So........my wife attempted to back out of the garage before the door was all the way up this morning. Dented the bottom panel of the door a bit, knocked one wheel off track. I got it back on track, bent the track (just on one side with pliers, nothing major) back into place. Manually opened and closed it a couple times, no problems. Used the garage door opener about 10x, no problems. Bottom panel is just dented a bit. Problem solved? Or should i call someone to come look at it?

I'd say it's solved until something happens. :p

As long as the motor doesn't appear to be doing any extra labor, it is probably just a cosmetic problem. Depending on the type of door, you may be able to switch out the panel.

I wish my wife would do something like this.

Nah, your wife is still behind the wheel. As for the second part, is your wife hot?

Problem solved, unless you notice a significant change in the amount of noise the opener generates (indicating extra load).
I did notice, the other day, however, that garage door openers should be inspected every couple of years or so, which means I'm about five years behind....

Good suggestion Swaggs. It's got a minor cosmetic defect now on the outside, and it's dented on the inside. I called the local experts, they said about $350 to replace the panel. I might have them do that this summer. And, yes, of course my wife is smokin' hot.
