Four moments, in our experience: when you buy a home (the general inspector spends about ninety seconds on the garage door), when a door is over ten years old and has never been serviced, after any impact or off-track event even if the door seems fine, and when small kids or pets start using the garage as a throughway. Landlords also use them for documented due diligence.
We disconnect the opener and check the door's balance by hand, inspect every cable strand-by-strand at the bottom brackets where fraying starts, measure the auto-reverse trip force against safety standards, block and cross the photo-eye beam to verify response, and check the spring anchor plate, track lags, and opener mounting into the framing. Each item lands in the written summary as fine, watch, or fix.
You get it in writing with an exact repair price, and then it's entirely your call — the inspection fee buys you information, not an obligation. Roughly speaking, most doors we inspect pass with a note or two; a minority need a genuine safety repair, most often auto-reverse force set too high or cables further gone than they look from the floor.
