Opener Repair · Union City, TN
Motor humming, remote dead, or the door reversing halfway down.
Most opener failures are not the motor. They are a stripped drive gear, a failed capacitor, a travel limit that has drifted, or a safety sensor knocked out of line by a bicycle. Those are repairs. Whole-unit replacement is the last option, not the first.
We find out what actually failed - gear, capacitor, board, sensor or limit switch - before quoting anything.
The most common repair on chain and belt units, and far cheaper than a new opener.
Knocked-out sensors cause most 'door reverses for no reason' calls. Realignment is quick.
If the unit is past repair we quote a new one, fit it, program the remotes and take the old one away.
Real ranges, not a teaser price. The exact number depends on the door, the parts and the access, and you get it before we start.
| Work | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Diagnostic visit | $65 - $95, credited against the repair |
| Drive gear kit | $140 - $260 |
| Circuit board or capacitor | $150 - $300 |
| Safety sensor repair or replacement | $90 - $180 |
| New opener supplied and fitted | $450 - $900 |
If a repair will not hold we say so instead of selling it twice. Sometimes the honest answer is that the door has had its life.
We stock the parts that break most often, so the usual spring or cable job is done the day we arrive.
A price before the work, and it does not move once we start unless you approve something.
Being based in Union City keeps the drive to Obion County towns short enough to do properly.
One call, a real arrival window, and a price before the work starts.
Phone or form. Describe the noise, whether the door hangs level, and whether anything is trapped.
We look at the whole system rather than the one part you mentioned. It takes ten minutes and saves a second visit.
You hear what it needs, what it costs and what happens if you leave it. Then you decide.
Parts fitted, door balanced, safety reverse checked, everything explained before we pack up.
Nine times out of ten it is the photo-eye sensors: out of alignment, dirty, or a loose wire. Occasionally the close-force setting has drifted.
