Service: Repair Garage Door

When I came home from work this afternoon and went to open my garage door there was an awful noise somewhere between a grinding and squealing sound. I called Champion Garage Door Repair and they had someone there within an hour. The repairperson who arrived was friendly, found the problem almost immediately (broken springs and cables) and then had it fixed in no time. Overall, the price was fair and the service was exceptional. I recommend them to anyone

I called Champion at 3:24pm On Friday. Their Tech , Omar, came to our house at 4:30 for evaluation. After we agreed over the service cost, he stared to work right the way. He work very fast and miticulesrly. He finished the work and tested the garage door multiple times and left at about 6pm. I am very happy with his work quality and demeanor. I recommend them 100%.
