What to expect in Montana
Torsion springs are rated in cycles, and sustained cold makes spring steel more brittle. In cold states most breaks land in the first hard freeze of the season — which is also when every local company is busiest and emergency rates apply.
Severe cold and long travel distances between service calls, which is why trip charges here often sit at the top of the national range.
Before you hire in Great Falls
Contractors register with the Department of Labor and Industry.
Ask any company for the licence or registration number and whether the trip charge is credited against the repair. Both answers should come without hesitation.
