From the first phone call to the final safety test, Garaga garage door cable repair in your area follows a simple process: diagnose, quote, repair, test. Frayed, snapped or slipped lift cables replaced and the door re-leveled. Whether your Garaga garage door is a few years old or a few decades, we can diagnose it and tell you honestly whether it is worth repairing. Garaga is a Canadian garage door manufacturer based in Quebec.
Safety first: springs and cables hold hundreds of pounds of tension. Don't try to adjust or remove them yourself, and don't run the opener on a door that's crooked or has a broken spring.
Is it time for Garaga garage door cable repair?
- A cable hanging loose or off its drum
- The door is crooked, with one side higher than the other
- Frayed or rusty strands near the bottom bracket
- The door stopped suddenly and won't move
Common causes
- Rust and wear at the bottom bracket, where cables sit near wet ground
- A broken spring that let the cable go slack and unwind
- Drums that have slipped on the shaft
- The door hitting an obstruction while closing
Safe checks before you call
- Don't operate the door if a cable is loose. It can come off its tracks.
- Look at both bottom corners for frayed or rusted cable.
- Never loosen the bottom brackets, because they are under full spring tension.

Garaga Garage Door Cable Repair: frequently asked questions
How much does Garaga garage door cable repair cost?
Garaga Garage Door Cable Repair typically costs $150-$350 including parts and labor, and usually takes 1-1.5 hours. The exact price depends on your door and the parts it needs, and you get it before any work starts. Call (833) 435-8883 for a quote.
Can you do Garaga garage door cable repair the same day?
Often, yes. When a technician is available we can usually come the same day, and common parts are carried on the truck. Doors that won't close or have a broken spring are treated as priority calls, and emergency service is available.
Is Garaga garage door cable repair covered by a warranty?
Our work comes with a 90-day labor warranty on repairs. New parts and doors also carry the manufacturer's warranty, and Garaga warranty terms vary by product and age. Ask for the warranty details in writing with your quote.
Are your technicians licensed and insured?
Our technicians are insured, and where your state or city requires a contractor license for garage door work, the job is done under that license. You're welcome to ask for proof when you book.
Should I repair or replace my garage door?
A good rule of thumb: if the repair costs more than about 50% of a replacement, or the garage door is near the end of its life, replace it. A garage door typically lasts 15 to 30 years. If several panels are damaged, the door is rusted through or rotted, or parts are discontinued, replacing it is often better value. Springs are the exception: a broken spring is always replaced, never repaired. Our free repair vs. replace calculator can help you compare.
