First-Call Script (Spring)
"Thanks for calling [Company] — I know a broken spring is urgent. First: please don't try to lift the door manually; the spring carries the weight.
Is it a single or double-wide door? [Confirm]
We have a [morning/afternoon] arrival window today in [area]. Standard spring replacement is typically $[range] after we verify spring type on site.
What's the service address? I'll text confirmation in 60 seconds."
