What a missed call costs a Montreal garage door shop
Phone rings first4.2s response30-day guarantee
A hailstorm dented every garage door on a single suburban block. Twenty homeowners are about to call. The first three shops to answer the phone get the work.
What Avidra does
Avidra answers your phone with AI voice the moment a call lands. The caller hears a real voice. You get a structured lead summary on your phone, the same way a text would arrive.
The text doesn't replace the human conversation. It buys time for it. You still call back. You still close the job. Avidra just makes sure the lead is warm and the basics about the homeowners are in your inbox before you do.
Where the math breaks even
Break-even is one recovered job a month for almost every plan tier. If Avidra catches one garage door lead in the trial that would have gone to voicemail, you're already ahead on the year. The trial period is 14 days, so the math has the chance to prove itself before you're paying.
Pick a pickup mode
You decide who picks up first. Run the human-first mode: your phone rings, and Avidra only steps in if the call goes unanswered. Or run the AI-first mode: Avidra picks up live and transfers when the caller wants a human. Most shops start human-first because the customer relationship still flows through you. AI-first makes sense once the volume is past what one person can handle.
Both pickup modes run on the Free tier. AI voice answering and SMS text-back are included at $0, with 30 voice minutes a month.
What Avidra does and doesn't
Avidra answers calls live with AI voice, or texts missed callers back if you'd rather. It runs your intake script. It captures jobs and relays messages to your customers when you ask. What it doesn't do: write your invoices, schedule your techs, replace your dispatcher, or pull customer history from your CRM.
The text won't quote a spring. It won't promise a same-day slot. It won't tell a homeowner whether their opener motor is shot or just the capacitor. Door type and approximate age get captured. The diagnosis and the price stay with you.

73% of homeowners don't leave a voicemail. They call the next garage door tech on Google.
Avidra catches them in 4.2 seconds.
Run the shop from the road
Text the Avidra number from a job site. 'Tell Mike I'll be there in 10' and the AI sends Mike an SMS as your shop. Same for 'how many leads today' or 'call Sarah Linton back at 4.' Avidra picks up the phone for your customers. It also picks up for you.
Calls garage door techs in Montreal actually take
You probably recognize these patterns by now. Weather seal replacement for a drafty garage. Door off the track after a bumper tap. Broken cable hanging loose on one side. Smart opener install with phone app. Pick up first and you book the job. Pick up second and you don't.
Off-hours calls run differently. Tighter, more urgent, less willing to wait until morning. Door stuck open at 11pm with valuables inside. Door fell off the track and bent the panels. The shop that picks up fast keeps the work.
What the year looks like
Spring breaks spike during cold snaps when steel contracts. Opener calls spike in summer. Otherwise steady year-round.
For most garage door techs, the call volume isn't flat. You probably already plan staffing and on-call coverage around the peaks. Avidra runs the same in busy season as in slow. No per-call charges, no surge pricing when the inbox gets loud.
Getting Avidra answering your phone
Setup is two minutes. You connect your business number to Avidra, either by porting it or by setting your existing line to ring the Avidra number. The AI picks up from then on. You edit the default intake script to sound like your office, and the first real call uses your voice and your business name.
Most owners are live before lunch on the day they sign up. The honest test is to call your own line and have the AI answer. The questions land. The summary fires. You see the intake on your phone.
Why live pickup beats voicemail
Voicemail is where service leads go to die. A homeowner who hits voicemail at 7pm and gets a callback at 9am has already booked the next name on the list. Avidra picks up live, so the conversation starts in the first ring. By the time the caller would have hung up on voicemail, the AI has already captured the caller's name and address along with the basics of the call. The follow-up callback then lands into a warm conversation, not a cold one.
After-hours and on-the-ground in Montreal
Montreal winters keep the call volume up. Cold weather doesn't slow the inbox. Calls come from Plateau-Mont-Royal and from across Montreal. The phone doesn't care about postal codes.
Common questions
Will it know if my service area excludes a caller?
Yes. Out-of-area requests get a polite 'we don't service that postal code' response with no callback promise.
Will it triage a same-day request?
Yes. The intake flags same-day urgency and pushes the lead summary to the top of your inbox.
What if a customer asks about spring size?
The script asks for door dimensions and approximate weight. Actual spring size is confirmed on site.
Can it handle a stuck-open door at night?
Yes. The after-hours script for emergencies acknowledges the situation and offers a callback or a next-morning slot.
What about hailstorm panel replacements?
Storm-damage intake can branch to capture insurance status and storm date.
