Garage Door Repair FAQ
Straight answers to the questions Salida and Stanislaus County homeowners ask us most.
Q1.How fast can you get to my home in Salida or Stanislaus County?
Because we are based on Kiernan Ave in Salida, most emergency calls in Salida are reached within 15 to 30 minutes. Modesto, Riverbank, Ceres, and Turlock calls typically take 20 to 45 minutes depending on traffic and location.
Q2.Are you really open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week?
Yes. Back On Track Garage Door Co is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including weekends and holidays for urgent garage door failures like stuck vehicles, off-track doors, and snapped springs.
Q3.My garage door spring just broke. Can I still use the door?
No. A broken spring means the door is no longer balanced and is extremely heavy to lift. Forcing it manually or with the opener can burn out the motor, bend the door, or cause it to crash down. Call us for safe same-day spring replacement.
Q4.Should I replace both springs if only one broke?
Yes. Springs are installed as a matched set and wear at the same rate. When one breaks, the other is at the end of its lifespan and will usually fail soon after. Replacing both avoids a second service call.
Q5.Why does my garage door start closing and then reverse?
This is a safety feature. It usually means the infrared safety sensors are misaligned, dirty, or blocked. If cleaning and aligning them does not fix it, the sensor wiring or opener logic board may need repair.
Q6.Can you fix a garage door that came off its tracks?
Yes. Off-track doors are one of our most common repairs. We realign the tracks, reset the rollers, replace any damaged cables, and test the door for smooth balanced operation before we leave.
Q7.Do you repair all brands of garage door openers?
We service all major opener brands including LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Craftsman, Genie, and Sears. We replace stripped gears, recalibrate safety sensors, repair logic boards, and program remotes and keypads.
Q8.How much does garage door repair cost?
Cost depends on the part and the repair needed. We provide clear, upfront estimates before starting any work so you know the price before we begin. There are no hidden fees.
Q9.Do you offer emergency service on weekends and holidays?
Yes. Our 24/7 dispatch covers weekends and holidays. If your car is trapped or your garage is stuck open at night, call (209) 671-2006 and we will send a technician.
Q10.What areas do you serve?
