Quick answer
The price depends on the spring system, the door's weight, the cycle rating you choose and whether anything else broke. Summit gives you a written price on site, free, before any work starts. See garage door spring repair for what the visit includes.
A broken spring is the single most common garage door repair we book, so it is also the price people ask about most. The honest answer depends on four things: the spring system, the door's weight, the cycle rating you choose, and whether anything else broke when the spring did.

Spring jobs we quote
The spring jobs we quote most — each priced in writing on site:
- Torsion pair, standard 10,000-cycle
- Torsion pair, high-cycle galvanised
- Extension springs with safety cables
- Extension-to-torsion conversion
After-hours dispatch adds a call-out premium — see emergency garage door repair.
Why two doors cost different amounts
- Door weight. An insulated double door can need springs twice the wire size of a single uninsulated door.
- Cycle rating. High-cycle springs cost more once and typically last about twice as long — read whether high-cycle springs are worth it.
- Coastal specification. Galvanised or coated springs resist the salt air that shortens spring life near the coast.
- Collateral damage. A spring that broke under load can take cables, drums or the opener gear with it.
Why springs are always replaced in pairs
Both springs on a door have done the same number of cycles. Replacing only the broken one leaves you with a second failure within months and an unbalanced door in the meantime, which wears the opener. Paying for the pair once is cheaper than two call-outs.
What a fair quote includes
A proper quote names the wire size and cycle rating, includes balancing the door afterwards, resetting the opener's force limits and a safety-reverse test. If any of that is missing, ask. More on the whole job in what to do when a garage door spring breaks.
