Please, never use this company. Save your money! We have a home warranty with Old Republic. Regrettably, they sent us 495 Garage Door Inc. when our garage door stopped working. This is truly the worst company I have dealt with in my entire life, and I am 50! The customer service reps are extremely rude and useless. We had an issue with the garage door not closing and the door opener light not working. The technician came to our home, stated one of the door sensors is not working and the light socket needs to be replaced. He went to his truck, pulled out an old sensor, and replaced ours with an old sensor! These sensors only cost $5 new, but no, he replaced it with the old one. He then stated he doesn't have any light sockets in the truck, so another technician will come out and replace the socket tomorrow. He did, however take a check for $75, for a five minute job and used part. A couple of days passed and no one came. I called them and inquired when someone could come and finish the job. They stated the technician would call. Of course, no one called. I then placed another 4 phone calls over then next two weeks, all of which ended with a rude customer service agent stating "the technician will call", which never happened. After so much time wasted on this issue, I called Old Republic, our home warranty provider to get some type of resolution. They contacted 495 Garage Door Inc. who stated: We replace the light socket as a courtesy to our customers and we decided not to replace theirs. First of all, that's discrimination, plain and simple. Second, the technician did not state that when he was at our home. He clearly stated to me and my husband that a technician would be coming the next day to change the socket. Third, during 5 different phone calls, not one person made that statement. Not one of reps stated no one was coming. Quite the contrary, they stated the technician would contact us to arrange a time to come finish the job. Fourth, even if they do it as a courtesy, the technician made a commitment on behalf of the company. The company is required to honor their commitment. Done waste your time, energy and money on this company. They are rude, extremely unprofessional and discriminatory. They never keep their commitments but are very quick to take your money.
