The problem

A broken torsion spring at 9pm is not going to wait for your voicemail

Garage door work is two-handed, overhead, and dangerous. When you're winding a torsion spring or adjusting a LiftMaster opener, you cannot stop to answer the phone. But the homeowner whose car is trapped in the garage is already calling the next company on Google.

  • 78% of callers with a stuck garage door won't wait to leave a voicemail
  • Most homeowners compare 2-3 companies and book whoever answers first
  • A full-time receptionist costs $2,000+/month for a business with seasonal demand
  • Every missed call is a $350+ repair or opener install going to a competitor
