Wow, far more than I was charged by a local garage door company..senior memory, but think it was around $600 to replace one spring on a 2 springs door. Double car garage. I'd definitely do some shopping around. I know you're in LA & I'm in small town Orygun, but....
Once fixed, a tip gleaned from the repair guy...get a spray can of white lithium grease, spray a ine of it the length of the spring once a year or so.
Also, watching the replacement job, seemed to me the tech had special tools to both lock the spring in place as he wound in the tension, and to tension the spring....a science to the job.
