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?
Yes, it's closed.
Thanks. What's the address and ZIP code?

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 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 does Frontivo handle a broken spring with a trapped car?
A sample conversation. Prices and names are examples — Frontivo only quotes the prices and details you give it.
