GREAT VIDEO! Very informative!

[@GarageDoorTrainingSchool]

Thanks Patrick, glad it helped! 👍

[@dorian_vlogs]

How long is the course?

[@rakib8244]

Where is your institution? Is it possible to get the course in person?

[@crimestoppers1877]

I noticed that some of the self-penetrating lag screws with HEX heads have the letter A or letter H stamped on them ( CHI hardware). What do these letters mean? Are these screws interchangeable? Do I need a contractors license to do residential type garage door repair in California? How many months should my work guaranty cover?

[@moleniumcondor]

Maybe just a stamp of the company doing it? I know linear has 3 lines on their lags…I always thought it was just basically a stamp

[@godalmightyismysavior197]

I’m super interested only issue I’m in hawaii

[@GarageDoorTrainingSchool]

If there are garage doors there, there is most likely room for garage door businesses. Companies cannot keep up with demand for the amount for garage doors there are in one city, so there’s is always room for new technicians in most cases.

I'm from Australia, I'm going to do this trade, what kind of vehicle to do the job

[@GarageDoorTrainingSchool]

As mentioned in the video, a truck or van is best and most convenient vehicle for garage doors.

[@moleniumcondor]

Great info. Ive been a tech for 3 years and want to start my own business in a few years out here in California. I currently make about 70k a year doing it for a nationwide franchise and love it. What would you say is the average people make the first few years?

[@DudeEggs]

I do installs only and contract from a few distributors who also provide me work. I make six figures and do as much or as little as I want.

[@Palpatine-o2j]

​@DudeEggs do you need a helper to install them or can you do them alone?

[@robd9026]

Is your certification accredited, and is the certification recognized by any manufacturers or home warranty providers? Does your training cover common parts to keep on your truck? Thanks.

[@DudeEggs]

You might keep a few common parts, but, mostly you'll have a list of stops for the day and will acquire those parts before leaving the warehouse.

[@selfreder6283]

He didnt answer so i think thats a NO.

[@dapainter]

Hi friend, how many permits do I need to run a business like this?

[@GarageDoorTrainingSchool]

This can differ by the state, it's best to check with the city you plan on doing business.

[@reginaldrussell2114]

Do you charge for diagnosis?

[@GarageDoorTrainingSchool]

There’s not usually a charge for just diagnosing. Usually you can diagnose the issue over the phone or at least have a ballpark idea, before you get to the job. Most of the time, the customer will want it fixed at the time of diagnosis, so they’d pay for just the repair not the diagnosis 👍

[@DudeEggs]

I just trained for a month and was sent off to do it on my own. I make six figures and contract out of a few distributors.

[@tjelder8791]

Your videos are awesome. This is definitely what I'm going to do. I already have a truck, and have the business registered with the state. But having a wife and children I am having trouble saving up to pay for your course. Do you offer a payment plan for your school?

[@GarageDoorTrainingSchool]

We offer a delayed payment plan which is 799 for the first payment and that will allow you to sign on and do half the course. In 30 days we will charge the balance of 700 which is the final payment and then release the 2nd half of the course to you at that time. I hope this helps. Thanks

[@MachineIf]

Hope you go through with it. Changed my life for sure.

[@LiberteEgaliteFraternite1]

@@MachineIfhey Caleb! Do you think I could ask you a few questions about your experience! Been waiting to get into this trade for awhile now

[@kevinarciba6714]

@@MachineIfHey man just starting to look into this now.Did you buy his course? If so how has it gone for you?

[@MachineIf]

@@kevinarciba6714 I actually did not use this course, but maybe I can offer some advice as I jumped into this field with no experience whatsoever. The best thing to do is to find someone that will let you work for/alongside them. It’s probably the hardest step to take and will take a little digging. I worked for a gentleman for $700/wk for 3 months, and went off on my own and now make $150k+ for 2 years in a row installing as an independent contractor. I personally wouldn’t buy the course, but would call local garage door companies and ask if they would be willing to train you. You’ll learn the same things in a shorter amount of time, and most likely get paid to do so.

[@jeremydavis8472]

I like your video. I am interested in the online training. How much to take the full course.

[@GarageDoorTrainingSchool]

$1499. You’ll get unlimited access to the course, a direct phone number to the instructor if you need extra help with anything, and more. You also get lifetime access to the course for a one-time payment

[@vaxyyfn4528]

what apps are the best to advertise your garage door business?

[@tashamcclain9865]

I have some questions to ask u can u help me an my husband with some advertising? we don't have the funds but he knows how the work.

[@milkthenmeat]

Is this a good opportunity for women?

[@GarageDoorTrainingSchool]

Yes we have a lot of woman signing up now.

[@milkthenmeat]

@@GarageDoorTrainingSchool Oh, great! Thank you! I saw some opportunities and I was hesitant due to the lack of female representation on KZbin.

[@edwardo-qe5xe]

Do you have a hands-on course ? Thanks

[@ignaciosanchez5972]

I hope the schooling instruction is correct.

[@roscoesmith4198]

I like what I see as for your training, but what you want to charge for a beginner’s tool bag is disgraceful! It changed my whole opinion of you. I wouldn’t trust you!

[@GarageDoorTrainingSchool]

We don’t offer a tool bag for sale, I’m not sure what you’re referring to
