Garage Door Opener Repair
Opener problems are often mistaken for door problems. Before replacing a unit we test the door balance, the safety eyes, the travel limits, the logic board and the drive gear — because a simple sensor realignment fixes a surprising number of 'dead' openers.
When a unit truly is finished, we'll tell you honestly and quote a replacement instead of charging for a repair that won't hold.
Signs you need opener repair
- Motor runs but the door doesn't move (stripped gear)
- Door reverses immediately after touching the floor
- Blinking LED on the motor head or sensor
- Remote works only from a few feet away
- Keypad stopped accepting the code
How the job goes
- 1
Test the door first
We disconnect the opener and lift by hand. An unbalanced door destroys openers.
- 2
Diagnose the drive system
Chain, belt or screw drive — gears, sprockets and couplers all wear differently.
- 3
Check electronics
Logic board, capacitor, safety eyes, wall console and RF learning are tested in sequence.
- 4
Repair or recommend
You get the repair quote and the replacement quote side by side, then you choose.

Free service call — opener repairs are quoted flat after diagnosis.

Opener Repair FAQs
- Is it worth repairing a 15-year-old opener?
- Often not. Units older than about 12 years lack rolling-code security and modern safety features; we'll show you the math.
- Do you program remotes and keypads?
- Yes, including MyQ, HomeLink and universal remotes.
- Why does my door reverse for no reason?
- Usually misaligned or dirty safety sensors, or a force setting that drifted. Both are quick fixes.
