Austin Gate Doctors came highly recommended from a contractor and they didn't disappoint. We'd been struggling with a broken gate motor for months and in exactly one day this crew took out the old motor and installed a brand new unit. Mike (sales) and Emily (operations) were a pleasure to work with and Chris (on-site lead) knew exactly what he was doing. I couldn't recommend these folks enough. They're experts at what they do.

Great work! Made sure everything was done to our satisfaction and made sure we knew how to operate the system and stayed until it was all perfect. They cleaned up the site and the system now is state of the art technology. Highly recommended if you need to install a new system or do an upgrade replacement. They are the pros.

I had an outstanding experience working with the team at Gate Doctors. We moved into a new home in April. I have a "L" shaped driveway that many service trucks liked to use as a turn around on our narrow street. In order to keep our kids save in the driveway, we worked with the team to design two custom gates. We must have had 20 revisions on the designs and Mike was patient, response, and giving good ideas based on our needs. Once we had the design finalized, the installation was great. They had an entire team out here over many days, ensuring everything was just right. Throughout the install

Excellent service. I called yesterday. Emily answered promptly, confirmed my issue, checked the calendar and mapped our location to determine the service could be done today at noon. Emily sent a text today to confirm David would arrive on time 10 minutes before his arrival. David called with his diagnosis and a reasonable quote, with my approval David completed the repair. I asked if David could quote getting us new remotes, he did so while we were on the phone and he had the new remotes on his rig. I received the invoice before David finished. David followed up with a job finished text. What

After Emily scheduled the appointment. David was on time and incredibly helpful. Gate Doctors was the third company I called and the only one that responded. David took the equipment I had purchased and made it work. He got with the homeowner and explained features of the new keypad. It was an overall wonderful experience. Will absolutely use them in the future.
