Today, one of the torsion springs for my garage door broke, leaving my wife's car trapped inside until I could get there to help raise the door manually. Looking around, I discovered exactly the web page I needed: How I Replaced Deadly Garage Door Torsion Springs (and lived to tell the tale).
After a thorough perusal... I'll be looking for a repair shop.

After some of the horror stories Id heard about garage door springs, I would not allow my husband to repair ours. He is a true do it yourselfer, but that was one job I refused to support. Using a residential garage door company cost us a bit a money, but peace of mind was worth every penny.
