About This Service
A broken garage door spring is the most common reason a door won't open. Torsion springs (mounted above the door) and extension springs (on the sides) are under enormous tension and typically last 7–10 years. When one snaps, the door becomes too heavy to lift manually and the opener motor can burn out trying. Shockwave Garage Door Repair carries both spring types on every service van and replaces them in 45–90 minutes. We always replace springs in pairs — if one broke, the other is close behind.
Single spring replacement. Double replacement $200–$400. High-cycle springs available.
See full pricing guide →Do not attempt to open a garage door with a broken spring. The door weighs 150–400 lbs and can drop without warning, causing serious injury or crushing your vehicle.
How It Works
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does spring repair cost in Austin?
A single torsion spring runs $150–$250. A double replacement (strongly recommended) is $200–$350. We quote a firm price over the phone before we arrive.
Should I replace both springs even if only one broke?
Yes — we strongly recommend it. Both springs are the same age. If one broke, the other will follow within weeks or months. Replacing both now saves you a second service call and protects your opener motor.
How long does spring replacement take?
Most spring replacements take 45–90 minutes from arrival to a fully tested door.
Can you come today?
In most cases, yes. We dispatch same-day across Austin and surrounding areas. Call and we'll give you an arrival window immediately.
What type of springs do you use?
We stock standard-cycle springs (10,000 cycles) and high-cycle springs (25,000+ cycles). High-cycle springs cost more upfront but last 2–3x longer — a great investment if you use your door 4+ times a day.
