WHAT THE TUNE-UP COVERS

  • Lubrication

    Hinges, rollers, spring coils, and torsion bar bearings. High-temp formula built for Texas summer heat.

  • Balance Correction

    Spring tension adjusted until the door holds at mid-travel. Prevents opener motor strain and premature spring failure.

  • Hardware Tightening

    Every bolt, bracket, and hinge mount checked. Vibration from 1,000-plus annual cycles loosens hardware over time.

  • Safety Testing

    Photo-eye sensors cleaned and aligned. Auto-reverse verified. Opener force limits calibrated for door weight.

TUNE-UP VS. INSPECTION: THE DIFFERENCE

An Inspection Finds Problems. A Tune-Up Fixes Them.

A safety inspection walks through the door, documents what is wearing out, and hands you a report. That report is useful for real estate transactions, insurance requirements, or understanding your door's condition. But the door leaves exactly as it arrived. No lubricant applied. No spring tension adjusted. No hardware tightened.

A tune-up performs the maintenance work. Hinges that were running dry get lubricated. Bolts loosened by 1,000-plus annual operation cycles get torqued back to spec. A spring that has lost tension and is making your opener work harder gets adjusted until the door balances at mid-travel. Photo-eye lenses coated with Austin's cedar pollen and dust get cleaned. The opener force limits get recalibrated to match the door's corrected weight so it does not strain on every cycle.

Torsion springs are under 150 to 200 pounds of stored energy. That is the part of the tune-up that requires a licensed technician. Adjusting spring tension without proper winding bars and training causes serious injury. Every other part of the tune-up, the lubrication and the hardware tightening, is mechanical. The spring adjustment is what earns the service call.

  • Torsion spring adjustment, the high-risk task that requires a licensed technician
  • High-temp lubricant formulated to survive Texas garage temperatures
  • Opener force calibration matched to the corrected door weight
  • 90-day workmanship warranty on all adjustments performed

  • I had “Pros On Call” change the locks on my home that I recently purchased. It was easy to get a hold of them, they made an appointment quickly and did a great job for a fair price. I had them come out about two weeks later and put a deadbolt lock on my front door as well and again - easy to get a hold of, they had to order an aged bronze deadbolt lock 🔐 but once it arrived they came out quickly, did a great job, were neat and it was a fair price. I highly recommend “Pros On Call” for all of your Locksmith needs! 5 Stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ for sure!!

  • It sucks they charge an inconvenience fee of 49.00. Which I wish you would have mentioned this on our intial call. Transparency would have been to say hey we charge an inconvenience fee. Never once was this mentioned. When we spoke with the representative all she said was the locksmith will call you with a price. Never once did she say we take your payment info so we can charge you an inconvenience fee. If that was mentioned then this would have been handled differently. She made it seem like we need a card on file to help. Then they attempted to debit my card twice for two separate transactions for 49.00. I understand you run a business. But transparency is key. I specifically asked her what I would be charged for never once did she mention this. Lesson learned. Update***she reached out in regards to my Google review. Although I attempted to resolve per phone call. Shameless.

  • I had Zach come out to the property that I purchased out in Luling, Texas. It’s about 10 acres, and it has a garage with a corroded lock. Out of all the companies I have called, which is roughly 5 to 6. He was able to take my call, head out the next day, and take care of the corroded lock I need fixed on my property. He was extremely professional and helped me by giving me instructions on how to operate the lock as well! I’m in the military and not able to be in the area, so he was very understanding and professional. Highly recommend!

  • Their response time was great. Orlando did a great job. No replacement parts were needed and repairs took an hour. I was badly disappointed at the high bill, even with a military discount. Maybe that is why I couldn’t get an approximate estimate before Orlando came. Bottom line : good work, too expensive

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How often should a residential garage door be tuned up in Texas?

