After the move, the previous owner's remotes are somewhere in another city and the keypad on the outside wall wants a code nobody wrote down. The wall button works.
Built-in garage buttons in a car's mirror or overhead console are remotes like any other, often with one extra step. On many rolling-code openers the car first learns the signal from a working handheld remote held close to it, then the opener learns the car: the technician presses the learn button and, in the window that follows, presses the vehicle button until the door moves. A fresh battery in the handheld remote makes the first step reliable, though some vehicle systems follow a different sequence with no handheld remote, so the instructions are confirmed first. An older system sometimes needs a small bridge module.

Scene 1
Before touching the memory, the technician asks what the household wants the outcome to be. Is this adding one remote for a new driver, replacing a lost one, or starting fresh after a move? Are there vehicle buttons, a keypad and a phone app to keep? Is anyone's remote missing, or has a car with a programmed button been sold? The answers decide between adding to the stored controls and erasing everything and rebuilding. The technician also confirms the person asking is the owner, a tenant with permission, or the manager of a shared building, since access to a garage is access to a home.
Scene 2
For an older opener whose remotes were set by rows of small switches and are no longer made, the work is a receiver upgrade rather than a pairing. The technician mounts a compact rolling-code receiver near the head unit, wires its two conductors to the same terminals that serve the wall button, and plugs its transformer into the ceiling receptacle beside the opener. The opener now has a modern radio and can store a handful of new remotes and a keypad. This route is used only when the opener already has photo eyes at the floor; without them, the recommendation is a new opener.
Scene 3
Vehicle buttons are trained and tested from the driver's seat, and you know how yours was set up, since not every system uses the same two-stage method of the car learning a remote and then the opener learning the car. If you change vehicles, the new one is set up to its own instructions, and the old one's button should be cleared before the car is sold or returned from a lease. The handover note records which vehicles are programmed and to which door. Where a bridge module was fitted for an older in-car system, its location and what it does are pointed out so a future technician is not puzzled by it.

Yes, for two reasons. The technician confirms that the person authorising changes to the door's access is the owner, a tenant with permission or the building manager, and you choose the keypad code yourself so it is never known to anyone else. You also test each control in your own hand before the visit ends. Have every remote and vehicle you want programmed available, since a car parked elsewhere cannot be trained.
Yes, if the remote has more than one button and both openers accept it. Each button is programmed to one opener, so a two-button remote can run a double garage's two doors, or a door and a gate. Multi-door keypads also exist, running up to three openers from one pad by selecting the door before entering the code. The technician labels which button drives which door.
Yes, every time. Each new control is operated while the technician watches the door's full travel, then a 2x4 is laid flat under the door and the door must climb back up on touching it, and a broom handle passed through the photo-eye beam during a second close must stop and reverse the door. A remote is a way of moving a heavy door, so the visit ends only when both tests pass.
