How to set up an AI receptionist for garage door companies
Garage-door setup treats a door stuck open as a security dispatch, warns people off a broken spring, and keeps opener prices off the phone.
Updated (America/New_York). A checklist, not a price check and not a call result.
A door that will not close is urgent, with no invented arrival time. A heavy crooked door is a repair, and the caller should not move the spring. An opener replacement is a quote visit. A yearly tune-up stays ordinary.
Checklist
- Step 1
Stuck open is security
Address, whether the door is open or closed, callback number. Treat stuck-open as urgent. Do not invent an arrival time. The lines are on the garage door call scripts.
- Step 2
Springs are a warning plus a booking
A heavy crooked door is a repair visit. The agent must not tell them to move a broken spring. Capture whether they already tried the door.
- Step 3
Opener prices stay on the quote visit
"What does a new opener cost, installed?" schedules the quote. It does not state a price you did not enter.
- Step 4
Tune-ups are not emergencies
A yearly tune-up with nothing broken gets a preferred day. Do not route it like a stuck-open door.
- Step 5
Truck stock is the job record
Parts on the van and on-site payment are field service setup, after the four phone paths are distinct.

FAQ
How do I set up an AI receptionist for a garage door company?
Dispatch a door stuck open without inventing an arrival, book broken springs with a warning not to move them, quote openers on a visit, and keep tune-ups ordinary.
What if they ask for an opener price?
Schedule the quote. The script fails if the agent states an opener price that was not provided.
What should I practice first?
The stuck-open script, then the tune-up script, and confirm the tune-up is not treated as a security call.
