Spring snapped, car trapped — they need you today.
A garage door failure isn't a someday job — the car's stuck inside and they can't get to work tomorrow. They call whoever can come first. Aimee answers when you can't.

A garage door answering service answers your calls when you can't — mid-repair, driving, or after hours — so a same-day job becomes a booking instead of a missed call. Mango Receptionist does it with an AI receptionist named Aimee.
After activation and verified forwarding, she can answer eligible calls routed from your existing number in your business name while service is available, captures the door and opener type, what's failed (spring, opener, off-track, cable), whether a vehicle is trapped inside, the address, and urgency, then sends you the job at once. Garage door failures are urgent and same-day — the customer books whoever can come first. Aimee's standard Solo price is US$200 every 30 days for up to 50 bookings.
Businesses that respond to a new enquiry within 5 minutes are 21 times more likely to qualify the lead than those who wait 30 minutes. The first pickup usually wins the job.

7am. The torsion spring let go overnight and the door won't lift.
The car's trapped inside and they need to leave for work. They call every garage-door company in the area until one answers and can commit to today. You're already on a job with the phone in the van.
It rings out. They don't leave a message — they can't wait, the car's stuck. The same-day repair books with whoever picks up and can commit, and you never knew the job existed. Garage door work lives and dies on being reachable the moment the spring goes.
Aimee answers, captures the fault, and sends you the same-day job.
She gets the details you need to arrive with the right parts and flags the jobs that can't wait.
Can answer around the clock when active
Eligible calls you forward — mid-repair, driving, after hours — can be answered in your business name.
Captures the door & fault
Door and opener type, what's failed — spring, opener, cable, off-track — and the address.
Flags a trapped car as urgent
Car stuck inside, can't get to work — Aimee marks it same-day urgent and alerts you immediately.
Sends you the job
The full summary lands after the call is completed and the delivery provider accepts it, so you can slot it in and turn up with the right spring or opener.
Built to integrate, not lock you in: Mango Receptionist exposes an open MCP (Model Context Protocol) endpoint — the same interface AI assistants use — so answer engines and tools can query how it works directly.
What one week of missed calls really costs
Illustrative maths with your own numbers. Aimee's standard Solo price is US$200 every 30 days for up to 50 bookings — one saved repair a month more than covers her.
Questions garage door techs actually ask.
How much does a garage door answering service cost?
Mango Receptionist's standard Solo price after beta is US$200 every 30 days for up to 50 bookings — no per-call or per-message charges. Setting Aimee up in your browser is free with no card. A one-off US$5 activation turns on phone answering and starts a 14-day phone trial. During beta, that activation is the only charge; standard Solo billing begins after beta.
Does the AI receptionist sound robotic to customers?
Aimee answers in a natural voice and handles the call like a good office manager. Call the demo line on +61 2 5300 8040 and hear her before you put her on your phones.
Can it capture the door and spring details so I arrive ready?
Yes. Aimee captures the door and opener type and what's failed — spring, opener, cable, off-track — so you can turn up with the right parts instead of making two trips.
Do I have to change my phone number?
No. You keep your existing number and switch on call forwarding — full, or only when you're busy or don't answer.
What details does Aimee capture on a garage door call?
The door and opener type, the fault, whether a car is trapped, the address, urgency, and preferred time — sent to you after the call is completed and the delivery provider accepts it.
