Why Buy From Us

Why Buy From Us

You've got
options.
Here's ours.

A garage lift is not a $30 impulse buy. You are trusting a stranger on the internet with thousands of dollars and a freight truck showing up at your house. So here is exactly what you get when you buy from Open Door Garage — no vague promises, just what we actually do.

100
Days to return it
3
Business days to ship in-stock orders
$0
To have us find you an installer

Call to reach a real human

What we
actually promise.

Every one of these is a policy you can hold us to, not a slogan. Each links to the full terms.

We'll beat a legit price

Find the same product cheaper at a real retailer with it in stock, send us the link, and we'll match or beat it. We compare the total including shipping and tax, so nobody wins by hiding freight in the checkout. See the Price Beat Promise

Free shipping on most orders

Standard shipping is free to the contiguous USA on most of what we sell. Some heavy freight items are not free — and when that is the case you will see the cost before you check out, never after. How our shipping works

100 days to change your mind

Most retailers give you 30. We give you 100, because building out a garage takes longer than a month. If an item arrives damaged or we sent the wrong thing, we cover the return shipping too. Read the returns policy

Cancel before it ships, pay nothing

Changed your mind the same week you ordered? If it has not left the warehouse, tell us and we cancel it with a full refund. No restocking fee, no return freight, no argument.

Real people, before and after

Call or text 888-919-2034 and you get someone who knows the products. That does not stop when the order ships — if you have a question two years from now about a lift you bought from us, call us.

A discount for service members

Military, first responders and government employees get a discount at checkout. Verify once through GovX ID and it unlocks instantly — no paperwork emailed back and forth. Check your eligibility

The part most sites leave you to solve

We'll find someone
to install it.

Buying the lift is the easy half. Getting a 2,000-pound piece of equipment off a freight truck, anchored into your slab and safely commissioned is the half that keeps people from ordering at all.

So we connect you with our network of certified, reputable third-party installers — at no extra cost to you. We source installers in your area, help you compare their quotes, and stay with you through the process. Our job is not finished when the box arrives. It is finished when you are using the thing.

What happens
after you order.

The gap between clicking checkout and a truck arriving is where most online buying anxiety lives. Here is the whole sequence.

01

Confirmed

You get an order confirmation straight away. Your card is pre-authorised, not charged.

02

Stock checked

We verify the item is actually available. If it is back-ordered we void the authorisation and reach out before taking a cent.

03

Shipped

In-stock orders leave the warehouse within three business days of your order.

04

Tracked

Shipping confirmation lands in your inbox within 24 hours of it leaving. Nothing heard in four business days? Email us and we'll chase it.

Brands we'd put
in our own garage.

We do not carry everything. We carry the manufacturers we are willing to stand behind when something goes wrong — which is the only test that matters.

I started this because I owned every tool I wanted and couldn't find any of them.

Open Door Garage was founded by Andrew Dincola, out of Lakewood, Colorado. The origin story is not glamorous: a garage so cluttered that starting a project felt like too much effort, and tools buried somewhere in it that he had paid good money for.

That is the whole reason this shop exists — not to move boxes, but to help people turn the most neglected room in the house into the one they are proud to open. We are not a faceless catalogue reselling whatever has the best margin. When you call, you are talking to the people whose name is on the door.

Still deciding?
Just ask.

Tell us the vehicle, the ceiling height, the slab, the budget — whatever the sticking point is. We would rather talk you into the right product than sell you the wrong one and handle the return.
