Garage door work comes in two kinds. A broken spring traps a car inside and the homeowner needs you this morning. A homeowner wants a new door and gets three quotes for a few thousand dollars. Obravetta handles both: every urgent call gets an answer, and every replacement quote gets followed up until it’s a yes or a no. From $27/month.
When a garage door breaks, it’s urgent. The car is stuck, the house won’t lock, or the door is hanging crooked. The homeowner isn’t shopping around for the best company. They’re calling down the list until somebody answers.
That means the company that replies first usually gets the job. Not the cheapest, not the one with the best ad. The first one.
Replacements work the opposite way. They’re planned, they’re a few thousand dollars, and the homeowner takes their time. The company that keeps following up usually wins.
One garage door customer, from a broken spring to a new door a year later. Here’s where companies lose the work, and what has to run on its own to stop it.
| Stage | What's happening | Where it dies | What has to run automatically |
|---|---|---|---|
| The call | Spring snaps, car is stuck inside | Nobody answers, they call the next company | Missed-call text back in seconds, from your number |
| The visit | You fix the spring, check the rollers and cables | No record of what you saw | Photos and notes on the customer record |
| The upsell | The door is 20 years old and dented | The replacement quote never gets sent. This is the big one. | Photo proposal with door options, sent from your phone |
| The decision | Homeowner compares quotes | Silence for two weeks | Follow-up texts and emails until they answer |
| The install | Date, deposit, door order | Signature chased for days | E-signature and a deposit link on the proposal |
| After | Invoice, review, next year | No review, no tune-up, no repeat | Review request and a yearly tune-up reminder, both automatic |
Not a feature list. This is what a normal morning looks like when the system is answering for you.
A homeowner calls while you’re on another job. They get a text right away: “Sorry we missed you. Is your door stuck open or closed? Reply with your address and a photo.” They don’t call anyone else.
Missed-call text back · Two-way SMSOn Growth and Pro, AI voice answering picks up, takes the address and the problem, and books the earliest open slot. You see it on your phone without stopping.
AI voice answering (Growth & Pro) · Online bookingWhile you’re there, you notice the door is old and dented. You take photos and send a proposal with two or three door options and prices before you leave the driveway.
Mobile app · Proposals with e-signatureThe repair invoice goes out from your phone with a pay link. The homeowner pays by card while you’re packing up.
Invoicing · Text-to-payThe replacement quote gets friendly follow-ups on its own: a text a few days later, an email the next week, one more before it goes cold. You don’t remember to send any of them.
Unlimited automated workflowsMarking the job done sends the review request while the homeowner is still relieved. A year later, the same customer gets a tune-up reminder.
Automated review requests · Scheduled campaignsPut in your own numbers. Most garage door calls are urgent, so a caller who reaches voicemail usually calls the next company on the list.
The math: missed calls per week × 4.33 weeks × the share that would have booked × your average job. Change any number to see your own result.
Homeowners know garage door repair has a reputation for surprise prices. The company that looks honest and local wins the call.
Will they show up today? Will the price on the phone match the bill? Are they actually local, or a call center that sends whoever’s free?
Every one of those is a trust problem, and most of it is answered before you ever arrive.
On Obravetta Growth and Obravetta Pro, a professional garage door website is built for you as part of the plan, not quoted separately by an agency for a few thousand dollars.
A garage door website has one job: get a stressed homeowner to call or book. That means a big tap-to-call button, same-day repair clearly offered, your service area, real reviews, and a gallery of doors you’ve installed for the homeowners who are shopping.
On Obravetta Starter at $27 you get the builder and build it yourself. On Growth and Pro we build it for you.
Obravetta isn’t a dispatch app with marketing bolted on. It’s the whole stack, and for a garage door company it breaks into six jobs.
Published figures, sourced below.
Garage door replacement took the top spot in the 2025 Cost vs. Value Report for the second year in a row. That’s a strong number to put in front of a homeowner who’s deciding between repairing a 20-year-old door and replacing it.
Every plan includes a 14-day free trial, month-to-month with no contract. Annual billing charges for ten months instead of twelve.

It depends what's costing you money. If you need parts inventory by truck, spring-size lookups and dealer price books, a field-service platform built around inventory goes further than we do. If your problem is missing urgent calls while you're on a ladder, replacement quotes that never get a second touch, and past customers you never hear from again, that's what Obravetta is built for, with the website and marketing included.
Turn on missed-call text back. A homeowner with a door stuck open, or a car trapped inside, isn't leaving a voicemail. When you can't answer, they get a text from your business number within seconds asking what happened and where they are. On Growth and Pro, AI voice answering can pick up, take the details and book the visit. That first reply is usually the whole job.
Follow up, and make the choice easy. Replacement is a big-ticket job, so homeowners compare. Send a proposal from your phone with photos and two or three door options at different prices, then let automatic follow-up texts and emails keep it alive for the next week or two. It's on every plan, including the $27 one.
It's one of the strongest cases you can make. In Zonda's 2025 Cost vs. Value Report, garage door replacement ranked first nationally, with an average job cost of $4,672 and an estimated resale value of $12,507, or 267.7% of cost recouped. Putting that on your website and in your proposals gives a homeowner a reason to say yes beyond 'it looks nicer.'
Yes, from the customer list you already have. Send a yearly tune-up or safety-check reminder to every past repair and install customer, and a spring or fall offer to everyone whose replacement quote never closed. It all runs on a schedule, so nobody has to remember. That's steady work in slow weeks.
No, and it's worth being straight about. We don't track parts by truck, calculate spring sizes or keep dealer price books. Tools built around inventory do that better. Plenty of garage door companies use one for parts and Obravetta for everything around the customer: the calls, the quotes, the follow-up, the reviews and the website.
With reviews and a real local website. Google's own Business Profile documentation says more reviews and positive ratings can help local ranking. Asking every customer for a review automatically, the day the job is done, is the cheapest way to build that. A website with your real trucks, real jobs and real address shows a homeowner you're local.
Importing your customer list from a CSV takes an afternoon, and missed-call text back plus quote follow-up can be live the same day. The part with a real wait is 10DLC registration, the carrier approval required to send business texts in the US, which takes a few business days on any platform. A built-for-you website takes longer because we need your photos, service area and services.
That's who Obravetta Starter at $27/month is for, and missed-call text back pays off fastest for a solo tech, since nobody else is answering the phone. Starter is a single seat and doesn't include AI voice answering or the built-for-you website; both start on Growth at $97. Once you're running several trucks, Pro at $297 has unlimited seats.
Fourteen days is long enough to import your customer list, get texting approved, and have missed-call text back and quote follow-up running. It doesn’t need a demo call.
