What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Quantifiable Gains Tailored to Your Detailing Operation
Reclaim 15+ Hours Weekly on Core Detailing Work
Reclaim 15+ Hours Weekly on Core Detailing Work: Manual invoicing for services like full exterior polishes steals time from perfecting that showroom shine on client vehicles. Our automation processes billing for 50+ jobs per week, including ceramic applications and wheel detailing, freeing your team to handle more vehicles. Shops report a 25% productivity boost, enabling 10-15 additional bookings monthly without hiring extra staff.
Achieve 4x Faster ROI Through Error-Free Cash Flow
Achieve 4x Faster ROI Through Error-Free Cash Flow: Detailing pros lose 10-15% of revenue to billing mistakes on complex services like full PPF installations and multi-layer ceramic coatings. We eliminate that with AI validation, ensuring every buffing pad, polishing compound, and applicator cost is captured accurately. Expect payback in under 3 months for a mid-sized shop, with ongoing savings of $5K+ annually on admin overhead from reduced dispute resolutions.
Boost Client Satisfaction with Instant, Professional Invoices
Boost Client Satisfaction with Instant, Professional Invoices: Fleet and luxury clients expect speed post-detail – not excuses about paperwork delays on paint protection services. Our system delivers branded invoices in seconds, complete with before-and-after photos of swirl removal and service breakdowns for interior extractions. This has led to 30% higher repeat business for our partners, as trust builds on reliable, hassle-free billing that includes upsell tracking for headlight restorations.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our two-person shop was drowning in invoices after fleet contracts – we'd spend Fridays just reconciling engine steam cleanings, wheel polishes, and interior shampoo jobs. Now, it's all automated; we saved 12 hours a week last month alone, dropped our error rate to zero, and accelerated cash flow to invest in a new high-speed polisher."
Mike Rivera
Owner, Riverside Auto Detail & Fleet Services
"I was skeptical about custom AI for a small detailing operation, but after implementation, invoicing for our multi-layer ceramic coating packages and PPF applications went from a daily headache to a non-issue. We caught $2,000 in missed upsells from last quarter's headlight restoration and trim detailing jobs – that's real money back in our pocket without extra effort, boosting our quarterly revenue by 8%."
Sarah Chen
Operations Manager, Elite Shine Auto Detailing
"Handling invoices for high-end exotics was error-prone with our old spreadsheets; one wrong line item on a multi-stage paint correction or clay bar decontamination could sour a client relationship. AIQ's system integrates perfectly with our scheduler for buffing and polishing slots, and we've seen payments arrive 5 days quicker on average for our exotic vehicle services. It's transformed our workflow, reducing admin time by 40%."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation handle variable pricing for custom detailing services?
Our custom AI is trained on your specific pricing models, from basic washes at $50 to premium ceramic coatings at $1,200+. It pulls real-time data from your job logs, applies dynamic upsells like fabric protection add-ons, and generates accurate invoices without manual overrides. For instance, if a client opts for extra wheel detailing mid-job, the system adjusts on the fly. We've fine-tuned this for 20+ detailing shops, reducing pricing errors by 95% and ensuring every quote-to-invoice step aligns with your margins. Setup involves a one-time workflow audit, and it's all owned by you – no recurring fees for updates.
Will this integrate with my existing shop management software?
Absolutely. We specialize in deep, two-way integrations with tools like Shop-Ware, Mitchell1, or even custom Excel setups common in detailing ops. The AI pulls job completion data directly, auto-populates invoice fields for services such as engine bay steaming, and pushes back payment confirmations. No more duplicate entries that waste time after long shifts. In a recent project for a 15-bay facility, we synced with their CRM in under two weeks, cutting data transfer errors by 80%. It's built to your exact workflow, ensuring smooth adoption without downtime.
What kind of time savings can a small detailing shop expect?
For a typical 5-10 vehicle per day operation, expect 15-25 hours saved weekly on billing alone. Manual processes – typing up line items for headlight restores or vinyl wraps – eat into prime detailing time. Our system automates capture, validation, and dispatch, letting your team focus on client vehicles. One partner shop went from 45-minute post-job invoicing to 90 seconds, reclaiming enough time to add two extra appointments daily. ROI hits in 2-4 months, with benchmarks showing 30% overall efficiency gains in administrative tasks.
Is the system secure for handling client payment details?
Security is non-negotiable in automotive services where trust is key. We use enterprise-grade encryption (AES-256) for all data, compliant with PCI DSS for payments and GDPR for client info. Invoices for sensitive jobs like luxury car interiors are stored in fortified cloud vaults with role-based access – only authorized staff see billing for a client's Lambo detail. We've audited systems for 50+ SMBs, with zero breaches. Plus, it's fully owned by you, so no third-party risks from shared platforms. Regular updates keep it ahead of threats.
How customizable is this for seasonal detailing demands?
Fully customizable to your peaks, like summer boat preps or winter salt removal packages. The AI learns from your historical data, auto-adjusting templates for seasonal upsells such as UV protectants. If October brings more fleet contracts, it scales workflows accordingly without reconfiguration. A client in the Midwest saw 40% faster invoicing during snow season after we tailored it to their volume spikes. We start with a deep dive into your calendar, building flexibility that grows with your business – no rigid templates here.
What support do you provide after launch?
Ongoing partnership, not a one-and-done. Post-launch, we offer 30 days of hands-on optimization, monitoring for tweaks like faster processing on high-polish jobs. Then, it's tiered support: unlimited email/chat for the first year, plus quarterly reviews to refine based on new services like graphene coatings. Our team – all automotive-savvy engineers – has resolved 98% of issues within 24 hours for clients. It's like having an in-house IT crew without the salary, ensuring your system runs as smoothly as a freshly detailed coupe.
