I sent a service request through the website because I have a minor issue with (what I thought was) the trim of my garage door. I received a text asking some questions, answered, and booked an appointment for the next day and took a half-day from work to stay home for the appointment window. My appointment was canceled during the appointment window because the technician was supposedly injured. I rescheduled for the next day and took another half-day to stay home for the new appointment window. The technician arrived, but told me that the problem was with my door framing, not my trim. He then told me that he couldn't recommend anyone to repair the framing, but that he would have to charge me an $85 service fee. The website does not indicate that there is an $85 service fee, and this was never mentioned when I booked my appointment. The technician was here for 5-10 minutes total (this is at minimum a $510/hr rate just to tell me that they don't fix the thing that I needed fixed). The company did not verify that the problem was actually with the "trim" (e.g. they didn't ask for pictures or anything) when booking the service, but apparently that is my fault. The technician was supposed to e-mail me some notes, but he never did. I called the next day to ask if I could have the charge refunded because it is not disclosed on their website and was not disclosed when I booked the appointment. They told me the fee is disclosed on their website. I told them that I couldn't find it (I looked again, I still can't find it - see attached photos of their website). They responded that I was told that there was "$85 off any repair service", which corresponds to the service fee. It is true that I received a text saying that, but it did not say that there was a base $85 service fee (see attached photo). I told the person on the phone this, but they doubled down that it was my fault and I should have known that the "$85 off any repair" promotion offer meant that there was an $85 service fee. The person on the phone was adversarial, misrepresented what the technician did/told me, and eventually hung up on me because I got frustrated, cut them off, and told them I would dispute the charge with my bank. This is a very deceptive practice. If the website or text had clearly indicated that there was an $85 service fee for just showing up, then I would not be upset. However, the service charge was not clearly communicated and now I am out nearly $100 after taxes and 2 half-days at work because I confused the "framing" of my garage door with the "trim". I am not a garage door expert. That's why I called this company in the first place. Their website says "When it comes to garage door troubleshooting, we can fix it all." Apparently, "we can fix it all" does not include garage door "framing", and they'll charge you $85 (plus tax) to come to your house, tell you that, and then leave. To be clear, if they had just clearly communicated that there would be an $85 service fee, then I would not be writing this review. I don't have a problem with paying a service fee as long as I am informed up front about the cost. I have worked with other companies that have service fees, and they all disclose them clearly up front. I have worked with other companies that give free quotes and do not have service fees. Either way, this is the first time that I've been surprised by a service fee. Edit: I originally posted this as a 1-star review, but Tausha reached out to me today, apologized for the situation, and offered to refund the service fee. She was very amicable, and I appreciated the gesture. I have updated the review to a 3-star review.

Great Company, great employees that are friendly and knowledgeable and keep you up to date on job progress. Out of 5 phone calls Hicklin was the only one that wanted to help me! I live 50 miles away and was still considered a local call! "Hicklin your employees are great"

Very happy with his work on my garage door. He put in new springs as I had ordered plus new cable wheels and new hinge and a couple of other adjustments he made without any extra charge. I will definitely call back if I need their services again.

The tech, Spencer came and immediately attacked my broken main spring and popped off side cables. He did it quickly and wven had to do it while it was raining! I have Hickland now in my main numbers list for the future. It was the first time using them and tried them because they did a good job with our daughter’s door earlier this year. Will use them again for sure!

I had accidentally hit my garage door with my car. The frame had came out of the wall and looked really bad. I called and they were able to get here a couple hours later. They were so nice and kind. They explained everything perfectly. Not only did they fix the garage door, they also fixed issues with my other garage door while they were here. I truly appreciated their time and work!!

This was my first experience with Hicklin and they have earned my business. Their response time was fast. Their pricing was very competitive but most of all the tech was textbook perfect. Super professional, knowledgeable, very thorough and most of all very kind. I love doing business with small family owned companies. Hicklin checked all the boxes.

This was easy-peasy! I called and spoke with Holly about repairing my garage overhead door. American Certified Services quoted me a good price, and they were out the next day to do the repair. John did a great job! Fast, but did a complete review of the door, and he gave me a simple explanation of what and why repairs needed to be done. He completed the work, made adjustments to the door system to improve its operation. It now runs better and more quietly. I strongly recommend American Certified Services/Hicklin Garage Doors. Bryan

Was told the service fee was going to be waived with a “coupon” so they could inspect and give me a price for repair. When they got here I was told they would have to charge me over $100 just for an estimate. Tech. was quick with the installation of a new motor that I had to purchase from Lowe’s since it was way more affordable with the same quality than what they were selling.

This is a very honest and reliable business. Spencer was able to get to us 2 hours ahead of the scheduled time. He was very professional and found the problem without trying to sell us a whole new unit. I highly recommend this company!

Spencer installed a new garage door opener and exterior key pad at our home. He was professional, extremely knowledgeable and took time to explain tips for keeping the door operating smoothly. He also took time to check all the hinges and replaced 2 that were cracked. In addition to Spencer’s excellent service, I found the total cost to be very reasonable. I highly recommend this service company and will definitely use them for future needs.

Our spring broke on Sunday. I called Monday morning and was able to get scheduled for an apportionment on Tuesday. The technicians called me 10 minutes before our scheduled appointment and told me they’d be there in 10 min (right on time). They replaced the spring promptly and even reprogrammed several fobs that we had. Overall it was a great experience.
