Tempe lists 22 garage door businesses, and the group skews toward emergency and commercial jobs. Emergency service is offered by 16 of them (73%, versus 58% metro-wide), while 12 also take commercial work (55%, versus 41% metro-wide). Reputation looks solid as well: 19 of the 22 carry a Google score, with a median of 4.9, and 17 of those sit at 4.5 or better. Together they hold 5,555 Google reviews, and 12 of the businesses have 100 or more.
This is what each company’s website says about its hours, not a promise: “24/7 emergency” often means a phone answered around the clock with a technician to follow. Call first.

Local context
In Tempe the average summer high is 106°F, and between June and September the heat can climb to 115°F or more. The monsoon runs from June 15 to September 30, and haboob dust storms are a recognized hazard. When replacing a door or panels, look on the label for the design pressure (psf) rating instead of an mph number, and check requirements with your local building official.
Homeowner tips
Warranty mentions are rare: of the sixteen Tempe businesses offering emergency service, only 4 mention one (18%, under the 28% metro share). Before agreeing to a repair, get any warranty terms in writing.
Jobs of $1,000 or more, or any job requiring a permit, need a contractor licensed by the Arizona ROC. Search the ROC site by name or license number, check that the license is active, and make sure its class fits your project.
Liability insurance is not an ROC requirement, so request proof from each contractor on its own. Any written contract above $1,000 has to list the license number, a description of the work, the total price, the deposit and the payment schedule.
