What does the AI tell callers about broken springs?

Only your approved safety wording — for example, not to touch springs or cables or force the door open — and then it books a technician.

Can it prioritize callers with a trapped car?

Yes. You set urgency rules, such as a trapped vehicle or a door that will not close, and those callers get the earliest slot while Frontivo.io alerts your team right away (live transfer is on every phone plan).

Can it route and transfer calls to my technicians?

Yes, to one number. On every plan that answers calls (Phone Only, Phone Lite, Starter and Growth) Frontivo.io transfers the live call to the team number you choose, such as your on-call line, when a caller asks for a person or one of your rules matches. For everything else it takes a detailed message noting who the caller wants and the job, and alerts you right away. Routing different calls to several people or departments is not available yet.

Can it quote spring replacement prices?

Yes, from the prices or ranges you enter.

Does it handle new door sales?

Yes. It captures size, style and material preferences and books an estimate.

Can it take commercial door requests?

Yes, with business details and site access information.

Does it work after hours?

Yes. Nights, weekends and holidays are covered on every plan with no after-hours surcharge; those calls use your plan's minutes like any other. After hours it still flags trapped-car and broken-spring calls, alerts or transfers to your on-call tech, and books routine repairs into the next open slot on your calendar.

Can it replace my garage door answering service?

It can replace a message-taking service: it answers 24/7, quotes your fees, books repairs on your calendar and alerts or transfers your team on urgent calls, from $99/month for the phone alone or $299/month on Starter with website chat and text. If you need a live person on every call, keep a human service and forward only busy or unanswered calls to Frontivo.io.

How long does setup take?

Website chat can be live in about 15 minutes for most businesses. For calls, forward your existing line, or get a new number (in the US, Canada, Puerto Rico and a few other countries it is connected in seconds; most other countries, including the UK, Australia, Germany and the Philippines, need business documents first, which takes 1-3 business days; in some countries you confirm a monthly local-number fee on the card first; and where no local number is offered you get a US (+1) number in seconds).

How much does an AI answering service for garage door companies cost per month?

For a garage door company, the price depends mostly on which channels your customers use and how many calls you get each month. Frontivo.io's Phone Only plan is $199/month with 300 AI voice minutes (about 100 calls), live call transfer and missed-call text-back. Starter is $299/month and adds website chat and texting; Growth is $549/month and adds Instagram, Messenger and email. Prices are in US dollars, there is no setup fee or contract, and every plan starts with a 14-day free trial with no card. See pricing.

Does it text back missed calls?

Yes. If someone calling your garage door company hangs up or the call can't be answered, they get a text right away. Missed-call text-back comes with Phone Only, Phone Lite, Starter and Growth. On Starter and Growth the AI carries on the conversation by text; on Phone Only and Phone Lite, a reply to that text comes to you as an alert so you can answer from your own phone. Texting switches on after carrier approval for your number (every US business number needs it); outside the US and Canada texts use more of your allowance, so website chat, Instagram and Messenger usually cost less there.

Does Frontivo.io work for garage door companies outside the US?

Yes. Frontivo.io serves garage door companies in almost every country (the few we don't serve are listed on the countries page). Website chat and email work everywhere; for calls and texts you get a local number in 40+ countries (some with a monthly local-number fee shown before setup) or a US number in any other country we serve. WhatsApp is coming soon. The country-by-country table is at countries.

My garage door won't open. I heard a loud bang last night, and my car is inside.

That loud bang is often a broken spring. Please don't try to lift the door or touch the springs — they're under high tension. Is the door fully closed right now?

Why garage door companies lose urgent calls

A garage door that will not open is an immediate problem — the car is trapped, the house is not secure, or the caller is late for work. These customers may call several companies and book the first one that gives them a time. Technicians on ladders cannot answer, and after-hours calls go to voicemail.

How do you set up an AI receptionist for a garage door company?

1
Tell Frontivo.io about your garage door company: services, prices, hours and service area — type them in or import an FAQ or services page from your website.
2
Set your rules — what counts as urgent, when to transfer to a person, and which times can be booked — then test every channel in the Channel Tester.
3
Forward your business line (or get a new Frontivo.io number: in seconds in the US and Canada, after a documents check in most other countries) and paste one line of code to add the chat and voice widget to your website.

What to add to your knowledge base

Broken spring replacement
Cable and roller repair
Door off track
Opener repair and installation
Smart opener and battery backup
New garage door installation
Commercial and roll-up doors
Annual tune-up

Works with the tools you already use

Your business phone number. Forward your existing line, or get a new number.
Google & Outlook Calendar. Checks live availability before it books, so slots aren't double-booked.
Website chat, text, Instagram, Messenger & email. One AI receptionist answers on every channel with the same knowledge (Instagram, Messenger and email are on Growth, or each on its own single-channel plan). WhatsApp is coming soon.
Zapier, webhooks and API. Send every new lead and booking to the other software your garage door company runs on through Zapier, Make, signed webhooks or the API (on Growth). Google Sheets and Slack or Teams alerts work on every plan.
