Damaged garage door panels and accelerated wear

Do you have a garage door that is bent or has a large dent on one or more panels? Yet it still functions? Did you know, even though your garage door is opening and closing, the damage can cause accelerated wear? When your garage door is not in alignment, it can cause damage to the moving parts that help bring your garage door up and down. It can also cause added strain on the opener motor. When there is extra strain on the opener motor, it can cause the motor to wear prematurely.  If your looking to save in the long run, it is important to make sure your garage door is running smoothly.
