Garage door motor repairs on Centurion, Digidoor and DC Blue motors, by Centurion and Digidoor certified repairers with over 20 years of experience. Family-run since 2002 by Franz and Wendy.
We carry a large stock of garage door motor parts with us all the time, including batteries in the different sizes. So we can repair your motor quickly, without running back and forth for parts and leaving your property vulnerable for longer than necessary.
Before we replace any part, we contact you to tell you what the damage is and what it will cost. The parts we fit come from the motor's own manufacturer. We don't use third-party parts.
We know these motors very well, so we find the problem quickly and spend less time at your home, which keeps the cost down.

The motor is dead, but the power is on. Check the battery first. Older motors such as the Centurion SDO4 run off their battery all the time, so a worn-out battery stops them even when the power is on. Newer motors, including the SDO5, keep working on mains power, but stop during power cuts if the battery is worn.
The motor runs, but the door doesn't move or stops halfway. Often a broken spring or a snapped cable has made the door too heavy for the motor to lift. Stop using the motor, because it can burn out, and see garage door repairs.
The motor keeps breaking. A door in poor condition makes the motor take strain. Missed services and lightning are other common causes.
An old motor. A well-maintained motor usually lasts about 10–15 years. If repairing yours no longer makes sense, we'll say so, and we can fit a new garage door motor.
WhatsApp us a photo or short video of your motor and garage door, call us, or use the form below. We normally reply within 2–3 business hours.
We tell you what's wrong and what it will cost before any work starts. Quotes from photos are free. If we need to see the motor first, we only charge a callout fee if you don't accept the quote.
We're usually on site within a day, with parts and batteries on board. Your repair has a 3-month on-site warranty.
Your garage door must be in good working condition for your motor to last as long as possible. So while we're repairing your motor, we offer you a garage door service. If we find anything wrong with the door, we contact you before we do any repairs.
