Before quoting anything we answer one question: is this closer worth keeping? Three things decide it. Whether the body still holds fluid — a sealed unit with oil on the outside of it has already answered. Whether the arm, forearm and shoe bracket are intact and anchored into something solid. And whether the unit was ever the right size for the leaf it was hung on, because a closer fighting a door heavier than it was built for will not hold an adjustment for more than a few weeks, no matter who sets it.
Two of those three are repairs. Arms, forearms, shoes, brackets, covers and fasteners are parts, and on a sound body they are quick to change. The body itself is not serviceable: there is no fill port on a modern commercial closer, and backing a valve out on a dry unit simply finishes it. Anyone offering to top one up is selling you a second visit.
Where the answer is replacement, sizing matters far more than the brand on the cover. We size to the leaf width, the leaf weight and the exposure the opening genuinely gets, which on an unsheltered Beaver Creek or Elgin Mills frontage is a different number from a sheltered lobby door two units along. Where an arm has torn a hollow-metal frame we reinforce the mounting instead of putting the same screws back into the same holes, because the second failure always arrives faster than the first.

Commercial Door Closer Repair & Replacement — your questions
The suite door slams hard enough to shake the wall. Can that be turned down?
Very likely. Sweep and latch speed are separate adjustments, and a door that swings sensibly then bangs home over the last few inches is a latch-speed setting, not a broken closer. What we will not do is back a valve out on a unit that has already lost fluid — that dumps the rest of it and turns a ten-minute adjustment into a replacement.
Do we have to replace the closer, or can it be rebuilt?
Modern commercial closers are sealed and are not rebuilt in the field. Arms, forearms, shoes, brackets and covers are all replaceable, so damage to any of those is a parts job. A cracked body, a stripped spindle or a unit that has leaked out is a replacement. We will tell you which one you are looking at before you commit to anything.
One tenant’s door is fine and the one beside it is impossible. Same building, same age. Why?
Exposure and use, mostly. A unit facing an open parking lot on Elgin Mills takes wind loading that its neighbour under a canopy never sees, and a suite with steady foot traffic wears hardware far faster than one that opens twenty times a day. Doors also get fixed individually over the years, so two neighbouring openings are often carrying quite different hardware by now.
