NEVER USE PLANO SPRING KING at 1529 Jasmine Lane, Plano TX 75074

HORRIBLE BUSINESS COMMUNICATION

Come home from the grocery store and the garage door will not go up!  GREAT!  another house expense that was not in the budget. 

Anyhow, poor husband comes home and sees the problem and it's beyond his repair.  We call a company that we find and explain our problem.  The lady asked, how many springs are on your garage door, we said 1, with a metal door.  She quoted a price of $109-$149 for the job, never saying that is the price per spring, just that that would be the price to expect. 

The man shows up in our yard with TWO springs (now that we know what they were) in hand and other parts.  He goes in the garage and of course fixes it and also says, you need new rollers and goes on to put those on too.  After done, he hands my husband the bill.  IT WAS $278!! 

So, long story short, they are a horrible company and LIE!  That is what you get when you trust someone.  Then the man kept repeating, $109-149 per spring when I asked him about the price variance...which is fine, we told her that and we only had 1 spring and that is what we wanted.  He said he put 2 on (without asking) and we assumed those were the tools quoted in the price, we thought that was 1 spring and parts, plus just adding on the rollers like it was part of the job.  I questioned him and told him she never stated a per spring price and of course he said, yes, she did, I was right there. BUT SHE DID NOT, once we said we had one spring, she said the price of $109-149.  We did not ask for extra springs nor were we asked if we wanted them.  It was fine with one and that is what we wanted. 

Anyhow, I have a call into the lady to discuss the miscommunication.  I'll pay the price, now it is more the principal and how taken advantage of I feel.  Please, NO ONE use this business and be careful when you trust someone, there are few to be trusted these days!  The company name is Plano Spring King.

A miscommunication is just what is says... A Miscommunication.... You yourself admit you are calling to discuss with the owner.

I personally have experienced great service from PLANO SPRING KING and would recommend them highly to anyone.

I was there too, and it did truly seem like bait and switch behavior. I have dealt with several shady mechanics before, and was able to head off their nonsense before it got to the "now pay me" part.

The problem with this situation, was we just didn't have a clue what was needed to fix the door. We just knew it was in need of repair and the quote for the job sounded fair.

Caveat Emptor strikes again I guess. I think this blog entry should stand as a warning to anybody thinking of using Plano Spring King. Know FOR SURE what you are buying before you ever let Plano Spring King start working on your garage door.

In blogging, I have learned that you must give credit where credit is due. Spring King has sent us a refund for $50 and a life time warranty on their work due to the issues described above. Lesson learned, sometimes speaking up and questioning the issue does help the consumer as long as it is handled in a professional manner and all facts are stated.

If Plano Spring King made it right with you then remove negative posting. They have been in business since 1984 and have serviced our door needs throughout the years. Never has there been a problem. WE LOVE THEM!!!!!!

About 10 years ago my spring broke and there is a spring on each side of the center of the door.
I have installed them before myself.
Now a lot of companies will not just sell you the
springs to install youself.
Plano Spring King would sell it to me and I could
install it myself but would not be responsible
if i was hurt.
Price for spring only was about $150.00
and the same price if they installed it.
So I said come and install it.
They came and installed it the same day and
it is still working.
