Signs your garage door opener needs replacing
Most garage door openers last 10 to 15 years. If yours does any of the following, replacing the motor is usually the better fix.
- The door will not open or close when you press the remote
- It moves slowly, jerks or stops halfway
- You hear grinding, clunking or a loud rattle
- The remote or wall button works some days and not others
- The safety sensors keep tripping or the door reverses for no reason
- There is a burning smell, or the motor runs hot
- You still lift the door by hand and want it automatic
Not sure it is the motor? We check first.
Sometimes the problem is a worn spring, a bent track or a flat remote battery. If a smaller repair will do the job, we will say so and quote that instead.
If the motor does need replacing, you get the quote before we start any work.
Replacement garage door opener options
We help you choose the right opener for your door size, noise level and budget, then supply, fit and set it up.
Belt drive openers
Smooth and quiet. A good choice if your garage sits under a bedroom or next to living areas.
Chain drive openers
Proven and tough. Often the better value option for heavier doors and detached garages.
Smart Wi-Fi openers
Open, close and check your door from your phone, and share access with family or guests.
Battery backup
Keeps your door working during a power cut, so you are never stuck inside or locked out.
A new motor that is covered for years
You are protected twice: by the motor manufacturer, and by us.
Motor warranty
The motor we install comes with the manufacturer warranty, up to 7 years depending on the opener you choose. We explain exactly what is covered when we quote.
Workmanship warranty
Every job is backed by a 6-month warranty on our labour. If something is not right, call us and we will sort it.
Service reminders
We send a text when your door is due for its yearly service, so small issues get caught early.

Garage door motor replacement: common questions
How much does a garage door motor replacement cost?
It depends on your door size, the opener you choose and what the install involves. We give you an upfront quote before any work starts, and the quote is free.
How long does it take to replace a garage door opener?
Most motor replacements are completed in one visit. Your technician will confirm the timing when they quote.
What warranty comes with a new motor?
New motors carry a manufacturer warranty of up to 7 years, depending on the opener you choose. Our own workmanship is covered by a 6-month warranty on labour. We explain both when we quote.
Can I replace the motor without replacing the whole door?
Yes, as long as your door is in good condition. A new motor on a sound door works well and costs far less than a new door. We check the door, springs and tracks first.
Can you add a motor to a manual garage door?
Yes. We can convert a manual door to automatic, with remotes and a wall button set up and tested.
How long does a garage door motor last?
Typically 10 to 15 years with regular servicing. If yours is older, noisy or unreliable, it is worth getting a quote.
What brands do you install?
We fit Merlin, Chamberlain, B&D, Automatic Technology, Steel-Line and Centurion openers, and help you choose the right one for your door.
Do you offer after-hours or emergency service?
Yes. We take emergency call-outs outside business hours for doors that will not close or are a security risk. Call us and tell us it is urgent.
Do you also replace garage doors and install new ones?
Yes. We replace and install roller, sectional and tilt doors for homes and new builds, and can fit the opener at the same time.
