One monthly plan. No meter.
Priced to your company and never billed per minute, month to month. What it costs is a short call with us: it depends on your volume and how much of the night you want covered. Companies taking more than 20 calls a day get a custom plan.
Nothing below is an upgrade tier. It is what the front desk does.
What one answered call is worth
This is a revenue line, not a cost line. Market values for the work itself, not quotes from any one company, and nothing to do with what we charge.
One spring replacement
$150 to $350In most cases, averaging about $250 nationally. That is the 6:40am call with a car shut in behind a dead door, and it goes to whoever picks up.
One repair visit, all in
$155 to $379The normal range across garage door repair, averaging $265. Cables, rollers, photo eyes, limit settings, the opener that finally quit.
One job at franchise scale
$808Precision Garage Door Service franchises averaged $808 per job in 2023, median $803, across the 103 franchised locations reporting a full 52 weeks, as reported by Franchise Chatter. Precision is a national franchise with a call center and premium pricing, not a typical independent's ticket. It is worth knowing what answering every call, every hour, is worth to the people already doing it.

A human answering service sells you minutes

The meter runs hardest in the week you bought it for
Fifty included minutes is under two minutes a day. One trapped-car call, taken properly with a name, a number, an address and a booking, runs longer than that on its own.
Then January arrives. A cold snap takes out springs across a whole metro in one morning, thirty people call you before eight, and on a metered plan that is the day the bill goes vertical. Same on the Monday after a holiday weekend. Same on the evening run of doors that will not close.
Ours does not move. Cold snap week, holiday Monday, quiet Tuesday in June: one monthly plan, month to month. You never have to stand in a driveway working out whether a call is worth answering.
Want the call itself, step by step, before you talk to anyone? It is on how it works.
