What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Efficiency That Drives Your Shop Forward
Streamlined Repair Scheduling
Streamlined Repair Scheduling: AI assigns bays and technicians based on skill sets and vehicle types—such as diesel specialists for truck alignments—reducing turnaround time by 40%. In a typical 8-bay shop servicing 200 vehicles weekly, this means handling 15% more jobs like tire rotations without adding staff—proven in our deployments at mid-sized chains facing peak-hour rushes for fleet maintenance.
Predictive Parts Management
Predictive Parts Management: Forecast demand for common parts like ceramic brake pads or cabin air filters using historical repair data from OBD-II scans, cutting overstock costs by 25% and eliminating delays. Shops report saving $12,000 annually on inventory for high-turnover items, turning potential bottlenecks into smooth operations like a well-oiled piston in a V6 engine.
Enhanced Customer Loyalty Tracking
Enhanced Customer Loyalty Tracking: Automated reminders for oil changes or tire inspections based on VIN data and mileage logs increase repeat business by 30%. This custom system tracks service history across visits, including fluid flushes, fostering trust—like a reliable mechanic who remembers your SUV's towing history—without sifting through scattered Jobber entries.
What Clients Say
"We were buried in Jobber's clunky interface during our busiest months with back-to-back alignments and exhaust repairs—scheduling conflicts ate up two hours a day on fleet days. AIQ Labs built us a custom scheduler that syncs with our four-post lifts and tech availability for sedans versus pickups; now we finish jobs 20% faster, and our techs aren't twiddling thumbs between brake jobs and wheel balances."
Mike Reynolds
Service Manager, Reynolds Auto Repair, a 12-bay independent shop in Denver specializing in light trucks
"Parts ordering was a nightmare with Jobber's basic alerts; we'd run out of ATF fluid or serpentine belts mid-Saturday rush for transmission overhauls. Their AI system predicts needs based on our local fleet patterns, like high demand for hybrid battery components, saving us from $5K in emergency buys last quarter. It's like having an extra parts guy who never sleeps during peak EV service surges."
Sarah Patel
Owner, Patel's Transmission Specialists, a family-owned chain in Atlanta focusing on automatic transmissions and hybrids
"Switching from Jobber felt risky, but AIQ's custom setup integrated our customer database overnight, pulling VINs for accurate recall checks. Follow-ups for warranty work on items like radiator replacements are automatic now, and we've cut no-shows by half since launch three months ago during our winter tune-up season. No more chasing paper trails after long shifts diagnosing ABS faults."
Tom Garcia
General Manager, Garcia Garage Network, a multi-location franchise in Chicago handling domestic sedans and imports

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your custom system differ from Jobber's features for auto shops?
Jobber offers solid basics like scheduling and invoicing, but it's a rigid, subscription-based tool designed for broad service industries, not the nuances of auto repair—like tracking VIN-specific warranties or predicting parts for transmission jobs. Our AIQ Labs solution is built from the ground up for your shop: we engineer AI that learns from your repair patterns, integrates deeply with tools like ALLDATA for diagnostics, and gives you full ownership without monthly fees. Shops using our system report 35% faster job completion because it adapts to chaotic days, like back-to-back alignments, rather than forcing your workflow into Jobber's templates. Deployment takes 4-6 weeks, and we handle everything from audit to training.
What if my shop already uses Jobber—can you migrate us smoothly?
Absolutely. We've migrated dozens of auto shops from Jobber without downtime. Our process starts with exporting your data—schedules, customer records, invoices—then mapping it into our custom AI framework. Unlike Jobber's export limitations, we use secure APIs to pull everything intact, including historical repair notes. For a mid-sized shop with 200 active customers, this took just two weeks, with zero data loss. Post-migration, your team gets a unified dashboard that feels familiar but smarter, with AI enhancements like auto-flagging overdue services. No vendor lock-in means you own it all, and we provide 30 days of support to tweak for your bay layout or tech preferences.
How much does a custom AI system cost compared to Jobber subscriptions?
Jobber runs $100-500 monthly per user, adding up to $6,000+ yearly for a small shop, plus integration fees. Our custom builds start at $25,000 for a core system—scheduling, inventory, and invoicing—fully owned after one payment. For automotive specifics like parts forecasting, add $10,000, but ROI hits in 4-6 months via 25% efficiency gains. Take a 10-bay shop: they saved $8,000 in the first year on subscriptions and errors. We offer phased pricing, starting with high-impact modules, and no hidden costs—everything's on your servers. It's an investment in a scalable asset, not endless renting, tailored to handle your volume without scaling fees.
Is the system secure for handling sensitive customer and vehicle data?
Security is non-negotiable in automotive, where VINs and repair histories contain personal info. We build with enterprise-grade encryption, compliant with GDPR and auto industry standards like those for emissions data. Unlike Jobber's cloud-only model, our system deploys on your infrastructure, giving you control over access logs and backups. Features include role-based permissions—so techs see only job details, not full customer files—and AI-monitored anomaly detection to flag unusual access. In one deployment for a chain with 50,000 records, we passed a third-party audit with zero vulnerabilities. Regular updates are yours to manage, ensuring it evolves with threats without subscription dependencies.
How scalable is this for growing from a single shop to multiple locations?
Designed for growth, our AI system scales effortlessly as your business expands. For a single-location shop, it optimizes 5-10 bays; add locations, and we extend the architecture with centralized dashboards for cross-shop inventory and scheduling. A client grew from one to three sites, integrating fleet data across them—we handled the expansion in under a month, boosting overall efficiency by 28%. The modular design means adding features like multi-site reporting or shared parts warehouses without rebuilding. Since you own it, scaling costs are just our engineering time, not per-location fees like Jobber. It's built to handle 1,000+ monthly jobs, adapting to your trajectory like a high-performance engine upgrade.
What kind of support do you provide after the system is built?
We believe in lasting partnerships, not one-and-done builds. Post-deployment, you get 90 days of included optimization—fine-tuning AI for your evolving workflows, like seasonal tire services. Beyond that, optional maintenance packages start at $500 quarterly for updates and troubleshooting, but many shops self-manage since they own the code. Our automotive experts are available via priority support for issues like integrating new diagnostic tools. One shop, after six months, called us for a quick warranty module tweak; resolved in hours. This hands-off approach empowers your team, unlike Jobber's ticket-based help that's tied to your subscription.
