Superior Overhead Doors shares expert advice to help Broken Arrow residents avoid garage door scams and choose trustworthy local service.
TULSA, Okla. - Californer -- Garage door scams are rising—and many homeowners don't realize they've been overcharged until it's too late. That's why Superior Overhead Doors, a trusted Broken Arrow company, is warning local residents about common scams and sharing tips to avoid them.
"We've seen families taken advantage of," said a company spokesperson. "We want to help our neighbors make smart decisions."
Here are 13 red flags to watch out for:
1. Misleading Company Names
Cheap-sounding names don't guarantee savings. Get multiple quotes. Outliers are red flags.
2. Sudden Discounts
Why offer a discount only after mentioning competitors? That's a trust issue.
3. Call Centers & Outsourcing
Ask where they're located. Some use out-of-town workers with no accountability.
4. Private Equity Chains
National brands often push upsells. Some track techs by how often they sell extras.
5. Extremely Low Fees
A $29 service call may lead to high-pressure upsells inside your home.

6. No Full Quote
Don't approve work without a full written estimate. Avoid payment pressure.
7. Too Many 5-Star Reviews
Fake reviews often have profile pics and generic praise. Look deeper.
8. Heavy Advertising
Massive marketing budgets mean higher prices passed on to you.
9. After-Hours Surcharges
If you can wait, wait. Regular hours often mean fairer pricing.
10. Lifetime Warranties with Strings
Some require annual maintenance or void if others touch the door.
11. Hiring Individuals
Uninsured contractors may cost less—but expose you to liability and risk.
12. No Shop Location
A real business should have a local office. No address is a warning sign.
13. Legal History
Search oscn.net and the Wayback Machine to verify history and lawsuits.
Conclusion
Finding the right garage door company takes more than price comparison. Look for transparency, fair service fees, local presence, and honest reviews. Avoid pressure tactics and vague pricing.
