Before recommending a new unit, we check the logic board, drive gear, and sensors — most failures are a single component, not the whole system.
5 Star Garage Door Service trains Ann Arbor, MI technicians on this exact service line so you're not the one teaching them on the job.
We'd rather send one truck that's actually equipped for garage door opener repair than three that aren't, even if it means a slightly longer wait on a rare occasion.
We service chain-drive, belt-drive, screw-drive, and smart Wi-Fi openers from every major manufacturer.
We check the logic board, drive gear, and sensors individually before recommending a full swap.
Federal safety standards require functioning auto-reverse sensors; we verify this on every job.
Retrofit smart modules are available when a full replacement isn't necessary.
The logic board controls nearly every function — we carry replacement boards for common Ann Arbor, MI opener brands.
Stripped drive gears cause the classic hum-but-no-movement symptom — we inspect the full drive assembly since a stripped gear often follows an unbalanced door.
Lost remotes and unresponsive keypads get resolved on-site — often in minutes.
Sensors bumped out of alignment get realigned and re-tested — {a blinking light almost always means alignment or a dirty lens|we test full auto-reverse function after every repair|this is a fast, inexpensive fix compared to a full unit swap}.
A motor that struggles to start often points to a failing capacitor — we test performance under load rather than assuming replacement.

Most of our Ann Arbor, MI opener calls end in a repair, not a sales pitch for a new unit.
This classically points to a stripped drive gear inside the unit.
Federal standards require this behavior when sensors detect an obstruction.
Most connectivity issues are router or app-side problems that don't require replacement.
We quote a flat rate on-site after diagnosis.
