What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's chatbot, we'd lose half our weekend calls to stuck garage doors from worn-out rollers. Now, it handles instant quotes for new belt-drive motors right away, and we've added 15 jobs a month without extra staff—our busiest month saw a 35% uptick in installs. It's like having an extra tech on call 24/7."
Mike Rivera
Owner, Riverside Garage Door Repair, Serving Suburban Chicago for 12 Years
"Our old system couldn't manage the flood of torsion spring break inquiries last spring season. The custom bot from AIQ triaged everything by door weight and urgency, scheduled three urgent repairs overnight for high-tension failures, and our response time dropped from hours to minutes. Revenue's up 22% year-over-year, with fewer emergency callbacks."

"Dealing with LiftMaster remote control programming issues used to tie up our phones all evening, especially after holiday DIY attempts. This chatbot explains step-by-step pairing for multi-door setups and books installs seamlessly—saved us from hiring a night shift. Customers love the instant help; we've seen 18% fewer no-shows and quicker payments."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the chatbot handle urgent garage door emergencies outside business hours?
Our custom AI is designed for speed and smarts. It instantly acknowledges the inquiry—like a stuck door from a power outage—and asks key details: Is it manual or automatic? Any unusual sounds? Based on your trained data, it provides immediate guidance, such as safety steps to avoid injury, while checking your calendar for the next slot. If it's critical, it texts your on-call technician directly. Clients report 90% of emergencies resolved or scheduled within minutes, preventing further damage and capturing leads that would otherwise vanish. No more voicemail black holes; it's like a digital dispatcher always at the ready. We tailor this to your response protocols, ensuring it aligns with local regulations for quick, safe service.
Can the chatbot integrate with my existing scheduling and invoicing software?
Absolutely, integration is our core strength. We build two-way API connections to tools like Jobber or Housecall Pro, pulling real-time availability for repairs such as motor replacements. When a customer describes a sagging door, the bot checks open slots, books the job, and even generates a preliminary invoice quote based on your rates. This eliminates double-entry errors that plague many garage door ops, saving hours weekly. For example, one client saw their booking accuracy rise by 40% post-integration. It's all custom-coded for your workflow—no brittle plugins that fail during busy seasons. We handle the heavy lifting, so your team focuses on wrench-turning, not admin.
What kind of training data does the chatbot use for garage door specifics?
We train exclusively on your data: service manuals, past job notes on common issues like worn-out rollers, pricing sheets for panel swaps, and even regional factors like humidity effects on tracks. This creates an authoritative voice that explains torsion spring risks or remote programming without generic fluff. Unlike template bots, ours evolves— we fine-tune it post-launch using interaction logs to handle nuances, like advising on insulated doors for colder climates. Result? Customers get expert-level help, boosting trust and conversions. A recent deployment for a Midwest firm cut misdirected calls by 60%, as the bot now accurately triages weather-related warps.
How secure is the chatbot for handling customer information?
Security is non-negotiable in home services, where details like home addresses for installations are sensitive. We use enterprise-grade encryption for all chats, complying with standards like GDPR and CCPA, plus home-specific safeguards for access control queries. Data stays in your owned system, not rented clouds prone to breaches. Features include anonymized logging for diagnostics—say, noting a gate code issue without storing it—and audit trails for every interaction. Our builds have zero reported incidents in over 200 deployments, giving you peace of mind when the bot qualifies a late-night opener fix. We also include opt-in consent prompts, aligning with your client-relationship focus.
What if the chatbot can't resolve a complex issue, like a faulty gear system?
Smart escalation is built-in. The AI detects complexity—through keywords like 'grinding noise' or follow-up questions—and seamlessly hands off to a human. It summarizes the chat, attaches photos if uploaded, and notifies your team via preferred channel, like Slack or SMS, with a suggested next step based on your protocols. This ensures no lead slips; in fact, handoffs convert 25% higher because they're pre-qualified. For garage door pros, it's like a filter that warms up tough jobs, such as multi-door alignments, so techs hit the ground running. We monitor these transitions to refine the bot, making it smarter over time without overwhelming your staff.
How much does a custom chatbot cost for a garage door company, and what's the ROI?
Pricing starts at $8,000 for a tailored build, scaling with features like voice integration for call handling—far less than a full-time dispatcher at $50K yearly. ROI hits fast: Expect 30-50% more captured leads from after-hours queries, translating to $20K+ in added revenue for mid-sized ops within six months. One client recouped costs in three months via booked spring jobs alone. We factor in your volume—say, 100 monthly inquiries—and project specifics during consultation. No subscriptions; you own it, with maintenance at 15% annually. It's an investment in never missing a beat, especially during peak seasons like holiday opener surges.
