versus getting a new garage door opener. Due to my opener’s age, I decide to get a new one. It was easy to order and they were able to complete the installation work the same visit. They spent time helping me to understand how it works and set it up with my phone. The service is much appreciated and I’ll recommend them to anyone

Jacqueline W, Yorba Linda

Service: Repair Garage Door

The service was fantastic! The repairman identified and resolved the issue immediately. He fixed the cable, adjust the opener belt and lubricated everything. My garage door now works better than it was new. Amazing service and great price!

Tom J, Huntington Beach

Service: Garage Door Opener Installation

Had Champion Garage Door of Huntington Beach come out Saturday and Sal gave me a bid on replacing my garage door motor. His bid was lower than other bids that I received. He answered all my questions concerning my installation. His workers were on time and replaced my motor in a timely manner. The garage door now opens quieter & smoother than the previous one I had. In the future I would not hesitate to call Champion for any garage door repairs.
