Repair or replace?
A single spring or cable fix is almost always worth it. But if the door is old and you're facing multiple failures (springs and opener and panels), the repair total can approach the cost of a new door — at which point replacement (see our installation cost guide ) is the smarter spend.

Frequently asked questions
Most repairs run $150–$400 depending on the part. Spring replacement is typically $200–$350, opener repair $150–$350.
Standard torsion springs last about 7–12 years or ~10,000 cycles. If one breaks, replace both — the second usually fails soon after.
Single fixes (a spring, a cable) are worth it. If multiple major parts fail on an old door, compare the repair total to a new-door install before deciding.
Torsion springs are under high tension and cause serious injuries every year — this is the one repair best left to a pro.
