What Makes Us Different:
Quantifiable Gains for Your Bottom Line
Save 15-20 Hours Weekly on Sourcing
Save 15-20 Hours Weekly on Sourcing Brake Technicians: Imagine reclaiming the time your front office spends posting ads on Indeed and chasing leads for ASE-certified hires. Our system automates it all, reducing time-to-hire from 45 days to under 14, per NADA benchmarks—freeing bays for urgent alignments and preventing delayed tire rotations that frustrate customers.
Achieve 3x ROI Through Reduced Turnover
Achieve 3x ROI Through Reduced Turnover in Diagnostic Roles: Hiring the wrong mechanic costs $15,000 in training on tools like OBD-II scanners and lost productivity, per Bureau of Labor stats. Our AI ensures 85% better matches for alignment and exhaust specialists, cutting turnover by 30% and boosting shop efficiency—like recalibrating a suspension system for optimal handling.
Boost Productivity with Faster Onboarding
Boost Productivity with Faster Onboarding for Transmission Experts: Automate from resume scan for hydraulic system experience to first shift assignment on rebuild jobs, freeing your team for customer-facing diagnostics. Shops using similar systems report 25% higher billable hours on collision repairs, turning recruiting from a drag to a drive toward expanded service bays.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, we were buried in resumes for our body shop techs—half weren't even I-CAR certified for frame straightening. Now, the system flags the right fits with verified aluminum repair experience in hours, not days. Hired two solid guys last month, and our turnaround on collision fender repairs dropped from 5 days to 2, getting customer vehicles back on the road faster."
Mike Rivera
Service Manager, Precision Collision & Repair, Denver, CO
"Scheduling interviews around our rush hours for wheel alignment techs was a nightmare; candidates kept missing shifts during peak tire change seasons. This custom setup books everything automatically around bay availability, and we've cut hiring costs by 40% since January by avoiding recruiter fees for balance and rotation specialists. It's like having an extra service advisor without the payroll hit."
Sarah Chen
Owner, Bay Area Tire & Alignment Center, San Jose, CA
"We struggled to find EV-trained mechanics amid the battery shortage, turning away hybrid diagnostic jobs. AIQ's tool pulled in candidates with verifiable Level 2 charger installation experience from verified sources, and within three weeks, we onboarded a specialist. Revenue from EV battery services jumped 15% right away, allowing us to handle 20 more fleet maintenance contracts monthly."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation handle the unique skills needed for auto repair roles?
Our system is trained on automotive-specific data, scanning for keywords like 'brake lathe operation' or 'diagnostic scan tool expertise.' It goes beyond basics by cross-referencing resumes with your shop's needs—say, prioritizing EV battery handlers if you're expanding into electric repairs. We've seen shops reduce mismatched hires by 50%, as the AI learns from your past successful placements. Integration with certification databases ensures only qualified techs advance, saving you from costly training retreads. Setup takes just two weeks, with full customization to your bays' demands.
What kind of time savings can a small shop expect?
For a typical 10-bay operation, expect to shave 15-20 hours weekly off manual tasks. Posting jobs, reviewing 50+ resumes, and coordinating calls? All automated. One client, a family-run shop, went from 40 days to 12 for hiring a painter, freeing staff for more alignments and oil changes. ROI kicks in fast—industry data shows $10,000 saved per avoided bad hire. We benchmark against NAPA stats, ensuring your gains align with auto sector realities, not fluffy estimates.
Is this system secure for handling applicant data in our shop?
Absolutely. We use enterprise-grade encryption and comply with GDPR and CCPA, plus automotive-specific regs like those for handling driver records. Data stays in your controlled environment—no cloud leaks. Features include role-based access so only managers see sensitive info, like past accident claims. We've audited integrations with tools like QuickBooks to prevent breaches, and our track record shows zero incidents across 200+ deployments. It's built robust, like a reinforced chassis, to protect your hiring pipeline.
How do we integrate this with our existing shop management software?
We map it directly to platforms like ProShop or Tekmetric via secure APIs, pulling in shift schedules to avoid conflicts. No disruptive overhauls— we start with a quick audit of your setup. For instance, applicant data flows into your employee database automatically upon hire, updating payroll seamlessly. Clients report 90% less manual entry, with setup in under a month. If you're on legacy systems, our custom bridges ensure compatibility, turning fragmented tools into a unified hiring machine.
What if we need to scale for multiple locations?
Our architecture is designed for growth, supporting chains from single shops to 20-site networks. The central dashboard lets you manage sourcing for all, customizing per location—like diesel focus in one bay, general repairs in another. It scales without performance dips, handling 500+ applicants monthly. A regional chain we worked with expanded hiring 3x during a merger, cutting central admin by 35%. We include modular upgrades, so as you add bays, the system evolves, maintaining that efficiency edge.
Can this help with retaining talent after hiring?
Yes, beyond sourcing, it includes post-hire tracking like performance benchmarks against shop KPIs, flagging training needs early. For example, it monitors probation for new exhaust techs, integrating feedback loops to boost retention by 25%, per our client data. This isn't just hiring—it's building a stable crew. We tie it to your onboarding docs, predicting churn risks based on patterns like mismatched tool familiarity, helping you nurture talent before they bolt to competitors.
