I don't write many Yelp reviews. However, if I do write a review my Yelp reviews are either very bad to alert the Yelp community (1-star) or very good (5-star) worthy of Yelp members' business. Subject 5-STAR review is for Garage Guru PROS: - Sam was professional by texting an ETA prior to heading to the address provided - arrived on-time not wasting customer's time - experienced in his trade (highly recommended/gets the job done promptly) - diagnosed and identified the issue timely - replaced two (2) springs timely - Brand is American Springs (quality brand), oil tempered torsion springs better than galvanized (due to time constraint I did not ask to see the spec or invoice of the new replacement springs) - chose Garage Guru after analyzing/reading reviews by satisfied customers (zero negative review as of 7/6/2026) - happy and satisfied customers are the best free marketing and by word of mouths is most potent marketing - licensed and insured per Sam (due to time constraints I did not ask for a copy of the license/insurance) - lubricated the hinges and wheels for a quieter garage door when closing/opening - per Sam he completed a full balance, adjustment, and alignment CONS: - none as of July 6, 2026 NOTE: - if you as a customer re-negotiate and agreed on a price for parts and labor be sure to ask Garage Guru if the replacement parts in this case the springs are at 10,000 or 25,000 cycles, as an example for clarity. Lastly, I will continue to monitor the quality of the two (2) springs per Sam the brand is American Spring (a quality brand), which were installed and rated for 10,000 cycles (typically lasts for 7 to 10 years on average if you open the garage door around 4X per day Vs 25,000 cycles about 17 years under the same usage and will update subject review in the future. However, Sam was gracious to re-assure customer's confidence by extending the warranty for "parts and labor" to 3 years Vs 1 year for the two (2) springs rated for 10,000 cycles. Overall, I would highly recommend Garage Guru to friends and family given Sam "gets the job done" promptly, highly experienced at his trade, on-time, and is reasonable and professional when customer's questions emerge for clarification. read more

I contacted Garage Guru after realizing the original company I was working with was overcharging and recommending repairs that weren't necessary. I reached out to a few other companies for second and third opinions, and that's when I connected with Sam at Garage Guru. From the start, Sam was excellent. He communicated every detail clearly, provided three different options with pricing, and was extremely responsive and informative with all of my questions and concerns. I felt confident in his honesty and expertise. Even before the installation, Sam confirmed the appointment and walked me through the entire process step by step, including how long the job would take. The work was completed efficiently, and I was charged exactly what was quoted--nothing more, nothing less. As a property manager in DTLA, it's not easy to find reliable and honest vendors. I feel very fortunate to have worked with Sam and his team, and I will definitely be using Garage Guru for any future garage gate needs. read more

So I needed to have a garage door opener installed. Bought a basic center mount and poor Sam drove 45 minutes only to advise it wouldn't work with my existing setup. No charge which I felt bad about with LA traffic. I'm on the edge of his typical business radius. He recommend a side mount which sadly cost 2X but he said he would reduce install price by $50 so I went ahead and bought the chamberlain side mount which he said is a better way to go and a good brand. Was not a fan of Genie. I retired the original opener and upgraded to the side opener and Sam was back out in Friday afternoon traffic to get it done for me for the weekend. Good honest hard working on time guy. I would use him again but I only have one garage! I will recommend him. read more

Our 30-year-old garage door opener finally died and we needed a new one. We were looking for something pretty simple since our garage is only used for storage these days. Anyway interviewed a bunch of different contractors and then found Sam. I immediately felt a connection and he gave me all the right answers to my questions - does he hire outside help, does he do the work himself, do I have an option of different manufacturers of openers, etc. His communication was excellent, by far the most communicative contractor that I dealt with. He was prompt and did the work himself. We are very happy. His price was very reasonable, and he was done in under an hour as promised. He guarantees his workmanship and I suspect on the rare chance that there was a problem he would reply and repair it as needed very quickly. Highly recommended read more

Excellent service, Reasonable pricing, prompt, and communicates really well. He is diligent and it shows how much pride he takes in his work. My car was basically stuck inside my garage because it wouldn't open. Within an hour he was in and out with a job well done. I am VERY picky. He did a honorable job and that's all I could ask for. Thanks Sam! read more

Excellent service...Sam was immediately put in my contacts 3 minutes after meeting him. Straight to the point, thorough and fast. My garage door was in pretty bad shape after the fires, he was very reasonably priced and although my springs are super old, he did not press me to change them...gave me a verbal price and after doing my research he was spot on, if not a little less than my search. When they do fail, I know he's the one I will be calling...very happy to have found my go-to guy! read more

Sam with garage gurus went above and beyond and saved me when my garage broke. I broke a coil spring on Friday at 8pm. I was expecting to get someone out early Saturday morning. Sam offered to come out that night. I had sent some pictures and he sent over a quote that seemed fair. Once he saw the system in person he could tell it was built in a peculiar way and getting the spring changed would be more challenging. A 20 minute job took an hour. He didn't even ask for more than he quoted initially. I would highly recommend garage gurus for any garage related needs. read more

I contacted Sam at about 2pm on a Monday and we set up an appointment for 10 - 12 the following day. At 9:30am I received a text from him stating he would be there in 30 minutes, and he showed up at exactly 10am. My opener quit working, so Sam got up the ladder and in less then 2 minutes he figured out what was wrong, a broken gear. He also let me know that the opener was originally installed about 23 years ago, and with it's age, he recommended replacing it. So, I contacted my uncle in Chicago who has his own garage door business, and he agreed. Sam seemed VERY knowledgeable and competent. I highly recommend! read more

I found out the hard way thot there are many dishonest and unreliable garage door businesses in Los Angeles. Thank goodness I finally found GARAGE GURUS! Sam, the owner, was reliable, knowledgeable, fairly priced and a pleasure to do business with. My existing Garage Door was original to my house built in 1937. Very heavy and very old. So I was shopping for a brand new roll up door and the opener mechanism to go with it. After wasting time with a couple other companies, I was fortunate enough to come across Garage Gurus. Sam came out explained what I needed to have done. He gave me a choice of many different garage doors to go with my house. I found one I liked and when I received his bid it was very reasonable.

I was left hanging by another garage door company. They had come out to do an estimate and promised to come back Monday am. I never heard from them again despite repeated calls.

He promptly fixed the garage door and sent me a video showing me the old parts and the working garage door. I really appreciated how he kept me in the loop and took care of business.
