GARAGE DOOR · OTTAWA & EASTERN ONTARIO

Broken spring, car stuck inside, and they're already dialling the next number.

Nobody shops around on a garage door. They call until someone picks up.

Where the money goes

A garage door failure is the purest speed contest in the trades. There is no research phase, no three quotes, no thinking it over. The car is trapped, someone is late for work, and the buying decision is made entirely on who responds first. That's a brutal way to lose business and an easy way to win it.

The volume makes it worse. You're running short, high-frequency tickets, which means you're in and out of vans and driveways all day and physically cannot hold the phone. Every hour of installs is an hour where the next spring call goes to whoever answers.

What the text actually says

Nine seconds after a call goes unanswered, the caller gets this — in your business's name, in wording we write with you before it goes live.

Sent 9 seconds after the missed callHi, Keele Overhead Doors — we're on a call and couldn't pick up. Is the door stuck open, stuck shut, or is a car trapped inside? Send your address and I'll tell you the first slot we've got today.

What it finds out before you call back

Stuck open, stuck shut, or car trapped — that's your priority queue
Spring, opener, cable, or panel damage, so the right parts are on the van
Door size and whether it's a double, because that's half your quote
Address, immediately, because in this trade the address is the qualifier

And the quotes that go quiet

Every quote you send gets a polite, automatic follow-up until the customer decides. It stops the moment they book or decline. At the end of the month you get one page showing which jobs came back and what they were worth.

Questions garage door companies ask

My jobs are small. Is $497 a month worth it?

Run your own numbers on the calculator. At a $380 average ticket, two recovered jobs a month clears it — and in a trade decided purely on response speed, two is a low bar.

Can it book directly into my schedule?

It can hand you a qualified lead with the address and fault already captured, which for most small shops is faster than a calendar integration. If you run a scheduling tool, we'll look at it on the call.

Do people actually text back?

In this trade, more reliably than any other we run. Someone with a car trapped in a garage will answer anything that responds within ten seconds.
