What matters in garage door repair estimates
- Show the service call. Customers ask what they owe if they say no. One line answers it.
- Name each part. "Pair of torsion springs" is clearer than "parts" and matches what you install.
- Add-ons on separate lines. Rollers and a tune-up are choices. Separate lines let the customer pick.
- Approval before you start. A written yes before you unwind a spring protects you if the bill is disputed.
