Chris W, Los Alamitos

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
