I called M&M Garage Door Repair because they had over 400 5star reviews on Google. What they did is inexcusable, without my knowledge or consent they shared my contact information and service address with a 3rd party company who came out and scammed me for service. I only found this out after I contacted M&M and asked for an itemized receipt. The first 2 calls were answered and they said they were going to text me a receipt, which they never did. Eventually I got a text from another number saying to send them my email and they would send me the receipt. I google searched the number and it came up as a company called Skill Garage Door & Gate operating out of Reseda with a 1 star Yelp review and all the reviews said they were total scammers! Skill Garage Door & Gate's technician made me extremely uncomfortable and started asking me how old I was, and if I was married, and if i lived in the house. He kept asking me if I had cash to pay for the service, which was $1500, I paid him reluctantly via Zelle to a random number under the name of Jessica just to get him off my property. Now no one from either company is answering any of my calls. read more

I checked the quality of the springs and the business type. This job ranges in price between $150 - 350 across the industry in S. CaL. They charged me $878 with tax. I'm still attempting to contact the owner. read more

Skill Garage Door & Gate - $1695 for one spring, two drums, 2 cables. Total rip off. Go elsewhere - Garage Door Services Near Me

Another victim here of this shady cash grab. Tried to charge me $2400 for a new opener, then reduced to $2000, convincing me that it was a top off the line, heavy duty door. I later looked it up and it was a $200 opener that could be found at Home Depot. And two hours after they left, it stopped working.... and they're nowhere to be found. read more

SCAM!! Stay away from this business! I asked for their license and they would not give it to me. They will wanted a deposit of $100 before they can start any work. Which I did. The total was $400 just to replace a garage seal. After receiving their invoice I saw that the company is different than the original company I called which had good reviews. Just pulling up the number 747-254-0635, I saw all the bad reviews and unfortunately was a victim of this scam! I asked for my money back and they did not want to return it. This is so sad!!! read more

Skill Garage Door & Gate - Garage Door Services Near Me

I have to agree with every 1 star review. I can't believe I got stuck with these people. Our door failed one a Saturday, a 40+ year old cable snapped on one side of a double roll up door. Tracks were slightly bent. So replacing two cable (doesn't make sense to do just one). Replacing some bent track on one side. $400. To be fair it was a Sunday. So maybe that was fair, they were here for about two hours, maybe a bit more. Here's where it gets ugly. They were very insistent we replace the springs. Springs that were replaced less than three years ago. They did their best to frighten us about the dangers. The more they tried that approach the more resistant I became, because now I'm smelling a rat. They tired a trick when they were done to show me that the springs could no longer allow the door to close because they were so weak. OK boys were done here now. I said we'd open and close it manually until we could get the original company that installed the springs to come out. Suddenly they they offered to tighten the springs a bit more. Muttering something about seven turns is all that's allowed? A few more cranks on the springs and Ta-DA! it's working just fine. For the record the Spring replacement we had done cost us $250. These 'gentleman' wanted anywhere from $650 on up, depending on the length of the 'warranty' It seems they do not have a contractors license. There is no notation on the invoice of one, there are no markings on the truck. But when I started to get a bad feeling about these guys I snapped a picture of the trucks license plate. Final note they seem to operate under different names. The phone number we originally called was under "Honest 1" The shirts they were wearing said, "Garage Door service & Repair" as does the invoice. They had me make out the check to "B" Garage Door. They also really pushed me to pay via "Zelle" which itself is not advisable according to some consumer advocates. As a final insult they left a mess, to clean up. To Be fair work done I'll give them 2.5 stars, business practices less than -5 stars. read more

Total scammers! In 2022 they tried to charge me $800 to replace a broken garage door spring. Very pushy technician but this was during pandemic and I didn't want to have another company come out so I finally agreed to $500 to replace springs on both sides. Three years later one of the springs breaks. They tried to tell me this is the normal life of a spring and that there was no warranty! TOTAL SCAMMERS! Stay away from these thieves! read more

They overcharged me by a few thousand dollars for a simple $200-300 garage door motor install. They totally screwed me! They're not trustworthy read more

