I received a message from Dave as soon as I sent the request thru yelp coz our garage door stopped working. He was very responsive and appreciate that he was able to squeeze us same day. Quick service and he shared helpful information. Highly recommend read more

Called garage door basics for a same day "urgent" repair for a garage door that wouldn't go up. Reached out around 9am and Dave promptly replied. By 1345 the same day he was at our home assessing and eventually repairing the door. Great communication throughout the process. Greatly appreciated the timely response read more

Dave put in wall mount garage door opener after our chain motor broke. Dave was very clear in his pricing and the garage specs needed to install the new opener. He took time after install to clean up, answer all of my questions, and show me a few features. Would recommend him to any friends and family who need work done in their garage. read more

Dave was here for 10 minutes and got to the heart of an issue right away - a broken electrical outlet. He didn't accept any payment either! I would definitely recommend Dave and call him back for any further issues! read more

The BEST service. Incredible quality and timeliness when showing up for the appointment. Was of great help, consulting on what was wrong with my garage door and helping me fix it. He definitely knows what he's doing and I trust him with all my garage needs. Won't be calling anyone else!!! read more

Dave with Garage Door Basics was amazing. I cannot recommend these guys enough! Timely, articulate, diligent and extremely helpful, he repaired our garage door and helped us understand the simple needs of maintenance and repair with thoughtfulness and wonderful consideration. I will certainly call them again. -Marcus read more

Superb service! Dave is knowledgeable professional and friendly, He explains everything and answers all you questions, Thank you Dave!!!

They were prompt and quick with their response time. David, one of the owners kept me posted on his eta. He was very thorough in his explanation and was able to repair the door right then and there. read more

Arrived quickly/same day, repaired and adjusted my derailed and chain-drive opener in about 30 minutes. The price was reasonable. Thanks Dave! read more

Spoke to Dave about tuning up and adjusting our old garage door. His communication was great and he was very timely. Super professional and his work was A+. A definite recommendation if u need work. read more

This review is over due. Dave is the man! He is knowledgeable and very responsive, especially with texts. Remember that your garage door system is mechanical and won't work smoothly forever. So when that time comes and you need to repair, replace, do some maintenance (yes, everything with moving parts requires some type of maintenance) you will find that Dave is able to do all of these things and conduct himself with professionalism. He's easy going and able to explain things simply should you have questions. His prices are very reasonable so don't hesitate to give him a call for an estimate or consult. As others have mentioned, if you're a bit handy he even provides FREE DIY guidance. I thought I was in that moment today, of things not working smoothly forever, so I text Dave and after a photo and quick video the world is fine again. Thanks to Dave! And last thing, did I mention that he is trustworthy and genuinely wants to help you?! I offered to pay and he just asked me if I can post a Yelp review (note overdue!). Seriously if you need help with your garage door, Dave is the first person you want to reach out to. read more

I was able to connect with Dave by phone first and he helped me troubleshoot the issue over the phone. Not only did he talk me through it, but he also sent me a YouTube video on how to fix the sensor issue for my garage. The type of customer service I received is what we need more of in this world. He could've just came out to my house and charged me a couple hundred bucks to fiddle with it and be done with it but instead he did the neighborly duty of just helping someone out. If I ever need to replace or fix my garage, I will definitely be reaching out to them strictly based on my interactions with Dave. He wasn't after my money, he just wanted to help. If you're reading this Dave, thank you so much for your time! read more

All around great experience. I requested a yelp project estimate, Dave was the first to respond. His quote was not the cheapest but was fair and in line with the others I received so I went with him. He showed up same day on time and was done in an hour. He replaced the springs and reconnected the motor which had not been in use. After a quick tune up the door is running as good as ever. Good communication and a pleasant fellow. Would recommend and will call back should I need him. read more

Dave was great!! I live in a 1930's house with a huge garage door that has always had issues. Dave fixed my garage door in record time and balanced it so that it now closes easily and smoothly - like it never has before. read more

I requested service from Garage Door Basics because my garage door would open up after it closed. I requested service on their website & within an hour one of their technicians named Dave texted me. He asked me what service I needed & asked for my availability. He was able to fit us into his schedule within a few hours of contacting me. He was able to analyze the problem promptly. He gave me two options & quotes for each option. He fixed the problem promptly. He provided quick & quality service. I would recommend Garage Door Basics to anyone. read more

When something happens to the garage door, it's so scary that I freak out. I mean, you use it every day, often several times. And you need to get your car out of the garage! So when the garage door wouldn't close completely, I freaked out. I called Dave at Garage Door Basics, and he got back to me right away. He basically texted me a "how-to" on how to fix the problem. Turn the blue screw clockwise until you reach a "5", and even me, the fix-it Luddite, was able to do that, and it worked. And he also gave me advice on getting an extra remote. He was prompt, efficient and so helpful. I know that I could rely on Dave if something happens to the garage door again. read more

Dave was awesome. Quick efficient service. Fixed my garage door in less then an hour. Hire these guys!

