Why Choose Us
Tire shops thrive on speed and reliability, much like a well-balanced wheel. But fragmented tools leave gaps in customer service. At AIQ Labs, we build AI voice agents from the ground up, tailored to your exact operations—integrating with your POS, inventory systems, and CRM. These agents handle calls like pros: qualifying needs, booking bays, and even suggesting tire upsells based on vehicle data. No more dropped calls during slow shifts or busy rushes. Our approach replaces subscription sprawl with a unified, owned system that scales with your shop's growth, ensuring 24/7 availability without the overhead.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Efficiency in Every Call
Never Miss a Lead, 24/7
Never Miss a Lead, 24/7: Your AI agent fields calls round-the-clock for urgent flat tire repairs or blowout assistance, capturing needs that would otherwise slip away. Automotive industry data from NAPA Auto Parts indicates tire shops lose 30% of potential revenue to unanswered after-hours queries—our solutions reverse that by instantly booking mobile tire services, increasing annual appointments by 25% within the first six months.
Boost Customer Satisfaction with Instant Responses
Boost Customer Satisfaction with Instant Responses: Drivers demand quick confirmations on tire pressure checks or winter tread availability. Our agents deliver them in seconds via integrated voice responses, slashing wait times from 10-15 minutes to under 30 seconds. This drives up Net Promoter Scores in auto services—shops report 40% fewer complaints about delays and a 35% rise in repeat tire alignments, allowing technicians to prioritize bay work.
Streamline Operations and Cut Overhead
Streamline Operations and Cut Overhead: Automate routine inquiries on tire balancing or warranty claims, freeing mechanics for complex repairs like wheel alignments. No extra hires needed during summer road trip surges; our agents manage call volumes up to 200% spikes, reducing labor costs by 20% according to Tire Industry Association reports. Seamless integration with shop management software eliminates silos, ensuring real-time updates on tire stock for faster turnarounds.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we'd miss half our weekend calls for flat tire emergencies on I-95—frustrated drivers just headed to the big-box tire chain nearby. Now, the voice agent qualifies the issue, checks for spare tire stock, and books a same-day slot, delivering a 28% increase in off-hours revenue since our Q2 rollout. It's like having a tire tech on duty 24/7 without the payroll."
Mike Rivera
Owner, Riverside Tire & Auto Service
"Linking the AI to our tire inventory database was transformative. A fleet manager called at 2 AM needing 18-inch all-season radials for their delivery vans; the agent verified stock levels, recommended load-rated alternatives, and set up curbside pickup for 8 AM. We've eliminated manual callbacks, saving 5-7 hours weekly on admin and securing deals that previously went cold overnight."
Sarah Chen
Service Manager, Apex Tire & Wheel Specialists
"Last winter's storm season overwhelmed us with calls for snow tire mounts and chains. The AI triaged basic queries on tread depth requirements, qualified urgent cases, and booked 15 additional bay slots daily without pulling techs from the floor. Overtime dropped by 40%, boosting team morale—no more 12-hour shifts just manning the phone. Best ROI for our independent shop in years."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the AI voice agent handle urgent tire emergencies like flats at night?
Our agents are programmed to recognize urgency in calls, such as keywords like 'flat tire' or 'roadside.' They gather details like location and vehicle type, then either book an immediate slot or escalate to your on-call team via SMS integration. For instance, if a customer calls at 11 PM about a blowout, the agent confirms availability, suggests a mobile service option if you offer it, and logs everything in your system. This ensures no lead is lost, with benchmarks showing 90% resolution without human intervention for standard emergencies, keeping your shop's response time under 2 minutes.
Can the AI integrate with my existing tire inventory software?
Absolutely. We custom-build integrations with popular systems like TireMaster or Shop-Ware, pulling real-time stock data so the agent can confirm availability for specific sizes, like 225/65R17 all-seasons. During a call, it checks inventory instantly, avoiding overpromises that frustrate customers. We've done this for dozens of shops, reducing stock-related errors by 35%. Setup involves mapping your APIs securely, with full testing to handle edge cases like low-stock alerts during peak seasons.
What if a customer has a complex question about tire warranties?
The agent is trained on your shop's warranty policies and general tire knowledge, providing accurate info like coverage for road hazards. For nuanced cases, it seamlessly transfers the call to your team with full context pre-loaded—think transcribed query and customer details. This hybrid approach ensures 70% of warranty calls are resolved autonomously, per our deployments, while complex ones get expert attention without starting from scratch. We customize the knowledge base from your documents for precision.
How much does a custom AI voice agent cost for a small tire shop?
Pricing starts at $5,000 for initial build and integration, tailored to your shop size—say, 2-5 bays with moderate call volume. This includes custom training on tire scenarios and a year's support. Ongoing costs are minimal, around $200/month for hosting and updates, far below hiring a receptionist. ROI hits in 3-6 months via captured leads; one client recouped investment in two months from after-hours bookings. We provide a free audit to estimate based on your current call logs.
Is the system reliable during high-traffic periods like Black Friday tire sales?
Yes, built on robust cloud infrastructure, it scales to handle spikes—up to 10x normal volume without lag. We've stress-tested for automotive peaks, like winter rushes, ensuring 99.9% uptime. Features include queue management for overflow and post-call analytics to optimize. Shops report no dropped calls during sales events, with conversion rates holding at 25% even under load, thanks to our production-grade engineering that outpaces generic voice tools.
How do I train the AI on my shop's specific services?
We start with a collaborative session where you provide details on services like rotations, balances, or TPMS resets. Our team then trains the model using scripts and your FAQs, incorporating automotive terms accurately. It learns iteratively—after launch, it refines from real calls with your feedback. This ensures responses match your brand, like recommending your preferred tire brands. Full training takes 2-4 weeks, resulting in agents that feel like extensions of your staff.
