The $1K Garage Door Fix That Opened My Eyes
Home service bros—
You’re sleeping on garage door repair businesses.
20min of work and the tech charged me $1k 😳
My eyes have been opened today. Here’s why
🧵
Garage door doesn’t open this morning… crud.
I look up and it’s obvious the spring broke.
I called one of the first ranked on Google. Here’s how the questions went—
will this be a new door or service appointment?
what’s your address, we do in person quotes
wood or aluminum?
what do you think is wrong with it?
contact info
schedule appointment
1 hour later the tech arrived.
He looks at it and says “yep, you need a new spring… but when you do the spring you should also do this this and this”
Me— negative ghost rider, just the spring
Him— cool, give me 20min
20min later, it’s done.
After he charges $1k to my card, I start chatting with him. Here’s the scoop
he does 7-8 calls a day with the most frequent and minimum job being the spring
there’s 11 techs working for this coming all doing the same volume.
he carried most of the equipment needed for these jobs in his truck and is ready to go with each house.
most jobs don’t take more than 45min.
Seriously… this is incredible. Easiest 1k I’ve ever seen someone make.
Who here has a garage door biz or knows someone who does?
I want to talk to them.
