We built Quick Response Garage Door Service as a local, family owned and operated company so our neighbors in the area have a team they can rely on when something goes wrong with the garage door.
Our technicians work on all types of residential doors and spring systems. Because we repair all door brands, you do not have to know the model or manufacturer before you call. You simply tell us what the door is doing, and we bring what we typically need to complete the repair in one visit whenever possible. Over 25 years in the garage door industry have helped us understand common spring problems in homes around Scottsdale and nearby communities.
We also know that garage door issues do not wait for business hours. That is why our team is available 24/7 for emergency calls.

Why Homeowners Choose Our Spring Replacement Service
Most homeowners can find several companies who say they fix garage doors. The difference is how those companies stand behind their work and how they treat you during the process. We have shaped our spring replacement service around the concerns we hear most often about cost, warranty, and honest recommendations.
One of the biggest reasons people choose us is our 5 year parts and labor warranty on spring replacement. Many companies advertise long warranties in large print but require you to pay for a tune up every single year to keep that coverage. Those annual visits can add up quickly. Our warranty does not require paid yearly tune ups, so you know that if a covered spring we installed fails within the warranty period, you can reach out to our team for help without worrying about whether you paid for extra service visits.
We also offer a price match or beat guarantee on written estimates from licensed competitors. If you have a written quote from another licensed garage door company for comparable spring work, share it with us. We work to match or beat that price so you can choose a company you trust without paying more. For homeowners facing larger repairs or considering upgrades, we provide service financing options and run various promotions. When a spring failure reveals that the door itself is in poor shape, we offer free estimates on new garage door installations so you can weigh repair and replacement with no pressure.
What To Do When Your Garage Door Spring Breaks
A broken spring can be alarming, especially if you hear a loud bang from the garage or find the door stuck and crooked. Knowing what to do in the first few minutes can protect your family, your property, and the door itself.
Stay Safe Around a Damaged Door
First, focus on safety. If the door is open and will not move, keep children and pets away from the opening. Do not try to pull the door down by hand. If the door is closed and your car is inside, resist the urge to keep hitting the opener or to lift the door by yourself. A standard residential door is very heavy without working springs, and forcing it can damage the opener or cause the door to come off its track.
Check For Obvious Spring Damage
If you can do so safely, take a quick look at the springs mounted above or alongside the door. You may see a visible gap in a torsion spring or a stretched extension spring. You do not need to touch anything, and you should not attempt to wind or unwind springs on your own. This quick look can simply help you describe the problem when you call.
Call For Upfront Pricing & Scheduling
When you are ready, contact our team and tell us what happened. Let us know if your vehicle is trapped, if the door is stuck open or closed, and any noises or changes you noticed before the failure. We will share a price range for the likely scope of work up front, answer your questions, and schedule a technician to come to your home. You will not be transferred around or left wondering what it will cost.
How Our Technicians Repair & Replace Garage Door Springs
Many people feel more comfortable calling for service when they understand what will actually happen during the visit. We aim to keep our process clear and predictable, from the moment we arrive until your garage door is moving smoothly again.
Inspection & Clear Explanation
When our technician reaches your home, the first step is a careful inspection of the door, tracks, springs, and opener. We confirm whether the springs are the root cause of the issue and check for any related damage such as frayed cables or bent hardware. Once we know what is going on, we explain the problem in everyday language and review the repair options with you before starting any work. Pricing for the agreed scope of work is confirmed up front so there are no surprises at the end.
Professional Spring Replacement & Balancing
For spring replacement, we remove the damaged components using proper tools and safety procedures and install new springs that are correctly sized for your specific door. When appropriate, we also look at related parts that affect how the door moves, such as rollers and bearings, and we let you know if anything else needs attention. After the new springs are in place, we balance the door, adjust tension as needed, and test the system several times, both by hand and with the opener.
Final Testing & Warranty Coverage
Before we leave, we walk you through what we did and show you how the door should feel when it is operating correctly. Every spring replacement we perform includes our 5 year parts and labor warranty, and because we repair all door brands, you can call us whether your system is newer or has been in the home for many years. Our goal is to complete most spring repairs in a single visit, although the exact time can depend on your door size, condition, and any additional work you approve while we are there.
Understanding Your Garage Door Springs & Why They Fail
Garage door springs do a lot of heavy work quietly in the background. Knowing a little about how they function can make the situation feel less mysterious when something goes wrong.
What Springs Do For Your Door
Most residential doors use either torsion springs mounted above the opening or extension springs running along the sides. These springs are wound or stretched to store energy. When the door moves, that stored energy helps lift and lower the door so the opener does not have to do all the work. This is why a well balanced door can often be lifted by hand with one arm, even though the door itself is very heavy.
