Trusted Residential Garage Door Repair in San Antonio
A garage door that has stopped working almost always gives you a clue first. A bang from the garage and a door that will not lift means a torsion spring has snapped. A door that rises a few inches and stops has either hit its safety reverse or lost a cable. A door that shudders and grinds on the way up is running on worn rollers. A motor that hums without moving the door has stripped its drive gear.
Mojo Garage Door Service repairs residential garage doors across San Antonio, seven days a week. Estimates are free, there is no call-out fee, and a technician is usually with you inside 1–2 hours.
Common Garage Door Issues We Fix
Most residential repair calls come down to five parts, and they fail in fairly predictable ways.
Springs. A standard torsion spring is rated for around 10,000 open-close cycles. A household that opens the door four times a day gets roughly seven years out of one. When it goes it usually goes with a bang, and the door becomes far too heavy for the opener to lift. Springs are replaced in pairs — if one has reached the end of its life the other is not far behind. Spring repair and replacement.
Cables. The lifting cables fray where they wind onto the drum. A frayed cable lets one side of the door drop while the other side holds, which is how most doors end up off their track. Cable repair.
Rollers. Builder-grade steel rollers with exposed bearings are standard on most tract-built homes, and they are the usual cause of a door that grinds and shudders. Nylon rollers run close to silent and last longer — a common upgrade where there is a bedroom over the garage. Roller replacement.
Openers. A motor that hums without moving the door has usually stripped its plastic drive gear. Chain drives get louder as the chain stretches; a belt drive is the quieter replacement. Opener repair and installation.
Tracks and alignment. A door knocked out of line by a bumper, or pulled off by a snapped cable, should not be forced back. Running the opener on an off-track door bends the track further and can pull the assembly down. Off-track repair.
- Broken springs – Springs bear the weight of the door. When they snap, your door becomes too heavy to lift.
- Misaligned or bent tracks –Tracks keep the door moving smoothly. If they’re off, your door may jam or wobble.
- Worn or broken rollers – Rollers help your door glide quietly. When they wear down, the door becomes noisy or sticks.
- Malfunctioning garage door openers – We fix everything from remote issues to sensor misalignment to complete motor failures.
- Weather damage – Doors exposed to extreme heat, storms, or humidity may warp, swell, or corrode.
Whether the issue is mechanical, electrical, or weather-related, we’ll identify the cause and deliver a reliable fix.

Residential Garage Door Repair FAQs
My garage door will not open and the opener just hums. What is wrong?
Two likely causes. If the door feels extremely heavy when you try to lift it by hand, a torsion spring has snapped and the opener is not strong enough to lift the door on its own. If the door lifts by hand normally, the opener has probably stripped its plastic drive gear. Either way, stop running the motor — it will not free itself and you risk further damage.
How long should a garage door spring last?
A standard torsion spring is rated for around 10,000 open-and-close cycles. A household opening the door four times a day reaches that in roughly seven years. Higher-cycle springs rated at 20,000 or more are available and are worth considering if the garage is your main way in and out of the house.
Why has my garage door suddenly become so noisy?
Nearly always worn rollers. Most homes are fitted from new with steel rollers running on exposed ball bearings; once those bearings dry out the door grinds and shudders on the way up. Nylon rollers with sealed bearings are the usual replacement and run close to silent. A rhythmic bang rather than a grind more often points to a loose hinge or a flat spot on one roller.
Is it safe to use my garage door if one of the cables looks frayed?
No. The two lifting cables share the weight of the door. If one lets go, that side drops while the other holds, which twists the door in its tracks and is how most doors end up off the rails. If you can see broken strands where the cable winds onto the drum, stop using the opener and call.
Do you charge for a call-out or an estimate?
No. Estimates are free and there is no call-out fee, so you find out what the repair involves and what it costs before any work starts.
How quickly can you get to me?
A technician is usually with you within one to two hours across San Antonio and the surrounding communities. We also offer same-day service, and we answer emergency calls 24 hours a day — a door stuck open is a security problem, not something to leave until morning.
