We have had the noisiest garage door since moving into our house three and a half years ago. Loud, squeaky, shaky.
Finally decided to have someone come out to check it and ADS was highly reccomended so I made a call and Justin came out the next day within the two hour window with a phone call alerting me he was thirty minutes away. He replaced the old opener with a new LiftMaster and adjusted a few things. As quiet as a mouse ! We can also open and
Close the garage door from an app
I was so impressed with the service that I now considering having them put in a new door !

Superior rating for James with ADS Automatic Door Specialists. He solved my problem with ease. One of my garage door operators was having issues and not functioning properly. I first reached out to my original installer from 2011, who attempted to upcharge me for a fully warrantied replacement operator. I contacted a second garage door company informing them of my problem and additionally requested to have all three of my doors serviced. Their tech attempted to install a part in my disabled operator, but his installation failed. He said he could install a new operator but only pending my purchase of new springs for that specific door. He said if I wanted my other two doors serviced, I would need to purchase new springs for each of those doors too before he would touch them. Dissatisfied with his failed repair and insistence that I shell out nearly $3,000 for installation of the replacement operator plus service on all three doors including new springs, I found and reached out to ADS.
In my opinion, James is the best tech in town. He came out promptly and did a thorough evaluation. He happily serviced all three doors, adjusted the springs, and correctly reinstalled the troubled operator's new part. Although that part enabled the operator to regain power it could no longer detect the door's stopping points. A brand-new replacement operator was sent to ADS, and James followed through to perform the install. His pricing was fair and reasonable for a job well done. I highly recommend James for any garage door needs. He is extremely skilled, very professional, honest, and performs his job in a timely manner with the utmost pride. ADS is fortunate to have James on board, and as a result, I will use them for all my future garage door service and repair needs.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Michael R.San Diego, CA262Mar 11, 2024

ADS has consistently provided exceptional service, even outside of contracted appointments. They've been our garage door "go to" company for several years.. but a spring snapped the weekend we were about to leave town and we had to have another company come out to replace it. I questioned the bowing of the new springs but the guy said it was normal. Coincidentally, 2 weeks later, my neighbor had hired James from ADS to replace his motor (on my recommendation) and I took the opportunity to tell him how bummed I was that we used another company. He took a glance at our new springs and instantly noticed they used the wrong clips, causing them to bend and bounce. We did get that other company to come out and rectify their mistake, thanks to James. I figured instead of writing a crappy review about them, I'd write a glowing one for James and ADS. (note: I completely understand needing to set parameters and biz hours! However, if ADS had some sort of a weekend option... hint hint.. that would be awesome. Either way, they still get 5 Stars in my book)

Jen, Thank you for your referral and your continued support. We are glad you were able to get your garage door repair corrected and are sorry we weren’t open when your garage door broke. They always seem to act up at the most inconvenient times. We have actually been looking at adding a weekend option and plan to do so before the end of 2024. We just want to make sure we can maintain our standards and not overburden our team members before we add the additional hours. Like our customers our team members are important to us.

Jorge was very professional and explained everything to us. We are now in a comfort zone of a new motor and openers. Nothing worse than trying to get in or out of your garage and you can't! Recommend ADS Automatic Door Specialists to get the job done in a timely manner.

Jim Myers installed two new garage door springs and was one of the best employees I have ever dealt with in my entire life. I telephoned ADS the first day after Christmas. I told the person who answered the phone of my problem at appropriate 8:30 am on Dec. 26th. He responded that a person would be at my house between 10am and noon. I received a text message at about 10:20am with the name of the person and some history of his background. He quoted the price and I agreed. I also told him that ADS had 20 years earlier had installed the existing doors. Who would not have called ADS for a garage door that was in need of new springs only once every 20 years. The company and the employees are unbelievable courtesy and friendly and competent .One of a kind.Thanks Edmund Hill

Heavy large wooden garage doors needed servicing since they didn't aways close using automatic door opener. Jorge arrived the next day to inspect and replaced extremely worn rollers, tuned up the system and reset the door opener. Price was reasonable. Very pleased. Will definitely use ADS again.
