Garage Door Repair in University City

University City splits into two halves at Rose Canyon: 1960s and 1970s single-family streets around Governor Drive to the south, and condos, townhomes and apartments around UTC and UC San Diego to the north. South side owners call about springs and openers that have worked for decades. Up north, landlords and managers call when a tenant moves out and the garage door, remote or keypad stops cooperating.

Spring repair in University City from $229

What raises the price: heavy wood or oversized doors, high-cycle or galvanized springs, two doors in one visit.

Homes and garage doors in University City

South of Rose Canyon, the homes off Governor Drive, Genesee Avenue and Regents Road went up in the 1960s and 1970s with attached two-car garages. A few original one-piece tilt-ups remain, but most have given way to steel sectionals on torsion or extension springs. North of the canyon, the condos and townhomes built around UTC from the 1980s into the 2000s often use tandem garages, where two cars park nose to tail behind a single door, and some complexes line up several units' doors under one building. Associations there set door color and style, and many units near UC San Diego are rentals with frequent turnover.

Getting to you in University City

University City lies between I-5 and I-805 above SR-52. Rose Canyon runs between its two halves, and Marian Bear Memorial Park follows San Clemente Canyon along SR-52 on the south edge. For south side calls we leave I-805 at Governor Drive or SR-52 at Regents Road or Genesee Avenue and work outward from Standley Park. North side jobs come off I-5 or I-805 at Nobel Drive or La Jolla Village Drive, near Westfield UTC and the UTC Transit Center at the north end of the Blue Line trolley. Both halves are 15 to 20 minutes from downtown, with La Jolla and Clairemont on either side.

What your University City appointment looks like

  1. Call, text or send the form

    Tell us your University City address, single or double door and what it is doing. A photo of the door turns that into a firm price on the spot.

  2. We come to you

    The truck carries torsion and extension springs, cables, drums, rollers, hinges, sensors, remotes and belt-drive openers, so one visit finishes the job.

  3. Springs in, door balanced, opener set

    We fit the parts, balance the door by hand and set the opener travel and force. About an hour for most spring jobs.

  4. You run the door

    You open and close it yourself before we pack up. Payment is on completion.

University City questions

I rent out a UTC condo with a tandem garage. What should I check on the garage door between tenants?

Clear the opener's memory and reprogram only the remotes you hand to the new tenant, so old remotes stop working, and change the keypad code. Run the door and watch for a blinking sensor LED, since photo eyes in a tandem garage can get knocked by bikes and boxes stored by the door. Look at the springs and cables for gaps or fraying. We can cover all of it in one turnover visit.

My house in south University City still has its 1970s garage door. Should I repair it or replace it?

If the sections are sound and the door balances, repair it. New springs, cables, rollers and hinges bring an older steel sectional back into steady service, and on a one-piece tilt-up the pivot hardware and extension springs are still available for most doors. Replace it when sections are cracked, rusted through or badly dented. A new garage door is a job for a licensed contractor, and we will tell you when it is time.

Our UTC townhome association controls how the garage doors look. Do repairs need board approval?

Repairs that leave the door looking the same generally do not: springs, cables, rollers, an opener, sensors or a keypad. A new door, a different color or a section that does not match is the kind of change University City associations usually review, so check your CC&Rs first. When a dented section needs replacing, we order it to match the make, model, color and panel design so the row of doors stays uniform.

The FAQ page has more answers, the pricing page has every rate, and the contact page takes a photo of the door.
