Follow up after garage door service

We had our garage door serviced thought an Angie's list special to have our door rollers replaced/ garage door reconditioning. The door would not open the next morning because a major overhead spring broke, possibly due to an improper adjustment of balancing both sides equally (according an 40+ year A class builder with garage door experience). Jim at Academy Overhead Door took NO responsibility of the POSSIBILITY of the spring breaking due to his service. He offered me a "great" deal at $250 (normally $375) to replace the springs... even though he had another deal on Angies List to replace them at $189. Jim stated that Angies list made an error stating replacement of BOTH springs, it should have been for only ONE spring, and but he would honor that price and once again, I was getting a GREAT deal. The office asked me pay him directly. I found out later that it would have been cheaper with normal pricing using the company who replaced the springs earlier. In recontacting Jim about my dissatisfaction of his lack of acknowledging that this could have been due to a poor adjustment, pricing, etc, he did not acknowledge MY problem... only told me again what a great deal I got, how he is short on good help, how expensive it is to run a business, how builders (even custom homes)always cut corners by putting in the cheapest doors, it would have taken days for an appointment with his competition, etc.. He forgot that I am the CUSTOMER. I asked him a third time to try to make this right by possibly giving me the springs at cost, free labor, etc and was only offered another great deal...to have my garage door adjusted for free next year. I do give him credit for a quick response.

We have been very apologetic as well as surprised that you feel unsatisfied with your experience. Customer service is always of utmost important to all of us @ Academy Overhead Door. We hate to hear you were dissatisfied with the price quoted to replace your broken springs. However, as previously stated and In no disrespect, when an individual goes to any retail outlet they don't offer their specials upon going in the door, it is typically up to the consumer to look and browse the ads for the best possible deal. As in this situation we did extend the Angie's List special of the 189.00 to replace both springs. Moreover, we appreciate you and your business and hope to be of service to you in the future. We still stand by our offer of a free door and opener service $124.95 value free of charge. We feel that given the second chance you will be as equally satisfied as our other customers are.
