Most consumers are unaware of the different parts available for garage doors. We have seen the range of parts used by other garage door companies and the incredible warranties promised. First thing you should be aware of is does the company you intend on using have a real local office you can visit many companies are like ghosts they appear when they want then disappear just as quickly. Your warranty depends on your ability to enforce it in a local office if need be. A warranty is only as good as the office of the company who issues it. That being said there are companies that use every sort of tactic to sell their parts. One of the best performing tactics is the LIFETIME WARRANTY.                                                        Quoting the Denver post:

It turns out Colorado law doesn’t give a precise meaning to the word “lifetime” when used in a contract, according to Attorney General John Suthers office. In fact, lifetime can mean whatever the individuals peddling the guarantee want it to mean — as long as they tell you.

“A seller is free to limit a lifetime warranty or guarantee as long as he conspicuously discloses what ‘lifetime’ means,” according to Mike Saccone, Suthers’ spokesman.

So consumers beware of IMPLIED warranties if it does not say how many months or years it is completely to the companies discretion. Even if they honor their implied warranty you still may be on the hook for labor costs and if those are not defined in the warranty it still may cost close to or up to the original cost of repair.                                                             My suggestion use a company with a local office, with local history our since 1972, and dont believe everything you are told please do research and Know Aurora Door Service is always here to help.
