Built for boat repair shops
When you're under a hull or knee-deep in an engine, every missed call is a missed repair job. Anchor Co AI texts back in under 60 seconds, captures the make, model, and symptom, and adds the job to your queue — automatically.
The problem
A boater's engine died on a lake trip. They call every marina and repair shop in range. You're under a boat in your lift. The shop that answers gets the tow, the diagnosis, and the repair job.
Every boat owner wants their vessel ready before Memorial Day. Those are $500–$3,000 prep jobs. The shop that captures every spring inquiry — including the ones at 8pm in February — fills its schedule first.
A boater discovers damage to their hull on a Sunday and immediately starts researching repair shops. A competitor's chatbot answers their questions about fiberglass repair costs and schedules a drop-off. You find out Tuesday.
A boater who misses July because their engine sat undiagnosed doesn't forget which shop failed to respond. But a shop that responded immediately within 60 seconds gets a loyal customer — and their referrals.
The solution
We train the AI on your full service menu — engine diagnostics, fiberglass repair, winterization, spring commissioning, electrical, and more. Every inquiry gets a real response within 60 seconds, 24 hours a day, even during peak season when your bays are full.
Trained on your boat repair services. Answers questions about engine diagnostics, hull repair, and seasonal prep — captures leads and books consultations automatically, even at midnight.
Boater calls while you're under a hull — you can't answer. A text fires in under 60 seconds opening an intake conversation. The lead stays warm instead of calling your competitor.
After every completed repair, the system sends a review request. More reviews, higher ranking, more boat owners finding your shop first when they search for marine repair.
How it works
Can't answer. An emergency repair lead — $2,000 in labor and parts — calls the next shop on the list.
"Hi, this is [Shop]. Sorry we missed your call — are you having a problem with your boat? Engine, electrical, or hull? We'll get you in as fast as possible." Conversation starts immediately.
Make, model, engine type, symptom, urgency — all captured. Emergencies get flagged. Scheduled service goes into your queue. No calls drop through the cracks during a busy week.
Founding-client pricing
Foundation: website + hosting + AI chatbot + Google Business Profile + missed-call text-back. Growth adds local SEO, invoicing, and scheduling at $997/mo. Full Office adds a 24/7 AI phone receptionist at $1,497/mo.
Yes. We configure the chatbot to capture make, model, engine hours, and symptom across all boat types your shop services. The intake qualifies the job so your tech has context before the boat even arrives.
Yes. We train the chatbot on your seasonal service menu — winterization checklist, shrink wrap, spring commissioning, oil and filter service, impeller replacement. Customers get pricing ranges and schedule into your seasonal slots.
The chatbot can capture emergency tow requests and immediately notify your service team or the towing company you partner with. It won't replace a phone call in a true emergency but it gets you responding within 60 seconds.
If you have a retail parts counter alongside your service operation, yes. We configure separate flows for service inquiries versus parts lookups. Growth tier can integrate with inventory systems for real-time availability.
