A garage door that slams shut in Flint has lost the spring tension that controls its descent — a serious safety issue we treat as urgent.

Living with Flint's freezing winters means garage doors work harder here than most people realize. summer storms surge openers and road salt corrodes hardware both feed straight into a garage door slams shut, which is why our Genesee County techs treat the cause, not just the door in front of them.
