A broken garage door spring is the most common repair we handle in Austin, and the one you shouldn’t put off. Springs carry the entire weight of the door, so when one snaps the door becomes dangerous to operate and can trap your car inside.
We stock both torsion and extension springs on every truck, match the exact size your door needs, and get it working again in a single visit. Most spring jobs finish within an hour, with the full price quoted before we start.
Signs your spring has failed
What our spring repair includes
We measure your existing spring's wire size, length, and inside diameter to match the correct replacement, because the wrong spring wears out fast and throws the door off balance.
- Both springs measured and matched
- Spring replaced and re-tensioned
- Moving parts cleaned and lubricated
- Door balance and safety reverse tested
- Cables and rollers checked while we are there
- Work area cleaned up before we go
Licensed, insured, and honest about it
Spring work is high-tension and genuinely dangerous to DIY. Our technicians do it every day, quote the full price before they start, and if your door has two springs we’ll tell you honestly whether both need replacing.
While we’re there we often catch a fraying cable or worn roller before it becomes the next emergency, see cable and roller repair. If the opener has been straining too, we also handle garage door opener repair.

Common questions
How do I know if my spring is broken?
The most common signs: the door won’t lift or feels impossibly heavy, you hear a loud bang from the garage, or you see a visible gap in the spring coil above the door. If any of these sound familiar, stop using the door and call us.
Should I replace one spring or both?
If your door has two springs and one broke, the other is the same age and usually close behind. Replacing both at once saves a second service call and keeps the door balanced.
Let’s get that door working again.
