1. Professional Garage Door Spring Repair
Garage door springs are available in two types. You can have torsion springs or extension
springs. Overtime, they'll inevitably become ruined and you'll need a garage door spring repair
specialist to get it done based on the kind you have placed in your garage.
Torsion springs are the most unsafe kind. They are wound up on a rod over the opening of the
door. There are two of them; one on each side of the door's center. Often, when one is ruined, the
other follows within a short period of time, so it's generally advised that both should be replaced
even if there's only one of them broken. This saves you from using another Garage Door spring

Looking back, this was a blessing. If I would have had unlimited funds I probably would have
spent thousands of dollars on a lot of the wrong equipment when starting out. In my case being
short on startup money was a good thing.
Most likely when you're first getting started you'll be the only employee. The first person you
should hire will be a helper. Because when you're trying to build the business and fix cars at the
same time it can get overwhelming.
When you have a helper you can have him or her do menial tasks that will free up a lot time for
you to do more important things. Not to mention you won't be totally exhausted by the end of the
day. And you'll make more money in the long run.
One thing to never cut corners with is your business accounting. Hire a good bookkeeper and pay
your bills on time. Especially your taxes and your parts suppliers. You just don't want trouble
with the government. Or getting parts.
As a young mechanic I frequently dreamed about owning my own shop someday. It wasn't till I
had about 15 years experience as a professional mechanic that I really started to seriously
consider starting my own business.
When I finally decided it was time, I started reading books like Gorilla Marketing by Jay
Levinson and Small Time Operator by Bernard B. Kamoroff. And I started planning what
equipment I needed to buy and how I was going to finance it.
The key to starting your own shop is planning. I spent a couple of years planning and gathering
shop equipment before I ever opened the doors. Back then I read somewhere that small
businesses that planned at least 18 months prior to opening had the best chance of success.
Extension springs, according to professionals, are less risky and Easier to Repair. This is the type
that runs along the upper, right and left door tracks. Still, safety measures should always be
observed. Carrying a great amount of tension, they can be stretched to be potentially fatal as they

type of garage door spring successfully, it is sensible to determine your own skill relative to the
demands that this job would impose. If you have any doubts at all, it would be best to call a
