A door hanging crooked is usually telling you a cable let go. The track is the symptom, not the cause.
No obligation. Takes 30 seconds.
Garage Door Repair Sunshine Coast is a local service on the Sunshine Coast for garage door off track & cables. Tell us what the door is doing and roughly where you are — coast, plain or range — and we'll send a technician who works that area.
Look at where the gap is. Higher on the left than the right means the left cable has gone. Both sides even but the door jammed halfway usually means a roller has left the track at a join, or a track has been bent by an impact.
That two-second look tells us more over the phone than any description of the noise it made.
Do not run the opener again to 'see if it'll go back'. With one cable live and one gone, every cycle drags the door further out of square and starts bending the panels.
A cable job is $150 to $350. A cable job plus two bent panels can be a new door. The difference can be three or four hopeful presses of the remote.
Pull the emergency release so the opener isn't holding anything, then leave the door exactly where it is. Don't try to level it by hand.
If it's stuck open and the garage connects to the house, that's a security issue worth saying on the phone — it changes how quickly we get there.
Cables corrode from the inside of the strand where you can't see it. A cable at Alexandra Headland or Golden Beach can look sound and still be at half strength.
It's the single best argument for having cables inspected at a service rather than waiting — it is the one failure that gives no warning at all.
Suburbs across the Sunshine Coast include:
The rows for this job, plus the service call. Every other job is on the full price guide.
| Job | Indicative price | What moves it |
|---|---|---|
| Service call / diagnosis | $90 – $180 | Visit and assessment. We tell you when you book whether it comes off the repair. |
| Cable replacement | $150 – $350 | Often done with the springs — they wear together. |
| Off-track / re-alignment | $150 – $400 | Usually a cable failure underneath it. |
Prices are indicative only. What a job costs depends on the door type, the part, and whether it can be repaired or replaced. We give you a fixed quote after we assess the door, before any work starts.
How these ranges were made: Compiled on 1 August 2026 from published Australian garage door repair prices, weighted to repair work rather than new installations. These are national ranges, not a survey of Sunshine Coast quotes, and no technician's quote is in them.
$150 to $400 for re-alignment where nothing else is damaged. A bent track, seized roller or damaged panel pushes it higher — panel replacement is $300 to $900+.
No. An off-track door is usually still under spring tension and can twist or drop without warning. It is also the repair where the cause matters — a snapped cable or seized roller put it there, and reseating it without fixing that guarantees a repeat.
Most often a cable failure, a roller that has seized, a bent track, or contact from a vehicle. We tell you which — 'it's back on' is not a diagnosis.
Won't open, won't close, or making a noise it didn't used to make.
