Live demoWhat is a garage door answering service?
A garage door answering service answers calls for garage door repair and installation companies when no one can pick up. Sesla's AI answering service responds 24/7, identifies the problem (broken spring, off-track door, opener failure), escalates urgent lock-ins, and books repairs or installation estimates.
The problem with missed calls
Techs can't answer on a ladder
Calls that ring out during a repair often go to the next company.
Installation leads need a fast response
New-door shoppers usually book whoever gets back to them first.
An answering service for garage door companies that triages before it books
Problem triage
Asks your diagnostic questions about springs, cables, tracks, and openers before booking.
Repair booking
Books repair visits on your calendar in the windows you set.
Install estimate qualification
Captures door size, material, and budget before scheduling an estimate.
After-hours escalation
Urgent lock-ins go straight to your on-call tech, day or night.
Example call (studio demo)
CallerMy garage door won't open and my car is inside.
AI receptionistLet's get you out. Did you hear a loud bang before it stopped working?
CallerYes, last night.
AI receptionistThat often points to a broken spring. Are the cables still attached, and do the opener lights come on?
CallerThe lights come on, but one cable is hanging loose.
AI receptionistThanks. I'm flagging this as urgent and texting our on-call tech now. You'll get a text with the arrival window in a few minutes.