Common Reasons Springs Wear Out
Over time, springs go through thousands of open and close cycles. Metal fatigue, normal wear, and daily use gradually weaken the coils until they can no longer hold the required tension. In the area, long hot summers and dusty conditions can also contribute to wear by affecting lubricants and metal parts. Eventually, a spring may break suddenly or start to lose strength so the door feels heavier or sits unevenly.
Why DIY Spring Repair Is Risky
Attempting to adjust or replace these components without proper training and tools can be dangerous. Springs under tension can release a lot of force if handled incorrectly, which can lead to serious injury or damage to the door. Our technicians work with these systems every day, and we use quality replacement springs that are matched to your specific door. Correct sizing, installation, and balancing help your new springs perform better and can extend their usable life compared to a quick, improperly matched fix.
Serving Scottsdale Homeowners With Reliable Garage Door Help
Garage doors in Scottsdale get used a lot. For many families, the garage is the main way they come and go for work, school, and errands. When a spring fails, it is not just a minor inconvenience. It can bring a whole day to a stop.
Our team spends a significant amount of time helping homeowners throughout Scottsdale and the surrounding area. Because we are based in the Phoenix region, we understand how local traffic patterns and neighborhood layouts affect scheduling. We plan our routes with these factors in mind so we can arrive during the window we discuss with you when you call.
The local climate also plays a role in how garage doors age. High temperatures can dry out lubricants and place additional stress on metal components, while dust and debris can collect on tracks and moving parts. We keep these conditions in mind when we recommend parts and maintenance schedules, and we choose products that hold up well in homes here. As a local, family-owned company, we look at every repair as the beginning or continuation of a long term relationship. We want you to feel comfortable calling us again whenever you need help with your garage door system.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my garage door spring is broken?
A broken spring usually makes itself known with clear signs. Many homeowners hear a loud bang from the garage and then find that the door will not open or close, even though the opener runs. You might see a visible gap in a torsion spring above the door or notice that an extension spring along the side is stretched out or hanging. The door may feel extremely heavy if you try to lift it slightly by hand, and it can sit crooked on one side. If you notice any of these symptoms, it is a good idea to stop using the door and contact our team so we can inspect the system and confirm what is going on.
Is it safe to open my garage door with a broken spring?
In most cases, it is not safe to operate a garage door with a broken spring. The springs are designed to carry most of the door’s weight. When they fail, that weight shifts to the opener and to anyone trying to lift the door by hand. Forcing the opener to move a door without proper spring support can burn out the motor, strip gears, or pull the door off its tracks. Trying to lift the door yourself can lead to back injuries or fingers caught between sections. If you suspect a spring problem, it is best to leave the door as it is and let a trained technician open, secure, and repair it.
How quickly can your team come to fix my springs?
Response time depends on the time of day, current demand, and your exact location, but we work to provide prompt help for urgent spring problems. Because we serve Scottsdale regularly and are available 24/7 for emergency calls, we can often arrange same day or very fast service, especially when your vehicle is trapped or the door is stuck open. When you call, we will ask a few questions about the situation, let you know what scheduling looks like, and offer the earliest appointment that fits both your needs and our current routes.
What does your 5 year spring warranty actually cover?
Our 5 year warranty on spring replacement covers both the parts and the labor for the springs we install. If a covered spring that we installed fails within that five year period under normal residential use, you can contact us to discuss service under that warranty. Unlike some companies, we do not require you to pay for a yearly tune up just to keep the warranty valid. We believe a warranty should be clear and straightforward, so our technician can explain the details at your visit and answer any questions you have about how it works in everyday situations.
Will you try to sell me a new garage door instead of fixing the spring?
Our focus during a service call is to address the problem you contacted us about and to keep your door operating safely. In many cases, that means replacing worn or broken springs while the rest of the door remains in good condition. If we see serious issues with the door itself, such as extensive damage or severe wear that could make repairs less cost effective, we will explain what we find and walk through your options. You are not required to replace the door, and if you want to explore that route, we offer free estimates on new door installations so you can compare repair and replacement with full information.
How much does garage door spring repair usually cost?
The cost of fixing a spring depends on several factors, including the style and size of your door, the type and number of springs it uses, and whether there are any related parts that also need attention. When you call us, we will ask a few questions about what you are seeing and hearing so we can provide a price range for the likely repair before we schedule your appointment. Once our technician inspects your door in person, we confirm the final price for the agreed scope of work before starting. If you already have a written estimate from a licensed competitor for comparable spring service, we work to match or beat that price, and for larger projects we can talk through financing options.
Can you repair any brand of garage door or opener?
Yes, our team works on all major garage door and opener brands. With more than 25 years in the industry, we have seen a wide range of systems, from newer doors with modern openers to older setups that have been in a home for many years. You do not need to know the brand or model when you call. Just describe what is happening with the door, and we bring commonly needed parts to help keep most repairs on track. If your system uses a less common component, we will explain what we find and discuss the best way to move forward.
