I called the person who replaced the spring for our garage-spring for almost 2 years old that collapsed right in front of us. He refused and said he's done for the day with an odd answer. But I'm very thankful to Lee who responded to my call. He fixed the spring with a good one and with warranty. When I ask for an extra clicker he immediately did one. Lee is a person that you can trust, he is the one for the job and very respectful. Thank you Lee. read more

I reached out for a quote and provided a video of the issue. He mentioned he would need to come out in person to properly assess it, which I felt was completely reasonable. However, after the visit, his assessment differed from the other companies I had contacted (four total), and his quote was also the highest. I let him know I needed some time to better understand the scope of work and think it through. At that point, he responded, "I don't want this job anyway," and left. It was an unexpected interaction. Based on other reviews, it seems like he does good work with garage spring replacements, but my situation may have been outside his usual scope. I just wish the interaction had been handled more professionally. read more

I can't recommend Lee enough. We had an emergency garage issue, and Lee went completely above and beyond to help us. He was responsive, professional, and genuinely cared about getting the problem resolved quickly.

He repaired our garage springs and sensors, and the pricing was very fair, especially considering the quality of service and the urgency of the situation. It's rare these days to find someone who combines excellent workmanship with such outstanding customer service. If you need garage repair services, don't hesitate to call Lee.

Short version : I HIGHLY recommend Lee. Great way to end the year - NOT : a broken torsion spring on the garage door, which now won't open. I read some yelp reviews of local repair places, and then called around. An aside - I usually completely disregard all reviews from people who have less than 5-10 reviews to their name. I figure 'yelp advertising' from friends or just fake accounts to boost overall rating, and Lee had a LOT of those. BUT, he had been in business for years, and the reviews by people with 30+ reviews to their name were all glowing. And since he gave me a verbal 'guess' quote on the phone (stressing the "I might see something else that should be fixed once there" and "free estimate - no obligation") I gave him a chance. Also, he said he had a quote in Campbell in 25 minutes and could swing by in an hour or so. This was Dec 31, in the afternoon. He called about 25 minutes later (almost apologetically!) saying he was in Campbell, the other guy had bailed and he could be there in about 2 mins. I said "YEAH!, come on over". Very professional, he evaluated everything, said that my springs were slightly undersized for my door - within specs, but, well, in this case bigger was better. He told me he only used 'heavy duty' -rated springs, which last longer - "why pay $10 less for something that will last 5 or 10 years less?" (and in fact, the price on the springs was in line with what would be my price at home depot - maybe $10 more each - I looked at spring prices before he got there). I checked his springs against the old ones - not only larger gauge, but the springs were also longer by about 6 inches on each side - so more torsion spread over longer distance. i.e., better and longer-lasting. I used to do all the handyman repair stuff around my house (sheet rock, electrical, fencing, plumbing, painting, blah, blah) - I even replaced the garage door opener motor myself about 10 years ago. But I'm getting tired of that sh*t and NO WAY was I going to re-tension garage door springs - I really don't want an emergency room visit or to lose an eye. Lee was professional, knowledgeable, amiable. He explained exactly what he would do to fix the problem. BTW, *always* replace both springs if one snaps. I knew that but apparently some people don't. He laughed when I replied "well, hell, who wouldn't?". Lee re-greased the bearings on the top wheel, tightened loose bolts for the attachments of some of the wood pieces, lubricated rollers, and balanced the tension on both of the new springs. Door opening/closing is quieter now - I didn't think it was noisy before, but it is noticeably quieter now. It is probably a tad bit faster as well - but I can't be sure as I never stop-watched it. He was done and gone in just under an hour from showing up, inspected the door and did preventative maintenance, cleaned up and took the old parts, and he got paid exactly what he asked for over the phone. I got a printed receipt, and paid by check - NOT a fly-by-night or under the table guy. Amount was in line with other places (actually about 25% cheaper). Again, I highly recommend Lee. Another 5* review from a long-time yelper. read more

My garage door's spring broke, and that's the Wayne Dalton spring that's no show but inside the rod/tube, and that thing just broken in half and even broke my garage opener. Called Lee that evening, and he responded very quickly and came in next morning as requested, since that was an urgent appointment so he had to show up very early and helped us to get the spring replaced first, then he moved on to another pre-set appointment, and had to come back next day, and then he helped taking down the old opener which is really old and impossible to get parts to repair, and he got us to the modern time, installed one that I can use app and easy linking to cars' homelink, so now everything goes well! Also, price was very reasonable too! Thank you Lee! read more

