How Can We Automate Our Garage Door?

i had a couple of frustrations with what my current situation was, which was just a standard garage door. It worked fine, it had the remote kind of thing in the car, but overtime, it seems like the quality was degrading. So i'd almost have to be right in front of the garage door for it to open. I tried resetting the system, moving things around. Did i create a new interference somehow? And i couldn't find anything logical. so at some point i just said, all right, now this is the inspiration i needed to let's look at something new.
