What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we were buried in paper logs for tire inventory—taking two full days a month to count our Goodyear and Continental stock. Now, it's all automated with real-time RFID scanning, and we've cut errors that used to cost us $2,000 in overstock on low-profile tires. Implementation took just three weeks, and our bays are running smoother than a fresh set of Michelins, with alignments up 20%."
Mike Reynolds
Owner, Reynolds Tire & Auto Pros in Denver, CO
"Scheduling was a nightmare with walk-ins for tire rotations and no-shows eating profits during monsoon season. Their custom AI now handles it all, predicting busy periods from local weather data and auto-filling slots for alignments. We saved 18 hours a week and boosted appointments by 22% last season, turning idle lifts into revenue. Finally, a system built for independent tire shops, not some generic app."
Sarah Chen
Service Manager, Urban Wheels Tire Center in Seattle, WA
"We struggled with supplier orders arriving late during peak summer for SUV all-terrains. AIQ's automation forecasts needs based on our sales trends of Firestone tires and auto-places orders with vendors. No more stockouts on popular sizes, and we've reduced holding costs by 15% in six months by optimizing warehouse space. It's like having an extra mechanic for operations, especially during back-to-school rushes."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does AIQ Labs' automation handle peak tire change seasons?
Our custom AI anticipates surges by analyzing past data, local events, and weather forecasts to optimize staffing and stock. For instance, it can auto-adjust schedules and order extra all-seasons two weeks out. Tire shops using this see 30% less overtime during rushes, with one client handling 40% more volume without adding staff. We tailor it to your shop's patterns, ensuring no bottlenecks when everyone needs snow tires.
What integrations work with my existing tire shop software?
We specialize in connecting to platforms like Shop-Ware, TireMaster, and even QuickBooks for invoicing. Our deep API work creates unbreakable links, pulling tire stock levels directly into scheduling. No more double-entry errors that plague manual setups. Implementation involves a quick audit to map your exact flow, delivering a unified system that feels native. Shops report 50% faster month-end closes after integration.
How secure is the AI system for customer tire data?
Security is non-negotiable in automotive, so we build with encryption and role-based access, compliant with standards like GDPR and DOT regs. Customer histories, like rotation schedules, stay locked down. We've audited systems for 20+ tire operations without a single breach. Plus, you own the data—no third-party risks from subscription tools. Regular updates keep it robust against threats, giving you peace of mind while focusing on services.
What's the typical timeline for setting up AI automation in a tire shop?
From consultation to launch, expect 4-6 weeks for a full custom build. We start with a one-week discovery to map your workflows, then two weeks for development and testing on sample data like your inventory logs. The final week is deployment with training. It's phased to minimize disruption—many shops go live during off-peak. Post-launch, we optimize based on your first month's usage, ensuring quick wins like 15-hour time savings right away.
Can this AI help with tire upsells and customer retention?
Absolutely. Our AI analyzes service history to suggest timely upsells, like nitrogen fills during rotations, integrated into work orders. It also automates retention emails based on mileage trackers, boosting repeat visits by 25% for clients. Tailored to tire specifics, it flags wear patterns from your data. No pushy sales—just smart nudges that fit your shop's voice, driving loyalty without extra marketing spend.
How do I measure ROI after implementing the automation?
We embed tracking from day one, with dashboards showing metrics like hours saved on audits (target: 20/week) and revenue from optimized slots. Benchmark against industry stats: tire shops average 15-20% efficiency gains. Our clients hit ROI in 3 months, often recouping costs through $8,000 in labor savings. We provide quarterly reviews to refine, ensuring sustained gains as your operations evolve.