Lee Garage Repair - Broken spring making the thing loose and lifting the door becomes impossible! - Garage Door Services Near Me - San Jose, California

See all

I have a single garage door which acts as a "gate" to a covered carport. The door had become heavy to lift and looked off balance. I called Lee on Tuesday and arranged for an estimate. He gave me a tentative quote over the phone. He came the next day, calling to see if he could come earlier when his schedule opened up. He arrived when expected and determined the spring needed replacing as well. This was not surprising as the spring dated back to 1984 and I had been expecting it might be the root of the problem with the door. It had the only spring that had never been replaced on my 3 garage doors. I asked him to also quote doing maintenance on a manual lift single garage door that I had trouble opening and the double door which has an automatic opener. For that one, I wanted to make sure there wasn't a problem being masked by the electric door opener still being able to lift the door. The estimate was very reasonable and his work time estimate was very accurate. He completed the repairs and went over all that he did with me. Of course, he lubricated the rollers on all 3 doors. The single manual lift door's track was too close to the rollers so he adjusted it. It now opens easily. He tightened the 2 heavy duty springs on the double door by a quarter turn, tightened some screws on some of the the hinges between the sections of the old '80's style wooden door and adjusted it so that the door didn't hit the garage floor hard on the way down and had a soft stop when being raised. These will improve the lifespan of the electric garage door opener. I do have a small bit of daylight under the door at the outside edges that he said he would change that if I preferred, but that would mean a hard landing in the middle of the door. It is a known problem with this style of door that the center sags over time. I opted for protecting the lifespan of the door opener. As for the initial reason for the repair visit, the carport garage door lifts extremely easily now. He exceeded the original quote for that door only by the cost of the new spring and the labor to install it. And, of course, the total job cost included the added work I requested he do on the other 2 doors. He also advised me on an issue with the carport door latch. I can replace the latch at my leisure as the latch can still be locked. read more

Replaced both springs and lubricated garage within a timely manner. I had no complications, straight forward.

One of my garage door springs had actually been broken for a while, but I didn't realize it until I pulled the emergency release cord and the door suddenly drooped - it was really scary. I contacted Lee, and he was able to come out within 2 hours. He spent about 3 hours replacing the springs and servicing the whole door system to make sure everything was working properly. The price is reasonable and Lee is clearly very experienced and focused. Definitely recommend! read more

I had a very good experience with Mr, Lee. He was very reasonable in price. Replaced the springs on garage door with higher quality springs. He worked on my garage the same day I contacted him. He also tightened up some screws he found loose in other areas and did a little oiling of other parts. You will not regret having him work on your garage issue. Text him or call him. read more

So happy to have found Lee to help convert our old garage system to an updated torsion spring. He gave a great quote and when he visited our garage in person, he noticed a brace for the door was missing and we had that feature added on as well. I can't recommend Lee enough if you have any garage updates or repairs needed, he has a keen attention to detail to make sure your garage is set up correctly. Will be recommending him to friends and family if they need garage help. read more

It's been almost a year and decided to have Lee come out to give my garage a tune-up/service since his last visit. He came out and poked around for 10-15minutes and said that I didn't really need a tune-up, everything was still lubed, and wheels are still good, spring is still new, etc. He was ready to leave without being paid since a tune-up wasn't needed. I asked him to look around a bit more since my house will become a rental soon and want to take care of anything that might be an issue down the road - he examined the garage door some more and said there's a popping sound (very slight) in a middle panel - which means it needs more support. He said it's good for another 5 years likely and I don't have to take care of it now. I opted for him to fix it now and save me the headache down the road when it would be a hassle. His prices are very reasonable, so please don't negotiate. It's rare to meet people who are as honest and up front about everything like Lee. He will take care of what you need and is always honest and doesn't upsell like a few others I've seen. read more

Very helpful, was able to make time pretty quickly. I wanted a routine maintenance check and Lee found that the original springs were maxed out in tension. He recommended that we just replace them with a bigger spring and re-tension them. Now the garage door is much better balanced and doesn't strain the motor as much. Would recommend. read more

We need to replace springs for a double garage door. Lee was quick to respond, promptly scheduled an appointment, and completed the job without any issues. He was friendly and had the most reasonable quote with transparent pricing. I was glad we were referred to him. Please don't hesitate to give him a call for a quote! read more

