Unlock Efficiency Gains Tailored to Your Shop
Eliminate Inventory Shortfalls

Shops see a 25% reduction in emergency orders for all-terrain tires, freeing up cash for expansions. No more turning away customers mid-rush because you're out of radials during peak alignment season.
Boost Appointment Fill Rates
Boost Appointment Fill Rates: Automated reminders and smart scheduling sync with your calendar, cutting no-shows by 40% for brake inspections and tire rotations. Integrated with weather APIs, it suggests optimal times for tire swaps during rainy seasons or suggests rescheduling alignments before icy roads. Your team focuses on services, not chasing confirmations.
Secure Data Ownership Without Lock-In
Secure Data Ownership Without Lock-In: Unlike Make.com's subscriptions, you own every line of code for your custom diagnostic and parts ordering workflows. Scale from 5 bays to 20 without vendor fees spiking 30% as you add EV charging integrations. Our systems integrate seamlessly with evolving automotive tech like OBD-II scanners, ensuring long-term flexibility for EV tire services and hybrid battery checks.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we were glued to spreadsheets for tracking all-season and winter tire counts, losing 2-3 hours every shift during busy seasons. Their custom system now auto-syncs with our suppliers for radial and snow tires—last winter, we avoided a 20% stockout rate on 18-inch rims and saved $4,500 on rush deliveries from Goodyear. It's like having an extra mechanic on inventory duty for our fleet services."
Mike Rivera
Owner, Riverside Tire Pros – Independent Auto Repair Shop in Denver, CO
"Make.com integrations kept breaking during peak hours for our brake rotor replacements, delaying jobs by up to 4 hours. AIQ built us a robust workflow that handles 200+ appointments weekly for alignments and diagnostics without a hitch. In three months, our customer satisfaction jumped from 7.2 to 9.1 on post-service surveys, and we're finally owning our tech stack for seamless OBD integrations."
Sarah Chen
Operations Manager, Apex Auto Services – Multi-Bay Garage Specializing in Asian Imports in Seattle, WA
"We struggled with manual invoicing for four-wheel alignments and suspension diagnostics, tying up our bookkeeper for days at month-end. The AI automation they created processes everything in real-time via QuickBooks sync, cutting our close time from 10 days to 2 for 150+ jobs. Revenue tracking is spot-on now for our tire and alignment upsells, and no more subscription bleed—total game-changer for our small shop handling local truck fleets."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this custom system differ from Make.com for my tire shop?
Make.com relies on pre-built connectors that often fail under heavy use, like during end-of-winter tire rushes. Our solution is custom-coded for your exact workflow—integrating tire-specific tools like inventory scanners directly. You own it outright, avoiding $50-200 monthly fees that add up. We've seen shops reduce automation errors by 60%, creating a reliable system that scales with your bays. It's built to handle automotive volatility, from sudden snow tire demands to routine alignments, without the brittleness of no-code limits.
What kind of integrations can you build for tire inventory management?
We specialize in deep ties to systems like TireMaster or AutoFluent, automating stock alerts when radials dip below 20 units. AI analyzes past sales and regional patterns for precise forecasts, preventing overstock that ties up $10,000 in capital. Unlike Zapier's superficial links, our two-way APIs update suppliers in real-time, ensuring deliveries match your schedule. For a mid-sized shop, this cuts manual checks from 10 hours to minutes weekly, with built-in error-proofing to avoid costly mismatches.
How long does it take to implement this for a small tire shop?
Typically 4-6 weeks from discovery to launch, depending on complexity. We start with a quick audit of your current setup—say, syncing appointments with inventory. Week one: design the blueprint. Weeks two to four: build and test, focusing on high-impact areas like brake pad auto-orders. Final week: training and go-live. Post-deployment, we optimize for a month at no extra cost. Shops report immediate wins, like 25% faster service throughput, without disrupting daily operations.
Will I own the system, or is there ongoing subscription cost?
Full ownership from day one—no monthly fees like Make.com's $99+ tiers. You get the source code, hosted on your choice of secure cloud, with one-time development costs scaled to your shop size (starting at $15,000 for basics). This eliminates vendor lock-in; update for new tire tech yourself or with our support. Industry data shows this saves 40% over three years compared to subscriptions, turning your automation into a appreciating asset rather than rented expense.
Can this handle seasonal spikes in tire services?
Absolutely—our AI is designed for automotive peaks, like spring tire changes. It scales automatically, processing 500+ daily transactions without lag, unlike off-the-shelf tools that throttle at volume. We incorporate predictive modeling for surges, auto-adjusting staff schedules and stock based on historical data. A client shop handled a 150% winter rush with zero downtime, improving on-time completions by 35%. It's flexible, adapting to your unique patterns, such as local fleet contracts.
What support do you provide after launch?
Ongoing partnership, not just a handoff. First 90 days: unlimited tweaks to refine automations, like fine-tuning alignment reminders. Then, optional maintenance at $500/month, covering updates for new integrations (e.g., EV tire specs). Our team, with automotive backgrounds, responds within hours via dedicated Slack. We've maintained 98% uptime for clients, ensuring your system runs smoother than a fresh set of Michelins, even as your shop evolves.
