great people to work with, came quickly and helped me out, chain had come off, John was here next day, on a Saturday, did a partial rebuild on site, lubed , and adjusted, works like new! and price was very reasonable! 5 stars! couldn't be happier! i highly recommend!!! read more

The guys from A-1 were great. They showed up when they said they would and fixed my garage door and installed a new opener. Excellent work

Scheduling and installation of a replacement garage door opener went very well. They gave me instructions on how to setup online and activate the remote services. I was having trouble with the online setup after the technicians left. I sent an email asking to be contacted to see what I might have been doing incorrectly, and received a phone call right away. Here's where they lost the 5th star. In a condescending way, the owner (John, I believe) told me that he couldn't help me and that I should just follow the directions that I was already given. Very off putting after such great service prior. The problem was apparently because of a firmware update because everything worked as it was supposed to do the next morning without doing anything different. read more

Fast and reliable!! Thank you They helped replace springs and rollers on my old work van roll up door

Qualiy service - at a very reasonable price. Very happy with a same day door repair - on s Saturday too! Especially appreciated the explanation as to what broke, and how to prevent it from happening again. Given the information, went ahead and opted for the more permanent fix, at not a lot more in cost. Even went the extra mile and lubed the other garage door hardware as well. A very positive experience, and fully recommend. Thanks A-1! read more

One of our springs broke. A-1 specialist showed up quickly and did a great job. The garage door is now very quiet and quick. Great job. I would highly recommend them. read more

I called the morning of 9/27 and spoke with John about having an older 8 foot style flip up door replaced with a modern roll up door in north Oak Harbor. Wes stopped by for a site check the same day, and Sharon sent a quote. By 3pm the very next day the old flip up door was gone and the new door with an electric opener was installed in its place! This was a more difficult install because the garage was framed for the flip up door and Wes did a great job making it work. Thanks to Wes, John and Sharon for the exceptional customer service! Highly recommend. ~Derek N. read more

Excellent service! Fast, courteous and competent, as well as knowledgeable advice. Highly recommend!

Great service. Awesome response to a simple problem, but we couldn't fix ourselves. Super easy to schedule and very reliable in fixing quickly. Thank you. read more

Our garage door was buckling and knew if we kept using it we would probably do more damage. I called A1 on a Friday night and John said he will be in the area on Saturday. He called, as promised, 20 minutes before he showed up. He was able to use a brace and discussed the plan to fix and give us more time before we have to replace the door completely. Great service and highly recommend! read more

First off, John is the nicest, most professional person I have met in years! Super prompt, calls or texts with an ETA, can't be happier. We originally thought we special ordered brown wood looking CHI doors, which were more expensive than the regular white ones. But looks so much cooler. On installation day, I saw they were not the correct ones. Im assuming it was a proper lack of communication (and understanding of how specific one can get when ordering these doors), but John said it was no problem! No extra charge. He installed the two door bay with the new door and put in the order for the new doors. No complaints, nothing. He just kept saying he wants us to be happy!! Now take two, our beautiful brown doors are here and he suggests we get a belt drive on the main door, with motion sensor lights, keypad, retina scan (lol, no), new remotes, program my car, pretty much everything for a lot less than my neighbor said he paid with someone else. To be honest, I secretly wanted all of those things because our master bedroom is over the garage. When my husband leaves super early, or gets called in in the middle of the night, its like a goddamn freight train rolling under our bed, waking me and the little one up. If you are in need of any sort of garage door services, install, new doors, which is a lot less expensive than one would think, and totally changes the look of your house for the better! Then call John! Is is da bes!!! read more

During the snow and freeze our garage door quit working. We could not get our cars out. My husband recently had a heart attack, so we needed so have the garage door working. Called A-1 @ 8am they were at our house @ 11am and had it fixed. I would recommend them in a New York minute. The technician was very professional. Thank you read more

Fast, reasonable, efficient and professional. What else would you want. Highly recommended. Replaced spring and lubed door.

