You replace a spring and the owner doesn't think about the door again until the next thing breaks. By then, they've forgotten your name.
Garage door play · Tune-up plans
Annual garage door tune-up plans, sold to customers you already fixed.
Most garage door customers call once, get a spring fixed, and disappear for ten years. A yearly tune-up plan keeps you in their garage every year, catches problems early, and gives you first call on the opener and the door. Spur finds past customers and look-alikes, mails a plain plan offer, and sends renewal reminders automatically.

The problem
Garage door customers disappear for a decade after every repair.
Worn rollers, frayed cables, and misaligned sensors are cheap to fix early. Left alone, they become a door off its track.
Without recurring revenue, every month starts from zero, and your business is worth less when you want to sell it.

Hi Monique,
We replaced the springs on your garage door last March. They should have many years left, and a yearly check is the easiest way to make sure the rest of the door keeps up.
Our tune-up plan is $99 a year. Each visit includes adjusting spring tension, inspecting cables, rollers, and hinges, lubricating moving parts, tightening hardware, and testing the auto-reverse and photo-eye sensors. Members get 15% off parts and priority scheduling if anything breaks.
Scan the code to see everything included and join. You can cancel anytime.

How to sell garage door tune-up plans
Garage door companies are mostly built on one-time jobs, which makes revenue unpredictable and keeps marketing costs high. A yearly tune-up plan changes that. Each member pays a modest annual fee, gets a visit every year, and calls you first when something breaks. Over time, a base of members also makes the business more valuable, because buyers pay more for recurring revenue than for one-time jobs.
Your best prospects are customers you've already helped. Owners who had a spring, cable, or opener replaced have seen your work and know the door can fail. Many of them would happily pay to avoid the next surprise, if someone offered a plan. Look-alike homes on the same streets, built the same year with the same equipment, are the natural next audience.
Make the plan concrete. List exactly what the yearly visit includes: spring tension adjustment, cable and roller inspection, lubrication, hardware tightening, and a test of the automatic reversing and photo-eye sensors. Add a clear benefit for members, such as a parts discount and priority service. State the annual price on the card.
Keep safety honest and practical. Door industry safety guidance recommends that owners test the auto-reverse feature regularly, and most don't. A yearly professional check is a real service, and a plan that includes it is easy to explain without scare tactics.
Show the value at renewal. A renewal card before each anniversary that recaps what was checked and anything you caught early reminds members why they pay. Plans whose value is visible renew at higher rates.
Finally, use the visit well. Each tune-up is a chance to note the opener's age, the condition of the door, and anything that will need attention in the next few years. Share that honestly with prices, and members will buy their next opener or door from you.
