Good (not great) and expensive response to a repair request
After having reached JP (the service manager) by phone to explain the issue with my door I also emailed some pictures and explained that my automatic door opener trolley assembly was also damaged and needed replacing. After a few scheduling conflicts a Dodds technician managed to come over and fix the cause of my door opening problem (physical door issue) with but did not bring a new trolley assembly (so I still couldn't really use my door opener although I could still manually open my door). The technician eventually came back for a 2nd visit and replaced the trolley assembly. The technician spent a total of about 1 hour (max) over these 2 visits yet I was charged for 2 hours of service time. I was also charged what appeared to be 5-10x the retail cost of the trolley assembly. When I asked for these charges to be reconsidered all I got was dead air. This unfortunate service experience was a major consideration for me NOT to use Dodds when I shopped for (and acquired) an new garage door.
