Where South Jordan cables actually wear
Low, at the bracket, where winter wet lingers. And South Jordan adds a second cable-killer: an opener driven against a frozen-down door shock-loads both cables at once — warm water on the seal, never the button, is cable preservation too.
Cables go on in pairs; the second has the same mileage as the one that failed. And a cable found off its drum is evidence, not the crime — something in the drum, tension or track put it there, and fixing only the cable books the same call again.
South Jordan against its neighbours
For context around South Jordan: Riverton sits at 4,593 ft with 95.7 freeze–thaw cycles; West Jordan sits at 4,429 ft with 90.5 freeze–thaw cycles; and Midvale sits at 4,298 ft with 88.2 freeze–thaw cycles.
South Jordan's own figures — 93.1 cycles, median build 2003, 4,495 ft — are what this page prices against; the neighbouring numbers are why quotes should be local, not metro-wide.

Plan $140 to $260 in South Jordan, UT, pair and labor. The steel is trivially cheap — the invoice is the tension work around it.
Is garage door cable replacement a DIY job?
