Homelink has always been intermittent for me. I have it set to manual, but sometimes it won't open or close with Homelink when I hit the button. I carry a regular garage door opener in the car for the times when Homelink just won't work.
Garage doors today are much better than they were when I was a kid. The garage door we had as a kid was made out of heavy wood planks. We broke a spring about once a year. Before we had a garage door opener when opening the door it would become dangerously heavy. When we got a garage door opener, we got the most powerful one available and we still ended up burning out a couple of them.
