What Salt Lake City Homeowners Say
"My 25 year old motor finally went out. I called Universal Garage Door in the afternoon and they were able to schedule for the next morning. The person I talked to was very accommodating. Jose, the tech, showed up a few minutes early and updated everything with new motor, spring, rollers, cables, sensor, and controls. Just what I needed and what a difference. Very quick, professional, and pleasant!"
"Very quick response, excellent customer service. Jose was knowledgeable and skilled. He showed up on time as was completely prepared to manage and service our broken spring, as well as other service issues that we needed on our 24 year old doors. Complete, knowledgeable and competent service as well as timely made it well worth it. We would highly recommend Universal Door Services and especially Jose!!"
"I was lucky to get a same day garage door repair after the spring and cables broke from age. Jose, the repairman, was friendly and informative about the process of repair and the workings of the door and opener system. We're grateful to be able to open our garage door again. I didn't compare pricing, but the cost seemed fair. I would use them again."

Frequently Asked Garage Door Questions
How fast can a technician arrive for an emergency garage door repair?
We offer 24/7 emergency dispatch across the Wasatch Front. If you are located within 50 miles of Salt Lake City, our technicians typically arrive the same day, and we always provide a courtesy phone call 30 minutes prior to arrival.
Why did my garage door spring suddenly snap?
Garage door springs are rated by cycles (one cycle = one open and close). High-quality residential springs last approximately 10,000 cycles, or roughly 8 to 12 years. Utah's severe winter freezes and summer heat can accelerate metal fatigue until the spring breaks.
Is it safe to open a garage door with a broken spring or cable?
No. A garage door can weigh between 150 to 400+ pounds. Without counterbalance springs, attempting to lift the door manually or with an opener can burn out the motor, snap the remaining cables, or cause the heavy door to crash down, risking severe injury.
Do you offer warranties on parts and labor?
Yes! Universal Garage Door Services provides warranties on all torsion and extension springs, as well as installed hardware. Our service promise is straightforward: if we make a repair and that issue quickly returns, we return to fix it free of charge.
What brands of garage doors and smart openers do you service and install?
We service all major garage door makes and models. For new doors, we are authorized installers for Clopay, Amarr, Martin Door, and Wayne Dalton. For openers, we specialize in LiftMaster smart myQ systems, Genie, and Chamberlain.
How much does a garage door repair or replacement cost in Salt Lake City?
We provide upfront, transparent pricing with no hidden fees and free on-site estimates before any work begins. Most common repairs (springs, cables, roller replacements) are completed on the spot during our initial visit with parts stocked in our trucks.
