History of the River Fox Train

Originally built in 1911 by the Northern Electric Company, the River Fox Train’s railway was initially used for passenger travel between Sacramento and Woodland. By 1941, diesel freight operations took over, reducing passenger services. However, in 2003, the Sierra Railroad Company merged with the Yolo Short Line Railroad, reviving passenger excursions under the Sacramento River Train brand. Today, as the River Fox Train, it offers a variety of themed journeys, bringing history back to life for travelers of all ages. Click here to read about the Old Sugar Mill, Sacramento, CA

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My door stopped working randomly due to a frayed wire. Dan was able to come over and fix the situation almost immediately and threw in a quick maintenance of the hinges and springs. Would recommend and use again.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dan’s Garage Doors cannot be beat for professionalism, price and fast courteous service. When I messaged about an estimate for repair Dan did not try to upsell. He offered 3 options that I could choose from, instead of dismissing me and assuming I’m buying a new door and motor.  Dans prices cannot be beat. Javier arrived on schedule to complete the repair. He was kind, knowledgeable and a pleasure to deal with. I highly highly recommend Dan’s Garage Doors, I messaged seven other garage door service and repair persons and all were trying to replace my door and opener which wasn’t necessary.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I wanted to share my experience when I used Dan’s Garage Doors by posting this 5 star review.
First of all Dan was very professional from our first interaction. When we set up the appointment to come out to my home and do the service it was for 7:00 on a Saturday and he was here at 6:45.
I could not have been more happy with the price, service and professionalism I received from Dan.
I highly recommend Dan’s Garage Doors for your garage door needs!!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The spring snapped on my garage door and I couldn’t get my cars out. I called Dan and he gave me a price over the phone which I thought was very fair. He showed up on a Sunday and finished the job quickly. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing a garage door repair.