SCAMMER. Do not waste your time. We contacted another company that then sent this company over. Im assuming its a ring of scammers. When we wanted to hault the work, he he emplored us to call the police, which luckily happens to live right next door to us and de-escalate the situation. We did not pay the full scam price because of that. read more

STAY AWAY they are a scam, bought a garage door opener and it was not what I wanted then after installing it I wanted to return because it was not the one I wanted they wanted to charge me $400 labor REALLY a RIP OFF read more

I've tried to give them a chance to fix their mistake but they had no interest in even responding. They were called out by my grandmother to work in garage door because it was stalling in between opening and closing, an employee by the name of Ben was dispatched to do the work he was here for 20 min said it was fixed charged $350 and left, only to have the same problem occur hours later. When I called to contact for help we got no answer. This was shameful to do to an elderly woman. We will warn others about you whenever possible. read more

In 2022 our garage door would not go up or down. We had to manually open and close it. The original door guys were out of town and I was desperate. I called Garage Door 747-254-0635 (I put the number because they seem to have multiple names). The guy came out and said it was the motor and springs giving out. I approved the replacement (I was over charged but, I was billing to the estate). Nice job and all is good. Fast forward to 2024, the door will open but won't close. The reading on my app (the first guy installed a wifi unit) says the sensor is bad. UGH!!! I call Garage Door again. The new tech comes and looks at the door and says your spring is broken. WTF??? I say it just was replaced in 2022 and covered by warranty. He says his company did not install this and I say you a lie proceeding to show him the receipt. He takes a picture, leaves to talk to someone on his phone. Two minutes later he comes back and says the rollers are straining the springs and needs replacing. He proceeds to tell me he will discount the amount for 10 rollers at $390 plus service charge of $150 (he gave me the icks). While he's talking I reach out to the original service company and the owner says $95 service charge and if it is the rollers, they're about $5 a piece. I told the scammer guy I was good and he should leave my home. He proceeds to tell me he is the best in the business and no one is as good as him. BYE FLEECER!!! 24 hours later, Monrovia Garage doors comes out and confirms your sensors are bad. The rollers are fine and in fact 5 look to have already been replaced and look just fine. The only thing he did see was a cracked bracket that will be replaced when the part comes in. $95 for labor, $50 for parts door opens and closes like a dream. BEWARE OF THIS COMPANY!!! read more

I work for a property management company and called to get an estimate for this company in March 2024. In May 2024 the company installed a new garage motor, wireless opener and garage door for $2300. Literally, couple of months later the door stopped working. Left completely open. The remotes and wireless would not work to close door. I called for service and the technician came out in November and stated the unit needed a reset. I told him to reset it. He called owner and they told him it would be $115. I said $115 to reset something you all just installed. So I had to request funds from company to pay as this new charge was not expected. In February when the tech came they informed me that the garage motor was out and it was not a reset issue. I called and asked to speak with owner. He was very rude, over talking, not helpful and suggested that I call Liftmaster for the problem. Why would I call Liftmaster if your company purchased this and installed it here? He was clearly being obnoxious and disrespectful. In theory without any purchasing info like a receipt, date, item numer etc for warranty info that owner wouldn't provide. I then suggested he call Liftmaster and listed why and he was even more furious because it would be logical and accurate if you were really a legit company and businessman to solve issue. With or without warranty an alleged brand new garage motor should not go out twice in under six months. They could have replaced in November as it was clearly out and he just said it needed resetting. After many minutes of very unprofessional tone and chaotic exchanges I told owner he should get exchange from Liftmaster and or honor work that was paid for and replace/exchange out this motor. He said he would charge for labor for $450. Why are you charging labor for same item that labor has been paid for. This should be a courtesy. The total for a single garage door and motor would now be $2750. If I had paid for the fake reset in November for $115. The total would be $2865. This company is fraudulent, don't honor a warranty whether you have one or not, charge for either damaged, faulty, not new, possibly used etc and do not replace and/or cover it. Especially when it is caught and proven and called to attention. Please, don't use this company. Please, continue to report this company. Please, sue this company. It is unfortunate how many solutions are capable of being solved yet how prevalent crooked, shady, unprofessional and rude alot of businesses are that actually cause problems for customers that are trying to give them business and or use their services to stay in business. Horrible experience! Please, see proof. Thank you for reading and I hope your experiences are not like this. read more

