What Google Local Services costs garage door companies
Stuck door or new door
A repair for a car that cannot get out and a quote for a new door look the same in a two-line message. The first reply asks one question, such as whether the door is stuck closed right now, so you know what to do first when you look at your leads.
Quick replies count beyond the one job
Google counts responsiveness in Local Services ranking, and every message is already a paid lead. Answering in about a minute, even when the crew is up a ladder, keeps both the job and your position.
A real request, and the reply that goes out
New leadreplied in 60s
Garage door will not open, my car is stuck inside. Heard a loud bang this morning. It is a two car door, about 12 years old.
A loud bang on a door that age is almost always a broken torsion spring. Please do not force the door or run the opener again — those springs are under a lot of tension. Is there a second door into the garage, or is that the only way in? Tell me what time today works for you and I will confirm as soon as I can.

Questions about Google Local Services from garage door companies
Will it tell the customer not to force the door?
If you want that said, write it into “How to reply to customers” in Settings, for example not to pull the door by hand after a loud bang. The reply follows your instructions.
Will it quote a spring or opener repair?
Only if the price is in your price list or Google Sheet. Otherwise it says you will confirm after looking at the door.
Does it schedule the visit?
No. With a calendar connected it can suggest open times and says you will confirm. It never books anything itself.
