Champion Garage Door Repair, I had someone who came out on 12/31/23 and replaced my motor, and did maintenance and with labor came out to $1000. He said he was out of New York, but again, it has a phone # of 844-924-3388. I called them, and she asked me my name, address, and date of service. After I told her, I never heard from her again, 10 minutes later, I said, HELLO, but never returned. I did call a Champions Garage Door, but in Maryland. After 8+ months is it even worth reporting it to the Fraud People?? Thanks!!

My elderly dad called out of a book to have garage fixed. Two guys came out and said to replace the whole thing $1500. My dad gave them the credit card before we could talk. The two guys were Israelis and the manager on the phone was too and his name was Alan. They did come out and put the door in and got it working. They were supposed to haul away the door and steel but said they’d come back and also never put the three stripping sides up. Reading the other reviews we were very fortunate. We’ve been calling to them back. At this point if they don’t I will contacting colleagues in Shayetet 13 and Shin Bet.

I called a different company (Billerica Olympus Garage Doors) to replace a single cable that was fraying and off the pulley on one side. The company, an emergency service I assume, sent out Champion Garage Doors (844-924-3388) the next day (today).

Repair duo called me this AM asking for my address to text them and I did. They arrived in an unmarked gray RAM 1500 with numbers and a name for yet another garage door repair service that was different on their sweatshirts.

After inspection, they told me I also needed to replace the springs as one was dented and pulled up some bogus website saying it cost $625 for the spring parts. He said total would be $1,200 – that it would cost $200 to repair the cable, $200 for new pulleys, $625 for springs, and $150 for labor – which doesn’t even cost $1,200, it’s $1,175.

I looked up cost of parts – pulleys cost less than $10 each, cables cost $12-15 each, and the HIGH END springs rated for my door were less than $95 for two. I told them at the end of the install, which I supervised, and they kept insisting that parts at Home Depot were not correct and theirs were guaranteed for a lifetime.

I told them their website also listed a 15% savings on springs and 10% on cable repair. He said he’d give me the 15% on springs, but the cable repair was for tension replacement (which…is what they did?) They knocked off $100. At this point, as a single woman with two men in my garage that were getting agitated/annoyed, I decided to pay them.

They asked to do a Zelle transfer and I told them absolutely not – I would do a check or credit card payment. They asked what bank I had and it would be easy. I remained firm. They told me it would cost 7% extra for a credit card and I told them my credit card would reimburse me – they seemed nervous at this and asked what I meant. I played it off that they would reimburse my fees – they said it was from their end with fees though. Not wanting to pay an additional $70, I ended up writing a check. I was going to put the business name but they guy said it had to be made out to his manager as a personal check. I told them that was really shady and they said they didn’t take checks from the company anymore so they were doing me a favor.

I looked up more about their info and found it here as a scam – also found out from a webpage on the MA government site that a contract is required for any work over $1,000, which they did not provide.

I called the original company with these complaints with gouging costs and a different company showing up. They said a manager would call me (but didn’t take down any of my information). I told them I’d be stopping the check.

Luckily, it’s Sunday and I’ve already put a stop payment on the check and verified it with my bank, so good luck with that!

We were taken (my elderly mother) by Champion Garage Doors phone number 844-924-3388 for $775. He said needed to take off to measure couldnt give an estimate till then. Only cable on one right side needed repair. He took apart both sides then left on floor and said $775
She felt he would have charged a service fee then leave the garage open all disassembled if she said no. She said sounds like alot he said he needed to replace both sides to make even! She called to question price after speaking with family and we were suspicious. She was told management would call back. (that didnt happen)We tried calling back we get disconnected. If I block number it also disconnects. He (his nephew supposedly) after asking for cash,debit card, or zillow had her write out a check to his uncle Adir (Adis) Mamohe (Manoke) (Manohi) I cant read her writing. It was cashed the same day. 🙁

I paid First Garage Doors Orange County $1100 to repair a problem that my garage door was opening on its own and closing. First Garage Doors did the installation in the very beginning and then when I had called them back when the problem first started about two years ago they quoted me $179 to come out just to take a look at the problem and that there would be additional charges for the repair… They never did show up nor did they call the gentleman name is Johnathan and he is a crook… I have been told by Jazmin the girl that answers the phone that he is the owner. He showed me his tattoos on his right forearm and said that the interpretation was that he was *****.. he said that he would fix the problem and because I had a multiple amount of non-functioning equipment he replaced him and he did not give me an estimate of the total amount until after he was getting these parts out and that is when he told me how much it would cost. He started out at $940 and the cost went up from there. I still have the same problem. My garage door is still open and on its own without any initiation, the remote pressing the button.. When I called the owner, he said that he was going to talk to the technician Sam and ask him why the charges were so much and get me a discount… Sam told me that he got his charges from Johnathan pointing is going back-and-forth and I am in the middle of this lie…. Neither has Johnathan call me back nor has the technician. He said that he wasn’t feeling good the next day and he could not talk to me. Neither of them have ever called me back and I am not $1100 with the same problem. I am reporting them the Contractors board. My phone number is ***-***-****. My name is Didi Martinez DEDEMARTINEZ.. I need your help. These people are crooks.!!!!

In reply to M. Sheldon. Hello M. Sheldon, the Champion Garage Door that is being referred to could be associated with Garage Door Services of Texas, which is known to have used the names of other reputable garage door repair companies throughout the years.

Mass- Northshore Area
I work for a “REAL” garage door company and I am finding more and more predator’s out there. I recently spoke with a family who was taken by said “Champion Garage Door” with the same phone number 844 listed in the above comment. They were charged almost $1000 for 1/2 hour of work. They said it would be $250.00 for each remote control that they were inquiring on getting, and they had replaced 10 rollers, got door back in track. Simple repair for 1/2 hours worth of work. At the most by our company that would have been a $375.00 including the 2 remotes they needed. They got the bill down to $625.00 which is still a scammers total and they were screwed over. I have written letters for customers of what the charges should have been, helped customers get their money back from these crooks. The sad thing is they will continue to take advantage of the elderly and that one adult presenting in the household asking for the service call. Too bad they waited to pick up the phone and call another door company to price shop. I was that door company, and I wish they called before the work was done.
If you think its too high it is.
Oh final thought- another case they don’t like taking credit cards, one customer insisted on it. When it hit the customers credit card bill- it was ran though a beauty salon. NOT a garage door company. SMH Buyer beware
