best to replace both, $225-$250 in my area, don't mess with the spring to try and save a buck or two, it will mess you up

I've replaced garage door springs twice, once for myself and once for a neighbor. It's not difficult but complete attention is required--mistakes can be painful.
Replace the torsion springs in pairs as the spring which is not broken has been used just as many times as the spring which did break and will be coming to the end of its useful life soon.
Do your research and if you are comfortable with the process, change the springs yourself. If you don't feel confident, call a repairman.
Doing the job myself gave me the opportunity to uses springs rated for 110,000 cycles: overkill yes, but I don't plan to replace these springs ever again!

If you have a strong neighbor to help you out, the cost of the springs and about a half hour. I've replaced all 4 of mine. I go ahead and replace the pair on a single door when one breaks.
I did mine by myself. Definitely would have been easier with an extra person though
Paid $100 for the spring fwiw

I changed both springs instead of just the broken one
