I was pretty disappointed in the service I received from Cowart. The guy who came out to see what was wrong with my door was a new hire. He stayed about 15 minutes and after at first saying my clicker was bad, then responded to his helper who suggested they try the universal clicker which didn’t work. Then he said my circuit board had gone bad and I needed a new opener. And he did not have one to install so the company would get back to me about the installation. For this 15-minute very cursory visit I received a bill for $100. When I complained receptionist said well maybe it could be included in the cost of the replacement and she went to get approval on this. WHen the same guy came back two days later for the installation his instructions were wrong and he had no opener to install with him. He did not remember ever having been to my house which totally blew me away. He didn’t know the model number of the unit that would be installed (Ihad to look it up and tell him). At any rate, I had lost all confidence in this project and cancelled it at this point.

This company is awesome! They arrived on time, quickly assessed the problem, explained what was wrong and what was needed to fix the problem. They performed the work, checked everything out to make sure it was working, showed me that it was fixed. The receipt included pictures of the issue and the final results. The crew were very professional and nice. I would definitely hire them again.

I didn't actually get any service from them but when I needed them to do some immediate repair on my garage door, they were EXTREMELY quick to respond and were very communicative. My friend's husband ended up taking care of the repair but I know who I'll be calling for any kind of major garage door service next time! Just knowing how fast they responded and how willing they were to help me out when I needed it is enough for me to absolutely call them back when I will need a new garage door.

The garage door at our home (double door) broke and it was very difficult to open manually.  I called Cowart Door systems after looking them up on Angie's List.  They answered the phone immediately, were able to give me an appointment for the next morning, they showed up on time, and performed the repair.  As of late, this is a very rare experience for me in the Austin area.  The professionalism, punctuality and quality of the work is very much appreciated.  I highly recommend them and they will definitely be the ones I used going forward for any of my garage door needs.  Thank you.

Response from Cowart Door Systems

"Hi Jim, Thanks for your comments. Regarding the door warranty vis-a-vis the existing operator, the only impact on door warranty is damage caused by the operator. Essentially, we are saying that we cannot warranty bad behavior of an operator that we did not install. Hopefully, that is what our tech meant to communicate, I will speak with him to be sure our messaging is correct and consistent. As you point out, if the operator is reasonably new, and has appropriate safeties, this is an unlikely occurrence. To assure things go smoothly, we recommend monthly checks of the operator safeties per the manufacturer's recommendations. The same is true for the door. A shot of light garage door oil to the hinges and roller ball bearings every 6-9 months will help to keep the door operation smooth and quiet. Good luck with the new door and thanks for the business. Dave Winship"

Almost two years ago Cowart did a service on my custom installed garage doors (doors they installed originally). That technician said my springs were too heavy duty and I didn't need two on each door, so he released the tension on one spring for each door. Two days ago my door wouldn't open and the cause is the active spring broke. $125 service call from Cowart confirmed that the prior technician was wrong and one spring isn't capable of doing the job, it needs both. Now Cowart wants me to pay on top of the $125 service call to replace the broken spring, a spring that broke because of their mistake.
I get that mistakes can be made but when a service company doesn't own up and fix their mistakes I look for other providers.

Repair people ran late by 2 hours, but I was informed of their schedule and asked if o.k.
Repairmen were knowledgeable, competent and explained what and why along the way. They fixed problem quickly and I am very pleased with their quality of workmanship.

They were very good. They got the part quickly, and did not try to sell any unnecessary work to me. The job was done fast and efficiently.

It was an Angie's List Big Deal that I purchased. I was not impressed with those people at all. I've since had other garage door people out and they were able to repair it so I don't recommend them at all. They did come out so they did respond.

Cowart Door Systems made temporary repairs to a badly damaged door and provided helpful advice on how to cost effectively service the door in the future. They were prompt, knowledgeable, and experienced. Work was done quickly and professionally.
