Expert Garage Door Track Repair & Replacement in Corpus Christi, Texas

Why You Need a Pro to Fix Your Garage Door Tracks

A bent track might not seem like a big deal, but it causes a domino effect. When the tracks are off, your rollers wear out faster trying to force their way through. Your opener works harder and burns out sooner. The door can jam, come off completely, or even damage the panels.

Ignore it long enough and what started as a $150 track repair turns into a $800 multi-part replacement.

Hearing weird noises? Door moving jerky? See visible dents or bends in the tracks? Don't wait for it to get worse.

Our technicians handle track problems every day—from small adjustments to completely replacing bent or damaged sections. We'll get your door running smooth and safe again.

Call Corpus Garage Repair and we'll get someone out there, usually same day, to assess what's going on and fix it right.

Common Garage Door Track Issues We Fix

The Door Came Off the Track

This usually happens when a cable snaps, a roller breaks, or someone backs into the door. When it comes off, the door hangs crooked, gets jammed, or just won't budge at all.

Don't try forcing it back on yourself—you can bend the tracks worse or drop the door. We'll safely get it back on the rails, figure out what caused it, and fix that too so it doesn't happen again.

Bent Tracks

Bent tracks make that awful scraping, grinding sound when the door moves. You'll probably see visible dents or the door rubbing against the track. Sometimes one side moves faster than the other because the track's not straight anymore.

We'll check if we can straighten it or if the damage is too bad and needs replacing. Either way, we'll get your door moving smoothly and quietly again.

Full Track Replacement

Sometimes the tracks are just too worn out or damaged to fix. Maybe they're rusted through, bent in multiple spots, or the metal's worn so thin the rollers are cutting grooves.

When that's the case, we replace them. We use heavy-duty galvanized steel tracks that'll hold up way better than the builder-grade stuff most doors come with.

Before we start any work, we'll tell you exactly what it'll cost. Whether it's the vertical tracks, the horizontal section at the top, the curved part, or the whole system, you'll know the price upfront. No surprise bills.

Corpus Garage Repair handles track problems all day long. We've got the parts, we know what we're doing, and we'll get your door fixed right.

Call Corpus Garage Repair any time—day, night, weekends, doesn't matter. We'll get someone out there fast, usually within a few hours, to get your door working and your garage secured again.

Signs Your Tracks Need Repair

Here's what to look for:

Door's stuck or moving weird - One side goes up faster, it stops halfway, or it's just stuck completely. Usually means the tracks are bent or knocked out of alignment.

Making awful grinding noises - That metal-on-metal scraping sound means something's rubbing where it shouldn't. Often, it's rollers trying to force their way through bent tracks.

You can see gaps - Look at where the rollers sit in the tracks. If there's space between them, or the rollers look like they're barely hanging on, the tracks are probably misaligned or warped.

Door looks crooked - When it's closed, one side sits lower than the other, or when it's opening you can see it's not level. Dead giveaway the tracks are off.

It came completely off - This one's obvious, but if your door jumped the track, don't try forcing it back on. That's when people really mess things up.

Seeing any of these? Call Corpus Garage Repair before it gets worse. Track problems don't fix themselves—they just cause more damage the longer you wait.

Signs Your Garge Door Cables Are Failing

How Much Does Track Repair Cost?

Honestly? Depends on what's wrong.

Quick fix - Tracks just need adjusting or tightening? Maybe $100-$150. Takes us like 20 minutes.

Minor bends - We can straighten small dents for approximately $150-$250.

Replace a section - One piece of track is trashed, but the rest is fine? $200-$35,0 depending on which section.

Whole thing's shot - Need to replace all the tracks top to bottom? You're looking at $400-$700. More if it's a really big door or a weird custom setup.

Here's what makes it cost more:

• Bigger door = more expensive

• High-lift or custom tracks (the fancy kind) cost more than standard ones

• If other stuff broke when the track bent—rollers, brackets, whatever—that adds to it

We fix all kinds. Standard stuff, high-lift where you need extra headroom, those weird low-clearance setups, custom jobs. Seen it all.

Want a real number? Just call us. Describe what's going on, and we'll give you a ballpark. Or we come out, look at it, and tell you exactly what it'll cost. Then you decide.

No games, no surprises on the bill.

Should You Fix It Yourself?

Cleaning dirt out of your tracks and spraying some lubricant? Sure, go for it. That's basic maintenance anyone can handle.

But bending tracks back into place, realigning them, or replacing sections? That's a different story. Your garage door weighs hundreds of pounds, and it's connected to springs under crazy tension. If you knock something loose or the door shifts while you're working on it, you could get seriously hurt.

Plus, if you bend a track wrong, trying to straighten it, or misalign it even slightly, you just made the problem worse. Now you're paying someone to fix your fix.

Not worth it. Call Corpus Garage Repair and let us handle it. We've got the tools, we know what we're doing, and we won't end up in the ER.

Frequently Asked Questions About Track Repair

What bends tracks in the first place?

Usually someone backs into the door—happens more than you'd think. Or a cable snaps and throws everything off balance. Sometimes they just wear out over time from the door going up and down thousands of times. Even small bends get worse if you ignore them.

How long does it take to fix?

Most track jobs we knock out in an hour or two. If we need to replace entire sections or it's a complicated setup, it might take longer. We'll tell you upfront how long it should take.

Can I just do it myself?

You could try, but we really don't recommend it. Those tracks are holding up hundreds of pounds of door that's connected to springs under serious tension. One wrong move and the door drops, or a spring lets go, and now you're hurt. We've seen what happens when DIY track repairs go bad—not worth the risk or the hospital bill.

What kind of tracks do I need?

Depends on your door. How big is it? How heavy? How much space do you have between the top of the door and your ceiling? Standard setup? High-lift? We'll figure out what works for your specific garage and door.

Is it safe to keep using my door if the track's messed up?

No. Don't risk it. A damaged track can cause the door to jam, fall off completely, or come crashing down. Just makes things worse and way more expensive. Call us and we'll get it fixed before something breaks or someone gets hurt.
