The "Tire Billing Bottleneck" Problem
Endless manual entry for four-wheel alignments and tire rotations, diverting skilled technicians from high-value bay work like brake inspections
Error-prone invoicing following high-volume flat tire roadside repairs, resulting in underbilling for patch-and-plug jobs and lost revenue on labor hours
Delayed customer payments due to mismatched dynamic wheel balance invoices, tying up cash flow needed for restocking run-flat tires and alloy rims
Overwhelmed service advisors manually tracking tire warranty claims for road hazards alongside upselling nitrogen inflations and TPMS recalibrations
Seasonal spike chaos in invoicing during winter all-season to snow tire changes, causing multi-day backlogs and overtime costs for mounting and balancing
Inconsistent billing for commercial fleet tire maintenance contracts, including retreads and rotations, frustrating repeat corporate clients with DOT compliance needs

Picture your invoicing as a well-tuned engine: smooth, efficient, and built to handle peak loads without missing a beat. We handle the heavy lifting, ensuring every line item—from tire sizes to disposal fees—flows seamlessly, slashing manual work while boosting accuracy.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Efficiency Gains: Quantifiable Wins for Your Bottom Line
Slash Weekly Admin Time by 20 Hours
Slash Weekly Admin Time by 20 Hours: Manual invoicing after tire installations and alignments devours time—our system automates line-item capture for labor, parts, and disposal fees, freeing your front office to focus on customer upsells like extended tread warranties. Shops report reclaiming 20 hours weekly, directly translating to higher throughput in the service bays—handling 15% more vehicles—and a productivity boost of 40% during peak oil change seasons.

What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, our team spent Fridays reconciling invoices for tire patch repairs and alignments—now it's automated in under 10 minutes, and we've cut billing mistakes on four-wheel alignments by half. Saved us about 15 hours a week during the fall rush for new tire sets."
Mike Rivera
Service Manager, Metro Tires & Auto Repair, Chicago
"We integrated AIQ with our Mitchell1 shop software last quarter; invoicing for fleet tire rotations and winter swaps is now fully automatic, with payments arriving 10 days faster on average. No more manually pulling warranty details for Bridgestone radials—it's a huge relief for our three-person admin team during peak season."
Sarah Chen
Owner, QuickFix Tire Pros, Seattle
"We handle 50+ tire rotations and balance jobs daily, and the old manual system was a nightmare for add-on billing like alignments and nitrogen fills. AIQ customized it to our workflow seamlessly—errors down 90% on multi-bay invoices, and our cash flow improved enough to stock more premium Goodyear tires without dipping into credit lines, all within the first two months."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation handle variable tire pricing from different suppliers?
Our custom AI system integrates directly with your supplier APIs or inventory database to pull real-time pricing for each tire type, size, and brand. For instance, if you're dealing with Michelin versus Goodyear fluctuations, it auto-calculates markups and applies them to invoices without manual input. We've built this for shops facing daily variances, ensuring accuracy even during bulk orders. Setup involves mapping your pricing rules once, then the system learns and adapts—shops see 98% precision, cutting reconciliation time from hours to minutes. This tailored approach avoids generic tools that overlook automotive specifics like rebate tiers.
What if my tire shop uses legacy software—can it integrate?
Absolutely. We specialize in bridging old and new systems, creating secure API connections to legacy shop management tools like older versions of Protractor or even custom Excel setups. For a recent client with a 20-year-old POS, we built a middleware layer that extracts tire service data in real-time, automates invoice population, and pushes updates back without disrupting operations. The process starts with a quick audit to identify data points, followed by custom code that handles quirks like non-standard tire coding. Result? Seamless flow, with no data loss, and full ownership of the integration—no ongoing fees for brittle plugins.
How quickly can we see ROI from this invoice automation?
Most tire shops realize positive ROI within 2-4 months, driven by immediate time savings and error reductions. For example, automating invoicing for 30 daily tire services eliminates 15-20 hours of weekly manual work, valued at $500+ in labor costs alone. Add faster payments—typically accelerating collections by 7-10 days—and you're looking at 200-300% returns in the first quarter, per our benchmarks from similar automotive deployments. We track this from day one with built-in metrics, adjusting as needed to hit your targets, like optimizing for seasonal tire change rushes where delays cost thousands.
Is the system secure for handling sensitive tire customer data?
Security is non-negotiable in automotive billing, where you're dealing with payment info and warranty records. Our solutions use enterprise-grade encryption (AES-256) and comply with PCI DSS for card transactions, plus GDPR-like standards for customer tire histories. We implement role-based access so only bay managers see full invoices, and AI audits flag anomalies like unusual tire quantities. In one deployment for a chain handling fleet data, we added multi-factor authentication and audit logs that withstood a compliance review. You own the system, so data stays in-house—no third-party clouds unless you choose, ensuring total control over sensitive details like vehicle VINs tied to services.
Can this scale if my tire shop expands to multiple locations?
Yes, our architecture is designed for scalability, supporting multi-site tire shops from the outset. We build centralized dashboards that aggregate invoicing across locations, with location-specific customizations like regional tire tax rates or supplier preferences. For a client growing from one to three shops, we enabled unified reporting on tire sales trends while keeping local workflows intact—handling 200+ invoices daily without performance dips. Expansion is modular: add sites via simple config updates, and the AI adapts to increased volume, maintaining 99.9% uptime. This future-proofs your investment, avoiding the rework forced by rigid tools.
What training is involved for my team on this custom system?
We provide tailored, hands-on training that fits your tire shop's schedule—typically 4-6 hours over two sessions, focusing on practical use like generating invoices post-tire install. Your front desk and managers get walkthroughs via your actual data, covering everything from AI-assisted error checks to mobile approvals during busy shifts. We include video guides and a custom knowledge base for quick reference on tire-specific features, like auto-applying promotions. Post-launch, our support team offers weekly check-ins for the first month to iron out kinks, ensuring 90% adoption rates. It's not overwhelming; think of it as tuning your team to run the new engine smoothly.
