Description of Work: Garage Doors were not closing properly; they would go down, but open up again upon reaching the ground. I called Overhead, the serviceman got them to stay down by leaving a very slight gap at floor level. Most of our conversation involved him telling me what poor shape they were in, and that I needed new doors. Prior to his service call, the key pad on the exterior of the garage worked fine, and we would occasionally use it to open the doors (not often). Some weeks after his call, we tried the key pad, and it didn't work. I called Overhead, a man answering told me to try a new battery in the key pad. I did, and it didn't work (no sign of power). Nursing an ailing Father, I was busy, and got back to Overhead on 3-25-13, after burying my Father and looking after his affairs. When I reached Overhead yesterday, I was told there would be another service charge, since it had been almost 2 months since previous service. I objected, and the lady asked what kind of keypad, and it's number. After providing her with the number inside the keypad, she said she would get me info on re-programming the keypad after Craftsman opened that morning. I still haven't heard from her, and don't expect to.I got the definite impression that the serviceman and the lady answering phones were more about billing customers than providing friendly service ! I've lived in this same house for 27 years, with the same garage doors, and both have served me well. I've used Overhead in the past to adjust the doors, but apparently the attitudes at that business aren't as friendly as in past years.

Response from Overhead Door Company of Flint
We went out to (member name deleted) home because his door was not closing properly. Our technician was able to get his door closed by adjusting the limit on the opener. Adjusting limits on the openers do not require anything to be done with the receiver. If the receiver would have been touched causing the keypad to lose its program, the remotes would have quit also. In addition, if (member name deleted) had changed the battery but there was still not power than the keypad had gone bad and would need to be changed. This is why we explained that programming instructions would not work if the keypad did not have power. Considering that the keypad goes several weeks without being used, this could have happened at anytime and may have quit before our service was performed. If this issue would have been due to any service that we provided than we would have taken his life difficulties in to consideration. Not only was the service out of warranty when he called in March but his complaint had nothing to do with the work that we provided. (member name deleted) doors are Taylor brand doors that are in very poor shape and parts are not available. The shapes of his doors have been documented on all his signed work orders. This is why out technician spent time with him explaining that his doors would need to be changed ASAP. This was documented on invoices in 2009 and 2013.
