You hit the button and the door jerks up six inches, groans, and stops. Maybe it's a snapped spring. Maybe the track pulled away from the wall after last week's downpour flooded the garage floor. Either way, you're standing there with a half-open door, a car you need for work in twenty minutes, and a phone full of search results for garage door repair that all look identical. Every listing promises 24/7 service, licensed and insured, free estimates. So how do you actually tell the difference between a company that will fix this right and one that will leave you calling someone else in six months?
