Review from John D.

The technician arrived on time. The gear on the top of an older LiftMaster garage door had broken off and chains were therefore sagging. I asked him about replacing the gear assembly ($30 part on Amazon) and he said they only repair equipment that they had installed. That's not mentioned anywhere in their Angi listing. I then asked about replacing the opener. He quoted me $1,150 for the "top of the line" Liftmaster opener with a camera, wifi, LED lights, etc. I had resigned myself to getting squeezed for $500. I told him no thanks and paid the $75 service fee. I looked up the opener on the internet and found it retail for $365. As Precision is a LiftMaster dealer, they probably paid somewhere south of $200 for it. I looked up slightly lower end openers at Lowes and they run between $200 and $300 for ones with LED lights, back up battery, WiFi connectivity. Lowes charges $139 for installation by a Lowes qualified local contractor. Summing it up, I can buy the same opener on the internet (allsecurityequipment.com) for $365, pay a handyman ~$150 and save over $600. So that's what I would recommend you do if you're not too handy and need the opener replaced. Precision's service is very overpriced and it is misleading that they advertise repair services and then say only if they installed the equipment when they get to your house.
