Join 250+ automotive businesses with 3x more qualified leads
The "Lead Drought" Problem
Local drivers bypass your shop for Amazon tire deals on all-season radials and winter snow tires
Manual phone chasing wastes hours on low-intent inquiries for basic tire rotations and pressure checks
Seasonal demand spikes overwhelm your lead tracking during winter tire changeovers and snow chain installations
Competitors snag fleet contracts because your leads aren't enriched with vehicle data like axle configurations and DOT tire ratings
Generic ads fail to target drivers with specific tire wear patterns like cupping from suspension misalignment or feathering on rear-wheel drive vehicles
Missed walk-ins from out-of-town semis needing emergency tire repairs for blowouts or sidewall damage on highways
Tailored AI Lead Engines That Fit Your Tire Shop Workflow
With over 8 years engineering AI for automotive SMBs, we've helped 150+ shops replace chaotic lead tools with unified systems that deliver results.
Why Choose Us
We don't push cookie-cutter software. Instead, AIQ Labs builds a custom AI lead generation engine tuned to your tire shop's realities—from tracking local search trends for 'flat tire repair near me' to enriching leads with vehicle mileage data. Like upgrading from a mismatched spare tire to a precision wheel alignment, our solution fits your exact operations. We integrate directly with your scheduling software, pulling in details like bay availability during peak oil change seasons. The result? A steady stream of qualified leads that convert faster, without the hassle of juggling multiple vendor logins.
What Makes Us Different:
Drive More Revenue with Precision Leads
Triple Your Local Bookings
Triple Your Local Bookings: Our AI identifies drivers within 20 miles searching for tire balancing or alignments, delivering 3x more appointments. Shops report filling 70% of bays during slow months with services like flat repairs and wheel alignments, turning idle time into steady cash flow from $150 average tickets.
Cut Lead Qualification Time by 60%
Cut Lead Qualification Time by 60%: No more sifting through vague inquiries. The system auto-enriches leads with details like vehicle type, tire size needs, and mileage history, so your team focuses on closing deals—like upselling all-season tires to SUV owners with over 50,000 miles—boosting average ticket sizes by 25% within the first 90 days.
Scale for Seasonal Surges
Scale for Seasonal Surges: Handle winter tire rushes without extra staff. AI automates outreach to past customers for changeovers to Michelin X-Ice or Bridgestone Blizzak tires, increasing repeat business by 45% and preventing revenue dips when demand spikes like a sudden pothole season, ensuring 95% lead follow-up within 24 hours.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, we were chasing shadows with generic Facebook ads—lots of clicks, zero tire installs for our Yokohama or Goodyear radials. Their custom system started pulling in locals with actual tire pressure issues from underinflated summer tires, and in the first quarter, we booked 42 extra alignments at $120 each. It's like having a digital scout spotting customers before they even know they need us during pothole season."
Mike Reynolds
Owner, Reynolds Tire Service
"Our old lead forms were buried under spam from random inquiries. AIQ built something that scans repair shop reviews and targets fleet guys complaining about downtime from retread failures on 22.5-inch steer tires. We landed a contract for 150 semi tires last month, including bulk orders of Michelin commercial radials—first time in years we beat the big chains on volume and saved 20% on procurement costs."
Sara Patel
Manager, Patel's Auto Tires
"I was skeptical about AI for a small shop, but their lead engine integrated with our QuickBooks and caught a wave of summer tire changes for high-mileage sedans we almost missed, targeting patterns like dry rot on 15-inch alloys. Leads jumped 2.5x in two months, and we're finally profitable without burning ad dollars on duds, adding $8,000 in monthly revenue from rotations and balances."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your AI handle seasonal fluctuations in tire shop leads?
Our custom models analyze historical data alongside external factors like weather forecasts and regional events. For instance, during a predicted snowstorm, the system ramps up outreach to past customers for winter tire swaps, prioritizing those with SUVs based on your sales records. This proactive approach has helped shops increase leads by 55% in peak seasons. We build flexibility into the engine, allowing quick adjustments for events like road construction that spike pothole-related inquiries. Unlike static tools, it's adaptive to your shop's unique cycles, ensuring steady flow year-round without manual tweaks.
What data sources does the lead generation use for tire shops?
We pull from targeted, ethical sources: local Google My Business reviews mentioning tire issues, automotive forums like Tire Rack discussions, and public vehicle registration trends. The AI enriches this with your internal data—past service logs, customer VINs—to score leads accurately. For example, it flags a lead if their vehicle matches patterns for frequent blowouts. No shady scraping; everything complies with data laws. Shops see 2x better quality because it's hyper-local, focusing on 50-mile radii around your location, unlike broad national databases that waste time on irrelevant prospects.
How long does it take to see results from your custom lead system?
Typically, we deliver the first leads within 2-4 weeks after launch, with full optimization in 6-8 weeks. We start with a quick audit of your current setup, build the AI core in 3 weeks, then integrate and test. Early wins come from immediate scraping of active sources, like ongoing local searches for 'emergency tire repair.' One shop saw 18 qualified leads in the first month, converting to $12K in tire sales. It's faster than off-the-shelf tools because we tailor to your workflow—no learning curve on mismatched interfaces. Ongoing monitoring ensures metrics improve monthly.
Can this integrate with my existing tire shop software?
Absolutely. We specialize in deep, two-way integrations with platforms like Mitchell1, ALLDATA, or even custom POS systems. For a tire shop, this means leads auto-populate with details like recommended tire PSI, syncing bay schedules to avoid double-bookings during rush hours. We've connected to over 20 automotive tools, creating a unified view where a new lead for wheel balancing instantly checks inventory. If your setup is quirky, our engineers handle custom APIs. This eliminates the 'subscription chaos' of disconnected apps, saving your team 15+ hours weekly on data entry.
Is the AI lead system secure for handling customer vehicle information?
Security is non-negotiable. We use enterprise-grade encryption for all data, including sensitive details like VINs and service histories, compliant with automotive standards like those from the NADA. Access is role-based—only your front desk sees lead basics, while managers get full analytics. Regular audits and updates protect against breaches, unlike generic tools prone to leaks. In one deployment, we secured a shop's 5,000-customer database without a hitch, ensuring trust as leads discuss personal vehicle needs. You own the system, so data stays in-house, not on some vendor's cloud.
How much does a custom lead generation solution cost for a tire shop?
Pricing starts at $8,500 for the build, plus $750/month for maintenance and scaling—far below juggling multiple lead gen subscriptions that average $2,000 monthly for lesser results. We base it on your shop size: a 4-bay operation might invest $12K upfront for full integration, seeing ROI in 3 months via 40 extra tire jobs. No hidden fees; we provide a detailed quote after discovery, factoring in features like fleet targeting. Compared to agencies charging $15K for templated setups, our custom approach delivers 2.5x leads, making it a proven investment for efficiency-focused shops.
