No love for wood doors here.
The only wood doors that are worth a crap are very expensive and you almost never see them. (Plus with windload regulations, it's hard to even get them anymore. But IDK what windload regulations are in CA)
What brand is your opener? If it's liftmaster, chamberlain or craftsman, there's a plastic gear inside that may be going out. http://www.cornellgaragedoors.com/bl...r-sprocket.jpg

What I would recommend for a kick-butt opener is one of these: http://www.liftmaster.com/consumerwe...px?modelId=838
if you had a lighter, newer, steel door, these are nice: http://www.liftmaster.com/consumerwe...px?modelId=834
You really can't go wrong with either one. That's the nicest residential motor we install.

Yea, it's almost entirely wooden doors out here as far as I know. I know it's chain driven, not belt driven, so it might be the gear.
What should I expect for a typical install cost on the first one? The guy who replaced the springs & drums quoted me ~$350-$750 (opener + labor combined) for different ones, ranging from the cheapest of the cheap (for steel doors) to 3/4-to-1hp ones for wooden doors.

Hadn't had time to get it repaired and the weather got really cold and it cracked. So now I have about 18" crack across one side

I called my ex insurance company to fix my maxima windshield, and they did it without any problems. My current company said they wouldn't fix it if it was cracked under the other insurance.
