Default Garage Door Work question

What makes you so sure that you were ripped off, in the first

I'm not sure. That's the reason why I posted a price breakdown. I
would like to get feedback from others about whether or not they
think I was.


Service Call $48
Gear Kit $68
Set 218 tor spr $178
set 1000cc tor dru $48
1 c bearing $18
1 set 10 neo rollers $118
Lifetime warranty parts and labor

For Florida, the service call price seems reasonable, as does the
installed price of most of the other items. As you suspected, the
'roller set' price seems a tad high - but then their pricing may be set
as 'flat rate' instead of T&M, in which case it may not be too far out
of line with the averages. The material isn't all that expensive, and
replacing 10 rollers ought to take about an hour or so on a typical
garage door. How long did it take them?

I guess the 'do you price flat rate' or 'do you price time and
materials' question is one thing to ask about in the future. But be
careful, sometimes you win this one, sometimes you lose.
