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.
Month-to-month on every tier. No contract, no cancellation fee. You keep your data if you leave.
Text-back fires the day you sign on. No setup fee. No contract. 30-day refund guarantee.

See it before you buy it
No slideshow, no actor. A screen recording of our own assistant handling the two questions every owner asks: what happens to the 9pm call I miss, and will it invent things about my business.
Real answers from our live demo bot — unscripted, recorded on this site.
Visitor: I run an HVAC company. A customer calls at 9pm and I can't pick up — what happens?
Anchor Co AI: Right now? They hit voicemail and you've lost them to whoever picks up first. With our chatbot, they hit your website at 9pm, ask “Do you do emergency service?” or “Are you licensed in my county?” — and get an instant answer. The bot captures their name, number, and address. You wake up to a lead instead of a missed call. That's the whole thing: your customers get answers 24/7, you only deal with the calls that actually need you, and you're not losing jobs to competitors who answer faster. Since you're in HVAC, the bot can handle all the common questions — licensing by county, service area, whether you do emergency calls, minimum job size, how long estimates take. You train it on your website in about 10 minutes, and it goes live in an afternoon. Want to try it? You can start free at anchorcoai.com/signup — no credit card required. Test it on your actual website for 14 days and see if it captures leads you would've missed.
Visitor: Will it make stuff up about my business?
Anchor Co AI: No. The bot only answers from what you've given it — your website content, your FAQs, pricing, service areas, whatever you add. If a question falls outside that (something the bot doesn't know), it's honest about it. Instead of guessing, it says “I don't have that info” and asks for their name and contact details so you can follow up personally. It won't make up licensing claims, pricing, or service details. That's the safeguard. Your bot is only as smart as the information you feed it — which means you stay in control of what it says about your business. Honestly the easiest way to see if it works for your business is to just try it. Free plan, no card. anchorcoai.com/signup
