When your garage door breaks and you live in a home without a driveway, your only option to park is on the street...which in my neighborhood can by very challenging. When I called the big-name company who helped me out the first time I had trouble with my door when I first moved in, they came within hours to help, so I tried them first. They couldn't get to me for 2 weeks, so I turned to Yelp and found Don & Denise at Central Garage Service had great ratings, including a rave review from someone I actually know, so I gave them a call. I'm so glad I did because Denise said that Don could be here the same day! I really appreciated that since I already had the day off, I wouldn't have to take leave another day. I get that service times need to be flexible based on the needs of each customer, andDenise was super responsive and kept me posted on Don's arrival time. He showed up, quickly assessed the problem (it was what we expected), had everything he needed to do the job, and took care of business. He was very honest and informative about the condition of my garage door motor, springs, cable, remote, etc. and didn't pressure us or try to upsell. He did however, confirm that our decision to replace the springs was smart by showing us when he removed them that they were very ready to break. Whew, glad we dodged that bullet. Something very important that we learned from Don is that garage doors need regular servicing (I lived in a house with a carport for all of my adult life, how would I have known that?!). It's nice to know that I can schedule Central Garage Door Service to come check out my new, super quiet and very fancy garage door on a regular basis so we can keep it in great shape. I was so pleased with Don's work that I introduced him to a neighbor who was walking by & he took down the contact info for when he needs service. The great service from Don & Denise makes me happy that I used Yelp to find them, and thrilled to support a local small business. Thanks to you both! read more

Don was great. I appreciated getting an explanation of the changes needed. They were punctual, professional and the service was quick.

Out Garage Door was giving us some trouble last Saturday and was getting anxiety knowing that most places are closed on the Weekends and while scrolling through Yelp looking for Garage Door Technician's this Business caught my eye with all their 5 star reviews and all I have to say is that Yelp didn't let me down on this one because whatever reviews you saw about Central Garage Service is all legit. This is a business run by a Husband and Wife and when I gave Denise a call on this particular Saturday I explained my situation with out Garage Door and I asked here when is the earliest they can take a look at it. I was expecting at least early next week but she told me her Husband can take a look at it just a few hours later. Man did this really take the anxiety out of me. Denise even asked me for my Cell Number so she can keep me updated on everything. Come to find out that Don was able to come over my house about an earlier because he finished his other job earlier than expected and Denise let me know through text messaging and that's simply amazing. I was expecting the worst from our Garage Door situation because our Garage Door Springs broke and the Door came slamming down to the ground. I thought the Door got damaged but when Don came over he looked at everything and told me that by looking at it there's only one way to find out as soon as I got my springs replaced. I appreciate Don's honesty about the situation. He also advised me that it might be time to replace my whole garage door opener as it was been 24 years since we last replaced it. He didn't even pressure me to get one even saying that I might want to call the last technician who replaced our springs and eventually get a part for it but I think it's about time to get a new one because it was time. Don recommended me get a Garage Door Opener that he has on hand and it was the Chamberlain Model which is really cool because it has an App I can download so I can see if my door has been opened or closed which leaves you a message on my phone for peace of mind. Don also installed a keyboard on the side of the garage door in case I get locked out of the garage and all k have to do is punch in my code and it will open. Way too cool for an old timer like me. Here is where the service here is next level. I asked Don if would be able to get the job done as soon as possible because I had to take my wife to work . He hesitated for awhile but I pleaded with him because I told him I was worried about Tropical Storm that was coming and I would be stressed that my car wouldn't be in the garage with possible debris flying all over the place and Don told me let's get to work ASAP. That's what you call going above and beyond and let's just say that Don got this job done well under the estimated time he gave me. I am forever grateful for not even hesitating and getting right into it. And after 24 years of living in our house, we finally have a totally brand new garage door opener which is a lot quieter now and now I don't even need a Garage Door Remote because I can open my Garage Door through my iPhone and also since my Car is only two years old he helped me activate my Garage Door Opener to my rear view Mirror which I never knew I could so I can just press a button to open to open and close it. What an incredible experience all thanks to Denise and Don. I highly recommend you give these two a call if you ever have any problems with your Garage Door whatsoever. Support these kind of family businesses because they are definitely a dying breed . Much Mahalo to you Don and Denise. read more