We have 3 garage doors. Only the middle one broke and needed to be changed. Mike came, showed us pictures, gave us a price, and gave him a 50% deposit. His installer came today and installed a door with the wrong top panel. Completly wrong. The shape is wrong and the glass is wrong. Mike refused to correct it unless we pay him an additional $200. Shame on him. He is a crook. Use him at your peril! read more

My mom almost got scammed from these people today. They go by a different name now it is called Garage Door service and Repair and their supposed address is 5812 Edinger Ave, Huntington Beach, CA. We called and scheduled a free quote to replace my garage door entirely with everything new including the tracks, springs , and the whole combo deal. We were greeted by this man named "Daniel" and he quoted us $1300 for the standard door complete deal. We were pretty happy with the price and we asked for a written quote and would call later to schedule the installation. He told us that we needed to put down a $400 dollar deposit. And we agreed. Before we scheduled the installation we called to ask for a formal contract to be drawn up and they agreed, but then they started changing the prices which was my first red flag. Then I asked them for their license number in which they did not provide. 2nd red flag. And then they told me they can only do the deposit through cash or Zelle (no major debit,credit cards or checks) that was my final red flag. I looked them up and they had a generic website made (http://garagerepairpro.buildingsit.com). And I decided to type In The number in google and this showed up. I'm so happy I caught this before we gave them any money. I called "Daniel" and told him I will be cancelling my order and he blew up on me, he started yelling that I need to Zelle him for the gas he wasted and the time he came out to diagnose. It was completely apparent that this was a scam. I told him I will inform the police if he keeps calling me and asking for compensation in which there was no service provided. Please be careful everyone ! read more

Skill Garage Door & Gate - Scammers invoice - Garage Door Services Near Me

All the reviews are correct. This place is a scam. Before they even looked at the inside of the garage they were telling me the whole door needs to be replaced and I needed a completely new set-up. They never addressed the problem at hand and said it could not be done. He quoted me $2500 for everything. I declined and and found someone to replace the part and tightened the springs for $140. read more

BEWARE! I think these people are scammers. Lured us in with a fake Mesa Garage website. Didn't find out until after service was done that they weren't with Mesa. Talked fast, couldn't understand anything he was saying. Charged us 4x the estimate. No address on the illegibly written invoice. Tracked down the phone number associated with the billing to Tgcorp1990 Inc. 4470 Ventura Canyon Ave., Sherman Oaks, CA 91423 (818) 747-0296. I think they are probably constantly changing names to stay one step ahead of the Better Business Bureau. read more

Horrible, horible, horible... Stay away at all costs. This company is worthless. Be careful; they call you immediately, saying they are trying to understand when and where they can send a tech. The guy came without confirming a time and started hard selling their service. We only needed a tension spring installed. We allowed the tech to start working and right away the guy starts talking about we new garage door opener without even inspecting the unit. The tech tried to leave without making sure it worked. Still saying we needed a new unit. The next day, I went to open the garage, and it didn't work. I texted the tech, and he asked for a video and again said we needed a new unit. I texted the tech, and he asked for a video and again said we needed a new unit. The tech asked for a video and again said we needed a new unit. What ended up happening was the tech left the parts loose (I think on purpose), causing the cable to become unattached. I was able to reattach the cable and tighten the other loose parts, and it is working fine now. DON'T USE THEM read more

This garage Door Company is a scam. They are not licensed. They will charge 5x more than a job is worth and then do the job wrong !

I am Iin LaHabra and called a company called Same day garage doors and now they don't exist . Called on 12/28/23 . They are middle eastern . Do not hire! I have informed the police of fraud !

