In attempting to get a car ready to take to the repair shop, we inadvertently discovered that the car did not have breaks. My husband drove it through the garage door. Definitely two panels were broken. It is an older wooden door, but very traditional builder grade which rolls upwards.

My first question involved repair. Can this even be repaired? Most garage doors I see these days are metal or vinyl...unless they are very pricey. I believe that the tracking is still usable. It is a single door 2car garage door.

My second question...replacement.
How difficult is it to self install a garage door?
We'd like to save a bit of money, but it seems like a major project. I also doubt we have the equipment needed.

Also...are any of these garage door places have deals that beat home depot or Lowes with installation? We can't replace with a really good door, but wanted one with at least some insulation.

Also wondering about Sears.
