What affects the price

Figuring out what a garage door repair will run depends on a few specific variables. The main factor is whether the issue is mechanical—like a broken spring, frayed cable, or a faulty motor—or if the door panels themselves are damaged. Parts quality and the size or weight of your door also play a role in the total. We don't guess over the internet; a technician assesses your specific setup to provide an exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

About this service

Your garage door sensors act as a safety beam across the bottom of the opening. If the green or amber lights are blinking or the door won't close, the sensors are likely misaligned or blocked by debris. We adjust the brackets so the beams point perfectly at each other again. If the eyes are damaged or the wiring has frayed, we can repair or replace them to restore your safety features. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

Repairing a garage door sensor in Oakland generally involves checking for obstructions that might be blocking the infrared beam between the two sensors.