Twice a year works well for most Texas homes. Schedule one in April or May before summer heat arrives, and one in October or November before winter cold snaps. Texas garages reach 110 to 120 degrees Fahrenheit in summer, which evaporates lubricant faster than moderate climates. The daily temperature swing of 40 degrees or more from morning to afternoon stresses metal components and loosens hardware. Doors with heavy use, four-plus cycles daily, or more than ten years of service benefit from the twice-yearly schedule.


What does a tune-up include that a safety inspection does not?

A safety inspection identifies problems and documents door condition, but no maintenance work is performed. A tune-up performs the work: lubricating all hinges, rollers, and spring coils; tightening every bolt and bracket loosened by a year of vibration; adjusting spring tension until the door holds in place at mid-travel; calibrating opener force limits to match the corrected door weight; and cleaning photo-eye lenses and tracks. You call us for an inspection to get a written report. You call us for a tune-up to have the door serviced.


Can you do repairs during the tune-up if worn parts are found?

Minor adjustments are included: sensor realignment, minor track corrections, force limit calibration. Major repairs require a separate quote, and you decide whether to proceed that visit or schedule a return. Common items found during tune-up that lead to same-visit repairs include nylon roller upgrades (80 to 120 dollars), bottom weatherstripping replacement (40 to 80 dollars), and cable tension correction. Spring replacement, which runs 200 to 400 dollars, requires scheduling because of the specialized equipment involved. We carry parts on the service vehicle and will tell you what we found before touching anything extra.


How long does a residential garage door tune-up take?

The Basic Tune-Up takes about 45 minutes. The Full Annual Tune-Up, which includes balance testing and spring tension adjustment, runs 55 to 65 minutes. The Premium Tune-Up, which adds spring coil lubrication with high-temp silicone and a written service log, takes 75 to 90 minutes on a door that has not been serviced in several years. Time extends when hardware has not been touched in five or more years and needs more cleaning before components can be properly assessed.


Is DIY lubrication enough, or do I need professional service?

You can safely lubricate hinges and rollers with a garage-door-specific spray lubricant and clean the track channel with a rag. That covers basic maintenance. The work that requires a professional involves spring tension adjustment. Torsion springs operate under 150 to 200 pounds of stored energy. Adjusting them incorrectly causes injury. Force limit calibration on the opener also requires running controlled test cycles and checking both open and close directions. A reasonable approach: lubricate the door yourself every three to four months, and schedule professional tune-up service twice a year for balance testing and opener calibration.


Do you serve Cedar Park, Round Rock, and other Austin suburbs for tune-up service?

Yes. From our Central Austin dispatch we cover Cedar Park, Round Rock, Pflugerville, Georgetown, Leander, Kyle, Buda, San Marcos, and 36 Texas markets total. MoPac and I-35 routing is factored into our dispatch. Most Central Texas locations get same-day or next-day appointments for non-emergency maintenance. Call and we confirm your area and availability immediately.


What does a garage door tune-up cost?

The Basic Tune-Up is 99 dollars and covers lubrication, hardware tightening, sensor cleaning, and safety testing. The Full Annual Tune-Up is 149 dollars and adds spring tension adjustment, opener force calibration, track alignment verification, and weatherstripping inspection. The Premium Tune-Up is 179 dollars and adds spring coil lubrication with high-temp silicone, a written service log with recommended replacement timeline for wear items, and priority scheduling for any follow-on repairs. All quotes are provided before work begins.


Will the tune-up make my garage door quieter?

In most cases, yes. Dry rollers dragging against the track generate the grinding or scraping sound that is most common in Austin homes with older doors. Lubrication typically reduces operating noise 70 to 90 percent on steel-roller doors. For the quietest result, ask about upgrading to nylon rollers during the tune-up visit. Nylon rollers are 90 percent quieter than steel and cost 80 to 120 dollars added to the tune-up. Combined with belt-drive opener replacement, nylon rollers make even a large two-car door nearly silent, which matters for Austin homes with a bedroom or living space above the garage.
