Customers call when springs break, brackets pull loose, openers fail or doors come off the rails. Chris Costa has replaced springs, lubricated systems and installed new openers on multiple jobs. Brendon and Trey have arrived the same day a door stopped working, diagnosed motors and completed fixes without extra charges. Other technicians have handled coil replacements, rail repairs and full opener swaps, often finishing within an hour or two. Reviewers note that the crews explain what failed, show maintenance steps such as monthly lubrication and leave the door working properly the same day.

Service starts with a same-day or next-day response after a call, including late requests. Technicians arrive early when possible, work quickly and keep prices reasonable on both parts and labor. They communicate arrival times, answer questions on site and provide tips for routine care. The company handles both residential and commercial properties across Abilene and the listed surrounding towns during regular business hours.

Fifteen reviews give the company a 4.8 Google rating, with most customers praising fast arrival, honest diagnoses and clean finishes on spring, opener and rail jobs. Common points include professional behavior from named technicians and fair costs that came in under expectations.

“Veterans Garage Door was very prompt and accommodating. My wife, Christy, called Monday morning July 13th to schedule an appointment and they arrived early on Tuesday late morning. Replaced both springs and lubricated the entire garage door with a premium lubricant in less than 1 hour. Our serviceman was Chris Costa and he was very good and thorough. He informed me to lubricate our garage door once monthly and showed me exactly what to lubricate. Sold me a can of their premium lubricant. Price was very reasonable and service was very good. Highly recommend.”

“5 stars all the way for Brendon and Trey! My garage door went out and I thought I'd be waiting a week. They responded the FIRST DAY I called, came out fast, and had it fixed very quickly. Super knowledgeable, professional, and honest about what needed to be done. No upselling, just fast quality work. If you need garage door repair, call these guys!”

“I’m extremely satisfied with the service I received! They responded quickly and had my garage door fixed in no time. I was running a little late picking up my child, and they were so understanding and willing to wait for me to get home, which I really appreciated. They were very efficient, explained exactly what went wrong, and walked me through why the door had broken and stopped working. It made me feel confident in the repair and the service overall. 10/10 would absolutely recommend!”

“Reached out late the night before for an estimate as our garage door was not opening all the way. We were hoping for service fairly urgently as we utilize the garage entrance often. Woke up the next morning to an email that they were sending a technician over and arrived early around 10a and diagnosed the issue. The motor on our very very old unit finally took its last breath. They were able to get a new garage opener in before 11:30a. It was quick, efficient, and prompt. Couldn’t be happier and not at all a bad price! Thanks again, yall!”

“The techs (brothers) were quick and professional. There is nothing worse than having the garage door spring break and no way to open the heavy door. Veterans was here the next day and done within an hour. The price was less than expected. Awesome job!”

“My spring broke and bracket pulled away from door. Unable to open door. Tech arrived a few hours later and quickly fixed it. Tech was very professional and answered all the questions I had. Highly recommend.”

“Came same day! Very sweet guys. And was able to get my car out until we could replace the door!”

“Main spring busted. Great experience, great company. Chris our repair tech was awesome. Highly recommend.”

“Veterans Garage Door has done two separate jobs for me, and both times they went far above and beyond what I expected. The first job was to replace the springs on my garage door. They didn’t just swap parts and leave—they took the time to thoroughly inspect the entire system and made sure everything was in tip-top shape. They identified potential issues I would have never noticed and addressed them before they became bigger problems. The second job was more of the same excellence. Once again, they discovered additional issues beyond the original concern and took care of everything with professionalism and attention to detail. Because of their thoroughness, I now have full confidence that my garage door is in the best condition possible. Honest, knowledgeable, and incredibly thorough. It’s clear they take pride in their work and truly care about doing things the right way. I highly recommend Veterans Garage Door to anyone looking for quality service they can trust.”

“Couldn’t be happier, the whole experience from the management to the installation crew was 5 Stars, highly recommended, Thank you”

“Called to get our garage door fixed after the tension spring broke. The operator was extremely friendly and got us on the books for same day service. The technicians ended up asking to come a little early (which we were totally Ok with) and got the garage door fixed quick. They also gave my wife and me tips on garage maintenance steps we can do ourselves to extend the life of our system. The entire process was easy and professionally one. Overall extremely happy with Veterans Garage Door. Great company and will most certainly use them again in the future.”

“We're in the process of moving into a new (to us) house, and I knew the garage door and opener needed some TLC. Costas (sp?) arrived, explained everything he was doing, and even offered me some pointers on routine maintenance. He was friendly, professional, and did a great job! Thanks!”

“He could not have been any easier to deal with. He explained how things were structured and the cost for each option. We agreed on the course of action and the work was done promptly and with a great personality. I enjoyed him very much. Thank you again for the prompt and excellent service.”

“Great service and reasonable prices. Will definitely use for all my garage door needs.”

“My garage door had come off the rails. I called them early Monday morning. They were here at 9 am. Two hours. Very impressive. They were very professional. And a very fair price.”

“My wife and I recently had both of our garage door openers replaced. We were scheduled at a very reasonable time. We decided to upgrade our openers to the new level and pay the difference. There was no problem with doing so. Chris Costa was the service technician that installed the new openers. Chris was very helpful and informative in explaining the operation of our new openers. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. We highly recommend Veterans Garage Doors to anyone in need.”

“Have used Veterans Garage Door for my business and homes. They are the best in town in my opinion.”

“Had great suggestions from Colt Nelson, owner of Veteran's Garage Door, which helped us pick the right style & color. Totally enhances our home and is beautiful. The smartphone features - camera/auto opener/lights - are excellent adding security to our home. Loved your crew too! Thanks for a GREAT product!”

“Same day appointment and fixed my broken coil within the hour! Freaking awesome!”

“Hi, I am a home builder and just used Veterans Garage Doors for the first time. They were very responsive and communicated when they were coming to the home and when they were finished. I’m very pleased with them and look forward to a long relationship with these folks!”
