What counts as a garage door emergency
A door stuck open overnight, a car trapped inside before work, a door hanging crooked or off its track, a snapped cable, or a door that will not close after a break-in attempt.
If the door is unsafe to leave or keeps your car in, call. If it is noisy but working, a regular visit is usually the better fit.
When you call
- Your address and the nearest cross street.
- Whether the door is stuck open, stuck closed, or crooked.
- Whether a car is trapped inside.
- Anything you heard: a bang, grinding, or the opener running with no movement.

Make it safe while you wait
Stop using the opener. Keep people and pets out from under the door. Do not pull the release cord on a door that is crooked, off track, or has a broken spring, because the door can drop or swing out of the opening.
If the door is stuck open and you need to secure the house, lock the door between the garage and the home.

What we fix on an emergency visit
Broken springs, snapped or slipped cables, doors off the track, bent sections that keep the door from closing, failed openers, and damaged sensors.

Questions
Emergency repair questions in Santa Cruz
What to check, what to leave alone, and how the visit runs.
Do you answer emergency calls at night in Santa Cruz?
Yes. The Capitola line, (831) 282-8312, takes calls 24/7. We tell you the earliest time we can be there.
My door is stuck open. Can I close it myself?
If the door is straight and the springs are intact, you can pull the release and lower it slowly by hand. If it is crooked, off track, or has a broken spring, leave it and call us.
My car is trapped. What should I do?
Do not force the door or drive into it. Call, tell us the car is inside, and we plan the visit around getting it out.
Does an emergency visit cost more?
The price depends on the repair and the time of the call. We quote before work starts, so you decide before anything is done.
Do you cover emergencies in Capitola, Soquel, and Aptos too?
Yes. Emergency calls across Santa Cruz County go to the Capitola line at (831) 282-8312.