Amazing service and quality replacement parts by this business. Don is so knowledgeable and explains everything in the simplest of terms. I reached out to them, based on my parents referral, around 11 am on a Friday and Don came to repair my garage door at 3 pm, assessed the damage and finished everything before 4 pm. Mind you he was explaining the whole process and how things work. I learned so much about garage doors that I had no idea before. As for the repair, I had a broke torsion spring. He recommended I change out both, so I did that and he also did a complete check and maintenance work of all the parts included with the installation. My garage door is now balanced correctly and is quieter than ever. I also already referred them to my neighbor as I found that their torsion spring snapped as well. This business is 1000% referred for your garage repair needs at a very great price vs. Other garage repair businesses. You will not be disappointed. read more

Thank you Don! Been almost 8 years since Don last repaired our garage door springs... it finally gave out and needed another repair... didn't know on average garage door springs last on average 7-10 years. We did use our garage door more than our front door to let the dogs out. Called at 2:30pm and he was able to come by at 5pm that same afternoon. read more

Take every notion you have about having to hire a contractor and throw them out the garage door! Don and Denise are good, kind people first and business people second. When other garage door companies said no, CGDS said yes and we're on our way. In less than 24 hours, Don had our garage door working as good as new and even adjusted other components of the system to keep it in alignment. There was no BS, up selling, false promises, or poor work in this repair. Don is fair, honest, reliable, and an expert in what he does. No need to look any further. read more

Don installed a new garage door opener in my home on pretty short notice after our old one finally gave out. He explains everything he does very thoroughly and does the installation with care. He helped program the cars, the phones and side panel so that using the new opener was easy. He doesn't nickel and dime you. After having him do the work we feel like we will never have to look for another installer for life! read more

"Don" from Central Garage Door Service brought his Five Star A+ Service and Aloha changing out our garage door tension springs in record time. From the moment our call was answered to the predetermined on time arrival, Central Garage Door Service with Don was as spectacular! The Aloha interaction between Don and I was as smooth as how my garage door is now opening and closing! I'm pretty handy around the house but when it comes to tackling a garage door spring change here in Hawaii, with limited experience and lack of parts; I'm glad we made the call to Central Garage Door Service. Don not only accomplished the job professionally, but he also took the time to explain each step and then share his advise on what preventive maintenance that you can do yourself or choose to have done on an annual basis by Central Garage Door Service.

Thank you so much Dennis & Don for servicing our garage. It was a headache getting ahold of another company I used in the past but thankfully I came across this company on Yelp! I love that this business is small & run by a husband and wife duo. Scheduling and servicing was super! Definitely keeping my business. Extremely happy with my experience with them. Thank you so very much. read more

Don is professional, friendly and knowledgeable. When we called Central Garage Door Service today to inquire about availability to replace a broken spring, the family-operated company provided excellent customer service from beginning to end. Upon arrival, Don efficiently repaired our garage door and provided great tips. The total repair cost was also reasonable. We are extremely grateful to Central Garage Door Service and highly recommend this company. read more

Don knew right away what was needed to repair our garage door. He was appreciative we kept the roller parts & bolt things that fell off. He quoted the price prior to work commencement. Fair pricing for sure. His wife Denice kept in constant contact with us during scheduling & job commencement. We highly recommend this company & will keep them in our contacts for if-ever. Plenty aloha & malama pono here. 10 stars!!! read more

I think all business should take a page out of Central Garage Door play book on customer service and quality workmanship. Denise was quick to set up an appointment (the next day) and kept me updated on Don's arrival time. Don assessed my problem and quickly replaced my garage door stop switch. He gave me advise on how to better upkeep my over 15 year system and never tried to upsale me on parts and service. He did some maintenance unrelated on my system free of charge and educated me on the system I own. In the end, I decided to replace the spring while he was there. Great workmanship and highly recommend for your Garage Door system needs. read more

My 39 year old garage door stopped opening today. Called another company first from Yelp, they gave me a quote, and no availability for 7 days. Called Central Garage ~10am and spoke to Denise (Don's wife). For some reason, I thought I saw their rating at 4.8 stars or so, but it's actually a full 5 stars, NOT SURPRISED; I likely mixed up their company with another. Super friendly and professional. Great start already having her be the first contact. Said Don was available in ~2 hours. Don arrived, very friendly guy, just like his wife. Took a look at my garage setup and immediately pointed out issues and what he recommended to replace. Basically needed a new motor and torsion springs. (Again, my house is from 1985 and the garage equipment was never updated). Gave me upfront pricing, which was WAY cheaper than the competitors AND he could start on it immediately. WONDERFUL. I watched Don do his work the entire time. It was great because he explained everything about garage doors to me. What parts are called, how it should be functioning, what to look out for if things start to break down, how to perform regular maintenance, etc. He even said to just contact him with any questions in the future and if it's something small he can help me fix over the phone, he won't charge me for it. Another bonus. He takes credit card, and doesn't add any extra % for the fees. More travel miles for me! I can't recommend Don and Denise enough. Happy he did such a great job. Sad because he did such a great job and I likely won't need him for a long time haha. read more

