Automatic Garage Door Corporation Comparative Summary

Mark Griffin has been in the garage door industry for more than 30 years. His company, Automatic Garage Door, repairs and installs residential garage doors and commercial rolling steel doors for homes and businesses in the Bay Area.

The company completes all jobs in a single day—“installed, double checked and triple checked,” according to Mr. Griffin. All jobs result in a “delighted” client, he says, and problems are rare and immediately remedied.

You can count on Automatic Garage Door to perform timely warranty work along with new installations, Mr. Griffin says. Should warranty issues arise, he handles them quickly and personally.

A long-time resident of the Bay Area, Mr. Griffin’s extensive knowledge of San Francisco’s neighborhoods equips him to understand the special needs of his customers. His company’s work ethic is built on the basic principles of common courtesy: show up on time or call if you’re running late; keep trucks and equipment clean and organized; exercise the same commitment to quality and meticulous care that you would if installing your own garage door.

The overwhelming majority of calls handled by the company (90 percent) result in repairs rather than replacements. The only doors the company can’t service are those deemed unsafe: doors lacking sensors to reverse their direction when they encounter a blockage, and one-piece doors with dangerous side-springs. Under those circumstances, Mr. Griffin will recommend the homeowner install a new door as quickly as possible.

Automatic Garage Door has a complete showroom where you can view many styles and brands. Its two full-time secretaries are fluent in English, Spanish, Mandarin and Cantonese.
