An annual garage door tune-up is the single most cost-effective investment you can make in your door's longevity. In Austin's climate — with extreme heat, humidity, and dust — garage door components wear faster than in milder regions. A 60-minute tune-up catches worn rollers before they score the tracks, identifies spring tension loss before the spring snaps, and ensures the safety reversal is working correctly. We call it maintenance; the alternative is emergency repair.
What Our 20-Point Tune-Up Covers
What to Expect During Your Tune-Up
Our tune-up covers 20 inspection points and takes about 60 minutes. You receive a written summary of what was done and any items to watch. Parts flagged during the inspection can be replaced on the same visit if you choose.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I tune up my garage door?
Once a year for average use (2–4 cycles per day). Twice a year if you use the door 6+ times daily. Austin's heat makes the annual schedule especially important compared to cooler climates.
What's included in a Shockwave tune-up?
Lubrication of all moving parts, balance test, safety reversal test, hardware tightening, roller inspection, cable and spring visual check, track alignment check, and opener force calibration. Written summary provided.
How much does a tune-up cost?
$75–$125 depending on door size and condition. No hidden fees. If parts need replacement, we quote separately before touching anything.
Can I do it myself?
You can lubricate the door yourself with garage door lubricant (not WD-40). But the balance test, safety reversal adjustment, and spring inspection require disconnecting the opener and specific testing methods. Professional tune-ups catch what DIY can't.
What happens if you find something during the tune-up?
We tell you what we found, show you the worn part if possible, explain what it means, and quote the repair. You decide — no pressure. We never start additional work without your approval.
