Comment on What should I know about buying / replacing a garage door opener?

My brother did overhead garage door install and repair for about 20 years. He will be the first one to tell you stop screwing with it. What might be a minor cost if you call right now could be a major cost of keeps screwing with it. He seen cases where have they called right away. It been the service call, a couple hundred dollars. Service call meaning trip charge.

Because they kept screwing with it it was a very large bill. If I remember right, the worst one was where he had to replace tracks, garage door opener, and I think there was even a panel he had to replace.

Another person said you can just track the tracks to see if there’s something in it but beyond that. I’d just called a professional.
