Repair is cheaper than replacement until the door itself is the problem.
A spring, a cable, a roller set or an opener runs a few hundred dollars. A new double car door starts at $1,590. If the sections are straight and the frame is sound, replacing the broken part is the cheaper job by a wide margin.
That changes when the door is bent, rusted through, or has been hit hard enough to knock the sections out of line. At that point you are paying to keep a door going that will need the next repair soon.

When Repair Stops Making Sense
Three things move the decision toward a new door.
The sections are bent or out of line. A door that has been backed into rarely comes back to square. A single panel can be replaced, but on an older door the color will not match, and the section next to it is usually next.
The bottom section is rusting through. Once that has gone, the track and the rollers follow.
You are on your third repair in two years. Add the repairs up. Once they approach half the price of a new door, the new door is the better spend.
What Is Included Either Way
The price quoted is the price on the invoice. Parts, labor and tax are in it. A service call includes a 30-point inspection covering springs, cables, rollers, hinges, tracks, bearings, balance and the safety reversal system, along with full lubrication and photos before and after.
FAQ
How much does a garage door repair cost in Mesa?
Most repairs fall between $125 for a service call and $425 for two new springs. Bigger jobs like a TorqueMaster conversion at $725 or an opener replacement from $755 are quoted as a total, not as parts plus labor.
How do I know whether to repair or replace?
If the sections are straight and the frame is sound, repair. If the door is bent, rusting through, or on its third repair in two years, price a replacement.
What are the most common garage door repairs?
Broken springs, jumped cables, worn rollers and failed openers. Springs are the most common by a wide margin, because they are the part doing the work every time the door moves.
How can I make a garage door last longer?
A National Association of Home Builders study puts garage door life at 10 to 15 years. Keep the tracks clear and lubricate the rollers, hinges, springs and bearings with a spray petroleum lubricant. Never use grease. Have the balance and the safety reversal checked once a year.
