Your garage door motor, often called a "lifter" is the key component in the system. The springs counter-balance the weight of the door panels, but it's the motor that actually does most of the work when the door is opening or closing.
Most motors are built to give you years of reliable service, but as with any mechanical device, at some point they just wear out.
Electric motors are complicated pieces of machinery. As a practical matter, there's no rational reason to try to "repair" the motor. The time/labor involved in removing and installing a new motor is exactly the same as what is involved in removing and installing a motor that has been repaired. The big difference in cost is the expense of actually rebuilding the motor. A brand new motor is ready to install right out of the box. The cost of rebuilding a motor is nowhere near cost effective and the garage door would have to be manually opened for a week or two while the motor was being rebuilt. It just makes no sense to rebuild the garage door opener instead of just swapping it for a brand new one. That's why no reputable garage door repair company in Stockton will "repair" a garage door motor.
