How much do garage door repairs cost in Metro Vancouver?
Most single-part repairs in Metro Vancouver run $100 to $700 before tax, and a new single steel door $1,500 to $2,500. These are market ranges gathered from published price pages, not a quote for your door.
| Repair or charge | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Torsion spring, one spring replaced | $200 to $380 |
| Torsion springs, matched pair | $350 to $700 |
| Extension springs, pair | $350 to $600 |
| Lift cables, pair | $150 to $350 |
| Rollers, full set | $50 to $220 |
| Off-track door, track realignment | $100 to $350 |
| Opener repair (sensors, gears, logic board) | $150 to $350 |
| One damaged panel replaced (Canada-wide figure) | $350 to $900 |
| Tune-up visit | $100 to $180 |
| Service-call or diagnostic fee | $45 to $100 at some companies, often waived if the repair goes ahead |
| After-hours or weekend charge | $165 to $250 added by some companies; others do not publish a surcharge |
Where these ranges come from: price pages published in 2026 by four Metro Vancouver garage door companies and one Lower Mainland price site, HomeStars Canada's 2026 cost guides, and one Alberta price list used as a cross-check on rows with thin local data (rollers, tune-ups, fees). All checked October 2026, before tax. They are market ranges, not our prices; your price depends on the door and the parts it needs.
A plain note on the data: the roller and track figures come from fewer sources than the spring, cable and opener rows. The panel figure is a Canada-wide number from HomeStars, because no Metro Vancouver price page listed one.

What makes one repair cost more than another?
Spring size, spring type and how many springs the door uses move the price more than anything else. Published price lists tie the pair price to spring size, and heavy-duty springs cost more than standard ones.
Extension springs, which stretch along the tracks, usually cost less in parts than torsion springs, but the labour is about the same. Door size shows most in the new-door rows, where a double door costs well above a single.
Some companies publish labour-only prices and quote parts separately, so two numbers that look far apart can be closer once parts are added. Evening and weekend visits and hauling away an old door are the other common additions. For spring sizes and signs of a break, see the garage door spring repair page.
Do garage door companies charge a service-call fee?
Some do. Ask before the visit is booked. A service-call or diagnostic fee pays for the visit to find the fault. Companies that charge one often drop it when you go ahead with the repair.
Evening and weekend work varies the same way: some Metro Vancouver companies publish a set charge and others publish none. If your door is stuck open at night, the emergency garage door repair page covers what to do when a door won't close.
Should I repair my garage door or replace it?
Weigh the repair quote against the door's age and the price of a new door. InterNACHI's life expectancy chart puts garage doors at 20 to 25 years and openers at 10 to 15 years.
On a door well inside that span, a spring, cable or roller repair costs a small share of a new door. On a door near the end of it, set the repair quote beside the new-door rows above. Then decide whether the money is better spent on the old door or a new one.
According to HomeStars, replacing a door in the same opening generally does not need a permit in Canada. Widening the opening or changing the header usually does. Check with your municipality before you plan a bigger change.

Call (604) 216-9380How do I compare garage door repair quotes?
Compare any quote on what it includes, not only the total. Whoever you ask, including us, these questions make the numbers line up.
- Which parts are included, and is the price parts and labour or labour only?
- For spring work, are both springs replaced as a matched pair? Replacing them together keeps the door balanced.
- Is a high-cycle spring offered? A standard torsion spring is rated about 10,000 cycles, which is roughly 7 years at four opens and closes a day. High-cycle springs are rated higher.
- Is removal of the old door or old parts included?
- Is the price before or after GST and PST?
Garage door cost questions
What hidden costs come with a garage door repair?
The extras that most often surprise people are the separate charges in the repairs table. They are a diagnostic fee, an evening or weekend charge and old door disposal. On a new opener, add-ons such as Wi-Fi control, battery backup or a camera raise the price above the base unit, according to HomeStars.
Is a broken garage door cable worth fixing?
On a door in good shape, a cable pair costs far less than a new door, so repair is the usual first look. Cables work under the same stored spring tension as the springs. Door safety bodies such as DASMA and the US Consumer Product Safety Commission advise leaving that work to someone trained for it. The cable repair page covers cable and off-track problems.
Can I replace one damaged panel instead of the whole door?
Yes, a single panel is priced as its own job. HomeStars puts vinyl panels at the low end and insulated steel and wood panels at the high end of its Canada-wide range. If the damaged door is old, it is worth getting a new-door price at the same time.
Do all garage door companies charge similar prices?
No. The price pages behind this guide differ by hundreds of dollars for the same job, often because some list labour only and add parts later. Whoever you ask, including us, check three things: does the price include parts and labour, are both springs replaced, and is it before tax? Those answers make any price easy to compare.
