The $150 question: tonight or the morning slot?
Pay for tonight when the Tomball garage cannot be secured — a door stuck open is an open house — or when the door hangs crooked or off-track overhead, or when a trapped car is truly needed before morning. On that last one, pull the red release first: disconnected, many doors lift by hand and the emergency evaporates.
The morning slot covers the rest at $50–150 less. A broken spring behind a closed door is going nowhere; a dead opener with the release pulled is a door you can operate by hand; dents wait indefinitely. What does not wait well is button-mashing a jammed door — that converts tomorrow's repair into a larger one.
