Find what your garage door is doing in the first column. The table shows the likely cause, which repair page to read, a typical price and how urgent it is.
| What you notice | Likely cause → service | Typical price* | How urgent |
|---|---|---|---|
| Loud bang, then the door won’t lift (or the opener strains) | Broken spring → Spring repair | $150–$350 per spring, about $250 on average | High. Don’t lift the door or keep pressing the button. |
| Door hangs crooked, or a cable is dangling | Snapped or slipped cable → Cable & off-track repair | $100–$400 | High. Keep everyone clear; the door can fall. |
| Rollers out of the track, door leaning | Door off track → Cable & off-track repair | $100–$400 (rollers $110–$230) | High. Unplug the opener; don’t force it. |
| Car stuck inside, or door stuck open at night | Spring, cable or opener failure → Emergency repair | Service call $50–$75, plus an extra evening/weekend fee | Call now. |
| Opener hums or clicks, but the door doesn’t move | Worn gear or logic board → Opener repair | $100–$500 | Medium. Check the springs before using the release cord. |
| Door reverses before it closes | Safety sensors out of line → Opener repair | $150–$250, often just a realignment | Medium. Wipe and realign the sensors first. |

| Dent or cracked panel after a bump | Panel damage → Cost guide | $250–$1,000 | Low, unless the door won’t run. |

Garage Door Opener Repair
Chain, belt, screw-drive and wall-mount openers. Sensors, remotes, keypads, logic boards and gears, or a new opener when repair doesn’t make sense.
Cable and Off-Track Repair
Snapped or loose cables, bent tracks, worn rollers and doors knocked sideways by a bumper or the wind.
Garage Door Spring Repair
Torsion and extension springs replaced and the door balanced. Most homes should replace both springs together so they wear evenly.
Emergency Garage Door Repair
Car trapped inside, door stuck open at night, or a door damaged in a storm. Tell the pro it’s urgent when you call.
Other garage door work
Also ask about tune-ups and lubrication, rollers, hinges, bottom seals and weatherstripping, panel repair, and shop doors on 2-stall and 3-stall garages. October and November are the best time for a tune-up, before the first cold snap.
