Katy RosserA few weeks ago, I was on my way out to grab groceries before my in-laws arrived for dinner. I hit the garage door opener and the door rose four inches, made a sound like a dying whale, then froze.
What followed was the special circle of hell reserved for garage repair emergencies. The first company I called doubled the price upon arrival, and the second company didn’t show up. It was a frustrating experience—one I wouldn’t wish on anyone.
After that mess, I knew I couldn’t go through it again—and neither should you. So, my team and I set out to find reliable garage door repair shops in Auckland that actually show up, do the job right, and don’t play games with pricing.
How much does it cost to get a garage door repaired in Auckland?
It costs at least 150 NZD for basic garage door repair in Auckland. This is just an estimate. The actual cost will depend on the type of repair, the parts required, and more.
1. Knight Garage Doors
Contact Details:+64 22 401 1268
Operating Hours: Open 24 Hours
The peace of mind Knigh Garage Doors offers really stood out to us while researching. Their garage door service is covered by an impressive 730-day workmanship guarantee, which you don’t always see in repair shops.
If anything goes wrong due to their work within two years, they’ll come back and fix it for free—no questions asked.
Their team is also trained Site Safe members. If something isn’t up to standard, they sort it out that same day.
We were also impressed by the customer service. You can call them at any time of day and get a quick, reassuring response. You’ll even get a text when your garage door repair technician is on the way.
We also like that they cover everything, from repairs to automation. Their vans are stocked with a huge range of spare parts and accessories, allowing them to finish common repairs—like broken springs or malfunctioning openers—in one visit.
The only downside? Some customers found it a bit inconvenient to have to follow up more than once to confirm their automation appointments.

For those who need genuine Merlin parts and expert advice, Eden Garage Door Repair is your go-to. As an exclusive dealer for Merlin—one of New Zealand’s most trusted garage door opener brands—they make it easy to upgrade or automate your door.
What really stood out to us was how knowledgeable and approachable their technicians are. Customers consistently mentioned how helpful it was to have someone walk them without all the jargon.
Their same-day service is also awesome. Several people told us they called in the morning and had their garage door fixed by lunchtime. That kind of fast, convenient, and reliable service definitely makes them deserving of being on this list.
We also appreciate their upfront approach to on-site quotes. Technicians are transparent about pricing, so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins.
It’s also impressive how often they’re able to repair damaged garage doors without replacing the entire panels. That can save you from having to file an insurance claim.
If you do need to go through insurance, Eden will guide you through the process. Just be prepared for it to take up to two weeks.
Very efficient, professional and no hidden cost
“Our double garage doors started playing up and not working suddenly. This gave us a huge stress as you need to book for repairing with most of companies these days.
I luckily found Eden garage doors and talked to Jinny, who was kindly came to check the fault on site in a short time (on same day!).
He was very thorough, and found out the issues and managed to fix it immediately. He was very efficient, professional and no hidden cost or ripping off. I was very happy to see the garage doors are now working smoothly.
It is my first time using this company but with this full trust, I will be definitely their long term customer from now on.
Highly recommended to people around!“

Even for older doors, customers say that the team often has the right parts on hand and gets everything up and running in under an hour. If they don’t have your part in stock, though, you might have to wait up to two weeks for it to arrive.
Wait times aside, we appreciate that their technicians tackle any issue—sensors, alignment, broken springs, and more.
They also take the time to show you how to prevent future problems, which we found both helpful and thoughtful.
Even little things, like replacing a lost garage remote, are handled smoothly. They’ll match a new remote to your existing opener, saving you both money and hassle.
Will be calling on him again to service the door in the future
”I needed a new motor and Zeon provided great service. I initially wanted to spend the least amount of money but Zeon explained the benefits of different makes and models and I went for the slightly more expensive Merlin as it has more power (motor longevity) and provided a longer warranty. The motor even slows down just before the door fully closes for safety. I am happy with the product and Zeon’s service and will be calling on him again to service the door in the future.”
–Daniel Jo Google Reviews
Reliable and very knowledgable
“Zeon is a great honest tradie who has helped us with multiple jobs. He is reliable and very knowledgable. We would highly recommend him for all your garage door work.”

They also go beyond garage door repairs, offering installations of new ones too. Their experience with both manual and automatic doors means you’ll get honest advice and a professional finish, no matter your needs.
