Most of the time, when your opener is not working as it should, we can do repairs. We also advise our clients to allow us to conduct a proper diagnosis to know whether a repair is enough or you will need to replace the opener. So under what circumstance would we recommend replacement? If the garage door opener causes a safety risk, especially if the manufacturer has been sued successfully for safety defects. We do not repair such models. Also, if a brand is no longer in the market, we cannot do repairs since finding its parts would be close to impossible. It is also important to note that garage door openers are part of changing technology, so at times we would advise you to go with what is not obsolete.
