What Happened: Backed Into Garage Door Damage
When a garage door gets hit by a car, the damage often goes beyond the visible dent. Even a “small bump” can cause:
-
Bent or creased door sections that won’t roll correctly
-
A door that looks crooked or jams halfway
-
Loud grinding, shaking, or binding during operation
-
Gaps along the sides or bottom that let in cold air and debris
In this Highland job, the impact damage made replacement the safest and most reliable fix.
The Fix: 16×8 Insulated Door Replacement (Ankmar Model 66)
We replaced the damaged door with a 16×8 flush panel design insulated garage door, specifically:
-
Brand/Model: Ankmar Doors Model 66
-
Size: 16×8
-
Build: Insulated for improved temperature control and a more solid feel
-
Style: Clean flush panel look (simple, modern lines)
A full door replacement after a vehicle impact helps ensure the entire system is square, balanced, and operating safely.
Replacement Process and Quality Checks
To finish this Highland garage door replacement correctly, we focused on the details that prevent call-backs:
-
Verified track alignment and hardware fit
-
Confirmed the door travels smoothly without binding
-
Checked for even closing and proper sealing at the bottom
-
Made sure the door is balanced for safer operation and less opener strain
If your opener was working overtime after the impact, getting the door running true again can help protect it from premature wear.

Common Questions About Garage Door Damage From a Car
Should I try to run the door if it was backed into?
It’s usually best not to. Impact damage can cause the door to bind, jump the track, or stress the opener.
Can you replace just one section?
Sometimes, but vehicle impacts often bend multiple sections or shift alignment. If safety or smooth operation is compromised, a full replacement is often the better long-term fix.
Will a new door help my garage stay warmer?
An insulated door can help reduce temperature swings in the garage, especially when the garage is attached to the home.
