First I would like to say that the technician was on time and courteous. He definitely knew his stuff. However, I was taken aback a little by your pricing. Being a rare purchase, I figured the pricing had to be in line with others, so I accepted his recommendation. Something just didn't sit right about the pricing, so I decided to call around for pricing. The first 2 companies I called said they could have done the job cheaper. Can you please help me understand why I was charged more?

A Response from BJ Denton:
Mr. Gratkolowski,
Thanks so much for your input. It will only help us improve the business. Please allow me to enlighten you a little about garage door springs, and why one will cost more than another. Like automobile tires come in different qualities, with differing expected mileage ratings based on how the rubber was prepared, (Vulcanized or not) .... Garage door springs are also available in differing qualities with signifigantly different life cycle ratings, based on how the steel is prpared. At Precision we only use hot oil tempered, hardened steel springs with a minimum life cycle expectancy of 30,000+ cycles. Many other companies only buy and install cold rolled steel springs which typically have a life expectancy of 10,000 - 15,000 cycles. Obviously, there is an up front price difference in purchasing the better quality springs. This should have been explained by our technician on site during our call. For that I apologize. I hope this helps, and if you would like to discuss this any further, please feel free to call me directly at 321-777-4263.
