Dave was very responsive to our requests and was very knowledgeable, with reasonable recommendations for our garage door issues. Completed the repair job quickly and at a reasonable price. Would recommend them to friends and family, A++ service read more

The torsion spring on our garage door broke on a weekend, damaging the door and rendering the door opener useless and making the door itself hard to open. Dave was able to come out the same day to take a look. He identified the issues that needed to be addressed and quoted a fair price for labor and materials. Best of all, he had the garage working in less than an hour. After he finished, he also explained how to do periodic spot maintenance checks to ensure the garage door's integrity. Easily one of the best experiences I have had with a repairman. If you have the need for garage door repairs, I highly recommend Garage Door Basics. read more

I put a request out on Yelp Sunday evening and they were the first to respond. Gave a quote over the phone and since I needed my garage door fixed before Tuesday he was able to squeeze me in Monday afternoon. Very knowledgeable, friendly, upfront, and stuck to the quote. I noticed after he had left the door wasn't lowering correctly and after explaining what the issue was he came back out the next day and solved the issue quickly and didn't even try to charge me again. Great service. I could not have asked for anything more. Would recommend them to anyone. Thanks again. James read more

Dave answered the phone right away and came the next day with all the correct parts. He gives an honest opinion if parts are still functional or if they need replacement. I would use him again for any garage door repair. read more

David was great! My spring broke on my roll up door when leaving for work. I gave GDB a call from work later that morning . David said he could be out when I got home. He stayed in communication with me throughout the day via text, as it wasn't completely certain when I could get home. When we agreed on a time, he showed up right when he said he would and was done in under 30 minutes. He also gave the door a quick lubrication and some pointers on preventative maintenance. Highly recommend! read more

Dave is a very good guy and charged a fair price for the work. He just left about half an hour ago and it's now 9:30 pm. So he's willing to work late to get the job done. read more

Absolutely perfect service! Dave was on time, quick, and the work he did was top notch. Garage door works better than it ever has. Thanks Dave! read more

I have worked with a few different repair companies in Los Angeles, but there are two things that sets Dave at Garage Door Basics apart from the rest. First, he knows what he is doing and doesn't just pretend to know. Second, he doesn't try to sell you work that isn't necessary. I had my springs replaced by another company a year ago and the door never worked right. they came back out and said that I needed a new motor. I know enough to know that they intentionally didn't balance the door so the motor WOULD fail. There's a lot to say about a service provider that cares about his reputation and not how much they can squeeze out of the customer of the hour. I found Dave on Yelp and found the reviews about him to be true - honest, knowledgeable, fair. read more

Highly recommend this place! Worked with Dave and he was very responsive and reliable. I love when businesses respond immediately to requests and are highly efficient and this is how they work! Plus they treat you like you're their priority and they do a good job. Will definitely be using their services again. read more

My garage door broke late at night, I went to this website, put in my info, and Dave texted me early the next morning. He was at my door 10 minutes later, done in 20 minutes, very courteous and professional, and important to note, he's a local to the Foothill area. Based on my experience I would use no one else, and I highly recommend this company. Awesome Job! read more

Our old garage door would not open anymore so we found Garage Door Basics. Dave asked for photos and after seeing them he recommended a repair. I asked if he could come by our house and take a look and he was more than happy to do it. He came to our house on time and answered all our questions. He educated us on our garage door, the system, and what we needed to do to maintain the door. He was very patient and willing to share his expertise. He fixed our garage door and it is working better than ever. I would highly recommend Garage Door Basics and Dave to anyone that is looking for service on their garage door. read more

Amazing service! John and his assistant came over within an hour of my call on a Saturday, assessed the situation and fixed what to me was a big problem in an hour and change. Courteous, professional, wore masks and kept their distance. Reasonably priced, contactless billing & payment. I'd gladly use them again if I run into another garage door problem and recommend them highly! read more

I left a message with Garage Door Basics & Dave returned my call within an hour. What surprised me was that he apologized for not getting back to me sooner & that he was on another job. I didn't tell him that the other companies I called did not return my calls! We set a date for a week later and I received a text the day before asking if there were any changes. Dave kept me up-to-date on arrival time. He is very efficient, respectful and friendly. He works well with "seniors"! He explained the repairs and costs involved thoroughly. He explained what to look for should the garage door become unbalanced, like I said very thorough. We had the springs replaced and an the garage door opener updated & installed. We are so pleased! We highly recommend Garage Door Basics. Thanks Dave! read more

