Business ProfileforBSD Garage Doors

This morning, the garage door spring suddenly malfunctioned. In a hurry, I called the person who had repaired it last time and left a sticker, but when I inquired, they mentioned a charge of $90 for a visit. Despite the high cost, I had to call them. Upon inspection, they demanded $700 for the springs($350 each), $230 for end plates ($115 each), $65 for the center, $200 for the drums ($100 each), and $300 for labor, totaling $1,495.Feeling that the price was too high, I attempted to settle for $90, but they insisted on an additional $200 for examining the parts they had dismantled. Feeling awkward, I negotiated the price down to $1,250, with payment through Zelle. After about 30 minutes, the job was completed, and I made the payment via Zelle. Upon further investigation online, I found high-quality parts at much lower prices: 2 springs for $129.99 (totaling $550), 2 end plates for $15.30 (totaling $180), 1 center for $10.49 (totaling $45), and 2 drums for $12.87 (totaling $110). The total cost for online parts was $168.65, significantly lower than the $885 charged for the same components. In my opinion, it is unjust to charge $885 for parts, even when purchasing quality components online for $168.65, especially when an excessive fee for labor is also being applied. I would like to recommend to everyone that, no matter how urgent the situation, it is crucial to obtain a quote first and compare before proceeding with repairs.
