Why garage doors companies lose jobs
You already know these scenarios. Every one of them is money walking to your competitor.
Broken spring at 7 AM means someone can't leave for work
The most profitable garage door calls happen in a 2-hour window before work: snapped spring, dead opener, cable off the drum. These customers call every company until someone picks up. If that's not you, you lost the $380 job. Guru answers in under a second.
You're in a garage with a torsion spring loaded
You're mid-install on a new torsion spring or replacing cables — you cannot take your hands off the job safely. The phone rings, you ignore it, the lead disappears. Guru handles the call while you finish the job safely.
New-door sales calls need real pricing — not voicemail
A homeowner pricing a new garage door install is calling 3 companies and going with whoever is responsive AND knowledgeable. If your line rings out, they don't call back. Guru quotes your ballpark ranges for standard installs and books the measurement.
Commercial overhead door customers pay more for speed
A commercial warehouse with a stuck dock door is losing money every minute. They pay a premium for same-day service. If you answer first, you get it at your commercial rate. Guru routes commercial calls to your commercial calendar automatically.
Trade Intelligence
What Guru knows about garage doors
Not a generic answering service. Guru is trained on how garage doors jobs actually work — the terminology, the urgency, the pricing.
Scenario
Customer says "my garage door won't open and I heard a loud bang"
How Guru handles it
Guru immediately recognizes this as a broken torsion spring — the single most common emergency garage door call. It books a same-day spring replacement at your flat-rate spring price, asks whether they have one or two springs (Guru recommends replacing both), and quotes accordingly.
Scenario
Someone says "the motor runs but the door doesn't move"
How Guru handles it
Guru knows this usually means the trolley has disconnected from the carriage or the gears in the opener are stripped. It books a diagnostic at your service-call rate, doesn't try to diagnose over the phone, and flags it as a possible opener replacement.
Scenario
Caller wants to "price a new garage door"
How Guru handles it
Guru quotes your ballpark ranges for common configurations (16x7 single-panel steel: $X–$Y installed, insulated: $A–$B, carriage-style wood-look: $C–$D) and books a free in-home measurement. Captures the current door style and any must-haves like windows or insulation.
Scenario
Property manager mentions a "commercial overhead door stuck on a dock"
How Guru handles it
Guru recognizes commercial dock doors are urgent (loading bay is down = money lost). It books emergency commercial service at your commercial rate, asks about door dimensions and opener type if known, and routes the lead to your commercial tech.

FAQs
Questions from garage doors companies
Yes. Spring replacement is one of your most predictable flat-rate services. During onboarding you set your price for single-spring and dual-spring replacements (torsion vs. extension), and Guru quotes those exactly. It never quotes a "fix" it doesn't have pricing for.
Guru asks the right questions — does the motor run, does the door move at all, is there a loud bang — to loosely categorize the issue and book the right service type. But it doesn't diagnose over the phone. Your tech confirms on-site.
No. Guru gives ballpark ranges if you've set them, but it always books the in-home measurement for accurate pricing. New-door sales require seeing the opening, headroom, side room, and style match — no responsible AI quotes a firm install price sight unseen.
It's the same forwarding your phone already supports. When you're on a job, after hours, or just busy — calls go to Guru instead of voicemail. Takes 2 minutes to set up.
Yes. Unlike a receptionist or even you, Guru can handle unlimited simultaneous calls. A busy Friday when everyone calls at once? Guru answers every single one.
No contracts. Cancel anytime. 7-day money-back guarantee. We're confident enough in Guru that we don't need to lock you in.
