Like most mechanical devices that are used on a daily basis, garage door motors will eventually require some kind of maintenance or repair and eventually replacement.

Automatic Garage Solutions are a trusted, authorised Merlin representative. We will assess your requirements and choose the best garage motor replacement depending on whether you have a single or double spaced garage and how old your garage door is. We will also assess your individual requirements when choosing an appropriate garage door opener to make sure you get the best result.

Once we’ve done our initial inspection we will advise you whether or not we need to replace the motor or if we can simply repair your existing motor, potentially saving you money if replacement is not necessary. All new products come with full manufacturer warranty.
