Tune-up & safety check
Twenty minutes of wrench time that heads off the 9pm emergency call.
Typical price, installed
$89 flat
Flat, per door. If the tune-up finds a real repair, the tune-up price counts toward it.
Sound familiar?
- The door works, but louder or slower than it used to
- It’s been years since anyone looked at the hardware
- You’re about to sell the house and want the door off the inspection report
- You’d rather pay a small flat price now than an emergency price later
What I do about it
- Every hinge, bracket, and lag bolt checked and snugged
- Springs, cables, and rollers inspected and lubricated with the right stuff — garage doors don’t want WD-40
- Balance test, force-limit test, and photo-eye safety test, with photos
- A one-page written rundown: what’s healthy, what’s wearing, what it’ll cost when it goes
Asked on most driveways
How often does a door need this?
Once a year is plenty for most doors; twice if the door runs six-plus cycles a day. A door that gets looked at yearly almost never surprises you.
Is this just a sales visit in disguise?
No — the flat price is the product. Most tune-ups end with “you’re good, see you next year.” When something is wearing, you get the price in writing and zero pressure; the point of the rundown is that you’ll never need to decide in a panic.
Can you do it while I’m at work?
If I can reach the garage, yes — plenty of tune-ups happen with the homeowner on a lunch break or not home at all. You get the written rundown and photos by text either way.
