I open the garage door and everything is fine. Go to close the door and all hell breaks loose. A bolt holding up one of the supports got pulled out of one of the studs. Almost all the wheels fall out of the track. The door is leaning heavy to one side so I propped it up to help support but I won't be surprised if it falls in the middle of the night.

Can the OT recommend a repair company in BR that works on a Sunday?

The ones that work on a Sunday, won't have bookings.

Also, this sounds like a simple fix, a socket set and a single lag bolt and you are back in business.

Now you prepare that Fetzer valve with some 3-in-1 oil and some gauze pads. And I'm gonna need 'bout ten quarts of anti-freeze, preferably Prestone. No, no make that Quaker State.

Maybe just remove the support and let it do what it was going to do? Then you get a brand new car, garage repairs, paint, few days off work, pain and suffering cash.

Call one of those TV guys. It looks like a winner to me, but I don't know, other that what I see on TV!

barely cover my service fee

I prefer to sit back and offer advice, plus I'm in NOLA.

where it ripped from wall.

Attach mounting to next hole below or above the hole used previously in the mounting bracket.

take off the bolts holding on the wheel guides. with the door braced, roll each wheel in place through the track and line them up with their mounting brackets, then attach brackets back to door. ta -dah..
