A 24/7 AI receptionist built around your shop — your pricing, your warranties, your service area, your dispatch rules. It answers up to 10 calls at once, books onto your live schedule, and sends the nearest tech. We build the whole thing for you, and you run it free for a month before you pay anything.
A full-time receptionist runs about $46,000 a year and covers 2,080 of the 8,760 hours in one. Here's the math →
Around the clock, ten simultaneous callers, never on hold. After-hours callers get real help — not voicemail.
Checks your live schedule and assigns the technician whose route fits best.
Sends the tech already working nearest the new job — less windshield time.
Spring vs. opener pricing, warranties, brands, service area — straight from your real docs, never invented. No template, no generic script.
Door stuck open, off the track, a car trapped inside — flagged urgent and routed to on-call right away.
Your dispatch board, call transcripts, and messages in real time — bookings appear as they happen.
Call the demo line, book a repair, and watch it land here in real time — the same live dispatch board, call transcripts, and booked-revenue counter your customers' calls flow into.
We build and launch the whole system for you first — no deposit, no setup fee, nothing owed up front. Run it live for a full month with your own customers, then decide. Walk away and you owe nothing. That option does not exist when you hire someone.
Full pricing breakdown — annual vs monthly, the setup fee, and how it compares to a receptionist.
Straight answers on cost, setup time, and what happens on a 2am emergency call.
garagelift.ai costs $199 per month for Standard, $399 per month for Professional, and $699 per month for Enterprise, each with a one-time $200 setup fee. Paying annually removes the setup fee entirely and saves roughly 12% — $2,099, $4,199, or $7,349 per year. Support and monitoring are included in every plan, and there are no per-call or per-service fees.
A garagelift.ai system is typically live on your existing business number in about two weeks. That covers building your knowledge base from your real pricing, warranty and service-area documents, connecting your schedule, configuring dispatch rules, and testing the agent on real call scenarios before it takes a single customer call.
No — the AI receptionist runs on the number you already advertise. Your existing number is forwarded to garagelift.ai, so every truck wrap, yard sign, and Google listing you have keeps working exactly as it does today.
Most callers simply experience a receptionist who picks up on the first ring and knows the answers. The voice is natural and the persona is written to match how your shop talks. The difference customers notice is that nobody is ever put on hold, sent to voicemail, or told to call back during business hours.
Emergencies are triaged on the call and routed to your on-call technician immediately. A door stuck open, a door off the track, or a car trapped inside the garage is recognized as urgent, flagged as such, and pushed straight to the person on call by text and email — rather than sitting in a voicemail box until morning.
The agent answers from your own documents, not from general knowledge. Your spring and opener pricing, the brands you carry, your labor warranty, and the ZIP codes you serve are loaded into a knowledge base during setup, and the agent is constrained to answer from it. When it does not have an answer, it says so and takes a message instead of inventing one.
The entire system is built, launched, and run live with your real customers for a full month before you pay anything. There is no deposit and no setup fee to start. If you decide it is not for you at the end of the month, you walk away owing nothing.
Monthly plans can be cancelled at any time. Annual plans are billed for the year in exchange for waiving the $200 setup fee and a roughly 12% discount. Either way, the free month comes first, so you see how the system performs on your own call volume before committing.
A traditional answering service takes a message; garagelift.ai books the job. Instead of handing you a callback list to work through in the morning, it checks your live schedule during the call, books the appointment, assigns the technician whose route fits best, and notifies your crew — so the caller hangs up with a confirmed time slot rather than a promise that someone will get back to them.