Dave responded very quickly and came by the same day. Nice guy. It turned out that our issue was a simple sensor misalignment that I could have easily re-adjusted myself (if I knew what I was doing) -- so Dave didn't even charge us anything. And he walked me through some things with the garage door that might need maintenance in a year or so. I really respected that he wasn't just looking for ways to charge us $$. Will 100% call him again. read more

Timely and efficient service from Dave at Garage Door Basics. he was excellent and very helpful with the software changes we needed to make to the garage door opener after we installed the new one; he knew the pros and cons of the different product alternatives we could buy and he did not try to sell us the most expensive product so we saved a bit of money also. Best part of this appt was his honesty and enthusiasm to make sure we took advantage of the software features which came with the product. I would definitely use them again. read more

It was troubling and annoying when our garage door wouldn't open; however, Dave was able to come to the rescue! I contacted him on a Sunday and he came out a short time later to check on the problem. He ordered the new springs on Monday and had it fixed by Wednesday. He was professional, knowledgeable, and friendly! Thanks again Dave! read more

I contacted the team, received a text back later that day and 24 hours after that, everything was fixed! I had a garage door that was in much needed maintenance to stop a loud squeak and slow opening, Dave came by the next day, inspected and offered to fix everything right then with a retightening, greasing and replacement of the cables as well as offering to sand down some of the areas that were rubbing given the current alignment of the older panels. Everything was great after only a couple door runs and the entire time he was very professional and helpful answering my questions. Thanks! read more

Our ancient door opener finally failed, so we needed a replacement. Dave quoted me some Chamberlain models at different price/feature points that seemed reasonable in comparison to online stores. He then came out to do a quick inspection of the existing installation to confirm my choice would work before setting up the appointment. He was very communicative with texts and email throughout, and he showed up in his appointment window ready to go. The work took a few hours and seems clean and solid. He did some custom metal work to craft some support structs that worked with our weird roof joists, and he clearly knew what he was doing throughout assembly and installation. The opener works great and has had no problems since installation. I only have two minor nits of feedback. One is that the model # of the opener doesn't match the one in the quote, but the features are the same and AFAICT it's only that the manufacturer has updated their model numbers. The other is that he doesn't dispose of the the old opener, so I need to work with the trash company to come collect the long rail & screw - no big deal, but would be nice to know ahead of time. Overall, I would definitely recommend this local craftsperson. read more

Showed up on time and did good work! Will definitely be calling him for future repairs. David was very knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. read more

If only every service repairman was as responsive as Dave. When our garage door springs snapped, we looked for someone on Yelp to come out and take a look.

He stayed in constant contact via text every step of the way and was professional, responsive and timely. Highly recommend! read more

I contacted Garage Door Basics after a spring broke on our garage door. Dave responded quickly, gave me a quote, and showed up the following day, as arranged, to make the repair. He got the job done quickly, did an overall assessment, and didn't try to upsell for unnecessary repairs. In fact, when we realized one of the sensors was broken, Dave let me know that it was an easy DIY replacement and sent me a link for the part. I would definitely use them again and recommend to my neighbors. read more

I truly had an emergency situation and Garage Door Basics really saved me in a pinch. Because I run an e commerce business out of my home I use the garage solely as storage space for my merchandise. But of course one day the door completely stopped working and it was left open. I was so desperate and scared of having my merchandise exposed I needed to have the door fixed right. John was extremely responsive and he was able get a worker out to my place on the same day. Even though he knew my situation, john didn't try to upcharge me and quoted me an extremely fair price. The work itself has held up and I haven't had any problems with my garage door since. If I ever encounter this problem ever again I will be calling john again with no hesitation. I highly recommend this business for any of your needs. read more

Day before Easter our 20 year old garage door spring detonates itself. Reach out to Garage Door Basics, who are a locally-Owned company in our neighborhood. Absolutely fantastic experience. David pings me back within minutes and offers to work on Easter if needed, but we decide to go with the next day. He communicates frequently, shows up on time, replaces the spring, calibrates the whole thing, now it's good as new. He even checked the existing garage door opener and said it was working fine and didn't need to be replaced. Honest, responsive, and reasonably priced for a quick turn service. Really can't ask for anything more! Will use again and recommend. read more

Oddly, since Dave visited us last, our garage door wasn't closing again. Frantic, I called Dave and he carved out time to come over the next day. This time, the vibrations had moved one of our sensors and it took Dave all but 5 minutes to identify the cause and make the necessary adjustment. Garage Door Basics is now permanently a part of my contacts! Thanks so much, Dave! read more
