When you book garage door track repair in Fairfax, you get a tech who knows Marin County — Marin County reaches north from the Golden Gate across coastal hills, redwood canyons, and bayside towns. We serve Deer Park and Cascade Canyon and nearby San Anselmo, Ross, San Rafael, and Larkspur every day.
In California's Mediterranean climate region, warm, dry summers and cool, wet winters, moderated by long stretches of sunshine and modest rainfall. For Fairfax garages that translates into intense afternoon UV that dries out weather seals and bottom gaskets, fine road and yard grit that grinds rollers over time, and long dry spells that crack aging weatherstripping, so our tune-ups focus on the components that wear first under these conditions.
Across Deer Park and Cascade Canyon, what brings Fairfax homeowners to us is noisy, vibrating doors from loosened hardware, sun-faded, brittle weather seals along the bottom panel, broken torsion springs on high-cycle suburban doors, and opener logic-board failures after summer heat spikes — and we resolve it without a second visit.
Track repair covers the rails that guide the door's rollers from closed to fully open. Tracks bend from vehicle impact, twist from heavy door weight on under-spec rails, separate from masonry as anchors loosen, and rust from coastal exposure. A door with a damaged track doesn't roll smoothly — it binds, jumps the rail, or stops short. Track repair re-straightens, re-anchors, and where necessary replaces the bent section so the door tracks straight again.
We use a laser alignment tool to verify the track sits parallel to its mate within tolerance. Eyeballing tracks for plumb is unreliable; the laser catches twist and tilt that the eye misses. After alignment, brackets are re-anchored to manufacturer torque spec — under-torqued brackets are a slow-motion failure waiting to happen.
Bent sections that can't be straightened are replaced from stock. We carry 2-inch and 3-inch tracks in galvanized steel and the bracket families for the major door brands. Most track repairs are completed in 60–90 minutes. Severely damaged tracks from major impact may require partial track replacement and a roller inspection (impact often damages the rollers and panel mounts simultaneously).
Roller comes out of the channel mid-travel. Stop using the door — the next cycle could leave the door off-track entirely.
Visible bend or kink in the track
Vehicle impact, ladder strike, or shelf collapse against the track all cause visible bends. Repair before continued operation.
Door makes scraping or grinding sound
Track misalignment or roller bind causes audible scraping. Often easy to fix in the early stage; expensive to fix after the rollers also damage.
Track separating from wall
Brackets pulling loose from masonry or framing show as gaps between the track and the wall. Re-anchor before track shifts further.
Door uneven side-to-side
If one side of the door is higher than the other when fully closed, one track may have settled or shifted.
Common causes & what we fix
Vehicle impact
Backing into the door or sliding the car into the open track is the most common cause of bent rails. Often comes with associated panel damage.
Bracket anchor failure
Anchors pull from masonry or framing over years of cycle vibration. Re-anchoring to fresh holes restores hold.
Rust through
Coastal corrosion eats through track bottom where water pools. Replacement section with galvanized track stops the progression.
Under-spec track for door weight
Builder installs occasionally pair light-gauge track with heavy doors. The track flexes over time and develops bend.
Settling building
Foundation movement shifts walls and the brackets that anchor to them. Tracks twist as a result.

Frequently asked about garage door track repair

We treat all of it as one service area — Fairfax and neighbors like San Anselmo, Ross, San Rafael, and Larkspur — with trucks staged to keep dispatch times short and the same flat-rate pricing in every community.
What's the most common garage door problem in Fairfax?
In Fairfax it is usually noisy, vibrating doors from loosened hardware — and because the area has mainly suburban houses with attached two-car garages, mixed with some older central-neighborhood homes, we also see a lot of sun-faded, brittle weather seals along the bottom panel. Both are stocked on the truck, so most repairs are one and done.
How long does track repair take?
Most jobs: 60–90 minutes. Full track replacement (rare): 2–3 hours. Includes alignment verification and a balance test.
Should I replace tracks during a door replacement?
Yes — new doors should always be paired with new tracks and brackets. Reusing old tracks is a false economy that limits the new door's life.
Are galvanized tracks worth the upgrade?
In coastal zones — yes, almost always. Inland — standard tracks are fine. We default to galvanized within 5 miles of the coast.
Will the door work after repair?
Yes — we don't leave until the door cycles fully and smoothly with no binding. Photo-eye, force, and balance are all verified before we go.
