Pull the emergency release and move the door by hand. Heavy, or won't hold position? That's the spring — the motor is innocent.
Moves freely and stays where you leave it? Then the opener really is the fault, and it's worth going further.
Winter power fluctuations during fronts, and heat. A garage in a Mandurah February gets genuinely hot, and opener electronics sitting at the ceiling take the worst of it.
Salt is a lesser factor for the opener than for the door hardware — but on a canal block with the garage open most of the day, it reaches the board eventually.
Under about ten years old with parts still available: repair, $150 to $450. Older or discontinued: replace at $450 to $1,200, which also buys current safety features.
One thing that decides it on its own — a very old opener with no auto-reverse is worth replacing regardless of whether it can be fixed.

Where this job typically sits. Access is usually a bigger cost driver than size.
| Job | Indicative price | What moves it |
|---|---|---|
| Service call and diagnosis | $90 – $180 | Attending and identifying the fault. Most operators credit it against the repair — ask, because not all do. |
| Roller door spring re-tension | $150 – $320 | Restoring tension to a drum spring that no longer holds the curtain up. The most common single job in this region. |
| Roller door curtain replacement | $700 – $1,900 | Replacing a dented or corroded curtain. Width and material drive the number. |
| Torsion spring replacement | $250 – $600 | Sectional door springs, replaced in pairs where the door has two. |
| Cable replacement | $150 – $350 | Usually done alongside springs, because they wear together. |
| Motor / opener repair | $150 – $450 | Boards, capacitors and gear sets on an opener still supported by parts. |
| New opener supplied and fitted | $450 – $1,200 | Depends on door weight and whether you want app control or a keypad. |
| Off-track correction | $150 – $400 | Re-seating the door and replacing whatever let go. More if a panel or slat is bent. |
| Full service | $120 – $250 | Tension, cables, rollers, tracks, opener limits and safety reverse. |
| Door replacement, existing opening | from $1,400 | Roller doors sit at the lower end here; wide insulated sectionals at the upper. |
Prices are indicative only. What a job costs depends on the door type, the width of the opening, the part, and whether it can be repaired or has to be replaced. You get a firm price before any work starts.
The standard WA garage door — curtains, drums, springs and guides.
The door won't stay up, or has become impossibly heavy to lift.
Dented, bent or corroded curtains — and the point where one slat becomes all of them.
Whatever the door is doing, narrowed down before anyone quotes it.
Torsion springs on sectional doors — the ones that go with a bang.
Doors sitting crooked, jammed, or hanging out of their guides.
Tell us the suburb and the symptom and we'll get it to the right person.
