Warning for seniors and homeowners:An 85-year-old Massachusetts homeowner was charged $4,800 by Lightning Garage Door for replacement of a garage door opener and torsion springs. She was presented with only three high-priced options and was not given any written estimate, contract, or invoice.The technician initially said cash was preferred, checks were not accepted, and offered to accompany her to an ATM to withdraw cash. A digital payment link was later sent, and payment was made by check.After the service, multiple licensed garage door companies confirmed that fair market pricing for this work is typically under $1,500. The garage door still does not fully open.Tip for consumers: Always get multiple written estimates, avoid paying large amounts in cash, and verify pricing with licensed contractors before approving work.
