The "Workflow Bottleneck" Problem
Manual appointment scheduling for oil changes and alignments leads to overbooked service bays and lost revenue from double-booked alignments
Error-prone manual tracking of OEM and aftermarket parts inventory causes unexpected delays in brake repairs and transmission jobs
Disconnected vehicle service histories and customer data results in repeated follow-ups for recall checks and maintenance reminders
Time-consuming manual reconciliation of repair invoices and parts billing slows down cash flow from diagnostic and labor jobs
Inefficient manual assignment of technicians to jobs wastes bay time on mismatched skills, like assigning a tire specialist to an engine diagnostic
Manual processing of manufacturer warranty claims for airbag replacements eats into profit margins on repeat collision repairs

It's like having a digital service advisor that never sleeps, ensuring compliance with manufacturer service intervals.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, we were buried in manual logs for every oil change, brake job, and wheel alignment—easily 10 hours a week just coordinating our four service bays. Their custom system integrated our scheduling with OEM parts inventory overnight, and we've cut scheduling errors by half. Last quarter, we handled 15% more jobs without adding staff, boosting our billable hours on diagnostics by 20%."
Mike Reynolds
Service Manager, Precision Auto Repair in Dallas, TX
"Juggling parts orders for batteries and radiators was a nightmare during our busy season; we'd lose days waiting on delayed shipments that halted AC repairs. AIQ built us an alert system that predicts needs from our repair logs and VIN data, saving us $4,000 in rush fees alone this year. It's not flashy, but it keeps the bays humming and our collision work on schedule."
Sarah Lopez
Owner, Gateway Garage in Phoenix, AZ
"Our old setup meant double-entering customer VIN and odometer info for every warranty claim on ABS modules, which dragged on payments for weeks. After implementing their automation, processing time dropped from days to hours, and we've seen cash flow improve by 22% on warranty-covered suspension jobs. Finally, tech that fits our shop's pace without disrupting daily alignments and tire services."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation integrate with my existing shop software?
We start by auditing your current setup—whether it's ShopKey, Tekmetric, or even custom spreadsheets—and build deep, two-way API connections. This creates a single source of truth, pulling in repair orders, customer details, and inventory without manual entry. For instance, when a job closes in your POS, our system auto-updates parts stock and sends a client receipt. We've done this for over 50 shops, ensuring zero data silos and uptime above 99.5%. The result? Smoother operations that feel native, not bolted-on.
What kind of time savings can a typical auto repair shop expect?
Based on our deployments, shops reclaim 15-25 hours weekly from tasks like scheduling and inventory checks. Take a mid-sized operation handling 40 jobs a day: manual coordination might eat 10 hours on overbooking fixes alone. Our AI handles it proactively, optimizing bays and alerting on parts needs. One client saw ROI in three months, with throughput up 28% during peak oil change seasons. It's quantifiable— we track metrics pre- and post-launch to prove the gains, focusing on your specific workflow bottlenecks.
Is this automation scalable if my shop expands to multiple locations?
Absolutely. We design with growth in mind, using modular architecture that scales from one bay to a chain. For example, our system centralizes inventory across sites, predicting demand based on regional trends like winter brake surges. A client with two locations integrated everything into a unified dashboard, reducing cross-site errors by 40%. As you add lifts or open new spots, we adapt the AI without starting over—ensuring consistent efficiency and cost controls no matter the size.
How do you ensure the system handles automotive-specific challenges like varying repair times?
We tailor the AI to your shop's realities, training models on your historical data for accurate predictions. Variable jobs like transmissions versus quick alignments? Our dispatching factors in tech expertise and past durations, minimizing downtime. We've incorporated industry benchmarks, like AAA's average repair times, to fine-tune alerts. Security is baked in too, complying with data standards for vehicle info. Shops report 25% faster job turns because it's built for the unpredictability of auto work, not generic tasks.
What happens after deployment—do I own the system completely?
Yes, full ownership transfers to you upon completion, with no ongoing subscriptions to us. We provide source code, documentation, and training so your team can maintain or tweak it. Post-launch, optional support ensures it evolves—say, adding EV battery tracking as your services shift. Unlike rented tools, this is your asset, hosted on your cloud if preferred, cutting dependency risks. Clients appreciate the freedom; one shop even expanded it in-house after a year, saving thousands in vendor fees.
Can this reduce errors in parts ordering and warranty claims?
Definitely. Manual errors in parts can cost shops 10-15% in waste; our AI cross-references repair needs with supplier catalogs in real-time, flagging mismatches before orders go out. For warranties, it automates claim submission by ingesting invoices and vehicle data, speeding approvals from weeks to days. A recent project for a fleet-focused shop cut claim denials by 35%, directly boosting margins. We use OCR for scanned docs and integrate with manufacturer portals, making it reliable for high-stakes automotive compliance.
