Springs snap.
Cold makes steel more brittle, and a worn spring is most likely to fail on a freezing morning. That's the loud bang people hear in December.

$99Winter offer: $99 tune-up, ends Dec 31
One visit, one door, every moving part checked, adjusted and lubricated. If we find something that needs replacing, we quote it before doing anything extra, and nothing gets replaced without your OK. Same-day and 24/7 service is available across the GTA.
01 / The cold
Why winter is hard on garage doors.
Your garage door is the biggest moving thing in your house, and it works hardest in the months it likes least. Drag the thermometer to see what the cold does to it.
Openers strain.
Thick, cold grease and a door out of balance make the opener work harder on every cycle, which wears the gears and can stop the door halfway.
Stress
Seals freeze to the floor.
Meltwater under the door freezes overnight and glues the bottom seal to the concrete. The opener then tries to tear it free.
Stress
02 / What's included
Seven checks, one visit.
Our technician works through the whole door system, adjusts what needs adjusting, and tells you plainly what's in good shape and what isn't.
Spring and cable inspection
Both springs checked for wear, gaps and rust, and cables for fraying.
Roller and hinge lubrication
For a quieter, smoother lift in the cold.
Balance test
We disconnect the opener and lift the door by hand. A balanced door is easier on the springs and the motor.
Opener force and travel settings
So the door closes fully and still reverses when it should.
Safety sensor test
We align and test the sensors and auto-reverse. If your sensor lights are off or blinking, this is where we sort it out.
Weather seal check
Cracks and gaps that let in cold air, snow and meltwater.
Hardware tightening
Brackets, hinges and track bolts shaken loose by a year of use.
03 / Don't wait
Signs your door needs a tune-up now.
If your door is already doing any of these, the first cold snap will make it worse.
It's noisy.
Grinding, squealing or popping usually means dry rollers, worn bearings or a spring starting to go.
It's slow or jerky.
Shuddering, stopping partway or lifting unevenly often points to balance or track problems, and cold grease makes them worse.
It reverses.
If it touches the floor and goes back up, the cause is usually the sensors or force settings, and a frozen seal can trigger it too.
Opener or remotes acting up.
Your garage door opener is not working properly, or the remotes only work up close. Worth checking before the cold sets in.
Heard a loud bang and the door won't lift? That's a broken spring, not a tune-up job. See our spring repair page, or call us right away.

05 / Questions
Winter tune-up: your questions
How long does a winter tune-up take?
Most tune-ups take about an hour for a single door. A double door, or one that needs a lot of adjustment, can take a little longer. We'll tell you before we start if anything needs extra time.
What if you find a broken part?
We show you what we found, explain why it matters and quote before doing anything extra. If you go ahead, we can often fix it on the same visit.
Does the $99 price apply to my city?
If you're in the Greater Toronto Area, almost certainly. We cover Toronto, Brampton, Hamilton, Oakville, Burlington and Mississauga. Call 289-937-1645 and tell us where you are.
Is the tune-up worth it if my door seems fine?
Springs and cables often wear for months before they fail, and the first sign is the bang. A tune-up catches wear while it's still a planned visit, not an emergency.
When does the offer end?
December 31.
