Report
On Christmas the garage door cable broke. As my father was entering the hospital this posed a problem for my mother. I called and left a message and on Monday morning Patrick called and said he would make it his first stop. Patrick showed up when he said he would and promptly took care of the issue. Great service and even better people.

On November 18, 2021 around 3:30 PM on W Ingomar Rd a driver for this company almost hit two elementary children getting off the bus. The driver did not slow down even when the red lights were on and no passing bar was out. The bus driver and parent tried flagging the person down the driver shrugged and continued on almost hitting the parent. The parent and bystanders took pictures of the vehicle. The North Allegheny School District, and McCandles Police has been notified.

Justin came to work on my garage door. He was very professional. he explained everything he was doing as well as telling me the causes and affects on different things and why they happen to the garage doors. Give him a raise!! 😀 I will recommend Thomas V. Giel to anyone needing work done. We have been using them for many many years. My Dad would call for service when I was a kid. Dave
