What Customers Say About Our Spring & Cable Repair in Wilshire Square
Real reviews from Wilshire Square and nearby Santa Ana neighborhoods.
“The right extension spring let go at drop-off at 16:21 in Wilshire Square, so the minivan sat in the street. Wilshire Square bungalows with tired chain-drive motors (12:21, Wilshire Square). Urgent replaced the right extension spring and safety cable before the other side followed at 16:21. Quiet after ten.”
“I had a major issue with my garage door! The springs were broken, and the opener stopped working, so I couldnt get my car out. I called Urgent Garage Doors and they showed up fast and ready to help. Steve quickly replaced the broken springs and even fixed the opener on the spot. He explained everything clearly and made sure the door was running smoothly before leaving. Excellent service, fast response, and very professional. I highly recommend them!”
“Highly highly recommend this company! David the technician showed up an hour earlier the projected time! I had an issue with broken springs and he was very knowledgeable and helpful with giving me information of what needs to be replaced and doesnt force anything that I dont need. He was very friendly and very efficient with his work and was able to do in leas than an hour! You can just tell he knows what hes doing. I reached out to other companies and it was either they didnt have an availability or they required me to take photos and required more information. When i reached out to Davis and his company it was simple! They just asked what was broken and they will tell you when their next availability is. Im very happy with this company, service and their work! FYI: i called Saturday morning and he came out within an hour!”

Wilshire Square is not a historic district, but individual homes can be on the Santa Ana historic register. Check your address with the Planning Division at 714-647-5804 before ordering.
Yes. A tilt-up swings out as it lifts, so changing to a sectional door changes the track, springs and opener. Sectional garage door replacement typically runs $800 to $2,500 in Orange County.
Wood doors gain and lose weight with moisture, putting them out of balance against their springs, so the opener does the lifting. Door balancing and tension adjustment typically runs $75 to $150 in Orange County.
Santa Ana's published permit exemptions do not include doors, and garage door replacement is not on the city's same-day Express Permit list, so check with the Building Safety Division at 714-647-5800. If your property is on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties, exterior changes also need a Certificate of Appropriateness; the Planning Division at 714-647-5804 can confirm.
