For many Salt Lake City homeowners, the garage door is the most used entrance to the home. It’s a complex system of high-tension springs, cables, and motorized parts that we often take for granted—until it stops working.
While it’s tempting to put off minor squeaks or slow movement, ignoring these early warning signs usually leads to much more expensive repairs down the road. At AAA Garage Door Inc., we believe in proactive maintenance. That’s why we are currently offering a comprehensive $49 Garage Door Safety Inspection to help our Utah neighbors stay ahead of costly breakdowns.

The Real Cost of “Waiting Until It Breaks”
Putting off a garage door repair is rarely a “money-saving” move. A worn-out roller or a slightly frayed cable is an inexpensive fix today. However, if that cable snaps, it puts immense strain on your garage door opener and the opposite spring. What could have been a double-digit service call can quickly turn into a $500+ emergency replacement of the entire spring system and motor.
Common Signs Your Garage Door Needs Professional Attention
- The “Grind” or “Screech”: Metal-on-metal sounds usually mean parts are out of alignment or lack proper lubrication.
- The Mid-Point Hesitation: If your door pauses or jerks halfway through opening, your springs are likely losing tension.
- Uneven Hanging: A door that looks crooked when closed is a major safety hazard, indicating a failing cable.
- Slow Response Time: If your motor is struggling to lift the door, it’s working overtime and is prone to burnout.
What’s Included in the $49 AAA Inspection?
Our $49 “In-the-Door” inspection isn’t just a visual check. It’s a comprehensive health assessment designed to find legitimate issues before they become emergencies. We look at:
- Spring Tension & Balance: Ensuring your door isn’t too heavy for the motor.
- Safety Sensor Alignment: Keeping your family and pets safe.
- Hardware Tightening: Utah’s temperature swings can loosen bolts and tracks.
- Lubrication of Moving Parts: Reducing friction to extend the life of your system.
Why Choose a Local Family-Owned Business Over National Chains?
In Utah, you’ll see many national garage door brands with dozens of “locations” that are often just digital storefronts. AAA Garage Door Inc. is different. We are a highly-rated, family-owned business. When you call us, you aren’t talking to a national call center—you’re talking to local experts who care about our reputation in the Salt Lake Valley and beyond. We provide honest recommendations and fair pricing without the massive corporate overhead.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is a $49 inspection really worth it?
A: Absolutely. It is the most cost-effective way to prevent a “trapped car” scenario. By identifying worn parts early, you save hundreds on emergency labor and parts.
Q: How often should I have my garage door inspected in Utah?
A: Due to our extreme temperature shifts between summer and winter, we recommend a professional inspection at least once a year to ensure the metal components haven’t contracted or shifted.
Q: Can I just repair the garage door springs myself?
A: We strongly advise against DIY spring repairs. Garage door springs are under extreme tension and can cause serious injury or death if handled without the proper tools and training.
Q: Why is AAA Garage Door Inc. rated higher than larger competitors?
A: Because we live here. Our technicians aren’t incentivized by corporate quotas; they are incentivized by providing a quality repair that earns a 5-star review and a customer for life.
