[chart94 PE]

That's not small...that's average size.  

Comparatively considering some of the transmission style units which are a lot bigger. For dist. design, yeah I guess about average, but we are moving towards larger units at a lot of places.

Ugh.  Pretty sure I got over-charged for repairing the springs for my parents garage ($600 total, after tax), but the garage actually opens now, the guy had all the parts, and he got it done in under 2-hours.  Even mentioned that the previously installed springs were under-sized, so, eh.  I'm just happy he came when he said he would and I can just work a few hours OT to make up for the price.  Still.  Oof.  Not sure if I want to be a homeowner if that's the low-end of how much things cost.

Pricing is probably different where you are,  but $600 sounds pretty steep. When we had this problem a couple years ago we were charged $200 for replacement parts + labor; took about the same amount of time.

OTOH, repairing springs is not something you want to do yourself, unless you have a death wish...

I think a spring replacement for a 2 car door, residential was about 300 with late night repair  for me. So I guess maybe not crazy high? 

EDIT. it was 300 for full replacement of both springs, with the late night fee, so probably a bit steep.

Late night repair might be a factor too. In our case, I was still able to open the garage door manually so we could park the cars in the driveway, so we didn’t have to deal with urgent repairs. I can see why it might be necessary in a bigger city, though.

I was in a townhouse (no driveway or street parking bc HOA) and also living alone and I just wanted it done LOL