Our Garage Opener mount, installed by a previous homeowner, broke one night and Dave came the next day and did a full repair and maintenance job, and had the garage door up and running again and in improved condition. Very friendly and informative too. Will definitely call Dave again the next time I need a repair. Thanks! read more

Dave was awesome. He fit us into his busy schedule last minute as our garage door spring broke and we were unable to open the garage. He was the only person out of the many we called that was able to come the same day. Dave was able to identify the issue with only a few pictures. He is very polite and knowledgeable, and even gave me tips on how to do basic upkeep to ensure our garage door works quietly and efficiently. His pricing is more than fair and I highly recommend his service. read more

Top to bottom excellent experience with Dave. He made the time to come out same day for our inoperable door late in the day, and kept me updated on when to expect him. He quickly diagnosed and repaired our issue, and charged fairly for the work. Dave also took the time to answer my questions about future work (new door, new motor, etc.) and gave me some great advice. I can't recall the last time I had someone as responsive, competent, and efficient as Dave. I'd give a sixth star if I could. read more

Dave responded to my request of quote/service quickly. He came in at 7 am and was able to fix my garage less than 30 mins. He also fixed some garage issues which is not really the reason why I need their service. He is nice , friendly, dependable and knowledgeable. Price is reasonable as well. I highly recommend Dave of Garage Door Basics. read more

Be careful & get multiple quotes if you don't want to pay DOUBLE MARKET PRICE! I reached out to Garage Door Basics because they were local (lots of great reviews), & my garage door was inoperable (with both cars stuck in garage). After Dave replaced both springs (a 20 minute job) he gave me price of $725.00. Startled by such a high price, I questioned his bill. Dave then stated, "didn't you get my quote?" After I said "No", he checked his iphone & said, "Oops, I sent it to the wrong person, & that he'd give me a solid (10% discount.)" I gave him my credit card & we parted ways. Still feeling dismayed, I called 3 other garage door repair companies, who gave me significantly less expensive quotes: $300, $300, & $350. I then called Dave & expressed my dissatisfaction with his massive bill, as his price was more than double my other quotes. He proposed to remove his work, & give me a full refund, as he could not "afford to do business at my lower quoted prices." I accepted & he removed the 2 springs the following day, & said he had processed a full refund for me (via credit card). After 8 days, & not seeing refund on my credit card app, (along with notifying Dave multiple times of no refund appearing), I have filed a dispute with my card company. Basically, I should have taken the time up front to get multiple quotes (or at least a quote from Garage Door Basics) before commencing work. Btw, my garage door is now working great with better quality springs than what Dave installed. Also, this is my first negative yelp review, & hopefully my last.... read more

Great service! My door was off its track and I had 2 other companies come out, charge a ton, and still didn't fix the issue correctly. Although I had to wait a day for service, Dave kept in touch the whole time and kept trying to fit me in at his soonest possible availability. I don't mind waiting for quality service. So worth the wait! Quality, speed of repair, and fixed my garage door stress! read more

Found Dave via Yelp after reviewing and calling lots of other garage door service providers. Dave was polite, straightforward, and very professional. No upselling, he just gave me the facts and the options which I appreciated. He also was I. Constant contact with me throughout the appointment so I wasn't kept waiting. He was on time and finished the job quickly without taking any shortcuts. After he finished the job, he stayed to explain the new garage door system, even helped me install and configure the mobile app on my phone. I'm definitely going to recommend his services to anyone looking for garage services. Very trustworthy and professional. He brought everything he needed for the job and even helped me tear down my old garage door opener so I could fit it into my trash. Highly recommended, look no further. You can trust these guys. read more

I highly recommended Dave to anyone have problem with the garage door . He is quick , professional, honest & easy to accommodate . I have problem with my garage door, he get back to me right away after receiving my call , and we get it fix in the same day . You're rock , Dave . I definitely will go to you again & again . read more

Dave Is awesome- this guy knows his stuff! He's very friendly and punctual. He replaced my old screw drive motor -( that was noisy as hell) with a belt driven chamberlain. Then help me set up the wifi connections and keyless pad . All in about 90 minutes I would totally recommend! read more

Dave was prompt. He communicated well and knew exactly how to not only fix our garage door that was knocked off track from a car, but performed maintenance as well. It works better than ever with a tune up! Fair pricing for his expertise was a bonus. read more

