Garage door companies handle two very different leads: planned replacements (homeowner wants a new insulated door with a quiet opener) and emergency service (broken spring, opener stopped working, door off its tracks). Both leads decide fast. The replacement buyer wants a real ballpark on a 16x7 insulated door. The emergency caller wants to know if same-day service is possible and what a broken-spring repair costs. Generic forms force both into a callback queue. Your WordPress site already has the door SKUs, opener models, and service call rates as postmeta.

SleekAI maps your garage_door_unit_price, opener_unit_price, spring_replacement_cost, and service call dispatch rate into chatbot variables. The bot asks door size (single 9x7, double 16x7, double 18x8), insulation R-value preference (non-insulated, R-9, R-18), and opener model (LiftMaster 8500W wall mount, 84505R belt drive). For service calls, the bot asks symptoms (one spring broken, opener clicks but does not move, door crooked) and quotes the repair or dispatches a tech. Display conditions split the planned-purchase bot from the emergency-service bot.

Generic bots cannot do this because they do not know that a torsion spring replacement requires both springs replaced at once ($380 typical), that a LiftMaster 8500W jackshaft opener needs ceiling clearance, or that an insulated R-18 door adds $480 to the unit price. They cannot ask whether the homeowner can hear the spring still holding or if the door fell off the tracks completely. SleekAI logs every conversation with origin URL so you can see which service codes prospects actually describe.

Garage door companies are unusual because they sell two products at once: planned replacements that compete on price and emergency service that competes on response time. The contractor who answers a broken-spring call within 10 minutes wins that customer for life. The one who sends them to voicemail loses to the next door company on the search results.

Meanwhile the planned-replacement buyer is comparing $1,500 to $4,500 door quotes and wants a real number in chat before they will book a measure visit. SleekAI handles both paths from one WordPress site. The service-triage bot answers at 9pm when a spring snaps and quotes the dual-spring replacement honestly.

The planned-purchase bot quotes a 16x7 R-18 insulated door with a quiet wall-mount opener and books the install slot. The two paths use the same product postmeta but follow different conversation logic, scoped by display condition. Garage door jobs average $2,000 to $5,500 for door replacement and $250 to $480 for service calls.

The economics favor a real triage bot at every step. One extra booked install per week plus three extra same-day service dispatches per week easily covers the chatbot, the API tokens, and the office overhead with significant margin. Companies that run a real bot for both paths tend to see their dispatch board fill earlier in the day and their install calendar book out further into the future because nobody is leaking leads to slow responses.
