What are garage door motor repair?
Garage door motor repair is diagnosing and fixing an electric operator that has stopped working properly, whether it hums without moving, reverses for no reason, stops short of its limits or ignores the remote. Faults range from misaligned safety beams and lost limit settings to failed logic boards and worn drive gears.

Questions about garage door motor repair
Why does my garage door open then reverse?
Usually misaligned safety beams, an obstruction, or force settings that need adjusting as the door has aged.
Can you repair any brand of motor?
We work on most common operators. If parts for an older model are discontinued, we'll quote for a replacement.
Is the fault the motor or the door?
A stiff or unbalanced door often looks like a motor fault. The engineer checks the door by hand first.