I called to have a garage door repaired that had completely ripped off the wall and shifted off the tracks. Dave was able to get out to our house in less than 24 hours, and replaced both springs and had everything back in place in less than an hour. He even took time to tell me what to look out for in the future to prevent this issue from happening again. He couldn't have been more professional and efficient, and I'll definitely be recommending him to friends and family. Garage Door Basics was one of the only companies that had a verified license too. read more

Just wanted to get on here and give Dave a shout out for his professionalism and attentiveness. I was able to get same day service, which was great and unexpected. He gave a FREE estimate (some places don't) and laid out all the service options. Dave has good vibes and didn't pressure me to do anything. I could've sent him away and he'd probably be chill about it. Good people, man. I decided to replace a 16 year old opener that was messing up my door springs instead of ordering old-ass replacement parts that I'd have to hunt down on the internet, which was a hard pass for me. Instead, Dave installed a new opener, did maintenance on my door springs, and gave me helpful tutorials on my new gear in under an hour. I think I caught him at a good time for same day service, so I wouldn't expect this to be the norm, but Dave is very responsive either way. He'll get your garage door in good shape. read more

I sent an email on a Sunday asking for a call back on Monday. Dave responded by email on Sunday giving me his cell phone number and asking me to call Monday morning. I reached him on another job and he asked me to text my address and said he would come by that afternoon, which he did. He assessed my worn out Genie door opener as needing to be replaced, which I expected might be the case since it was at least 20 years old. Dave recommended a Chamberlain unit that is super quiet with battery back up. It has a five year warranty on parts and a lifetime warranty on the motor and belt. It appears to be high quality and is Wi-Fi compatible. He showed up and installed it the next day. The total cost was $1085 including installation and adjustment of the existing spring. Dave also helped me set up the app on my iPhone and reprogram my door opener button on my Impala. read more

Dave replied to my request for quote. He diagnosed my issue over the phone, then proceeded to guide me through to fix it! (He was very knowledgeable.) It took no less than 10 min on a Friday night. I'm so grateful and impressed by Dave's generosity with his knowledge and time. You got an eternal customer here. read more

Was able to get someone out same day, and for a very fair price was able to fix our garage door when another company told us we'd need to replace the whole thing and do major work. Would 10/10 recommend, a great value and a friendly and responsive team. read more

Look. Do you want your garage door fixed now? Because I called Dave and he was at my La Crescenta house within 2 hours, replacing springs and tuning up the rest of my worn-down system. He also explained every aspect of the system that I didn't understand, so that I could do routine maintenance myself from now on. And he's available via cell phone if anything goes wrong. And he texts. It's just really, really easy and the service is exactly what you want from a local expert. If you live in the region, use these guys. read more

Garage Door Basics never disappoints! We had another issue with our garage door and Dave responded promptly. Same quality of service as before. They are my go-to! read more

I cannot recommend this business, and Dave, highly enough! Dave arrived when he said he would, he was such a solid and strong guy, and extremely conscientious... He took the time and care you don't often see. Suffice to say, he identified and fixed some difficult problems with my garage door quickly and the price was very fair and reasonable. He's extremely trustworthy and does amazing work. read more

Dave is a very cool dude. Punctual and considerate of the issue at hand. He'll fix the problem then offer the practical long term solution if needed. I needed new rails, cable , and solid servicing of the springs which he had to order. He fixed my initial problem in 10 mins. The garage door was able to be closed and secured. He came back a few days later with parts and finished the job in about 30 mins. Then he gave me the rundown on some maintenance basics and what to look for to keep the door running smoothly. I asked him about the pull motor. Other than loud running noise. The unit is strong and should run for a long time. I appreciate the honesty. read more

My garage door wouldn't shut ... Called these guys and they were so quick and responsive. Dave got the parts came back next day and fixed it with great care and professionalism. So reliable. Now my garage door goes than smoother than silk. He also gave me reasons why and thoughts why it had happened. Everything he pointed out and his explanation made a lot sense. Thanks guys. read more

The best garage guy I know. Fair pricing and extremely communicative. I really appreciate how quick Dave was to come fix our garage and he even showed me how to properly maintain the garage door. Definitely my go-to garage repair guy, and installation hopefully in the future. read more

Dave came within two hours of my calling to help us fix our garage door, which had sealed both our cars inside. This allowed us to get on with our life (ie pick up kids from school) without major disruption. Thanks, Dave! read more

Broken spring on incredibly heavy multi panel wooden door. David truly went out of his way to come help get the door up, measure the broken spring, source a pair reasonably and showed up the next day (Saturday) to take care of us. Checked everything, lubricated everything, identified and fixed alignment, door opening. Did all of this while being professional and incredibly polite. He took time to share knowledge so I can diagnose and resolve any maintenance or minor issues. No question I will use them anytime and recommend every time. read more
