Why Choose Us
At AIQ Labs, we don't patch together off-the-shelf tools. We architect custom AI-powered software tailored to the relentless pace of auto repair shops. Imagine a unified system that anticipates part needs before a vehicle even hits the bay, routes jobs intelligently across your growing team, and scales without a hitch as you expand from three bays to thirty. Our builders craft production-ready applications using advanced frameworks, replacing subscription sprawl with a single, owned asset. This enterprise architecture handles peak seasons, new service lines like EV diagnostics, and surging customer volumes—no bottlenecks, just unlimited growth potential.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Scalable Growth Without Operational Overhaul
Accelerate Job Turnarounds
Accelerate Job Turnarounds: Our AI optimizes workflows for repairs like engine diagnostics and suspension alignments, shaving 4-6 hours off each job and boosting daily output by up to 35%. Shops using our systems report handling 20% more vehicles, such as sedans and SUVs, without adding staff, turning potential growth ceilings into revenue highways for multi-bay expansions.
Master Inventory at Scale
Master Inventory at Scale: Predict demand for high-turnover parts like brake pads, air filters, and timing belts with 92% accuracy, reducing stockouts by 60% during peak seasons. As your shop expands to handle more fleet maintenance or EV conversions, this eliminates costly rush deliveries from suppliers like AutoZone, freeing capital for additional service bays and new locations.
Empower Technicians for Peak Efficiency
Empower Technicians for Peak Efficiency: Real-time OBD-II diagnostics and automated approvals for parts like radiators cut idle time by 40%, letting your team focus on complex repairs like transmission rebuilds or hybrid battery services. Scale to multiple shifts or sites without the chaos of disjointed tools—enterprise-grade reliability from day one, supporting growth from single-shop to regional networks.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, we were scrambling with paper logs for sourcing alternator replacements, losing two jobs a week to 48-hour delays from suppliers. Their custom system now predicts needs based on our VIN scans and common failure patterns, cutting turnaround from three days to under 24 hours for most sedans. Revenue's up 28% in six months, no extra hires needed even as we added a third bay."
Mike Reynolds
Service Manager, Reynolds Auto Repair in Denver, CO
"Scaling to EV services was a nightmare with our old software—it couldn't handle the data volume for battery health diagnostics. AIQ built us an integrated platform that forecasts components like charging cables and routes jobs for models like Tesla Model 3 flawlessly. We've added two bays and seen a 45% jump in high-margin EV work without missing a beat, all within the last year."
Sarah Lopez
Owner, Lopez Family Garage in Austin, TX
"Our techs were bogged down approving every invoice manually for winter tire installations, eating into repair time during peak season. The AI automation from AIQ processes them in seconds via mobile integration, and we've reduced errors by 70% in service logs. It's like having an extra mechanic on the floor, especially for our busy all-wheel-drive alignments in snowy months."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your software handle the unique demands of EV repairs?
Our custom AI systems are designed with EV specifics in mind, integrating data from sources like Tesla APIs and battery management protocols. We build models that forecast high-voltage component needs and automate safety checklists, ensuring compliance with evolving standards. For a mid-sized shop like yours, this means scaling EV services without new hires—our clients see 25% faster diagnostics by pulling historical charge cycle data directly into workflows. Unlike generic tools, we tailor to your mix of ICE and electric vehicles, preventing the common pitfall of mismatched inventory that stalls growth.
Can this scale if I add more repair bays or locations?
Absolutely. Our enterprise architecture is built to expand effortlessly—from a single bay to a network of shops. We use modular frameworks that handle increased data loads, like syncing repair logs across sites in real-time. A client expanded from two to five locations and reported zero downtime, with centralized inventory cutting costs by 35%. We stress-test for automotive peaks, such as post-winter surges, ensuring no bottlenecks as your operations grow. This isn't patchwork; it's a robust foundation that owns your scalability.
What about integrating with my existing shop management software?
Seamless integration is our core strength. We connect deeply with platforms like ALLDATA or Reynolds ERA via secure APIs, creating a single source of truth without data silos. For instance, we automate pulling VIN details into your custom AI for instant repair recommendations, reducing manual entry by 80%. Our two-way sync ensures updates—like completed oil changes—flow back instantly, avoiding the errors that plague superficial connections. We've done this for dozens of shops, delivering unified dashboards that scale with your efficiency needs.
How secure is the system for handling customer vehicle data?
Security is non-negotiable in automotive, where VINs and personal info are prime targets. We implement enterprise-grade encryption, role-based access, and automated audit logs compliant with standards like GDPR and state privacy laws. Our systems include AI-driven threat detection to flag unusual access, such as attempts to view service histories. A repair chain we worked with avoided a potential breach, maintaining 100% uptime during audits. Unlike rented tools with shared vulnerabilities, your owned solution gives full control, scaling securely as you handle more sensitive EV calibration data.
What's the timeline for building and deploying this custom software?
We deliver a MVP in 6-8 weeks, tailored to your shop's pain points like inventory tracking. Full deployment, including training and optimizations, wraps in 12 weeks—faster than most custom projects without sacrificing quality. For a three-bay operation, we started with core automations and iterated based on live data, achieving 40% efficiency gains by month three. Our process minimizes disruption, with phased rollouts during off-peak hours, ensuring you scale operations without halting jobs. It's built for results, not endless development cycles.
Do I own the software, or is it a subscription model?
Full ownership from the start—no subscriptions or hidden fees. We hand over the complete, source-code system as your digital asset, free from vendor dependencies that limit scalability. This means you control updates and expansions, like adding fleet management modules, without ongoing costs. Shops we've partnered with have saved $20K annually ditching tool sprawl, redirecting funds to growth. Our model empowers you with an enterprise-ready backbone that evolves with automotive innovations, ensuring long-term value.
