Garage Door Installers + ServiceM8
The AI receptionist for garage door installers that writes straight into ServiceM8.
Stuck door = car stuck inside. They will call until someone picks up.
How it works
Foan plugs into ServiceM8 so every call becomes structured data in the system you already use. No re-typing, no copy-paste, no "I'll add it later."
Why garage door installers miss calls.
Broken garage doors are urgent. And the call goes to whoever answers.
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.
What you get on day one.
-
Every call answered in two seconds. No queue, no missed-call voicemails, no "we'll get back to you tomorrow".
-
Calls flow into ServiceM8 automatically. No copy-paste from notepad. Whatever ServiceM8 expects, Foan writes.
-
UK phone number included. Take a new line or forward your existing business number. Either way, Foan picks up.
-
Text or WhatsApp the second the call ends. You're on a job, you don't pick up — Foan does the work and tells you what was said.
Ready in 10 minutes.
Plans from £49/mo. Cancel any time. Number forwarding works on the existing line you already pay for.
Frequently asked
Does Foan really work for garage door installers using ServiceM8?
Yes. Broken garage doors are urgent. And the call goes to whoever answers. Foan answers calls live, qualifies them by asking the questions a garage door installer would ask, and writes the outcome into your ServiceM8 automatically. There's nothing for you to copy across.
How does Foan + ServiceM8 compare to hiring a receptionist?
A part-time receptionist costs around £1,800/mo and only covers business hours. Foan picks up 24/7 in two seconds, never misses a call during peak, and starts at £49/mo. Everything ends up in ServiceM8 the same way a human assistant would log it — except instantly and without typos.
What if a caller asks a question Foan doesn't know the answer to?
Foan is configured with your business hours, services, prices and FAQs the moment it's set up — we scan your website automatically. For anything genuinely unknown, the agent admits it doesn't know, takes the caller's contact details, and pings you so you can ring back. Better than voicemail, every time.
How quickly can I get this live with ServiceM8?
Under 10 minutes. Sign up, connect ServiceM8 via OAuth (one click), pick a UK phone number, point your existing business line at it. Foan starts answering on the next ring.
