Garage door fix/replace

I have an (automated) garage roller door. It is jamming up and is hard to open by hand and cannot be openned with the motor. I have had an attempt to fix it, but haven't had much progress.

Some quick investigation has suggested that most places charge $150 call out just to have a look at it. I don't want to pay that just to be told that they want to charge $X to replace it. So what I would like to know:

  • Has anyone had roller doors serviced in the Melbourne area? What did you pay? Where you happy with the service?

  • Has anyone had a roller door installed? What did you pay?

It is simple single door.

  • I don't expect that most service calls involve much more than just cleaning the runners and spraying on some more silicon spray lube (from h/w store). It's all I do a couple of times a year.
    Unless the door or frame has been damaged or warped this might be all you need.

    • There is more to it than that. When you open the door it is expanding out at the top rather than wrapping around. One of the supports to hold it agains the drum had half broken off. I reattached it, but there are still some alignment issues at least.
