How much it costs to fix a misaligned garage door depends on cause of misalignment, extent of damage, and whether other components need replacement, but typical professional repair costs are affordable. For simple misalignment where tracks have become loose and door is crooked but tracks not severely bent and springs and cables intact, professional realignment costs 125 to 300 dollars, including service call fee of 75 to 150 dollars plus labor to loosen track mounting bolts, plumb and align tracks, guide rollers back into tracks, retighten bolts, and test balance and opener operation. If misalignment is caused by worn or damaged rollers that need replacement, add 100 to 200 dollars for full roller set replacement. If caused by bent tracks from being hit by car, straightening tracks costs 150 to 400 dollars, while replacing a pair of vertical tracks costs 200 to 500 dollars. If caused by broken cable that caused uneven lifting, cable replacement adds 100 to 250 dollars, bringing total to 250 to 500 dollars. If caused by broken spring causing door to be heavy on one side, spring replacement adds 200 to 400 dollars for one and 300 to 600 dollars for pair, bringing total to 350 to 700 dollars. Factors increasing cost include heavy wood doors, emergency service adding 50 to 100 dollars, and commercial doors. DIY realignment costs only tools but risky as door heavy and can fall.
