What we get called out for
Every make of door and opener — including the ones we installed twenty years ago.
MOST COMMON
Spring repair & replacement
The number one emergency call, and the one job you should never try yourself. Torsion springs hold enormous tension.
See spring repair ›
SAME DAY
General service & repair
Cables, rollers, hinges, panels, sensors and tracks. If it moves or holds the door up, we carry the part on the van.
See repairs ›
FREE KEYPAD
Openers
Repair or replace. Quiet belt drives for garages under a bedroom, plus phone control and keypad setup.
See openers ›
$60–$120 OFF
New door installation
Steel, insulated, carriage house and full-view glass. Measured, ordered and fitted by our own crew, not a subcontractor.
See installation ›
BEFORE WINTER
Preventive maintenance
A tune-up before the cold hits is the cheapest visit we make. Balance, lubrication, tension and a full safety check.
See maintenance ›
PRIORITY
Commercial & dock doors
Rolling steel, sectional and high-cycle doors for warehouses and shops. Downtime costs money, so these jump the queue.

Straight pricing
You are allowed to get a second quote.
Garage door repair has a reputation problem. National call centres buy the top ad slot, send whoever is nearest, and quote a number with plenty of room in it. We've been the second quote for a lot of people — and the cheaper one more often than not.
- The technician who quotes you is the technician who does the work.
- We'll tell you when a repair is smarter than a replacement.
- Two shops in the area — not a van dispatched from another state.
- The coupons are right on this page. You don't have to ask for the discount.

Another company had come over the night before and wanted to charge me $600 plus for this job. Doors in Motion came in hundreds of dollars under that.

What people say
The technician gets named in nearly every review.
That happens when the same people have worked here for years.
★★★★★
Repaired my garage door and did an excellent job. Good performance, good attitude. Came in hundreds of dollars under the other company's quote.

★★★★★
Prompt and professional. He took the time to explain exactly what he was doing while he was here, and I could tell he was very skilled. We'll use them again.

My door would open right after it closed. Someone came out the next day, worked out the opener had to be replaced, and had it all done within the hour.
