What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Efficiency in Your Detailing Operations
Precision Lead Targeting for Premium Services
Precision Lead Targeting for Premium Services: Our AI analyzes vehicle registration data and social media profiles to identify owners of luxury sedans and SUVs seeking high-end services, boosting conversion rates by 35% on average within the first quarter. No more chasing bargain hunters—focus on clients seeking $500+ ceramic coatings and PPF applications that fill your bays with profitable, repeat detailing work year-round.
Automated Qualification to Reduce No-Shows
Automated Qualification to Reduce No-Shows: Built-in scoring uses SMS reminders and service history checks to filter out flaky inquiries for paint correction jobs, ensuring 75% of leads arrive ready to book within 48 hours. This cuts your follow-up time in half, letting your team concentrate on buffing out swirl marks rather than cold-calling ghosts during peak seasons.
Scalable Growth Without Hiring More Staff
Scalable Growth Without Hiring More Staff: Handle 2x the lead volume with the same team, as our system automates nurturing for seasonal peaks like spring pollen removal and fall wheel detailing. Shops see 25% revenue lift in under six months from increased bookings of headlight restoration and engine bay cleans, all while owning the tech outright for long-term control.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we were burning $2,000 a month on Facebook ads for paint correction leads that mostly no-showed during our slow winter months. Their custom AI system started targeting local Audi and Mercedes owners specifically inquiring about Gtechniq ceramic coatings—our bookings surged 45% in just three months, and we're no longer scrambling for winter revenue from interior refreshes."
Mike Rivera
Owner, Precision Auto Detail & Coatings, Denver CO
"As a mobile detailing operator, coordinating leads from weekend car meets was chaotic and time-consuming. The AI solution from AIQ Labs scrapes enthusiast forums and qualifies prospects based on high-performance vehicles like Mustangs and Subarus that we specialize in. Last quarter alone, we secured three fleet contracts for quarterly truck detailing worth $15K in recurring revenue—no more endless manual emails or calls."
Sarah Chen
Founder & Lead Detailer, ShineOn Mobile Detailing Services, Austin TX
"Off-the-shelf lead gen tools couldn't accommodate our niche in eco-friendly interior detailing with plant-based products. AIQ's custom setup integrated seamlessly with our booking software and targeted hybrid and EV drivers via local green auto groups. We've doubled our high-margin fabric protection jobs in four months, and owning the platform means no ongoing fees for software that glitches during busy pollen seasons."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your AI lead generation differ from standard Google Ads for auto detailing?
Unlike Google Ads, which blast generic traffic and waste 60-70% of budget on unqualified clicks, our custom AI system targets hyper-specific prospects—like owners of luxury SUVs in your zip code searching for protective coatings. We scrape niche sources such as local car forums and enrich with vehicle data to score leads on conversion potential. This results in 3x higher booking rates, as seen in our clients who shifted from ads to our engine and cut costs by 50% while doubling appointments. It's built for your workflow, integrating directly with scheduling to automate the handoff, ensuring no lead slips through the cracks during busy seasons.
What kind of data sources does the system use for detailing leads?
We focus on automotive-relevant sources to avoid irrelevant noise. The AI scrapes public listings from sites like AutoTrader, local Facebook car groups, and review platforms like Yelp where users rave about vehicle maintenance. It also pulls from event calendars for car shows and auto expos, enriching with details like vehicle make/model from DMV proxies or social profiles. For example, if your shop excels in electric vehicle detailing, it prioritizes Tesla owners in your area. All data is anonymized and compliant, delivering 200-500 qualified leads monthly tailored to your services, without the broad-net approach that floods you with low-value inquiries.
How long does it take to see results from the custom lead generation setup?
Most detailing shops notice initial leads within 2-4 weeks post-launch, with full optimization hitting stride by month two. We start with a rapid discovery phase to map your ideal client—say, repeat customers for monthly interior refreshes—then deploy the scraping and enrichment engine. Early wins include a 25% uptick in qualified inquiries, scaling to 40% growth as the AI learns from your booking patterns. One client, a mid-sized shop, went from 15 sporadic leads to 80 consistent ones in 45 days, filling winter slots that used to sit empty. Our hands-on tuning ensures quick adaptation to your unique challenges, like competing with big-box car washes.
Is this system scalable if my detailing business expands to multiple locations?
Absolutely—our architecture is designed for growth, handling multi-site operations without a hitch. The core AI engine centralizes lead gen but geo-fences results to each location, targeting local traffic for, say, your downtown shop's quick polishes versus a suburban one's full restores. We use modular APIs for easy scaling, adding bays or new services like PPF installation without rebuilding. Clients expanding from one to three locations saw lead volume triple with no added overhead, maintaining 85% qualification rates. Ownership means you control the scaling, avoiding the per-location fees that plague subscription models and keep costs predictable as you grow.
What happens if the leads don't match our specific detailing specialties?
We mitigate this through iterative customization from the start. During onboarding, we ingest your service menu—detailing packages, pricing for add-ons like odor neutralization—and train the AI to filter accordingly. If a lead batch skews toward basic washes over your premium offerings, we refine the scraping parameters and scoring in real-time, often within days. For instance, a client specializing in classic car restorations adjusted filters to exclude modern sedans, boosting relevant leads by 55%. Ongoing monitoring includes weekly reports on match quality, with our team tweaking until it aligns perfectly with your workflow, ensuring every lead drives revenue, not rework.
Do I need technical expertise to maintain the lead generation system?
No— we design it for non-technical users like shop owners focused on buffing and shining. The unified dashboard provides simple controls for monitoring leads, pausing sources during peak seasons, or exporting to your phone for mobile follow-ups. Maintenance is minimal; our production-grade code runs autonomously, with automatic updates for new data sources like emerging EV forums. If tweaks are needed, like prioritizing leads for hybrid detailing, our support handles it via a quick call—no coding required. This shifts you from tool-juggling to business-running, as one owner put it: 'It's like having an extra mechanic who never sleeps, but for leads.' Full ownership includes documentation for any in-house adjustments down the line.