This is not our first experience with the consummate professionals at A1 Garage Door Specialist. This time around, John and his trusty assistant Aaron visited as soon as they could, replaced our 20 year old garage door lift with a far superior product and started to repair the locking mechanism another single garage door on the premises. The price was right for both. These clever young men are symphony in motion, with no wasted motions. They carry a truck full of tools and parts. John was able to order a special remote for my "special" car and a handle for the door downstairs. We could not be more pleased! read more

These guys are simply the best! Great price on a new door, opener, spring, and rails! Removal of the old and installation of the new system was expertly and expeditiously completed! They came highly recommended by our realtor when we purchased our home 10-years ago and have replaced several of our neighbors garage doors with high praise! From a spring failure to a new door installation these are my go to guys! read more

Awesome service and experience! THANKS to John in restoring my beat up door mechanism, after replacing my broken counter balance spring and worn out bearing, he was able to install my new Chamberlain wi-fi garage opener too!. read more

Fantastic service, quick and easy! I had a stuck garage door that hasn't functioned since I bought the house four years ago. A1 came out a day after I called and fixed the door in 10 minutes! Super happy with the service and I would call A1 again. Strongly recommend this company for your garage door needs! read more

Great Customer Service! I called and left a message, returned my call that day. The owner explained he was going to be out of town but he'd stop by to get the info for the order if I chose his company. The fit us in with their busy schedule and were so very polite and easy to work with. I did look at our local big box store and it was a whole thing trying to coordinate. A1 stopped by took measurements, gave a quote, stuck to the quote (same or less than big box store-without the hassle) and installed perfectly. read more

I would highly recommend these folks, they are very responsive, quick and reasonably priced. Outstanding service. John is exceptionally customer focused. A pleasure to deal with. read more

I called A-1 Specialist when the tenant in my Oak Harbor rental property called me because the garage door would not open. Since I don't live in the area, John (the owner) worked with me to coordinate everything w/ a local friend. He was able to make repair the issue the very same day & for a reasonable price. Fast, Professional, Reliable, & Friendly... I would definitely recommend him. read more

Impossible to give anything but 5 stars. Door spring broke at 8 pm yesterday, called John at 9:30, HE CALLED ME RIGHT BACK, and by 10 am today it was fixed. This guy is a national treasure and a rare breed -- does what he says and gets it done. Thanks John! read more

A True Professional! This is the second time I have had my garage door repaired in less than a year. I thought the problem was repaired the first time then it resurfaced again. I called John and explained the problem and he had suggested the springs may be going bad and causing the door to be too heavy for the motor. He came out the next day and sure enough, one spring was failing causing the second to fail too. he repaired the door at what I deem a fair price. I have made nearly all my home repairs but refuse to mess with the garage door springs because I know they can cause a lot of damage and injury if an untrained person makes a bad mistake. John was easy to talk to and very professional. I will use him again since I own 4 garage doors with auto openers. Thanks, Johnny F read more

I called A-1 on a Saturday Afternoon regarding a problem with my door, he showed up in twenty minutes and fixed the door for a fraction of what it would have cost to get a new opener. He was friendly, on-time, and very reasonably priced. If you live in Oak Harbor and have any issue with your garage door call them and no one else! read more

This morning I called A-1 Garage Door Specialist in Oak Harbor about 9.30 am (I'm in Anacortes) and he agreed to meet me at my condominium unit at 11.00 am. He was prompt and said he could fix my problem (broken spring)in 30 minutes. He was very courteous and had the necessary spring to fix my problem in his truck. His rate was very reasonable and I would definitely recommend him to anyone with garage door problems. Five stars to John***** read more

John answered the phone on a Sunday night after Thanksgiving weekend and said he could stop by the next day to look at our broken garage door. After having a "big" company come out this summer and charge a obscene amount for new springs and trying to pressure sell all these things we needed it was nice to have a honest man arrive at our door. He was courteous and professional. He arrived and fixed the problem in under 1/2 an hour for a very reasonable price. I would recommend him to anyone. My wife wanted to hug him as he was so kind and helpful. read more

I needed a garage door opener and installation. John (the owner of the company) was friendly on the phone and his prices were a lot cheaper than Sears and O'Brien's. He went above and beyond what was expected of him from me. Not only did he install the garage door opener, lube and adjust the garage door, but he also lubed and inspected my OTHER garage door and adjusted its opener, which was previously installed by a friend. Noticing that our friend made some errors with the brackets attached to the garage door, he replaced and repaired the brackets FOR FREE! He could have easily taken me for some new springs, but he informed me that the springs I have, while old, are a thicker metal than what is available now, and are still in good shape. I could definitely tell John cared about the quality of work he did, and he was very informative. He told me to call him anytime with any questions or if I need help programming the remotes or keypad. read more

