Prefer to Lubricate It Yourself? We Sell the Lubricant.
Not every homeowner wants to wait a full year between tune-ups for something as simple as lubrication. If you'd rather handle your own yearly lubrication between visits, we sell the same silicone-based garage door lubricant our techs use on every job, it goes on clean, won't attract dust and grime the way WD-40 or household oil does, and holds up well through Arizona's heat.

Garage Door Tune-Up: Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in a garage door tune-up?
A 25-point inspection of the springs, rollers, cables, drums and tracks; adjustment of spring tension and opener force settings; track alignment; cleaning debris from the tracks and hardware; lubrication of rollers, hinges, bearings and the chain or belt; a test of the opener's auto-reverse safety system; tightening of all fasteners; and a full test cycle.
How often should a garage door be serviced?
Once a year. If it has been more than a year, or the door squeaks, grinds, moves slower than it used to, stops or reverses on its own, jerks when starting or slams when closing, it is time.
Why does regular maintenance matter?
The average Phoenix door runs 2,000 to 3,000 cycles a year. A tune-up catches worn springs, cables and rollers before they fail, keeps the door balanced so the opener is not overworked, and confirms the safety reverse is working. It prevents the breakdown rather than repairing it.
Will the technician try to sell me repairs?
The technician will point out anything that is wearing and give you a straight recommendation with honest pricing, but there are no upsells. Most tune-ups end with lubrication and adjustments only.
Can I lubricate the door myself between tune-ups?
Yes. We sell the same silicone-based garage door lubricant our technicians use; it goes on clean and does not attract dust. Use it on the rollers, hinges and bearings, never on the tracks.
How long does a tune-up take?
Usually under an hour. The technician does not leave until the door sounds, looks and runs right.
