newbie here: saw this fb post about garage door services in texas and got quoted $650 for opener install, worth it?

im a total newbie just starting out in garage doors and stumbled on this post in the garage door installers facebook group about local repair and install services. they mentioned chi doors and liftmaster openers for standard jobs. got a quote for $650 to install a basic opener on my buddy's house here in the dallas-fort worth area, but im wondering if thats a fair price or if i can do it cheaper myself.

$650 sounds about right for dallas, includes the labor and any tweaks to the tracks.

screw these fb groups pushing high prices, theyre all in on ripping off newbies like op. collective rage against these service hustlers.

felt that, my first install i underquoted and ate the cost on parts.

hit $500k last year specializing in commercial openers, stick with it kid.

check the alignment first, liftmaster manuals have good diagrams for that.

i overpaid $800 once for a similar job, never again.

those chi doors are solid, but get the insulated ones for texas heat.

winding springs without safety cable? recipe for disaster.

frustrated with these cheap import openers breaking every season.

ugh, last job the track was bent from hail, added two hours.

homeowners always want it done yesterday, no patience for codes.

use clopay panels, they hold up better in humid spots.

hate when the remote sync fails mid-job, wastes time.

my opener crapped out during a storm, stranded my truck.

customer called at midnight cuz the door wouldnt budge, hilarious fail.

same here, been there with frozen tracks in winter.

big box stores charge double for the same liftmaster, fight me on it.

warning: never skip the safety reverse test, saw a finger get pinched bad.

laughed when a diy guy tried torsion springs, ended up in er.

humor in these jobs keeps me sane, like doors that 'auto-open' for raccoons.

back killing me from hauling panels all day.

yeah, knees are shot from years of crouching under doors.

proud of my setup, hit 100 installs this quarter smooth.

totally get the newbie jitters, it gets easier.

client ghosted after i fixed their bent rail, pissed.

warning, always disconnect power before messing with wiring.

these lead gen sites are predatory, flooding us with crap calls.

yeah, angi leads are the worst, total scam for garage guys.

for $650, make sure they balance the springs right.

private equity buying up door companies, gonna ruin the trade.
