First ring to a truck on the board.
GarageLine AI is managed. We build it around your company, your prices and your service area, then run it and keep it tuned. This is what happens between your phone ringing and the details landing in your inbox.
It answers in your name, any hour
Including the 6:40am one and the 9pm one. No menu, no hold music, no voicemail.
Name and callback number, before anything else
Before the address, before the door. Signal dies in a garage, and a caller who drops out after two minutes of detail is a job gone. With the number written down first, a dropped call is just a callback.
Then the address, read back
So the technician drives to the right house. For a business, it also takes the business name and who to ask for on site.
Then the door, in the caller's words
Callers describe what the door is doing, not parts. It writes that down as they said it and leaves the diagnosis to your technician, so no wrong guess reaches your board.
Is this today, or is this Thursday
A door stuck open at night, a home or business that will not lock up, someone shut in: the earliest visit, and an alert to you the moment it knows. Your own rules decide the rest.
Anything the technician should know
A gate code, a dog in the yard, where to park, who will be home. On the email before the truck leaves.
Your prices, said out loud
This trade prices flat rate, and a company that will not name any number reads to a homeowner as the one to avoid. So it quotes your list the way you wrote it, and a range always comes with the final price confirmed on site. Nothing on your list for it? It never guesses: it books the visit or hands the job to you.
It books a real open time
Into a slot you actually have on your calendar, and it tells the caller whether the booking is confirmed or waiting on your OK.
Four calls, in the caller's words.
It writes each one down the way the caller said it and leaves the diagnosis to your technician. What decides the booking is whether the house can be closed and whether anyone is at risk.
"It hums, but nothing moves."
- Often turns out to be
- A snapped torsion spring, or a stripped opener gear.
- How it books
- The first open slot that suits you. If a car is shut in behind it and your rules call that an emergency, the earliest visit and an alert to you.
"It goes down about a foot and comes straight back up."
- Often turns out to be
- Often the photo eyes near the floor: sun glare, a knocked bracket, a web across a lens.
- How it books
- A door that will not close leaves the house open, so it is urgent: the earliest visit and an alert to you.
"There was a bang like a shotgun and now it will not come down."
- Often turns out to be
- A spring letting go with the door up. The opener is now the only thing holding an unsupported door.
- How it books
- Urgent, a house standing open: the earliest visit and an alert to you. The caller is never told to pull the release cord.
"It came off the track and it is hanging crooked."
- Often turns out to be
- A cable off its drum, a roller out of the track, or a bent section. Every further press of the button makes the repair bigger.
- How it books
- Urgent if the door will not close. The caller is never told to keep running it, or that it is safe.
It never talks a caller through a repair. No caller is ever told to adjust, wind or release a spring, to pull the emergency cord, or to keep running a door that is off its track.
Three things make a call urgent.
The building is standing open
A door stuck up at 9pm is a house that cannot be locked. The caller is not going to bed until somebody answers the phone.
Somebody is shut in
A child, a vulnerable person or a pet shut in is urgent from the first word. A car behind a dead door at 6:40am is urgent when your rules say it is: tell us once.
A business cannot open
A rolling steel door down across a dock bay stops the loading. A business that cannot open or operate gets the earliest visit and an alert to you.
Everything else books like the routine work it is: a noisy door, a worn roller set, a remote that needs programming, a tune-up, a quote on a new door. The full urgent-call walkthrough is on emergency garage door call handling.
This is what lands in your inbox.
Emailed the moment the call ends, with the recording and the transcript behind it. Nothing to re-key, and nothing to half remember on the drive.

Illustrative, not a recording. Note what it did not do: it did not guess at the fault, and with the door up it did not send Dana to the release cord.
You choose how far it goes.
One setting, changed whenever you want. Start on the middle one if you want to see every job before it books, and move to the first when you trust it.
Book it
It puts the job straight on your calendar and tells the caller the time. Nothing waits on you putting the bars down.
Hold it for your OK
It takes the slot the caller wants and tells them it is waiting on your OK. You confirm it with them.
Take the message
It takes the call in full, then hands you the details without booking. Same detail, your dispatch decision.
What we do before you go live.
There is no settings page waiting for you at the end of a signup form. We do the build.
We build it from your price sheet
Your prices, your service call policy, the brands you service, the radius you drive, and the work you turn down. Plenty of shops do not touch gates or dock levelers, and it needs to know that before it says yes to one.
We set where today ends
Where the alerts go, and what counts as an emergency for your shop. A one-truck operation and a five-truck operation draw that line in different places.
You call it and try to break it
Before it touches your line. Ring it with the worst call you had last winter. It goes live when it sounds like your front desk, and not before.
We flip the forwarding on your word
You keep your number. Full time, after hours only, or missed calls only. Change your mind and the routing changes the same day.
