Preventative maintenance will save you money in the long run. It only takes a few minutes to tune up a garage door & opener, and inspect all of the working parts. It is only $139, but it has the potential to save you the cost of replacing your entire door and opener system which could be thousands of dollars.

I recommend having a tune up done once for every 4,000 times you open your garage door, which translates to about 3 years for most people. It includes:

adjust springs
tighten hinges
adjust and tighten track
door alignment
lube
inspect all parts
test opener operation
aim safety eyes
check all wiring connections
lubricate opener gears
adjust travel and force settings
