The AI receptionist for garage door companies.
It answers the calls you send it, 24/7, in your company's name. It quotes your prices the way you wrote them, books real visits on your calendar, and emails you the moment a call is urgent. It never talks anyone through a repair.
What it does
Answers the calls you send it, 24/7
In your company's name, any hour. Forward every call, only the ones you miss, or only after hours. Your number never changes.
Your prices, the way you wrote them
It quotes from your price list, never a guessed figure. A range always comes with final price confirmed on site. No price on your list for it? It books the visit or hands the job to you.
Real bookings on your calendar
Real open times on your Google Calendar, and the caller is told whether the visit is confirmed or waiting on your OK. You choose: book automatically, hold each one for your approval, or take a full message.
Your rule for what is urgent
Built in: a door stuck open at night, a child, a vulnerable person or a pet shut inside, a business that cannot open. Your own notes decide what else counts. It pushes for the earliest visit and emails you the moment it knows.
Never talks anyone through a repair
No spring, no release cord, no door kept running off its track. It writes down what the caller says the door is doing, never a cause or a part, and the diagnosis stays with your technician.
Built, tested with you, run for you
We build it around your company: your prices, your service area, your rules. You call it yourself first, nothing goes live until you say so, and we keep tuning it, included every month.
Nobody calls to say the torsion spring has failed.
They say it made a bang. They say it goes down and comes back up. They say the car is shut in. It writes down exactly what they said, never names a cause or a part, and leaves the diagnosis with your technician. What it does next comes from your prices, your calendar and your rules.
Illustrative calls
"There was a bang like a gunshot in the night, and now it will not lift."
Writes down those words, not a guess at the part. Books your next open time, or holds it for your OK.
"It will not close, and it is eleven at night."
Urgent, built in: a door stuck open at night. It takes the name and address, pushes for the earliest visit, and emails you the moment it knows.
"My car is shut in and I am due at work at eight."
Urgent if your notes say a car shut in is urgent: tell us once and it is treated as one. If they don't, it books your next open time.
"It is the roll-up door at our shop and we cannot open this morning."
A business that cannot open is urgent, built in. It takes the business name and who to ask for on site.
"The opener runs but the door does not move."
No talk-through and no pulling the cord. The caller's words go on your email, and the visit is booked or held for your OK.
"How much is a new spring?"
Your price, the way you wrote it. A range comes with final price confirmed on site. No price on your list? It books the visit or hands the job to you.
The urgent side of the same call is on emergency garage door call handling.
What lands in your email when the call ends.
Every call is recorded and transcribed. When it ends, the details are emailed to you, with the recording and transcript behind them. Six things, taken while the caller is still on the phone.
Name and best number
Taken on every call, and the name is read back, so the one on your email is the one the caller gave.
The address, read back
Read back to the caller before the call ends, so your technician drives to the right place.
What the door is doing
In the caller's own words, exactly as they said it. Never a cause or a part it guessed.
Home or business
For a business, the business name and who to ask for on site.
What your technician should know
A gate code, a pet, where to park, who will be there.
The booking
The visit on your calendar, confirmed or held for your OK. Or, if you set it that way, a full message for your team to call back.
It names your number, out loud, on the call.
This trade prices flat rate, and homeowners have learned to hear "we cannot price it until we see it" as the line that leaves the number open until a technician is standing in the driveway. So it quotes from your price list, the way you wrote it, never a guessed figure. A range always comes with final price confirmed on site. No price on your list for it? It books the visit or hands the job to you, and pressing it never changes that.
What spring replacement runs in most cases, averaging about $250 nationally. Your prices are your own; this is the market the caller is comparing you against.

The operators who buy their way to the top of emergency search are taking calls that belong to the shop that actually does the work. Answering first, with a straight number, is how an honest shop takes those calls back.
What the industry's own trade magazine says about it: "Typically, the service company that responds first gets the job regardless of price." Bardowell, Door + Access Systems (DASMA), Winter 2021.
Four things it will never say to a caller.
These are not settings and they are not tunable. A receptionist that will improvise advice about a door under tension is a liability wearing your company's name. For a real danger (sparks or smoke, anyone hurt) it gives the safety line first: stay clear, call 911.
It never talks a caller into touching a spring
No adjusting, no winding, no unwinding, no loosening a set screw on the shaft. Bars go into a cone under load and turns get counted. That is a technician on a ladder, not a homeowner on the phone.
It never says pull the red cord
Not on a door standing open, not on a door whose spring may be broken. It is the piece of well-meaning phone advice most likely to drop a door on somebody.
It never guesses a price
Your price list, out loud, the way you wrote it. A range always comes with final price confirmed on site, and a job with no price on your list gets a visit or goes to you, never a made-up number.
It never tells anyone to keep using it
A door off its track is a job for your technician. It never tells a caller to keep running it, to hold the wall button in, or to block the photo eyes to force it shut, and it never tells anyone a door is safe.
What it will and will not take on, in full, is on can an AI answer garage door calls.
The call you cannot take gets answered by somebody else.
Homeowners do not queue for a garage door. They work down the search results until one rings through, and the fault is not going to wait until Monday either way.
Only 52% of callers to home services businesses speak with a person.
82% of consumers say they will call a competitor if a business does not answer, and 78% have abandoned a business after an unanswered call.
Almost 40% of homeowners say they rarely or never worked with a contractor who did not answer their first call.

The questions owners ask about an AI receptionist.
What does an AI receptionist for garage door companies do?
It answers the calls you send it, 24/7, in your company's name. On each call it takes the caller's name and best number, the address, and what the door is doing in the caller's own words, and reads the name and address back. It quotes from your price list the way you wrote it, then books the visit on your calendar, holds it for your OK, or takes a full message, whichever you set. When the call ends, the details are emailed to you with the recording and transcript.
Will it quote a price over the phone?
Yes, from your price list, the way you wrote it, never a guessed figure. A range always comes with the final price confirmed on site. If there is no price on your list for the job, it books the visit or hands the job to you, and pressing it never changes that. Garage door work is priced flat rate and homeowners call around, so a front desk that will not name any number loses the call.
Will it tell a caller what is wrong with the door?
No. It never diagnoses. It writes down what the caller says the door is doing and never names a cause or a part, so no wrong guess ever reaches your board. The diagnosis stays with your technician.
What happens when a caller's car is shut in?
Whatever your notes say. Built in, it treats a door stuck open at night or one that will not secure the home or business, a child, a vulnerable person or a pet shut inside, and a business that cannot open as urgent: it takes the name and address, pushes for the earliest visit, and emails you the moment it knows. If a car shut in on a workday morning is an emergency for your company, tell us once and it is treated as one. If not, it books your next open time.
Does it handle commercial calls as well?
Yes. It notes whether the caller is a home or a business, and for a business it takes the business name and who to ask for on site. A business that cannot open is urgent, built in. What you do and what you don't do for businesses comes from your notes.
Do I have to change my number?
No. You keep your number and forward to it: every call, only the ones you miss, or only after hours. We build it around your company, you call it yourself first, and nothing goes live until you say so.
Will it work with the software I already run?
It books onto your Google Calendar, and we set that up with you. Nothing has to be installed. Every call's details arrive by email when the call ends, with the recording and transcript behind them.
How is this different from an AI voice agent?
Same product, two ways of reading it. This page is what it does for the business. The AI voice agent page is the mechanics: how the call is answered and recorded, what lands in your email, the three ways it can book, and what happens when something fails.
Keep going.
Answered in your name, any hour.
We build it around your company, your prices and your rules. You call it yourself first, nothing goes live until you say so, and your number never changes.
