What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we were buried in manual parts orders for OEM filters and belts—delays were killing us during peak summer tire season. Now, the system predicts needs two weeks out using historical VIN data, and we've cut wait times from days to hours. Saved us about 18 hours a week on inventory checks, no exaggeration."
Mike Harlan
Service Manager, Harlan's Auto Repair in Denver, CO
"Integrating our old pen-and-paper scheduling with lift bay assignments was a nightmare; techs were double-booked for alignments constantly. Their custom AI fixed it overnight by syncing with our shop management software, and our daily vehicle throughput jumped 40%. ROI hit in four months on reduced no-shows—real numbers from our bay logs, not fluff."
Sara Lopez
Owner, Lopez Automotive Services in Austin, TX
"We used to chase invoices manually for engine diagnostics and exhaust repairs, leading to cash flow headaches from disputed labor hours. This automation handles approvals, e-signatures, and payments flawlessly via integrated RO tracking, reducing errors by 90%. Our team loves the real-time dashboard; it's like having an extra advisor for admin during busy warranty seasons."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your automation handle fluctuating parts demand in auto repair?
Our custom AI models analyze historical repair data, seasonal trends, and even local weather patterns to forecast parts needs accurately. For instance, we factor in higher brake jobs during rainy seasons. This prevents the common 20-30% overstock that ties up $10,000+ in capital for mid-sized shops. We integrate directly with your inventory system, triggering automatic reorders when stock dips below thresholds. Shops typically see a 25% reduction in emergency supplier runs within the first quarter, freeing technicians for billable work instead of chasing parts.
Can this system integrate with our existing shop management software?
Absolutely. We specialize in deep, two-way integrations with platforms like Shop-Ware, Tekmetric, or even legacy systems. Unlike superficial connections that break during updates, our engineers build robust APIs ensuring data flows seamlessly—repair notes update inventory in real-time, for example. This creates a single source of truth, eliminating the 15 hours weekly lost to manual data entry. We've done this for over 100 automotive clients, achieving 99% uptime and reducing errors by 85%. Your workflow stays intact; we just make it smarter.
What kind of time savings can a typical auto shop expect?
Based on our deployments, shops save 20-25 hours per week on admin tasks alone. Scheduling, which often takes 10 hours manually, drops to minutes with AI optimizing bays and sending confirmations. Add in automated invoicing and parts tracking, and you're looking at a 40% overall efficiency gain. One client, a 10-bay operation, reclaimed 120 hours monthly, allowing two extra jobs per day. ROI kicks in fast—often 3-6 months—through higher throughput and fewer no-shows, directly boosting revenue without adding staff.
Is the system customizable for different shop sizes?
Yes, we tailor everything to your scale—from solo mechanics to multi-location chains. For smaller shops, we focus on core automations like appointment booking and basic inventory. Larger ones get advanced features like cross-shop dashboards and predictive analytics for fleet services. It's not one-size-fits-all; we start with your specific bottlenecks, like handling high-volume alignments or specialty EV repairs. This custom approach ensures scalability—start simple, expand as you grow—without the bloat of enterprise software that overwhelms SMBs. Our track record shows 3x ROI for shops of all sizes.
How secure is the data in your AI automation for customer vehicles?
Security is paramount in automotive, where VINs and repair histories are sensitive. We use enterprise-grade encryption and comply with standards like SOC 2 and automotive-specific regs for data handling. Your info stays on your servers or our secure cloud, with role-based access so only authorized techs see details. Unlike subscription tools with shared data risks, our owned systems give you full control—no third-party access. We've audited integrations for 150+ clients, preventing breaches that could cost shops $50,000+ in fines or lost trust. Regular updates keep everything fortified.
What support do you provide after deployment?
Post-launch, we offer ongoing optimization, not just a handoff. Our team monitors performance for the first 90 days, tweaking algorithms based on your shop's data—like adjusting for peak summer AC repairs. You get a dedicated support portal for quick fixes and monthly check-ins to measure KPIs such as time saved per job. This ensures sustained 30-40% efficiency gains. Unlike agencies that vanish, we're partners in your success, with 24/7 emergency access for critical issues. Clients report 95% satisfaction, turning initial setups into long-term assets.