My garage door spring broke in two while it was closing and would only open part way. After consulting Yelp, I noticed this vendor after reading reviews from fellow Yelp elites. I called him at around 2 pm and he immediately responded that he would be able to get to my home by 5:30 pm. Wow that was quick response. He was about 30 minutes late but I assumed he must have had another job earlier. Lee is an unassuming Vietnamese gentleman who is amazing at his job. Talking about his work, the answer is simple, he is very thorough and experienced with dealing with these issues. He noticed that my cables on both sides were getting tangled and he decided to change them out just to be on the safe side. And at no extra cost. After installation he lubricated all the important moving parts and tested the door before giving the ok. He understands how people are feeling inconvenienced and a little rattled when garage door problems occur and he does a professional job resolving the issues at a reasonable price. Thank you Mr Lee. read more

After 5pm on Saturday evening, I had a garage door situation and I desperately needed assistance..I was stuck, unable to leave the house..not knowing who to reach, I called 5 companies that popped up in my initial Google search..all had big flashy ads and promised 24/7 response.

I called the number, Lee picked up immediately...he listened patiently while I described my predicament . Lee agreed to check out my situation He showed up within the hour as promised.

Lee is a true professional and garage door expert. We had some work done in our garage that resulted in our garage door sensor wire and control panel wire getting damaged. I proceeded to start a Yelp project to get multiple estimates. Lee was the only one who was able to give me an estimate through Yelp messages before he even came on site. He was true to his estimate range! Lee was also able to diagnose the issue within minutes of stepping foot in our garage and observing the mechanics. After we agreed upon an amount, he went to work! Lee worked extremely hard in our garage during the heat wave and was able to fix our garage wiring with new sensors. The wiring he did was super top notch work. He lined it in a clean straight line and stapled it to the ceiling and walls so that we don't have loose wires hanging around. We were extremely happy with the end results and the price. Lee explained to us the issue and stayed around for us to test the garage door with the different ways of opening it before he left our house. Lee proved to be a very knowledgeable guy, honest, hardworking and does not do sloppy work. He also guarantees a one year warranty for his work! From now on, anything garage door related, I'm calling Lee right away! read more

My garage door spring broke, and Lee impressed me with his detailed questioning before providing a quote. This approach gave me confidence that he wouldn't overcharge, or undercharge which could compromise the quality of work. He transparently provided an itemized quote, clearly separating the costs for materials and labor. Lee also offered an upgrade to higher-quality springs that last 25,000 cycles instead of the standard 10,000 cycles. Most importantly, his quote was very competitive! Lee proved to be incredibly responsive and reliable. He texted me an hour before the scheduled arrival time and arrived punctually. His knowledge and patience in explaining his work were commendable. He reinstalled my springs neatly and efficiently. I truly appreciate his work and highly recommend him. Lee will definitely be my go-to garage door guy in the future. I have also recommend him to all my friends! read more

Unfortunately, the day before Christmas my parents garage door broke. Having just worked with Lee, I quickly messaged him Christmas eve. I didn't expect him to be so readily available considering it was the holidays but I figured he might be available after the big day. Surprisingly he replied very quickly. And low and behold, he was available first thing in the morning and got their garage door up and running ASAP on Christmas day. He's the best! I can't say enough great things about him.. he helped me and my family when we needed him the most, time and time again. Thank you so much again and I hope you are taking a holiday break from fixing the things we broke. No one plans for these things but when these things eventually happen, you'd be lucky to have Lee in your corner to help you out! read more

My 22-year old Liftmaster Garage Door Opener has started acting up invariably & concerns of it breaking down anytime due to old age is becoming more & more realistic. Decision was made to have it replaced with a new one conforming with the latest technology & code. Three (3) professional garage door service companies in San Jose were contacted & requested for a quote. Mr. Lee of Lee Garage Repair over the phone provided a quote to replace the old unit with Chamberberlain Model B4310 including checking & rebalancing of the garage door if needed, relubricating the hinges, rollers, & springs, programming of the remote controls, and lastly clean-up and disposal of the old unit. Not only did Mr Lee provided his proposed work scope thoroughly but also & most importantly offered a very competitive price tag which was hard to refuse. He even offered a $20 discount if the total amount is paid in cash. What a generous guy!. In short, Mr. Lee did a pretty good & thorough job as promised and I couldn't be much happier. We had a good chat also about his previous professions & how he ended up and loving the current one. Should I or my extended family circle need garage door service in the future, Mr. Lee would be the first one I'd call and you should too. You'll be glad you did. read more
