It appears that the cable on our garage door snapped. The door will not open. Any recommendations on a reliable garage door repair person/company

Note that Ryan may be on vacation. Have you pulled the cord with the red handle and tried to open the door manually?

NOTE: if the cable snapped, you will NOT be able to open the door as this cable provides the balancing force to offset the weight of the garage door. The same thing goes if a spring breaks. The red emergency handle is ONLY GOOD for failure of the actual garage door opener system. In this case all of the springs and cables are intact so the garage door can be relatively easily opened (if it was balanced correctly).

I would just point out that, there are two torsion springs. I had one of them snap, but the door would still open with the electric opener.

Relax, he's just adding some advice how the door acts with a broken cable or spring.

leave village tinker alone , he’s the most helpful guy on here, and Ryan is a great honest guy , I had to replace 2 parts on garage opener , I also told him I needed new key pad because the other was sticking all the time , when he came in he charged me the price for the fix I said what about the key pad he told me you don’t need a new one ,he just cleaned out the old one no charge
