For garage door installers
The best AI receptionist
for garage door installers.
Broken garage doors are urgent. And the call goes to whoever answers.
A Saturday morning, told straight
Their garage door snapped a spring this morning. Their car is trapped inside.
It's 7am on a Wednesday. A garage door spring just gave out. The car is trapped behind it. The owner has a meeting at 9. They're calling every garage door company within 20 miles.
You haven't started work yet. Phone is on the kitchen table charging. They book the company that answered on the second ring. You finish your coffee, see the missed call, and have lost a £600 same-day repair.
Foan picks up in two seconds. Recognises the urgency in their voice. Asks for the door type, the brand if they know it, whether the door is fully down or stuck halfway. Books a same-day call-out. Texts you the address and the symptoms so you can call back from the road if you want.
Garage door work is one of those niches where the customer doesn't shop around. They want the first competent voice. Foan is the first competent voice, every time, including evenings and weekends.
A typical installer fields 3-5 emergency calls a week, average ticket £400-£900 for a same-day repair. Even one missed call a week is £400 lost. Foan is £49.
Same pattern works for new door installs, opener replacements, panel replacements, and weather-seal jobs.
