AI answering service for garage door repair

Home-services quote intake

Captures quote requests for home projects — job type, scope and details — saves the lead, and books a free estimate visit so no enquiry slips away after hours.

Field service dispatch

Triages home-service calls by severity and routes deterministically: active hazards go straight to an on-call dispatcher, urgent jobs get a same-day booking, and routine jobs are scheduled — every call logged as a ticket.

Appointment reminder & confirmation

Calls patients before their visit and lets them confirm, reschedule, or cancel by voice OR keypad (press 1/2/3). Reschedules check real availability and rebook; a WhatsApp confirmation goes out — cutting no-shows without front-desk effort.

Frequently asked questions

Can it prioritise a trapped car over routine maintenance?+

Yes — you define the priority rules. Car-trapped and stuck-open calls can take the next same-day slot or page on-call, while tune-ups and new-door quotes book normally.

Does it warn callers about broken springs?+

It follows your approved safety script — typically advising callers not to force the door or touch spring hardware themselves — and never improvises safety advice.

Can callers send photos of the door?+

Yes — the agent follows up on WhatsApp and photos land alongside the call summary, so techs arrive with the right parts.

How much does a garage door repair answering service cost?+

Telenow bills per minute of actual talk time with itemized, component-level pricing (model, speech, telephony, platform fee). Unanswered and failed calls are not billed. There are no per-call fees and no long-term contract.
