HeroTec started in 2019 when founder Avichay Bokobza went out with a Ford F-150 and a welding kit. The company publishes a timeline from there: the 500th repair in 2021, a Smart-Gate Division launched in 2023, and a fleet expansion into Thousand Oaks and Rancho Cucamonga in 2024. It has since serviced more than 1,000 gates and garage doors across Southern California and still describes itself as family-run.

The work splits into two halves that share a lot of underlying mechanics. Garage doors: installation, repair, replacement, maintenance and emergency callouts. Gates: smart gate automation, electric gate repair and automatic gate maintenance. The gate automation side is where the certifications matter — the company is factory-certified by LiftMaster, DoorKing and Viking, and cites compliance with UL 325 and ASTM F2200, the entrapment-protection and construction standards that govern powered gates. Those two standards are the reason a properly installed automatic gate reverses instead of closing on a vehicle or a child.

Credentials are published rather than implied: California CSLB License #1098568, and stated liability coverage of $1M/$2M. Every repair and installation carries a 12-month parts-and-labor workmanship warranty.

On response and pricing, HeroTec dispatches locally seven days a week and puts typical arrival at around 60 minutes, with stocked trucks intended to resolve most faults on the first visit. Most repairs are quoted in the $80 to $700 range depending on the fault and parts, with a flat-rate quote given before work begins and no weekend or after-hours premium. Financing with 0% fees is offered.

Two contact addresses are published, both listed as open 24 hours: 21050 Kittridge St #656 in Canoga Park (747-777-4667) and 2801 Ocean Park Blvd in Santa Monica (310-526-0121).

One discrepancy for anyone using this record: the directory lists a Pasadena location and the number 626-376-9660, but that number appears only in the site’s page titles, and the company’s own contact page shows the Canoga Park and Santa Monica addresses with different numbers. Pasadena is served, but it does not appear to be a staffed address.
