Home warranty company contracted A-1. After seeing the reviews we were somewhat hesitant, but were completely satisfied after having them here. They said we would need to replace the circuit board which was damaged and also balance the garage door which was off kilter. We were told upfront that our warranty may not cover the maintenance on the door. I confirmed this info with our warranty company so it came as no surprise. Once we got our schedules together they came back and did the work. Very courteous and professional. We spent $75 for the warranty co-pay and $95 on the additional work.

I was told that the belt needed replacement and door was out of balance and an estimate of $275 in addition to the $45 paid for this call. The technician said the part would need to be ordered and take 3-5 business days to get the part. My home warranty company called and said they wouldn't be covering the service which is BS but the point is this company shows up as a garage door repair company and doesn't carry the parts - they need to be ordered?? They stiffed me for by $45 to give me the prognosis. The office wouldn't order the part without a deposit? Really? Don't you repair garage doors? Don't you need these parts anyway? I called another company who came and repaired the problem as they carry parts required for the business of repairing garage doors.
Response from A-1 Door Repair Service, Inc.
"When a homeowner contacts their home warranty company for a problem, the home warranty company contacts us with basic information to contact the homeowner to set up an appointment to diagnose the problem. Anytime a homeowner places a claim with their home warranty company there is a deductible due. The home owner is fully aware of this and the home warranty company determines the deductible amount that is due. As a contractor for the home warranty company we are responsible to collect that deductible for the home warranty company. We are the middle man. We do not control coverages on home warranty policies. We do not receive their policy information. Once diagnosed we contact the home warranty company and give them our information of diagnosis at which time they review the homeowners coverages and comtact the homeowner. Anytime a special order part is involved, our company policy requires a deposit."

I paid $90 to put the cables back on the door and the service fee was $60. It was fine until Saturday when the sprocket wouldn’t unroll. I called them yesterday. I told them it had been making a noise on Friday and then it broke on Saturday. I have called 4 times and have not received a call back. The garage door has been stuck up for 4 days.

"The homeowner paid $90.00 on June 4, 2014 for our technician to put the cables back on her door. The home warranty company did not cover this item.This required labor only. The homeowner paid a deductible of $60.00 to her home warranty company. We merely collect that for her home warranty company. The homeowner called our company yesterday stating that she wanted service immediately. We explained to the homeowner that we would have to set up an appointment. She stated she would have to call back. Due to storms in our area yesterday our phone system was down. We did speak to the homeowner yesterday afternoon at which time we explained to her that our phone lines were down. By her explanation her call was for a different problem. We told her that we would not charge her a service call since we had been out there in the past 30 days. We would only charge labor plus parts."

A call to the Home Warranty Service resulted in them checking the sources I had read as they related to my experience at which time they offered another option to my service need.  I graciously and expeditiously accepted the offer and opportunity to avoid working with this service provider, A-1 Door.  Paid the $75. service call and feel it was more than worth it to avoid future contact ... I couldn't imagine dealing with this woman if there were an actual problem with their work ...    The new installer was out the next day and installed a new garage door opener in a prompt and professional manner ... I'm confident I made the right decision when I moved to another company even when there was an added expense in the form of the $75. service fee paid to A-1.

"We received a service work order from [member name removed] home warranty company on January 16,2014 at 2:36 pm We contacted [member name removed] on that same day at 3:04 pm and set up an appointment for Saturday, January 18, 2014 per [member name removed]request due to his schedule. This information is all documented. I am uncertain where [member name removed] time frame is coming from unless it is due to him waiting on the home warranty company which is out of our control. As soon as we receive customer information, we are required under contract with his home warranty company to contact the customer within 4 hours of receiving the information. We contacted him within the hour. I also noted that [member name removed] stated he had visited other online sources which he failed to mention names of these other online sources. Any other online sources that we are connected with have A+ ratings on our company including the Better Business Bureau. The other complaints listed on this particular website are "home warranty" customers complaining of items that are out of our control. The home warranty has a protocol our company must follow to obtain our contract with them. Alot of the homeowners do not understand their home warranty company procedures. Our parts department contacted [member name removed] on Monday, January 20, 2014 at 9:38 am to inform him that we had ordered his circuit board at which time [member name removed] became beligerant complaining he wanted a new unit instead. The parts department attempted to explain to [member name removed] the procedures to no avail. His home warranty offered him a "cash buyout" since he was non compliant to the normal protocol, therefore [member name removed] had the advantage to contact anyone to repair/replace his unit in his timeframe. The $75.00 service fee [member name removed] referred to in his complaint is not a service fee but a deductible that is due anytime he places a claim with his home warranty company."

Our garage door did not want to close - it would take anywhere from 2-8 attempts to get the door to close all the way.  I had TWO other garage door techs look at it and nobody could diagnose the real problem, all saying it was the sensor and nobody fixing it.  The problem had gotten worse so we filed a claim through our home warranty company and were set up with A-1 Door Repair.  P.J. Metzker was the technician who came out and I could not have been happier with his work.  He did a thorough examination and noticed that there was some bad wiring and that the door itself was very off-balance - a big safety hazard because it would come crashing down if someone pulled the release cord. P.J. was extremely knowledgeable and thorough, as well as very nice and conscientious. I would recommend P.J. with A-1 Door to anyone.
