So, here is a list of what a professional should do:

• Give you a price book which contains all the garage doors and gate opener parts in order to be able explain to the client the total cost of work.
• Bring some literature like catalogues to show the consumer what options he or she has when buying the product of the doors company.
• Be able to say what parts for the garage doors or residential electric gate openers repair he has not to sell something that he does not have at all.
• Bring many standard common parts (rollers, springs, hinges, motor operators or weather stripping) to have a possibility to repair some crucial mechanisms right away.

For instance, let’s say that your commercial garage doors at a workplace was hanging up because of a bad roller. The technician can repair this roller right on the spot. But at the same time he could also replace all the rollers and ask you to pay for the whole replacement.

• Do not force the issue. This advice is for sellers. If the consumer is not willing to accept some of your advice never press and accept “no” for an answer. A better option is to make sure that the consumer, when leaving you, will have a clear understanding of all the options and will stay confident that they paid only for what they really needed and wanted. As for the consumer’s part, it is highly advised to hear all the options and take some time for making the final decision.
• Do not accept any repairmen who are trying to force you. If a commercial garage door or residential electric gate opener installer or repairman schedules the day with very quick calls, do not trust him because it is likely that his work will be unreasonable and irresponsible. Remember that any rush in repairmen works never brings you any good.

In case your installation company or repairman fits the latter description, then both of you will benefit.