I called at about 9:30 am, and by 11:45 am same day, he had showed up, finished the job, gave me some tips, and was on his way to the next job. Great responsiveness over the phone and a great value. Thanks guys read more

My garage door spring broke last night. Although they don't have a place to submit for a quote, I called around 730am and they were able to provide me with a quote. They had an opening for that morning around 10am. I took the appointment. About 5min later they called back saying that they could come earlier which worked out perfectly for me. Don was great. Our original garage door only had one spring. Although he could have just replaced the one spring, he recommended that I go with two. He wasn't pushy at all about this and the price was reasonable. After installation, he made some adjustments to the springs and garage door to get it perfect. No more garage door slamming and it is overall quieter. He pointed out a few things to do to keep the garage door working great. Overall, they were quick, friendly and reasonably priced. Highly recommend! read more

Central Garage Door Service - Broken spring - Garage Door Services Near Me

This company is EXCEPTIONAL with customer service and garage motor replacement/installation! This is small business owned by a husband and wife team, Don and Denice. Denice handles the scheduling of appointments, able to quote prices, and has excellent product knowledge. Don, is the master service technician. He is efficient, cleans up after completing the work, and taught me how to use the many motor unit features--external keypads, downloading the software on my smartphone, and product care/maintenance. I've learned that garage motors varies depending on the garage size and height. And, whether you want to install a belt or chain to lift/close the garage door. My suggestion is to use the belt as it is much quieter and the manufacturing of the belt is made to last. read more

Welp, 2nd review ever on Yelp and it's for CGDS. Don and Denise, you guys are awesome! Had minor issues (could have been way worse) with my garage door and they came the same day I called for an appt. Don was punctual and professional just like last time and Denise was so friendly and even remembered the last review I gave them. If you need your garage door serviced/repaired, don't hesitate to call. Pricing is extremely reasonable, especially for same day service. Can't beat it. Thx again CGDS! Hope you folks have a very Merry Christmas! read more

Denise and Don were quick to respond and their service was exceptional. Their prices are more than fair and I would highly recommend them! I really appreciated Don for taking the time to explain the installation process for the broken torsion spring and how to maintain the garage door. He's a superstar! read more

My old garage door wouldn't lift. Not surprised as the door is more than 21years old, I really thought I needed a new garage package. Couldn't happen at the worst time tho since I had multiple broken appliance and fixtures to replace. So when I saw those 5 wonderful yelp stars for Central Garage Door Service I had to give them a call while crossing my fingers, hoping it could be repaired and save money. It was a free estimate so I figure I'm not losing anything by having them check it out. . Sure enough, best decision I've made this year. From Denise, on the phone, so pleasant and positive, to Don, owner and serviceman, a true professional. He was very knowledgeable and he didn't push me in making my decision, he only he gave me my options. Don was kind and patient with all the questions I had as well as gave me pointers on how I may possibly keep my garage for many more years. Money well spent. He is definitely my go to guy for garage service from now on. Good people! read more

Don is the owner and technician that came to replace my broken garage door spring. You know how inconvenient it is when you click the garage door remote to open the garage door only to hear a loud crack. Well needless to say, I missed my appointment because I could not lift my garage door with a broken spring. Central Garage Door was the only one of three calls where they could come out to my house in a couple of hours. He also called to let me know that he was 30 minutes away from arriving. Don is meticulous. He is a man after my own heart. I am meticulous also. We are the kind of people that keep the tools organized and together, rubbish in one pile, parts in another. If we are done with the use of the tool, we put the tool away. We like to keep the floor space trip free and uncluttered. Don's knowledge of doors is exquisite. He could tell right away that the spring that was currently installed was stronger than required. Given that being the case, he brought two pairs, one for the currently installed springs and the other a little less stronger. After he was done and by watching him as he explained every step he was taking and why, I agreed with him. I also noticed a frayed cable on my garage door and pointed it out to Don. He reiterated how important it is to not have any frayed cables as the strength of the cable is reduced and should it snap, it would cause the door to release awkwardly and in a worse case, pull the side tracks of their mountings. Don replaced both cables with brand new ones. Since Don did these major repairs, I asked if he would also do an annual maintenance on my whole system. This he happily did and explained everything he did, why he did it, and what he used, e.g. lubrication. Don is my new go to guy for maintaining my garage door. He also mentioned that springs have a life cycle of 10,000 cycles. So depending on how often we cycle our garage door open and close, will depend on when we should be replacing the springs before they break at the most inappropriate time. For us, it's in 5 years. I am not waiting 5 years before calling Don. I am planning on calling him annually to do maintenance on my door. We'll see you in 12 months Don. read more

