Your garage door cycles thousands of times a year, and every one of those cycles puts stress on springs, cables, and hardware that are under enormous tension. A door that looks fine can be one worn cable strand away from a dangerous failure. Shockwave's 25-point safety inspection is a methodical, top-to-bottom evaluation of every load-bearing and safety component on your door and opener. We test the parts you can see and the parts you cannot, measuring spring balance, inspecting cable integrity, and checking that the photo-eye sensors and auto-reverse features work. Austin's temperature swings and humidity accelerate wear on rollers and lubrication, so a yearly inspection is a practical safeguard for a family's most-used entry point. You get a clear written report with photos, priority levels, and honest pricing without scare tactics.
What We Inspect
What You Get After the Inspection
At the end of the visit we walk you through a written 25-point report that grades every component as good, monitor, or needs-attention. If we find something unsafe, such as a frayed cable or a failed auto-reverse, we explain the recommended repair and its price. With your approval, repair work is completed the day your technician arrives. A routine inspection includes light lubrication and adjustments.
Repair work is completed the same day the technician arrives.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a garage door safety inspection cost in Austin?
Call now for upfront pricing over the phone. We’ll assess your specific door and give you a fair price before we start.
How often should I have my garage door inspected?
We recommend once a year for a typical residential door. Doors used many times a day, or older doors approaching 15+ years, benefit from a check every six months.
Will you try to sell me parts I don't need?
No. Our report grades each component honestly and we only recommend work that affects safety or function. You'll see photos of anything we flag so you can decide for yourself.
Can you test the auto-reverse feature?
Yes. We test both the contact-reverse (with a 2x4 under the door) and the photo-eye reverse. Failed auto-reverse is a dangerous and common issue.
Do you inspect commercial garage doors too?
Absolutely. We inspect residential and light-commercial doors across Austin, including two-car and roll-up doors. Commercial inspections are priced by door count and complexity.
