    The little photo eye sensors at the bottom of your garage door tracks are responsible for safety — they reverse the door if anything's in the way. When they're misaligned, dirty, or damaged, your door won't close. We repair and align garage door sensors same-day across Evansville and Indiana, Kentucky & Illinois.

    What This Service Costs
