Achieve Industry-Leading Efficiency in Your Dealership

Boost Lead Conversion by 35%

Boost Lead Conversion by 35%: Our AI qualifies prospects instantly, answering questions on trim levels, MSRP, and current incentives like 0% APR financing with pinpoint accuracy. Dealerships using our system report closing 35% more leads within the first 90 days, as the AI nurtures inquiries around the clock—like a turbocharged engine that never stalls, keeping momentum high even during peak seasons such as end-of-year inventory clears.

Cut Support Costs by 60%

Cut Support Costs by 60%: Automate routine tasks like appointment confirmations for lube-oil-filter services and parts availability checks for OEM components, freeing advisors for complex issues like collision repairs. This results in 60% lower labor costs, with one client slashing overtime by half during busy month-end rushes for new model releases. Think of it as precision tuning your support team: leaner, faster, and more reliable under load.

Enhance Customer Satisfaction Scores to 95%

Enhance Customer Satisfaction Scores to 95%: Personalized responses based on purchase history and preferences, such as recommending service packages for specific VIN-linked models, build trust quickly. Customers feel heard, with response times dropping to under 30 seconds. As one GM manager noted, it's like having an extra salesperson who knows every VIN on the lot, turning inquiries into repeat business for annual maintenance visits.

What Clients Say

"Before AIQ Labs, our team was buried under emails about Takata airbag recalls—taking hours to pull records from the Reynolds & Reynolds DMS. Now, the AI handles 70% of those queries instantly, and we've cut our response backlog from days to minutes. Sales are up 22% because customers aren't waiting around for service bay updates."

Mike Reynolds

General Manager, Thompson Ford Lincoln Dealership in Charlotte, NC

"We were losing weekend leads to voicemail hell on questions about Subaru Outback trade-ins. The custom AI they built integrates with our CDK inventory feed, so it can quote exact trade-in values based on Kelley Blue Book data on the spot. In the first three months, we captured 150 extra financing inquiries that would have gone cold—real game-changer for our certified pre-owned lot."

Sarah Patel

Customer Experience Director, Apex Auto Group in Atlanta, GA

"Compliance was a nightmare with scattered customer notes across ARI service software and our CRM. Their system centralizes everything, auto-flagging extended warranty issues for GM vehicles. Last quarter, we avoided a potential NADA audit headache and improved our CSI score from 82 to 91. It's not hype—it's working for us daily on collision claims."

Tom Hargrove

Operations Manager, Riverside Chevrolet Buick GMC in Denver, CO

Common Questions

How does the AI integrate with our existing Dealer Management System?

What kinds of inquiries can the AI handle for our dealership?

Our custom AI is trained specifically for automotive scenarios, managing everything from basic questions like 'What's the MPG on a 2023 F-150?' to complex ones such as trade-in appraisals, warranty claims, and service scheduling. It handles multi-step conversations, like guiding a buyer through loan pre-approval while checking eligibility against your rates. Routine tasks—appointment reminders, parts availability, or recall checks—are automated at 85% accuracy. For edge cases, like emotional complaints about repair delays, it detects tone and escalates to a human advisor with full context. This covers 80% of your daily support volume, tailored to your inventory and protocols.

Is the AI compliant with automotive data privacy regulations?

Absolutely. We build with compliance at the core, adhering to standards like GDPR, CCPA, and TCPA, plus automotive-specific rules for handling VIN and customer financial data. All interactions are encrypted, with audit logs for every query. The system anonymizes sensitive info during training and includes opt-out mechanisms for communications. In one project for a mid-sized chain, we integrated safeguards that passed a full external audit, reducing compliance risks by 90%. Your data stays in your control—no third-party sharing unless you specify.

How long does it take to see results from this custom AI system?

Most dealerships notice immediate wins in response speed, with full ROI in 3-6 months. Day one: The AI goes live, handling inquiries 24/7 and cutting wait times by 70%. Within the first month, you'll see reduced staff workload and higher customer satisfaction scores. By quarter two, metrics like lead conversion improve by 25-40%, as seen in our benchmarks from similar implementations. We monitor and tweak continuously— for instance, one client hit 35% faster deal closures after optimizing for their peak sales periods. It's not instant magic, but a steady acceleration toward efficiency.

Can we customize the AI's tone to match our dealership's brand?

Yes, customization is our hallmark. We train the AI on your brand voice—professional yet approachable for a family dealership, or high-energy for a performance-focused one. This includes scripting responses with your terminology, like emphasizing 'certified pre-owned' perks or local service guarantees. During development, we incorporate feedback loops so it evolves. A luxury brand client, for example, refined ours to use polished language that aligned with their upscale image, resulting in 15% higher engagement. It's built for you, ensuring every interaction feels authentically yours.

What if the AI can't resolve a customer's issue?

We've designed seamless escalation paths. When the AI detects complexity—like a disputed repair bill or custom order details—it hands off to your team with a complete transcript, key facts, and suggested next steps. This happens in under 10% of cases, preserving the conversation flow. Human agents pick up right where the AI left off, often resolving faster due to prepped context. In practice, this has boosted our clients' first-contact resolution rates to 92%, as the AI filters out noise and arms your staff with insights.
