Socal Garage Doors

Have used these guys twice for repairs to our garage door opener and both times Gus has come out the same day and diagnosed and fixed the problems. Prices were extremely reasonable and wouldn’t hesitate to use or recommend Gus in the future.

Once again, Socal Garage Doors aims to please. I left a message on their website this morning, got an email response back within an hour. Called for an appointment and Evers was here on time the same afternoon. Fixed two broken hinges, oiled things up and inspected everything for $ 55. Fantastic!

Called mid-​day with a broken spring issue and Evers came out same day to make repairs. Price was extremely reasonable, service was quick and complete. Would highly recommend for all your garage door issues. Door is smoother and quieter than ever!

I was calling garage door companies left and right to get some basic estimates for a new garage door and motor. Evers was the nicest and most helpful person I called. Not only did he provide me a fast and accurate estimate, he was able to come out to my property the next day for measuring etc. I selected the style door I liked and Evers was able to install it the next day!!! He went above and beyond because he had to work around a non operating car parked in the garage and had to remove an old wooden structure to accommodate the new door. He never complained and was professional. He really knows his stuff! Thanks! Also check out the before and after photo.

I called; he came that morning and quickly replaced the broken spring for a reasonable price. If I have any other problems with the garage door, I will certainly call him again.

My Wife and I are the unfortunate owners of a Wayne Dalton Torquemaster installation. For those who don’t know what that is the basics is that instead of a standard spring installation our spring is within the torsion tube. Because the spring is located inside the torsion tube it is much smaller and has less gauge and basically has a shorter life cycle than a standard torsion installation. Needless to say, after around 6 years of use the spring failed and our garage door motor nearly tore the roof of our garage door off trying to pull it up.
I found Evers youtube video about doing a torquemaster conversion to a standard spring installation and called him up. He immediately gave me a VERY reasonable quote over the phone (far less than I expected) to replace everything with a standard torsion. Since our home was a new construction we also called the subcontractor «Safe & Secure» who built our home who sent out a service rep (wouldn’t give a quote over the phone) and quoted us more than double the amount Evers quoted.
Evers and I texted several times because of concerns over whether a standard torsion would fit and although we did try to measure it out when Evers arrived we concluded I didn’t have enough clearance to fit a standard torsion system (without a great deal of cost) so we did the torquemaster again. It was still half the cost of what I was quoted by Safe and Secure and was compelled to write this because I felt like he truly went above and beyond to help us out.
Thanks again Evers!

Evers just left my house and I must say… awesome job!
First off, my garage had a couple of minor cracks in a couple of sections. My garage reached a point where it would randomly get stuck and made horrible cracking and popping sounds. I’ve had enough. I found his youtube video on using garage struts to brace a section to prevent sagging.
I called around and found that Socal Garage Doors was the cheapest than anyone in the area. When I say cheapest, I mean BEST value!!!
Evers not only installed and FIXED my sagging issues, but he also tuned up a few problem areas. He also tuned up the coil springs at no additional cost to account for the added weight!
All in all, I am a happy customer and everything looks solid!
Note: So if you have some minor tears/​cracks in your garage door, don’t wait until it gets worse! Get it fixed!

Evers is a super nice guy and he did a great job! my garage door came off the track and nearly feel down at 1:45 on Saturday… I figured I was in trouble. I went straight to Unilocal to look for help and I found Socal in O.B. I like to keep it local so I wanted to give him the business because I live in Point Loma… called Evers at 1:50 and to my surprise not only answered the phone, he said he could be at my place by 3. Evers showed up right at 3 and did a great job! I WAS VERY IMPRESSED!

Evers Garcia seemed promising, answering my call about our garage door that wouldn’t shut at 10:00 PM on a Sunday night. He arrived at 9:00 AM the next morning and «fixed» a broken cable and I paid him $ 85.
Fifteen minutes after Evers left, the garage door wasn’t working again. I called him and he came back to «fix» the problem (again), after about an hour of working in the garage he told me that he wasn’t able to fix the problem because the system wasn’t correctly assembled. I asked him for my money back and he refused saying that he had already came out twice and that the initial problem had been fixed and that this was a new problem.
The final result: $ 85 out of my pocket, a garage door that is still broken, and a pissed off customer. Thanks for NOTHING Evers.

I just wanted to thank this company in particular Ebers I think the guy I talked to. I called this company after Sears told me I needed to replay the whole motor on my garage door opener. I needed a 2^nd opinion and just talked to the guy about what was going on. He told me a screw to tighten and now it works like a charm. Thank you for your honestly and help and for saving me $ 500 or more dollars and shame on Sears for just wanting my money.

Evers Garcia was very late on the scheduled installation day. He was injured, working slowly and I was upset with him. We had problems and I let him know how I felt. Later that day he called me and apologized. he returned and made every thing perfect. He redeemed himself 100% and that is saying a lot for a young man. Thank you for being a man of character in a business world full of people that want to rip you off. I have a very quiet garage door opener and new springs and feel safe now. Thank you Evers.

