What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Round-the-Clock Efficiency That Drives Revenue
Capture Every After-Hours Lead Without Hiring Extra Staff
Capture Every After-Hours Lead Without Hiring Extra Staff: Auto body shops lose up to 40% of potential jobs from evening calls on minor collisions like door dings. Our AI agents handle these instantly, qualifying urgency via voice interaction and booking estimates for frame straightening—resulting in a 28% increase in booked repairs within the first 3 months, as seen in industry benchmarks from collision repair networks like I-CAR.
Boost Customer Satisfaction with Immediate, Expert Responses
Boost Customer Satisfaction with Immediate, Expert Responses: Customers expect quick answers on repair timelines for issues like hail-damaged roofs, just like they want fast fixes for their vehicles. Our voice AI provides accurate quotes on PDR (paintless dent repair) or bumper work 24/7, reducing wait times from hours to seconds and lifting satisfaction scores by 45% in 6-month trials, per automotive service surveys from SEMA.
Eliminate Scheduling Errors and Maximize Bay Utilization
Eliminate Scheduling Errors and Maximize Bay Utilization: Double-bookings on frame alignments or unibody repairs eat into your profitability. Integrated AI voice agents sync with your shop management software to confirm slots precisely for tasks like strut tower fixes, cutting no-shows by 32% and filling your schedule like a well-tuned engine—optimized for peak seasons like winter storm repairs on undercarriages.
What Clients Say
"We used to miss half our Saturday calls for dent repairs on quarter panels, and customers would go elsewhere. Since implementing AIQ's voice agent six months ago, we've captured 15 more jobs a month for PDR services—it's like having a night shift without the payroll hit, boosting our winter repair volume by 20%."

Owner, Riverside Auto Body Shop in Denver, CO
"The AI handles quote requests for paint jobs on rocker panels flawlessly, even pulling our rates from the Mitchell estimating system. In the first quarter after rollout, our after-hours bookings for scratch repairs jumped 25%, and our techs hit full utilization without overtime chaos during spring allergy season pollen damage peaks."
Sarah Chen
Operations Manager, Precision Collision Center
"Dealing with hail season calls for roof panel dents was a nightmare—voicemails piled up overnight. Now the AI qualifies damage over the phone using hail size estimates and schedules intakes for glue pull techniques. We've reduced lead loss by 30% in the last hail season and kept our Google review scores above 4.8 stars year-round."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the AI voice agent handle specific auto body repair inquiries?
Our agents are custom-trained on your shop's services, from dent pulling to full panel replacements. When a caller describes a side swipe damage, the AI asks targeted questions about severity and location, then provides an accurate estimate range based on your pricing data. It integrates directly with your system to check part availability, like fenders or paint matches, ensuring responses feel expert and personalized. This isn't a generic bot—it's built to understand automotive nuances, reducing misquotes by 40% and building caller trust immediately. We fine-tune it during onboarding to reflect your workflow precisely.
What if a call needs human intervention for a complicated repair?
The AI is designed for seamless handoffs. For instance, if a customer describes potential frame damage from a rear-end collision, it qualifies the basics then transfers to your on-duty technician or schedules a callback with full context logged in your CRM. No details get lost—like the caller's insurance info or photos sent via follow-up text. This hybrid approach ensures 95% of routine calls are handled autonomously, while complex ones reach experts without frustrating waits. We've seen shops cut response times from days to minutes, keeping satisfaction high even after hours.
Can it integrate with our existing shop management software?
Absolutely. We build deep, two-way API connections to tools like Shop-Ware or Mitchell, syncing appointment books, customer histories, and inventory in real time. Imagine a late-night call for a bumper quote: the AI pulls your current labor rates and part stock, books the slot, and updates your dashboard instantly. This eliminates double-entry errors that plague many shops, saving hours weekly. Our engineering team handles the full integration, testing for edge cases like overlapping repair schedules, so your operations run smoother from day one.
How secure is the AI for handling customer data in calls?
Security is paramount, especially with sensitive details like VIN numbers or insurance claims. We use enterprise-grade encryption for all voice data and comply with standards like GDPR and CCPA, plus automotive-specific protocols for repair estimates. Calls are recorded only with consent, stored securely, and accessible via your unified dashboard. No third-party subscriptions mean no shared vulnerabilities—everything is owned by you. In our deployments, we've maintained 100% uptime and zero breaches, giving shop owners peace of mind while capturing leads without risk.
What kind of results can auto body shops expect from this?
Shops typically see a 25-35% uplift in lead capture within the first month, particularly from after-hours calls on minor collisions or paint touch-ups. One client reported booking 12 extra jobs in the first week alone, directly boosting revenue during slow periods. By automating routine inquiries, your team focuses on high-value work like alignments, improving overall efficiency by 20%. We track metrics like call-to-book ratios in a custom dashboard, optimizing continuously to match industry benchmarks for collision repair conversion rates.
How long does it take to set up the AI voice agent?
From initial consultation to full deployment, it's about 4-6 weeks, depending on your system's complexity. We start with a deep dive into your shop's call patterns—say, frequent queries on rust repair during humid seasons—then build and integrate the agent. Testing ensures it handles real scenarios, like quoting clear coat over the phone, before going live. Unlike template solutions that drag on, our custom approach gets you results fast, with minimal disruption to your daily bay operations.
