    Broken Cable and Roller

    Posted 2 days ago

    The Garage Door Man was puntual and very polite. He quickly saw the problem with one broken cable. However whilst replacing both cables he saw a futher defect - a broken roller, which he replaced at no further cost. The Garage Door Man is highly recommended
