AFTER · what the skill produced

Hi Eileen,

Thank you for calling Hartview Garage Doors. Here is a plain breakdown of your quote for 4090 Gableview St, Bluehollow, so you can see what each part of the price covers.

What happened
The left torsion spring on your two-car door broke. That was the bang you heard. Those springs do the heavy lifting, so without them the door is very heavy and cannot be lifted safely by hand or by the opener.

What each line covers

Spring replacement, 2 springs at $185 each = $370. Each price includes the new spring and the labor to install it. Our technician, Emmett Diallo, found your right spring is the same age and looks worn, so we recommend replacing both. The left one is the one that broke, and the right one is showing wear.
Rollers, 2 at $12 each = $24. Two of the ten rollers on your door have cracked nylon, and we recommend replacing them.
Service call, $49. This is waived because you are going ahead with the work, so you pay $0.00 for it.

Safety concern, recommended now

Both torsion springs. The left is broken and the right looks worn. Spring work should only be done by a trained technician, never as a do-it-yourself job.

Also recommended

Two cracked rollers, as listed above.

Your total
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Spring replacement, 2 at $185 | $370 |
| Rollers, 2 at $12 | $24 |
| Service call (waived) | $0 |
| Total | $394 |

Your springs come with a 2 year parts and labor warranty, and we can do the work the same day. Your cables and center bearing checked out fine, and the door balanced correctly once the new springs were on.

You are welcome to approve all of it, part of it, or none of it. If you have questions, call us at 336-555-0152.

Questions for the owner

Technician Emmett Diallo also found a torn bottom rubber seal. It is $38 installed, but you did not put it in the quote. Do you want it added as a recommended item, or left off unless the customer asks?
