What Customers Say About Our Spring & Cable Repair in Serrano Heights
Real reviews from Serrano Heights and nearby Lake Forest neighborhoods.
“Our Baker Ranch door at 11:38: frayed aircraft cable slipped the drum, so door hung crooked. Baker Ranch newer homes still on the first set of rollers. They reeved new lift cables, seated them on the drums, and checked the safety loops for this Baker Ranch door. Number is on the fridge.”
“Absolutely excellent service. My spring died Sunday pm with no warning. Urgent picked up the phone snd sent Danny to look at it within 30 min. Danny was one of the nicest, most patient repair persons Ive ever met. He was transparent and educated me a lot during the repair. I'd use them again in a heartbeat even if it were not an emergency.”
“David diagnosed an issue that THREE other garage companies could not solve!!! After spending so much money, he finally fixed our system at a fraction of the cost. I highly recommend him - affordable, knowledgeable and professional!”