The spring in our garage door broke and when my daughter went to get her car out of the garage the door would not open. Our neighbor Buzz gave us the business card for A-1 Garage Door Specialist. Buzz had used A-1 before and told us to call John. This was on a Saturday and when I called John he was on Camano Island and we live in Stanwood, so John said he would be by shortly. True to his word he showed up and replaced both springs. Like the other review he was fast, professional and very friendly. I would not have any problem recommending this company to anyone. read more

My garage door spring broke and I couldn't get the door open. Knew what happened. Googled "Garage door spring repair 98277." Saw this A-1 company on Yelp with all 5-star reviews. Called the number. John happened to be in the neighborhood and was here in 5 minutes. Replaced both springs with heavy duty ones in about 20 minutes. Had all the right tools and parts. A very professional and positive person and a great repair experience for me. Probably will never need his services again, but I sure do highly recommend A-1 for others when their garage door spring breaks. read more

These guys did a fabulous job! from when they came out to chat with us about what our options were, looking at our existing garage door opener and telling us that it was just fine (they could have easily sold us a new one but they did not), and then they worked with us to get us the right door to fit in our tight space so it would work well. Professional, helped me with getting the different garage door openers working. the door looks amazing! read more

Two days ago my garage door stopped working. I futzed around with the sensor and remotes for a day to no avail. Yesterday I called, A1 Garage Door Specialist (Wes) to see if they could help me out. I first spoke with Wes around 11:30. He told me to leave all my pertinent info on his voice mail and he'd get back to me as soon as he could complete his work for the day. At 5:00 he called back, was in my garage by 5:30 and had replaced a bad spring and adjusted a few other things to get my garage door up and running by 6:30. I can only say they were great! Same day service and he had all the parts! Wes didn't try to sell me a bunch of things I didn't need, but gave me good advice on going forward with my 14 year old door. I am super pleased with the cost and the quality of the work. Oh and let's not forget that Wes and his helper were both cordial and professional. read more

John was actually doing some work on my neighbors house and I approached him with my remote programming problem. He happily helped me out and replaced my garage bulbs too. When I offered to pay he refused money and continued to lubricate my garage door bearings! You don't find genuine businessmen like him too often read more

John at A1 garage door got a panicked call from me in December 2017 after a coworker recommended him. I was sure that I broke my garage door after a little fight between it and my truck that morning. My husband was out of town and I had no idea how to fix it. I was happy to learn about the garage door specialist. John was able to come repair my garage right when I got off work. It took him like 10 minutes and he showed me what to do for next time. He even did a little extra work to make sure my door was running smoothly. I will forever be grateful that he went out of his way to make time at 530 in the evening to help me. I highly recommend him for all of your garage needs. Professional, kind, quick responses, very fair, and honest! Thank you John! :) read more

A1 garage door Specialist should be changing their name to A+ because that's the grade they deserve. John and Wes were great. John did a repair to my 3 car garage and installed a new opener at the single side door of my garage. John did a phenomenal job. He was finished in less than 2 hours. His workmanship is superb and they have extremely fair prices for their work. During the initial consultation Wes gave us his expert opinion on our personal garage needs and didn't try to pressure us or upsell us to repairs or items we didn't need. A1 is a 100% professional, good, hard working American company and I'll be recommending them to all of my friends and family. They will also be the first call I make when I'm ready to upgrade to sturdier, better made, insulated garage doors. read more

I had a part break and instead of buying the whole opener. He was able to isolate the part I needed and even gave me a good deal on top of it. This is the only Guy to call for garage door repairs. read more

Great service and communication. Came out on a Sunday afternoon to inspect and adjust my garage door.

John, came out right away late on a Monday evening to give me an estimate. When he arrived and looked at the door, he gave me a very reasonable price and asked if he could fix it now. 30 minutes later my garage door was in tip top shape and in great working order. I would recommend John and A-1 Garage Door specialist or "The Spring King" to anyone who needs repairs to their garage door. Very courteous, knowledgeable and professional.... Thanks John you did a great job!!!! Shawn read more
