Help! My Car Is Stuck in the Garage—What Now?

There’s nothing quite as frustrating as getting ready to leave—whether it’s for work, school, or an appointment—only to find that your garage door won’t open. If your car is stuck inside, you need a quick solution.

All American Door of Minneapolis has the answers you need for what might be causing the problem and what you can do to get your garage door working again ASAP.

Call (763) 244–1605 for same day emergency garage door repair service in and around Minneapolis or contact us online for help.

First Things First: Check the Basics

Before you panic and call for help, try these simple troubleshooting steps:

  1. Is the garage door opener plugged in? Power cords can get unplugged by accident. Check that it’s securely connected.
  2. Test the remote and wall switch. If your remote doesn’t work, try the wall-mounted control panel. If that works, your remote may need new batteries.
  3. Check the circuit breaker. A tripped breaker could be the culprit. Reset it and see if your garage door operates.
  4. Manually unlock the door. If you have a manual lock on your garage door, make sure it’s not engaged.

If none of these quick fixes solve the issue, it’s time to dig a little deeper.

Was really glad the work could be done the same day. Opener is much quieter than old one and much brighter light. Technician was informative.
