The "Tire Chaos" Problem
Manual tire stock tracking leads to frequent overstocking of slow-moving sizes like 225/65R17 or shortages of high-demand all-season radials during peak summer travel seasons
Scheduling conflicts from handwritten logs delay customer wheel alignments and tire rotations, especially during busy mornings when bays are at 90% capacity
Error-prone billing for tire services, such as miscalculating mount/balance fees or road hazard warranties, eats into slim margins on high-volume installs averaging 50 units per day
Disconnected tools for supplier orders cause delays in restocking popular sizes like Michelin Defender LTX from vendors like Bridgestone, leading to 2-3 day stockouts
Paper-based customer follow-ups miss opportunities for repeat tire sales, such as seasonal tread depth checks for winter tires
Inconsistent maintenance logging risks warranty claims on tire installations, particularly for TPMS sensor integrations or improper torque specs on lug nuts

What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we were buried in spreadsheets for tire stock—lost a whole Saturday last summer to a shortage of 215/70R16 all-terrains during the July rush. Now, the system auto-orders based on sales patterns from our POS data, and we've cut stock errors by half. Saved us about 18 hours a week, easy, letting us focus on installs instead."
Mike Rivera
Owner, Riverside Tire Pros in Fresno, CA
"Integrating our old scheduling app with inventory was a nightmare; double-bookings for tire rotations cost us three customers in one week. Their custom setup synced bay availability with stock levels overnight. In three months, our four-bay utilization jumped 40%, and revenue from alignments is up 25% without adding staff."
Sarah Chen
Sarah Chen, Manager, Apex Auto Tires
"We handle 200 tires a week, but billing mix-ups on mount/balance fees and prorated warranties were killing us—$2,000 in refunds last quarter alone. The AI automation catches discrepancies in real-time during checkout. It's like having an extra mechanic for paperwork; our close rate on upsells improved by 15% in the first two months."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does end-to-end automation handle peak season tire rushes?
Our custom AI anticipates demand spikes by analyzing past sales data, weather patterns, and local events—common triggers for tire shops. For instance, it auto-ramps up reorder quantities for all-season radials in fall. This prevents stockouts that can cost 20% in lost sales, per Tire Business reports. We integrate directly with your POS and supplier APIs for instant fulfillment, ensuring bays stay full without manual oversight. Shops using our system report 30% fewer emergency orders, freeing staff for installations over paperwork.
What makes your solution different from off-the-shelf tire management software?
Unlike generic apps like Shop-Ware that force-fit your workflows, we build bespoke systems tailored to your shop's nuances—such as handling mixed retail and fleet tire services. No subscription traps; you own the code. Our automations use advanced AI for predictive insights, like flagging slow-moving inventory early, reducing carrying costs by 15-25%. We've seen tire shops cut integration time from months to weeks, with zero downtime during deployment. It's enterprise-grade reliability without the big-box price tag.
How quickly can we see ROI from tire shop automation?
Most clients achieve positive ROI within 3-6 months. For a mid-sized shop processing 150 tires weekly, automation eliminates 15-20 hours of manual entry, valued at $500+ in labor savings alone. Add reduced errors—billing mistakes drop 40%, saving $3,000 yearly—and inventory optimization cuts waste by 20%. We benchmark against industry standards from the Automotive Service Association, ensuring projections align with real outcomes. Your exact ROI depends on scale, but our track record shows 3-4x returns annually.
Will this automation integrate with our existing tire supplier portals?
Absolutely. We specialize in deep, bidirectional API integrations with major suppliers like Goodyear or Bridgestone portals. This means automatic order placement when stock hits reorder points, syncing tire specs, pricing, and delivery ETAs directly into your system. No more double-entry errors that delay services. For example, if your inventory dips on truck tires, the AI triggers an order and updates your schedule. We've handled integrations for 50+ automotive clients, ensuring 99% uptime and compliance with supplier data standards.
How do you ensure data security for customer tire service records?
Security is non-negotiable in automotive, where customer data includes vehicle details and payment info. We use enterprise-grade encryption, compliant with GDPR and PCI standards, building your system on secure AWS infrastructure with role-based access controls. Only authorized staff see sensitive logs, like alignment histories. Regular audits and AI-driven anomaly detection prevent breaches. In one deployment, we fortified a tire chain against phishing attempts, maintaining zero incidents over two years—far surpassing industry averages of 28% breach risk for small shops.
Can this scale if my tire shop adds more locations?
Yes, our architecture is designed for scalability. We start with your single-shop setup but build modular components that expand effortlessly—centralized inventory across sites, synced scheduling, and unified reporting. For a client growing from one to three locations, we enabled real-time stock transfers between shops, reducing overstock by 35%. Cloud-based and auto-scaling, it handles volume surges without performance dips, aligning with benchmarks from multi-site operators like Discount Tire.
