    My side mount motor

    My side mount electric operator stoped working and I decided to call gates express since they didn't charge any service fee for inspection ON SUNDAY!! Technician name David showed up on time and work till 9.30pm for no extra charge , the final results are very good and I highly recommend anyone who wants reliable and professional service to contact gates express

    I want to warn everyone about a disturbing experience I had with this gate company. I had several metal welders and fabricators scheduled to look at metalwork at my home that needs serious correction and repair. In the middle of that, at 1:34 PM, I got a text from an unknown number saying: "Hey David, this is Sean from the gate company. I'll be there in 15 minutes." I hadn't remembered booking this, but I thought maybe I missed putting something in my calendar, so I agreed to meet him anyway. A guy shows up, calls himself "Sean," and from the start his attitude was rude and arrogant, as if he was doing me a favor by being there at all. He even took a phone call during the appointment and then proceeded to talk about me in Hebrew, clearly assuming I wouldn't understand what he was saying. Then came the punchline: he told me it would cost $1,250 just to give me a quote, and that he would come back on the weekend. Yes, $1,250 just for a quote before any work is even done. At that point, it was obvious he had no real interest in doing the job and was either playing games or trying to scare me off. I asked for his business card so I would know exactly which company to avoid and to make sure I never refer them to anyone. Here's where it gets even more shady: His van said: "GATES & GARAGE DOOR EXPRESS INC." The business card he handed me had the name "David," not "Sean." The phone number he used for that visit was 424‑446‑2733. I had originally emailed Win Garage Door & Gate Inc through their website. I have also been in contact with "David" at this additional number: 323‑383‑3686. It turns out the person I was actually dealing with was "David," not "Sean." In my opinion, they are using different names, different phone numbers, and different business names in a way that can easily confuse or mislead customers. Based on my direct experience, I would strongly advise staying far away from: Win Garage Door & Gate Inc Gates & Garage Door Express Inc Between the fake names, multiple business identities, and an outrageous $1,250 "fee for a quote," this is a huge red flag for me. I would not trust these companies with any work on my property and recommend others avoid them completely.

    Im sure there company is good but holy cow the driver of this van changed lanes like 6 times with no blinker just cutting everyone off and yet still ended up all the way in the back company's should check on there drivers completely unprofessional

    I needed an estimate for new motor for driveway gate These folks showed up with dozen motors in the back of the truck, ready for installation. He gave me an estimate right away for a used and a new motor, with warranty.

    Gate motor
    Liudmila R.

    Trash company hit our gate. We called these guys. They came on time. And found that the chain wheel was bended and causing the sparket of the motor not catching the chain. Gates Express added the support wheel and made the system works smoothly, and save us $800 from the changing the gear mechanism. Simple. Professional and friendly service. Thank you!!

    It has been about 2 years since Joel came out to do a repair for us. Our garage door is probably…read moreabout 15-17 years old minimum so it's going to have some problems. Last time Joel added some support "struts" to the door and this time in a completely unrelated repair he replaced the door spring which breaks over time with age. I was lucky to catch Joel between jobs and he came out within 1-2 hours. We have security gates and had good communication with him on text to get him in. He is a super nice man and efficient worker. He finished the repair in about 15-25 minutes. I did not have enough cash on me to pay him the exact amount, so he told me to forget the relatively small difference because we are repeat customers who will call him again as need--that's how a good businessman does business. Hopefully our old door will last a while longer, but if it needs another repair or to be replaced, then we will definitely call Joel. If you need help with your garage door, we definitely recommend you give Joel a try.

    Called and asked to receive an estimate due to my garage door not opening anymore. Employee stated,…read more"Do you want to get it fixed? Or do you just want an estimate?" I replied that I would like an estimate to see how much it would cost before I decided if I can get it fixed. I was told to text him photos of garage door. I texted him the photos and video of the garage motor. He stated it look like I needed a new garage motor. When I questioned him why he never responded back. In addition, I told him that my sensor had been knocked down and when I hold the garage opener down the garage door opens completely and if I hold down the button again it closes completely. Rude on the phone, non responsive on text after I asked why he thought I needed a garage motor.

Directly too, not through another service person (nothing wrong with that I just like direct contact). The next day he was on time- he was honest and fair with his recommendations. He didn't try to push any services- just a simple and clear explanation. We booked him the next day/ and it was complete in 2 hours. Springs and motors and keypad (the whole system) were replaced with better quality materials. What a blessing to have your garage fixed so quickly as this is something we use everyday! I cannot recommend Kenji enough, it's very refreshing to have an honest repair without pressure and great communication. I feel better and safer knowing our garage can run without issues. I attached videos of my new garage system and I cannot be happier. Thank you!

It was clear he genuinely cared more about doing the right thing than making a sale, which is pretty rare these days. I really appreciated how straightforward authentic he was.

If you're looking for someone knowledgeable who will actually look out for your best interests, I strongly recommend reaching out to him and will definitely be using him in the future for all of my garage door needs

When they came to install it 2-3 weeks later (after the door was manufactured), they realized the manufacturer had produced a door that was 2 inches too narrow for our garage. They immediately took responsibility and the owner Nir came out personally to apologize and figure out the best solution. And while he was out he fixed a problem I had with a separate gate for no charge. We agreed on a solution that worked for everyone, and Kind, including Antonio their sales guy, came out several times to make sure it was implemented 100% to my satisfaction. I wasn't the easiest to please but they were determined to do so and it really showed. At the end, they billed me a more than fair discounted amount to compensate for the issues they'd had with the job. I actually paid them more than they billed me, because I thought they'd more than earned it - that says something! Kind showed to me as a company that genuinely cares about their customers and reputation - strongly recommend.
