Showerthought: I fixed a noisy garage door for under $20 and it's been quiet for months

Honestly, my garage door was making this awful grinding sound every time it opened. I thought the whole opener was going out. Tbh, I watched a few videos and saw a tip about the nylon rollers on the track. I bought a tube of white lithium grease for about $7 and spent 15 minutes cleaning the old gunk off the rollers and applying it. That was like 4 months ago and it's been smooth and silent ever since. Has anyone else had a simple lube job fix what seemed like a major problem?

Only $7 for the grease?

That's actually a fair price for a quality product. You get what you pay for with this stuff, and it lasts a long time. Cheap grease just makes a mess and doesn't work as well.
