Garage Door Opener Repair
Minneapolis & Twin Cities
Opener not responding? Door reversing on its own? We diagnose and repair all garage door opener brands — LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, Craftsman, and more.
Opener Problems We Fix
Motor Won't Run
If you press the button and hear nothing, the motor or logic board may have failed. We diagnose and repair or replace the motor unit.
Remote / Keypad Not Working
Dead batteries are the first check, but if that's not it, the receiver board or remote frequency may need reprogramming or replacement.
Door Reverses Before Closing
This is usually a misaligned safety sensor or an obstruction detection issue. We realign sensors and test the full close cycle.
Opener Runs But Door Doesn't Move
If the motor runs but the door stays put, the trolley carriage or drive gear may be stripped. We inspect and replace worn drive components.
Grinding or Loud Noise
Grinding noises usually mean worn gears or a dry chain/belt. We lubricate, adjust, or replace drive components as needed.
MyQ / Wi-Fi Not Connecting
We troubleshoot LiftMaster MyQ connectivity issues, firmware updates, and smart home integrations.

Opener Repair FAQ
How much does garage door opener repair cost?
Simple repairs like sensor realignment or remote reprogramming run $50–$75. More involved repairs like gear or logic board replacement cost $100–$225. If the opener is old or the repair cost exceeds 50% of a new unit, we'll recommend replacement and explain why.
Should I repair or replace my garage door opener?
If your opener is under 10 years old and the repair is under $150, repair usually makes sense. If it's 15+ years old, lacks safety features, or needs a major component, a new LiftMaster with battery backup and MyQ smart control is often the better investment.
What opener brands do you service?
We service all major brands including LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, Craftsman, Sears, Linear, and more. We're a LiftMaster dealer and carry parts for their full lineup.
My opener light blinks but the door won't move — what's wrong?
Blinking lights on LiftMaster openers are diagnostic codes. The number of blinks indicates the fault. Common causes include misaligned safety sensors, a broken spring (the opener won't run if it detects a broken spring), or a logic board error. Call us and describe the blink pattern — we can often diagnose it over the phone.
Can you fix my LiftMaster MyQ smart opener?
Yes. We service the full LiftMaster lineup including MyQ-enabled openers. We can troubleshoot Wi-Fi connectivity, app pairing, and smart home integrations with Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and Apple HomeKit.
