What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Quantifiable Gains in Shop Efficiency
Slash Scheduling Time by 15 Hours Weekly
Slash Scheduling Time by 15 Hours Weekly: Body technicians spend less time on manual I-CAR certified calendars and more on collision repairs. Our system auto-populates bays using VIN-based intake data, reducing errors in PDR and frame pulls. Benchmarks from NADA show 25% throughput gains, enabling shops to complete fleet repairs 24 hours faster and boost billable hours.
Achieve 40% ROI Through Cost Reductions
Achieve 40% ROI Through Cost Reductions: Eliminate overtime from double-booked MIG welders or idle spray booths awaiting carrier approvals. AI forecasts durations for tasks like aluminum panel replacements, cutting delays and labor overruns. Shops report 35% fewer rescheduling fees on CCC estimates, delivering competitive edges in high-volume body work.
Boost Productivity with Predictive Slotting
Boost Productivity with Predictive Slotting: Treat your repair calendar like a calibrated chassis alignment system, running smoothly without variances. AI examines historical data from frame straights and clear coat applications to optimize bookings, averting pile-ups in refinish queues. This yields 20% productivity gains, allowing 15% more vehicles processed monthly—without hiring extra estimators.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our shop drowned in manual logs for scheduling Car-O-Liner frame pulls and DuPont paint sessions. Now, Google Calendar syncs seamlessly with our OEM parts inventory, slashing rescheduling calls by 50%. In Q3, we saved 12 hours weekly, redirecting it to extra fender repairs and growing collision revenue by 18% without overtime."
Mike Harlan
Shop Manager, Precision Auto Body
"I doubted automating our bay schedules, but their integration nailed our variable times for aluminum welding and insurance hail damage inspections. No more missed slots, and techs now complete jobs within CCC turnaround guidelines. Post-implementation, customer NPS scores rose 25% in three months—solid investment for streamlined operations."
Sara Lopez
Owner, Elite Collision Repair
"Linking this to our daily VIN scans transformed our ops. We once lost track of post-alignment wheel balances, but AI-driven alerts keep wheel alignments and ADAS calibrations on schedule. Over the first 60 days, no-shows dropped 28%, freeing my service advisors for upselling rustproofing instead of chasing callbacks."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation handle unexpected repair delays, like waiting for a special-order fender?
Our custom AI anticipates these hiccups by monitoring your inventory feeds and historical patterns. When a delay hits, it automatically shifts downstream appointments—like pushing a paint job—while notifying affected customers via integrated SMS. We've tuned this for auto body realities, where part waits average 2-3 days, ensuring minimal downtime. Shops report 25% fewer reschedules, keeping your bays humming. Setup includes your specific supplier APIs for proactive alerts, all built to your workflow without generic assumptions.
Will this integrate with our existing shop software, such as CCC One or Mitchell?
Absolutely. We specialize in deep, two-way integrations with leading automotive tools like CCC One for estimates and Mitchell for parts ordering. Our engineers map data flows to sync repair details directly into Google Calendar, eliminating double-entry. For instance, a new collision intake auto-creates a timeline with phases like disassembly and alignment. This creates a unified view, reducing errors by 40% per industry benchmarks. We handle the custom coding, so it's plug-and-play for your team, with full ownership of the connections.
What kind of time savings can a typical auto body shop expect?
Based on our deployments, shops save 15-20 hours weekly on scheduling alone. Manual tasks like confirming bays for frame straightening or chasing down tech availability vanish, freeing staff for billable work. One client cut admin time from 8 hours to 2 per day, boosting overall productivity by 22%. ROI kicks in fast—often within 2 months—through reduced overtime and higher vehicle throughput. We quantify this upfront with your data, ensuring measurable gains tailored to your operation's scale.
Is the system secure for handling customer vehicle data and insurance details?
Security is non-negotiable in automotive, where you're dealing with VINs and claim info. We build with enterprise-grade encryption, compliant with standards like GDPR and auto industry regs. Data stays in your controlled environment—no cloud leaks. Features include role-based access, so only estimators see full schedules, and audit logs track every change. Unlike rented tools prone to breaches, our owned system lets you dictate policies, giving peace of mind during busy seasons when data volume spikes.
How long does it take to implement this for our shop?
From consultation to live, it's typically 4-6 weeks for a standard setup, depending on your current tools. We start with a quick audit of your calendars and software, then prototype in week 2. Testing mirrors real scenarios, like a rush of hail-damaged cars, to iron out kinks. Launch includes hands-on training for your front office and techs. Post-go-live, we monitor for the first month, tweaking as needed. This phased approach minimizes disruption, letting you see efficiency wins almost immediately without halting operations.
Can we scale this if our shop expands or adds services like detailing?
Yes, our architecture is designed for growth. As you add bays or services, the AI adapts—auto-incorporating new categories like detailing slots into the calendar logic. We've scaled systems for shops doubling in size, handling 50% more appointments without added complexity. Custom modules let you expand integrations, say with new CRM for fleet clients. Unlike rigid templates, this evolves with you, maintaining that 30% efficiency edge even as volumes rise, backed by our proven scalable frameworks.
