Why Choose Us
Picture your dealership's appointment system as a finely tuned V8 engine—powerful, but only if every piston fires in sync. We build a bespoke AI scheduler from the ground up, integrating directly with your Dealer Management System (DMS) like CDK or Reynolds, and CRM tools. No off-the-shelf patches. This isn't assembly-line software; it's a precision tool tailored to your workflow, handling everything from oil change bookings to test drive slots with real-time availability checks. We train the AI on your historical data to predict peak times, suggest optimal slots, and even send personalized reminders based on customer service history. The result? A system that runs like clockwork, saving your team hours while keeping bays full and customers happy.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Time and Revenue Gains Tailored to Your Dealership
Reclaim 12+ Hours Weekly on Scheduling Drudgery
Reclaim 12+ Hours Weekly on Scheduling Drudgery: Your service team spends too much time playing phone tag with customers chasing oil changes or tire rotations. Our automation handles inbound calls and web bookings 24/7, routing them seamlessly to open service bays and integrating with your Reynolds & Reynolds DMS. Dealerships see a 35% productivity boost, redirecting staff to upsell opportunities like extended warranties—translating to $20K+ in added revenue per advisor annually, with full implementation in under two weeks.
Drive 28% Higher Show Rates and Technician Efficiency
Drive 28% Higher Show Rates and Technician Efficiency: No-shows are like flat tires—unexpected and costly, idling your lifts and wasting prime slots for alignments or AC recharges. Our AI sends smart reminders via text or email, pulling from past visit data and vehicle mileage to personalize them (e.g., 'Your Ford F-150's last alignment was 6 months ago—book now?'). This cuts no-shows by nearly a third, maximizing bay utilization from 65% to 90%, and delivers a clear ROI within the first quarter through reduced idle time on multi-bay lifts.
Secure 15-20% Cost Savings on Admin Overhead
Secure 15-20% Cost Savings on Admin Overhead: Juggling calendars across sales, service, and parts feels like herding cats in a showroom. We unify it all into one dashboard, automating confirmations and reschedules while syncing with warranty claim systems. This eliminates double-entry errors that plague 70% of dealerships, reducing admin costs by thousands monthly—such as avoiding $500+ in monthly rework for incorrect VIN-linked bookings—while ensuring compliance with manufacturer warranty scheduling protocols.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our service desk was buried under appointment calls every morning for routine maintenance—we were losing two bays a day to no-shows on brake jobs. Their custom system integrated with our CDK Global DMS overnight, and within a month, show rates jumped from 72% to 94% for our Toyota service line. It's saved us about 10 hours a week, letting advisors focus on real customer needs like recommending hybrid battery checks instead of rescheduling headaches."
Mike Reynolds
Service Manager, Thompson Ford Dealership, Denver, CO
"We run three locations, and syncing test drive bookings with inventory was a nightmare—customers showing up for unavailable 2023 Chevy Silverado models during peak weekends. AIQ built us a tailored AI scheduler that checks stock in real-time via our Dealertrack system. No more wasted afternoons; we've booked 25% more drives for electric vehicle demos, and the ROI hit in just six weeks with an extra $15K in sales conversions. Feels like having an extra salesperson on the floor."
Sarah Patel
General Manager, Apex Auto Group, Multi-Location Franchise in Texas
"Manual scheduling was killing our after-hours lead capture—prospects calling for transmission repair quotes would hang up if unanswered, especially for import brands. Now, the AI voice agent books service slots instantly, even pulling VIN details from our Auto/Mate DMS for accuracy on European models. We've cut admin time by 8 hours weekly and seen an 18% uptick in booked repairs, adding $8K monthly in parts revenue. Solid work from a team that gets dealership chaos."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation integrate with my existing Dealer Management System?
We specialize in seamless, two-way integrations with popular DMS platforms like CDK Global, Reynolds & Reynolds, or Dealertrack. Our process starts with a full audit of your current setup to map data flows—think appointment details, customer VINs, and service histories—ensuring no manual re-entry. Unlike superficial connectors that break during updates, we build custom APIs for robust, real-time syncing. For a typical dealership, this means bookings auto-populate in your DMS within seconds, reducing errors by 95%. We've done this for over 30 automotive clients, with deployment in under four weeks and zero downtime during go-live.
What kind of time savings can a mid-sized dealership expect?
Based on our benchmarks with similar clients, you could save 10-15 hours per week per location on scheduling tasks alone. Service advisors no longer chase confirmations or resolve double-bookings, which plague 60% of dealerships during peak months. Our AI handles inbound requests via phone, web, or app, while predictive features fill gaps proactively. One client, a 50-employee dealership, reported reclaiming 12 hours weekly, redirecting it to customer upsells that added $15K monthly revenue. ROI typically hits within 2-3 months, with full efficiency gains scaling as your team adapts.
Is the system customizable for both sales and service appointments?
Absolutely—it's designed as a unified engine for your entire operation, tailored to handle sales test drives, service bookings, and parts consultations. We customize based on your workflow: for sales, it syncs with inventory to avoid booking unavailable models; for service, it factors in technician specialties and bay types. No generic templates here; we train the AI on your data for nuances like seasonal recalls or EV charging slots. A recent project for a multi-franchise dealer integrated both streams into one dashboard, cutting cross-department conflicts by 40% and boosting overall utilization from 70% to 88%.
How secure is the customer data in this automation?
Security is non-negotiable in automotive, where VINs and service records are sensitive. We build with enterprise-grade encryption (AES-256) and comply with standards like GDPR and CCPA, plus dealership-specific regs for warranty data. All integrations use secure APIs with role-based access—admins see everything, advisors only relevant slots. Our systems include audit logs for every booking change, helping with compliance audits. We've audited and fortified setups for clients handling high-volume data, ensuring zero breaches in five years. Post-deployment, we provide ongoing monitoring to keep it airtight as threats evolve.
What happens if we need to scale to multiple locations?
Our architecture is built for growth, supporting single-site startups to 10+ location groups without performance dips. We create a central hub that syncs across sites, with location-specific rules—like prioritizing bays at your busiest franchise. Scaling involves minimal reconfiguration; for one client expanding from three to seven outlets, we added multi-site visibility in two weeks, maintaining 99.9% uptime. Features like centralized reporting let you track chain-wide metrics, such as average show rates per location, optimizing resource allocation. It's not bolted-on; it's engineered to expand with your business, delivering consistent ROI as you grow.
Can the AI handle complex requests, like scheduling around vehicle recalls?
Yes, our AI is trained on your dealership's data to manage complexities like recall-driven appointments or multi-step services (e.g., full brake jobs requiring parts availability). It cross-references NHTSA recall databases with your inventory, suggesting compliant slots automatically. For intricate cases, it escalates to humans seamlessly—say, a customer needing a loaner during service. In practice, this has helped clients reduce recall backlog by 50%, turning a compliance headache into efficient revenue. We fine-tune the model post-launch based on your feedback, ensuring it evolves with industry shifts like new emissions standards.
