Bruh fr fr this job is easy $ and everybody has garage doors

Damn it's that dangerous? Do you think you can go out and do it after this online course?

As long as the online course teaches the proper safety then yes. Such as when you wind your springs you never wind your springs in front of you you always want to wind them from the side so if you accidentally let go of the bar the bar will not impale you. Or come down in bludgeon you. You only have to whine those springs two full turns in order for it to have enough tension to break a bone. Make sure to only wind 1/4 turn at a time and as you wind let the torsion bar rest against the strut on the door while you position the second torsion bar in the spring and winde it up a quarter turn then rest the torsion bar on the strut and repeat the process until the spring is fully wound

@@derrickkeppler613 ok thanks for the feedback

@@derrickkeppler613 you sound like you speak from experience!

Thanks, Patrick! Sounds great, let us know if you have any questions!

I do have one question. What's the average amount for a service call fee? Or are there service call fees in garage door repair?

Hi Nick. Is the service call separate or is it included in the price?

@@patrickyoung7685 Hey Patrick! The service price is usually separate from the parts price. You can see the price breakdown on the receipt in the video. Hope this helps!

@@GarageDoorTrainingSchool Thanks! I was thinking that was the case. Really appreciate you taking the time to answer me back.

Thanks, Kevin! That’s great to hear 👍

@@GarageDoorTrainingSchool you very welcome 😎 also watch this video I made kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l8V1i7mpzNWYZJs.html

They do not but we do cover this in the course 👍

Each spring is probably around 80 bucks resale so that's 160 for 2 and then probably about 150 for labor. Give the customer a lil discount and get it right under the high number being 310 to 299 and you just saved your customer money, made them happy and made bank. When you have an llc or a you are a sole proprietor you can keep plate berrings and hinges and rollers on your truck too and make an extra 200 while your there if the customer is interested.

@@derrickkeppler613 Hey Derrick! Thanks for your comments and tips. By the way, how do you find your clients? I was thinking yard signs because Yelp, Nextdoor and Thumbtack don't really work at the start. Because you don't have reviews yet. Thanks in advance!

We currently only teach torsion spring installations for Roll-Up Residential doors, where the springs are above the door. The side springs you're referring to are outdated and a lot more dangerous to work with. We may have a video in the future on how to replace these. But, for now, we just have what's most commonly used.

@@GarageDoorTrainingSchool oh ok I have side springs and one is broke can I change this system to torsion setup and is the 500 dollars off still in effect thanks

@@lbsr3614 Yes, side springs can be changed to the standard springs that go above the door. We have a lesson on installing these overhead springs, so you would definitely be able to install a new spring system. But I just want to be clear, we do not cover the side springs that you currently have. As for the $500 off, we currently are not offering it right now. Our prices are actually set to increase in the near future. What I can offer you now, however, is another promotional discount of $250 off. Let me know if you're interested!

Those are called extension springs and they suck. lol. You will also have 3' pulleys, cables, and bottom brackets. Please for the love of god do not attempt to do any spring work by yourself at home without basic knowledge of where and how things operate. Although these jobs are easy when you know what you are doing they are still very dangerous and you can seriously injure yourself or someone around you.

That is exactly true. Most garage door companies won’t train you because they know that you will quit and start your own business and take away their jobs. Most will only train relatives or close friends. As far as the videos we have had all good reviews and many have let us know that they are doing well in their own business.

do u need experience?

Hey Patrick! Once you're in the course, we have a list of suppliers for garage doors and garage door parts. A starting budget would be anywhere from $100-$200, depending on which parts you get. With this budget, you can keep a couple of pairs of torsion springs, cables, and a few universal remotes to have with you at all times (These are the most used and replaced parts). The rest of the parts you can acquire on an as-needed basis.

Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions Nick! Really Appreciate it!

@@patrickyoung7685 No problem!

Hi Nick! How do I know what size of spring to take with me on the job? As far as I know if it’s too big, it will be pulling the door too hard. And the other way around. Thank you!

@@GarageDoorTrainingSchool also, do you have a guide on the sizes / type of door? I couldn’t find any information on the course itself.

Make sure if the company trains you, they doesn’t require you to sign non-compete clause. This is a contract that locks you into working with ONLY them for a period of time. If this is the case, our course will teach you everything you need to know, without being locked into any one company.

@Garage Door Training School actually there is a non-compete clause I have to sign. Does this mean I can't work for anyone ever? Or only until I leave the company?

Of course, Ron, it's rounded up.

@@GarageDoorTrainingSchool$300 in revenue. Not let's add up the cost of materials, fuel, travel time, insurance, taxes, depreciation and more and now how much did we make?

@@RonNelsen $20/spring, 10 minutes of labor, 15-20 minutes of travel time. 4-5 jobs per day. You can do the math. This line of work may not be for you. Have a great day, Ron.

@@RonNelsen On the invoice, it said labor charge was $40. So taking some of the things you mention as costs a rough guess would be $20 per hour clear, less whatever taxes must be paid.

@@tommak6516 2 springs here is 700 installed. $300 is a steal. They want 300 for labor and 200 each spring! Maybe he needs to raise prices.

That’s all for show what the customer sees. If it took 15 minutes and you times it by 4 it equals an hour of work time. He netted 250 dollars on it and if you times that by 4 it equals a thousand dollars. He does charge way too low as well. His price for that according to our price sheet should be 789.00. You can do the math on that number. Doesn’t matter what we put on the receipt to the customer. Do you really think if he was as charging only 40 dollars labor that would mean the springs would cost 260.00. Is that what you believe?

@@bigal4587 I expected that the receipt didn’t give the real numbers, but I was hoping that he’d give the breakdown of the actual numbers as a response to my comment since he didn’t in the video
