Whether your remote drowned in a cup holder, walked off with a valet, or simply died, Alfonso programs new remotes and clickers for every major opener brand and sets up your car's built-in HomeLink while we're there. Programming starts at $40 per remote in San Francisco; supplying and programming a new remote starts at $55.

Starting prices for San Francisco and the Bay Area, parts and labor, last updated July 2026. What can raise the price: two springs instead of one, a heavy, insulated, wood or oversized door, worn cables, rollers or drums we find on the visit, or a part we have to order. See the full SF garage door cost guide. You hear the exact price before any work starts. Call (415) 494-4774 or book online.
A new remote supplied and programmed starts at $55 in San Francisco depending on the opener brand and how many buttons/doors it controls. If you already bought a compatible remote, programming it starts at $40. Both prices are quoted exactly before we start, and multiple remotes in one visit cost less per unit.
Treat it like a lost house key, because with your registration in the glovebox it effectively is one. Have the opener's memory wiped and every remaining remote and keypad reprogrammed — the wipe invalidates the stolen remote permanently. We do the full wipe-and-reprogram from $90 and can come same-day; this is a call we prioritize.
Shrinking range usually means one of three things: a weak remote battery (check that first — it's free), a failing receiver board in the opener, or new radio interference — LED bulbs in or near the opener are notorious for drowning out the receiver frequency. We can isolate which within minutes on site; the LED-interference case is fixed by swapping one bulb.
Yes — HomeLink and Car2U setup is part of the visit if you want it. Newer openers with rolling-code security need a specific sync sequence between car and motor head that trips up a lot of people; it takes us a few minutes. Some pre-2011 vehicles need a compatibility bridge, which we'll identify before you buy anything.
Decent ones work with most openers made in the last two decades, and we'll happily program one you've bought. Two caveats: the cheapest units have weak transmitters and short battery life, and some openers' security systems only fully cooperate with same-brand remotes. If yours falls in that gap we'll say so and quote the brand remote instead.