They must not want my business, I need a new garage door and thought I would support a local business. I called for an estimate and no one answered so I left voicemail AND I went on their website to submitt a request to be contacted. I never heard back (over a week now) so I will take my business elsewhere.

Wow! I manage a vacation rental in OB and my clients car was stuck in the garage. These guys came out and had it fixed within two hours! AND it didnt cost an arm and a leg! I will keep their number on speed dial! THANK YOU!

I called many places to see how much it cost to get my garage door replace. SoCal Garage by far was the cheapest. He out beat his competitors by $ 300-​$ 600. I spoke with Gus, very friendly and professional. After calling him, he came out to my house in less than 30 mins to estimate the work. I had a two car garage wooden door with an old motor. He recommended that I replace the whole thing which makes total sense. It was a Thursday when he came out, he said he can get the new door up the next day but we both forgot it was good Friday so the door distributer was closed so my new garage door was not going to get installed until Monday. He came out on Monday installed the new door with windows and motor and haul away all the old stuff. The new motor he install was a Genie 1024 it is so quiet you can barely hear it running. If u are looking for someone that is good and would not rip u off like GDS, than u must call Gus. My coworkers will be callIng him too.

Extremely impressed by this company. Had a problem with our garage door opener yesterday evening. Gave them a call and they attempted to walk me through several trouble shooting steps over the phone instead of just trying to schedule an appointment to get paid. When none of those worked, they drove over to my house that same evening and diagnosed the problem to be a broken internal spring. Scheduled an appointment for the very next morning and they were prompt and did a great job. Definitely went above and beyond what I would’ve expected and I would highly recommend them. Thanks Evers.

Torsion spring broke Friday morning. I couldn’t find any one out there to come and replace the torsion spring on either Friday or Saturday. Got a few quotes and made an appointment for the following week. I was going to try to fix it myself and found that no one carries these springs except when you order through the internet… I was told it was a liability issue… go figure. I finally called SoCal Garage Doors and these guys were available on Saturday. The repairman came over to fixed my door. He was done within 45 minutes, replaced all the questionable parts, made sure the door operated properly and still charged me less than anyone else. On top of that, he was a very nice individual. Can’t ask for more!

I bought my house in April 2012, and the roll up garage door was not installed properly so kept having little problems with it. I installed the garage door opener they left behind to no avail, so i bought a new Chamberlain ¾ hp from Costco and installed it. Still the original door problems existed, and one of the cables came off the door, so i called SoCal Garage repair. The tech was here 2 ½ hrs, adjusted the opener system and got everything working perfectly! And their rates are affordable. Thanks SoCal Garage guys.

Tues. AM I have a garage door torsion spring snap and garage is out of commission. Thanks to google for letting me know NOT to try and use it even though it would still slowly open and close. Could have damaged the opener as well. Googled again a list of 5 local shops for an estimate. Prices were what I knew they would be… ridiculous. Socal was last on my list to call and what a deal did I find. $ 195 for both springs, tuneup, alignment, and lube all casters. Same day service (within hrs actually) and Evers@socal was on the scene with the job completed in 30 minutes. 8yr warranty to top it off! This is$ 100-​$ 200 cheaper than the «other» guys and I could not have asked for better service. Thanks Evers, I will pass on the word to my neighbors that your the co. to call for anything garage door related.

I started to write a long post on here but then I realized no one would read it. So let me keep it simple.
–I called 10 companies for prices on my door. Socal was the cheapest.
–They came same day for a free estimate, and were very friendly and clearly knew garage doors very well.
–When I was ready to proceed, I called on a Monday, and my door was started and completed the following day.
–I am extremely picky on quality of work, and there were a lot of obstacles in our install that Gus could have cut corners on, but he did everything clean and with high quality. The install was rock solid, very quality with no loose ends.
I am an extremely satisfied customer, and unless you find a price from someone else that they can’t match, you are crazy to let anyone else do your work but Socal.
A true ⁵⁄₅. Too bad all businesses don’t operate at this level, especially in the construction industry.

I’m a female who had both garage door that was not working properly (springs were broken on one, faulty wiring on another). Had the springs fixed by another company, GSM. The quote for the wiring was $ 75 so i put that off… Was working okay for the first month then it was broken, again. Called that company back up and the guy told me that I needed ANOTHER garage unit for $ 545!!!
So I called up SOCAL garage and got a quick diagnosis by Evers. Apparently the last guys didnt put enough spring on the garage door. And he fixed the wiring on the other garage door … All for the price of $ 45. ¹⁄₁₀ of what i was quoted from the last company. I am a very happy with my service.
AND HE WAS PUNCTUAL! super bonus cuz i am an impatient person! THANKS evers@Socal Garage
