Door stuck open at 10pm?
Josie answers.
A garage door stuck open at night is a security problem; a car trapped inside is a missed shift. Josie sorts those from routine repairs, quotes your emergency fee, and pages your on-call tech.

Your rules decide who gets woken
A starting template for garage door. Move anything between the two lists.
Wake the on-call tech
- Door stuck open (home not secure)
- Car trapped inside, needed tonight or early morning
- Broken spring with the door off its track
- Door hit by a vehicle
Book for the morning
- Noisy door
- Remote or keypad not working
- Tune-ups
- New door quotes
- Opener installs
The spring broke and the door won't close. I can't leave the house open all night.
Please don't try to lift it by hand; the door is very heavy without the spring. What's the address?
Rule matched: "Door stuck open" → Emergency
Our after-hours visit is $129, credited toward the repair. Shall I send a tech tonight?
