How can I tell if the problem is with my garage door opener or the door itself?
If your door is struggling to open or close but you hear the motor running, it could be an opener issue. If there are strange noises or the door is stuck unevenly, there may be a problem with other garage door parts like springs or tracks.

Are garage door repairs typically expensive?
The price of garage door repairs depends on the type of problem and parts involved. Simple repairs like adjusting a sensor cost less, while larger repairs like replacing springs or garage door openers may be more costly.

Is it better to replace the whole system or just the opener if there are issues?
If your garage door is still in good shape but the garage door opener has problems, replacing just the opener can be a good solution. However, if the door has multiple issues along with opener problems, it may be more cost-effective to consider a full system update.