Rude, terrible service!!! Tried to charge $250 for "adjusting the sensor" and when my mom pushed back he "only" charged her $125 for about 15 minutes of work. When I got home the garage still wouldn't stay closed. Offered to change out the sensor for the remaining $125. When I started questioning things (I had looked up troubleshooting for the error we were getting) he kept cutting me off and was being extremely rude and kept raising his voice. I asked about a warranty, and he kept dancing around it, and finally said "well if you guys actually read your invoice you'd see we guarantee it for 30 days." He kept insisting the sensor needed to be changed out (even though it was a solid green). We told him to pound sand. The next day my mom got another guy out, he determined within 5 minutes that the actual garage door opener install wasn't done correctly, secured the motor and only charged $85. Oh, and when I tried to look up THIS company, I couldnt find them (how shady is that?) I only got the yelp information for this company (the phone number matches up) thru social media with another homeowner complaining about a shady garage door opener company that sounded way too similar to our experience. For the love of god, do NOT use this company!!! read more

Completely agree with the previous two one-star reviews. All the other reviews are fake. Unlicenced contractors: Yonatan Hasan and his friend Adam. They are crooks and they are rude. It's a very long story but briefly: Yonatan was refusing to tell me his actual name (was giving me fake names) but I figured it out. I originally asked for a lubrication of a working garage door and a replacement of a lost remote. They convinced me that the whole thing was installed incorrectly (has been working fine until recently) and that the "broken" springs had to be replaced. They asked $200 for each spring ($30 on Amazon) and $150 for a remote ($15 on Amazon), $250 for the work. They also added a state tax. They requested to be paid by Zelle and I naively agreed. They moved the axle where it was attached to the wall originally and reattached it to a new place which turned out to be the drywall (!!!) so that the next day I discovered that the axle came out and ruined the part of the wall where it was attached. They came next day to fix the damage. Yonatan was extremely rude and aggressive. He kept telling me that he came "to help me". They left without even fixing the damaged drywall. read more

Same Problem, This time they were under Puente Garage Door Repair and Installation. Bid $350 . Then he said $1100. Took it down to $750 for two springs. Wanted the check paid to left blank. Invoice under Garage Door Repair and installation, Check made out to Skill Garage Door and Gate. Two other local companies said job S/B around $350. So the bid ( the hook ) was right , after job finished the rip off occurs. To avoid confrontation wrote check and as soon as he left placed a stop pay. They are not licensed with the State Contractors Board and do not have the local city permit either. Really hope they are dumb enough to try small claims court. read more

this company charged me $700 more dollars then I found the job was worth: Do not call this company. I am thinking about taking this company to court. the side gate batteries cost $75.00 dollars on line for two batteries. It took the tech 20 minutes to install and fix the gate. My bill was for 900.00. the bill is under Garage Door service and repair. phone is 747-254-0635. the text I get is from itaycohen566@gmail.com. Don't do business with this company. read more

I also made the mistake of calling these con men. They sent out a fast talker with a thick accent I could barely understand. My double garage door was giving me a problem with the remote. The motor was old and probably needed replacing but this guy convinced me that I needed two new springs for my double door and one for the single. When I asked the cost he just mumbled, but I had him go ahead. He finished and the bill was $3000! I had no choice but to pay it. A few days later the door was still acting up so I called a local company. Bottom line, the springs he installed were too heavy duty for my door, so the door was out of balance. I had the appropriate springs installed, a new motor and track put in, all for less money than I paid Skill. The door now works perfectly. And this company told me the cost before performing the work. Please learn from my mistake. read more

My friend has a handy capped son, his garage door broke and somehow he ended up with these clowns coming to his home. They replaced 2 springs and told him he needed a new motor? They charged him 1,200 "per spring" ($2,400.00) / then 2,000 for something that looks like they wrote opener & vell 7? for $2,000. / then labor for opener 300.00? / labor on springs 300.00 ? grand total of $5,528.00!!! I think he could have gotten a brand new door installed for less money! reading other reviews these guys clearly take advantage of people, they are not licensed and took advantage of a handy capped man who can not read. Just disgusting. I wish there was a more clear way to warn people. There is no company name on the invoice, it just says garage door service and repair. I had to google the phone number to even find where to write a yelp review. Wish there was more I could do for him. read more

I contacted them for an estimate of repairing garage door. Alexander came, I asked him three times for an estimate, which he refused to give, instead he started taking apart the garage opener!
