Why Choose Us
At AIQ Labs, we don't deploy off-the-shelf bots. We build sophisticated AI voice agents tailored to your dealership's exact needs—from qualifying trade-ins to scheduling oil changes. These systems integrate seamlessly with your CRM and inventory tools, providing instant, natural responses that feel like a seasoned salesperson. Imagine a prospect calling at 10 PM about a used F-150; our agent verifies details, books a test drive for the next morning, and logs it all in your system. This isn't templated tech—it's a custom engine designed for the relentless pace of car sales, ensuring you never miss a deal in a market where timing is everything.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Round-the-Clock Efficiency for Your Dealership
Never Miss a Lead, Day or Night
Never Miss a Lead, Day or Night: Our AI agents answer every call instantly, qualifying buyers on the spot for models like F-150s or Camrys, and booking test drives or service appointments without delay. Dealerships see a 35% uplift in lead conversion within 48 hours, turning midnight inquiries into morning showrooms full of eager customers ready for VIN-specific walkthroughs.
Boost Customer Satisfaction with Instant Responses
Boost Customer Satisfaction with Instant Responses: Customers expect 24/7 access, just like their vehicles demand reliable service for oil changes or alignments. We eliminate wait times, resolving queries on vehicle availability, extended warranty coverage, or recall status immediately, which slashes frustration and increases repeat business by up to 28% over six months.
Capture Every Opportunity Without Extra Costs
Capture Every Opportunity Without Extra Costs: Say goodbye to after-hours gaps that cost dealerships an average of $150K in lost sales annually from unhandled trade-in valuations or parts inquiries. Our agents handle routine tasks like financing pre-approvals for zero-down leases, freeing your team for high-value closes on premium trims and optimizing your efficiency like a well-tuned V8.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's voice agent, we'd lose half our weekend calls to voicemail, especially for trade-ins on used Rams and Silverados. Now, it qualifies leads with mileage checks and books viewings right away—last month alone, we closed three extra deals from Saturday night leads worth over $75K. It's like having a night shift without the payroll hit."
Mike Reynolds
General Manager, Riverside Ford Dealership in Sacramento, CA
"Our service department was swamped with after-hours emergency calls about brake issues on hybrids or tire rotations for fleet vans. The AI agent triages them perfectly, scheduling slots via integration with our DMS and even pulling VIN-specific recall details from our system. We've cut no-shows by 40% in the past quarter and kept customers happy without burning out our certified techs."
Sarah Patel
Service Director, Apex Auto Group in Atlanta, GA
"During our big SUV promo last quarter on models like the Toyota Highlander, calls spiked at odd hours from remote buyers. The custom agent handled real-time inventory checks for trim levels and pre-qualified families on financing for third-row seating, leading to a 25% sales bump in family-oriented units. It's integrated so well with our CRM, it's indistinguishable from our best reps during peak hours."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the AI voice agent handle complex automotive questions like trade-in valuations?
Our agents are trained on your specific inventory and pricing data, pulling real-time values from integrated systems. For instance, if a caller asks about trading in a 2019 Accord, it cross-references mileage, condition prompts, and market benchmarks to provide an instant estimate—then books an appraisal. This isn't guesswork; it's powered by custom models that learn from your historical deals, achieving 90% accuracy. We fine-tune it during onboarding to match your dealership's valuation process, ensuring responses align with your profit margins and customer trust. Plus, it seamlessly transfers to a specialist if details get too nuanced, maintaining that personal touch.
Can this integrate with our existing dealership management system?
Absolutely. We specialize in deep, two-way integrations with platforms like CDK Global, Reynolds & Reynolds, or Dealertrack. The AI agent doesn't just log calls—it updates customer records, schedules in your calendar, and even reserves service slots directly. For example, a late-night call about an oil change gets booked, parts ordered, and a reminder sent—all without manual entry. This eliminates the 'integration nightmares' many dealerships face, creating a unified workflow that saves your team 15-20 hours weekly on admin. Our engineers handle the heavy lifting, testing for edge cases like high-volume end-of-month rushes.
What if a customer prefers speaking to a human during the call?
We design for smooth handoffs. The AI detects hesitation or complex needs—like haggling on a lease—and transfers instantly to your on-call staff with full context: transcript, lead details, and even suggested next steps. In practice, 70% of calls resolve without escalation, but for those that do, it's like passing the baton in a relay—seamless and informed. This hybrid approach boosts satisfaction scores, as customers get quick resolutions without long holds. We've seen dealerships reduce escalations by 40% after deployment, freeing humans for high-value interactions.
How secure is the AI voice agent for handling sensitive customer data?
Security is non-negotiable in automotive, where you're dealing with financing info and personal details. Our agents use enterprise-grade encryption for all calls, complying with GDPR, CCPA, and TCPA standards. Data is stored in your owned system, not ours, with role-based access so only authorized staff see logs. For instance, when verifying a buyer's credit pre-approval, it processes info securely without storing unnecessary details. Regular audits and our track record in regulated industries—like collections platforms—ensure zero breaches. You own the data, we just build the fortress around it.
What's the setup time and cost for a custom AI voice agent?
Setup takes 4-6 weeks for full customization, starting with a quick discovery call to map your needs. Unlike subscription models that lock you in monthly, our one-time build gives you ownership—typically $25K-$50K for a dealership of your size, depending on integrations. This pays off fast: clients recoup costs in 3-4 months through captured leads worth $100K+ annually. No ongoing fees beyond minimal hosting, and we provide training so your team owns it. Think of it as investing in a custom lift for your shop—upfront effort, lifelong efficiency.
Does the AI agent work well with regional accents or non-English speakers?
Yes, our advanced speech recognition is tuned for diverse accents, from Southern drawls to urban dialects common in auto sales regions. It supports English, Spanish, and can add others like Mandarin for import-heavy markets. In testing with dealerships, accuracy hits 95% even on thick accents asking about truck bed sizes or EV ranges. We train it on automotive-specific audio datasets, so it catches slang like 'fully loaded' without missing a beat. This inclusivity helps capture leads from all demographics, expanding your reach without extra hires.
