What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's system, we were buried under calls from folks just curious about bumper scratches and minor fender benders. Now, it flags the real collision cases right away—our estimators booked three $5K frame jobs, including a full chassis pull, in the first week alone, and we're not chasing shadows anymore."
Mike Reynolds
Shop Manager, Precision Auto Body, Denver
"Integrated this with our Shop-Ware setup last quarter. The AI caught insurance leads we almost missed for dent removal and panel beating, turning a slow month into our best ever with 28% more conversions on paint and body work. It's like having an extra estimator who never sleeps."
Sarah Lopez
Operations Director, Elite Collision Center, Atlanta
"We deal with fleet managers daily, but scoring helped us prioritize urgent van repairs like axle alignments over one-off inquiries for oil changes. Closed $15K in contracts in two months that we would've overlooked—game-changer for our efficiency in high-volume fleet maintenance."

Owner, Whitaker Fleet Services, Chicago

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your lead scoring differ from standard CRM tools for auto body shops?
Unlike off-the-shelf CRMs that apply blanket rules, our custom AI digs into automotive nuances—like distinguishing a fender-bender inquiry from a full frame rebuild based on keywords, location data, and past behavior. We train it on your shop's data, achieving 40% better accuracy in prioritizing leads that convert to actual bay time. This means your team focuses on $2K+ jobs, not $200 touch-ups, with seamless integration to avoid double-entry hassles. Over six months, shops see ROI through 25% faster closes.
What data sources does the system use for auto body lead scoring?
We pull from your website forms, phone logs, Google Ads for 'collision repair,' and even insurance referral APIs. The AI analyzes specifics like damage descriptions, vehicle models prone to certain repairs, and urgency indicators from call transcripts. For instance, it flags 'rear-end collision' leads higher if they're from high-traffic areas. All data stays secure in your owned system, with no third-party dependencies, ensuring it evolves with your shop's seasonal patterns like winter salt damage spikes.
How long does it take to implement lead scoring for our shop?
Typically 4-6 weeks from kickoff to live deployment. Week one: We map your workflow, reviewing past leads from tools like your estimating software. Weeks two-three: Build and train the model on anonymized data. Final weeks: Integrate with your CRM, test with live inquiries, and train your team. Post-launch, we monitor for two weeks to tweak scoring for accuracy. This phased approach minimizes disruption, so you see scored leads flowing during peak times without halting operations.
Can this system handle seasonal fluctuations in auto body inquiries?
Absolutely—it's designed for the cyclical nature of your industry. The AI incorporates external factors like weather APIs for hail predictions or accident stats from local DOT data, adjusting scores dynamically. During spring storm seasons, it prioritizes weather-related damage leads, helping shops like yours book 35% more slots. We build in flexibility, so as your inquiry volume jumps from 100 to 400 weekly, the system scales without lag, maintaining 95% uptime and delivering insights on emerging trends like EV repair demands.
What kind of results have other auto body shops seen?
Clients report 30-50% reductions in time spent on unqualified leads, translating to more bay hours for profitable work. One mid-sized shop in Texas cut follow-ups by 60%, adding $120K in annual revenue from better-prioritized insurance claims. We measure success via custom KPIs like lead-to-quote conversion rates, which often double from the industry 18% benchmark. Ongoing support ensures sustained gains, with quarterly reviews to adapt to changes like new repair tech or market shifts.
Is the lead scoring system secure for handling customer vehicle data?
Security is paramount in automotive, where VINs and claim details are sensitive. We use enterprise-grade encryption, role-based access, and compliance with standards like SOC 2 and auto-specific regs. Data never leaves your controlled environment—no cloud sharing with vendors. Features include audit logs for every score and automatic purging of inactive leads. This protects against breaches that cost shops thousands in fines, while our custom builds avoid the vulnerabilities of generic tools.
