When a garage door opener replacement makes more sense than another repair

An opener that keeps failing after repeated fixes — stripped gears, a burned-out motor, a board that won't hold a program — is an opener that's past the point where patching individual parts pays off. Once the internal gears or the circuit board go, most replacement parts cost close to what a new opener runs, and a new unit gets a fresh motor, fresh sensors and a fresh warranty instead of one more short-term fix.