I called for a garage door opener backup battery change and door service on 07-21-23. Denise was extremely nice, and she provided me with options to keep vosts down, but I explained to her that I think my door needed to be serviced. She immediately scheduled my appointment. The morning of the service, Denise called to let me know that Don was on his way. Don arrived at 9:30 this morning, 07-22-23. He found a few loose bolts and discovered that my door was out of balance. He explained everything thoroughly while he made the adjustments. Don was very professional, and it was evident that he really cared about his customers and their garage doors. read more

Central Garage Door Service is the "Ichi Ban #1" company to call for all of your garage door service. I've used their service twice, once for spring replacement and the other to realign my door when it got caught on the sensor bracket. Don and Denise operates this company and both are so kind and polite, you immediately know you've called the right people to take car of your garage door issues. When my springs needed replacement a few Sundays ago, trapping my vehicles in the garage, other companies I called would/could not accommodate me. However, when I spoke to Denise from Central Garage Door Service, she was very sympathetic and said that although they were booked for the day, she would ask Don if he could do the job. A few minutes later, she called back and said Don will be there later that afternoon. Don is very knowledgeable and thorough, explaining the process as he does the repairs/replacement. His expertise assured me that I had chosen the right people. If you're ever faced with any garage door problems, don't waste your time calling other companies, call the best, Central Garage Door Service. read more

One morning our garage door wouldn't close so we tried looking for someone to come as soon as possible to get it fixed or replaced if needed. I called around and many places were booked out 3-4 days. Denise at this company initially told me she couldn't fit me in until later that after, but then later called me back to let me know there was a cancellation. Denise was able to fit me in for her husband Don to look at the issue within 1-2 hours from the time I called. Outcome was that Don provided the issue and couple options. I must say he's very knowledgeable. We ended up replacing our garage motor since it was old. Love the quick response and super friendly customer service. Thanks Denise and Don for your services. read more

Appreciate the time and service. Called on a Friday scheduled service for Monday. Denise called to confirm appt day of and Don showed up on time. I have a fairly new garage door within 3 to 5 years old. Broke spring caused major damage door had to be replaced. I called CGDS to help do maintenance on the door and gave me advice on maintaining the door. But also what to look for to avoid any costly repairs. The door I had to replace was $5000. So I do know now if door doesn't go up to not force it... ever. Happy with the service and professionalism. read more

If you need garage door service, this is the company you need to contact. They do an excellent job. Very reasonable.

Our garage door was not working and I noticed the drive belt was missing some teeth. Called them and was able to schedule same day replacement of belt. Don and his wife run the business, and he does all the calls. He only does residential garage doors and his knowledge just amazed me and gave me confidence that he knew what he was doing. He also inspected and adjusted my garage door opener and replaced a damaged pulley at no additional charge. I would recommend him for any residential repair or installation of your garage door opener. It was a blessing to find him. read more

Don was very helpful on explaining installing a new Chamberlain garage door opener. Help me setup my Wi-Fi garage door app and was very professional!

The BEST repair service, of any kind, I have ever had. Left a service request via the website in the evening to replace broken cables. Got a call first thing in the morning, a quote and an appointment time for that day!When he showed up right at the time of the appointment, I was already amazed! That seems to never happen! He replaced the cables, did maintenance, other repairs and taught me about my garage door (I knew nothing), all in about an hour. And he did it as quoted. No up-sells, no hidden fees. Why can't every repair experience be like that?! Will be using him for regular maintenance and future repairs, for sure! read more

I had my garage door spring coils replaced as one of them broke. The job is expensive. But due to the specialized tool needed and the safety issue with the spring coils under tension, its not a typical DIY job. The person doing the job was very helpful answering questions I had. He also explained ways I could extend the life of the springs, rollers and door. I would use them again in the future. read more

My garage door was not opening completely, it would stop about 2 feet high. Called three different garage door service company's to have mine looked at, Central Garage Door was the only one that picked up the phone. Denise got someone out the next day. Don the technician was super friendly and very knowledgeable. I learned a lot from him and he detailed the work that he completed. Price was fair and I'm completely satisfied with my first experience. If you are having issues with your garage door and need an honest assessment, give Don a call. I highly recommend! read more
