Quick answers
Is my garage door opener too old?
Openers made before the early 1990s may not have the safety reverse features required today. If yours lacks photo eyes, replacing it's worth considering.
What should I tell the company?
Describe what the door is doing, the opener brand if you know it and whether you heard a bang. If you know the door's approximate age or brand, that helps too.
Is a dented panel worth fixing?
Small dents can often be left alone. Larger ones that affect operation may need a panel replacement. Dents near hinges or the bottom section can affect how the door rides on its track.

Quick note on how this works: VendorReach passes requests along and doesn't do repairs. An outside garage door company quotes the job, does the work and stands behind it. Talk through the estimate before anything gets taken apart. The pro gives you a price before any work starts, and it's your call whether to go ahead.
