Why Choose Us
Our bespoke lead scoring system for auto repair shops is engineered from the ground up to handle your growth without limits. Like upgrading from a standard sedan to a heavy-duty truck that hauls more without breaking a sweat, this AI analyzes lead behaviors—such as website searches for 'emergency brake repair' or repeat inquiries about exhaust systems—to assign precise scores. No more generic tools that crumble under volume. We integrate deeply with your CRM, shop management software, and even Google Analytics, creating a unified engine that scales seamlessly as you add bays or locations. Proven to deliver 35% faster lead-to-booking cycles, it's built for the realities of auto repair: unpredictable walk-ins, seasonal surges, and the need for rapid response.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Unlimited Growth in Your Shop's Pipeline
Prioritize High-Conversion Leads Effortlessly
Prioritize High-Conversion Leads Effortlessly: Imagine your service advisors zeroing in on leads searching for 'AC repair near me' during summer heatwaves, scoring them highest based on query urgency and location proximity. Our system results in 40% more booked appointments for refrigerant recharges and compressor diagnostics, freeing up hours for actual wrench time instead of cold calls on low-value inquiries.
Scale Without Bottlenecks as Your Business Expands
Scale Without Bottlenecks as Your Business Expands: As your shop grows from one location to a chain handling 500+ vehicles weekly, including fleet tire rotations and alignments, our enterprise-ready platform adapts automatically with multi-site lead routing. No more lead overload causing missed fleet contracts—handle volume spikes like a well-tuned engine, maintaining 99.9% uptime even during end-of-warranty service rushes.
Boost Revenue with Predictive Insights
Boost Revenue with Predictive Insights: Leverage AI to forecast which leads will convert to high-ticket services like engine diagnostics and timing belt replacements within 30 days. Shops using our system see 25% revenue uplift in the first quarter from upselling to full overhauls, turning data into dollars without the subscription sprawl of generic CRM tools.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our team was drowning in leads from Google Ads for routine oil changes, but half never showed for the actual lube and filter service. Their scoring system now flags the serious ones—like a fleet operator needing 20 alignments for delivery vans—and we've doubled our monthly bookings in just three months without hiring extra staff, focusing instead on high-margin exhaust repairs."
Mike Rodriguez
Service Manager, Precision Auto Repair, a 3-location chain in Texas specializing in fleet maintenance
"Scaling to our second shop meant more leads but chaos in prioritization for urgent brake pad replacements. The AI lead scoring integrated with our QuickBooks and shop management software like Mitchell1, scoring based on past behaviors like urgent tire inquiries during rainy seasons. It's cut our follow-up time by 60%, and we're hitting growth targets we thought were out of reach, now servicing 300 vehicles weekly across sites."
Sarah Jenkins
Owner, Reliable Rides Garage, an independent auto repair shop in California expanding to EV diagnostics
"We were losing money on low-intent website visitors asking about basic inspections for suspension noise. After implementing their custom model, it predicts high-value leads for transmission work with scary accuracy, prioritizing fluid leaks and solenoid failures. Revenue from services jumped 35% last quarter, and the system's scalability means we're ready for our planned expansion to handle hybrid vehicle repairs."

What's Included
Common Questions
How does the lead scoring system integrate with my existing auto shop software?
We start by mapping your current setup, whether it's Tekmetric, Shopmonkey, or even custom in-house tools. Our engineers build deep, two-way API connections that pull in lead data—like inquiry types for brake pads or timing belts—in real time. This creates a unified flow where scores appear directly in your workflow, eliminating manual entry. For example, a lead searching 'transmission flush near me' gets scored and flagged instantly in your CRM. The integration is scalable, handling growth from 100 to 1,000 leads monthly without hiccups, and we provide full documentation for your team to maintain it long-term. Shops typically see setup complete in 4-6 weeks, with immediate prioritization benefits.
What makes this lead scoring specific to auto repair challenges?
Unlike generic systems, ours is tuned for the automotive world—think prioritizing leads with urgent needs like 'check engine light' over vague inquiries. We train the AI on your shop's data, incorporating factors such as service history patterns, local traffic data for alignment needs, and seasonal spikes like summer AC repairs. This results in scores that reflect real conversion likelihood, say 80% for fleet tire rotations versus 20% for casual browsers. We've helped shops reduce wasted follow-ups by 50%, focusing efforts on high-value services. It's all custom-built, so it evolves with your business, avoiding one-size-fits-all pitfalls that ignore auto-specific pain points like no-show rates from unqualified walk-ins.
Can the system scale if my shop expands to multiple locations?
Absolutely, scalability is core to our design—like a robust chassis that supports added weight without strain. The enterprise architecture handles increased lead volume across sites, aggregating data from each location's inquiries (e.g., one shop's exhaust leads combined with another's battery demands) into a central scoring engine. No bottlenecks; it processes thousands of leads daily with sub-second response times. For a chain growing from two to five shops, we ensure location-specific scoring while providing chain-wide insights. Clients report seamless transitions, maintaining 40% conversion gains even at scale, because we build on advanced frameworks, not fragile plugins. Your growth drives our optimizations, keeping everything efficient.
How accurate is the AI in predicting which leads will convert?
Our models achieve 90-95% accuracy after initial training, far surpassing industry benchmarks of 60% for basic tools. We use your historical data—past bookings for oil changes or diagnostics—to fine-tune predictions, factoring in signals like repeat website visits or specific searches for 'EV charging port repair.' In one deployment, a shop's accuracy jumped from random guessing to identifying 70% of high-ticket transmission leads upfront. We continuously refine with machine learning, adapting to trends like rising hybrid service demands. Transparency is key: you get confidence scores and audit trails, so your team trusts and acts on them, leading to 30% faster close rates without the guesswork.
What data does the system use to score leads, and is it secure?
We leverage ethical, consented data sources: website interactions, form submissions, call logs, and CRM entries, all anonymized to focus on patterns like 'urgent radiator leak' urgency without personal identifiers unless you opt-in. For auto shops, this includes vehicle type inferences from inquiries to predict service needs. Security is enterprise-grade—encrypted at rest and in transit, compliant with GDPR and CCPA, with role-based access so only authorized staff see scores. We've audited our builds for vulnerabilities, ensuring no breaches in high-volume environments. Shops appreciate the control: you own the data, and we provide tools to purge or export it anytime, building trust in an industry where customer vehicle info is sensitive.
How long does it take to see results from the lead scoring implementation?
Most shops notice improvements within the first two weeks post-launch, with full ROI in 1-3 months. Initially, we train the model on 6-12 months of your data, scoring leads immediately upon integration. Early wins include 25% fewer low-quality follow-ups, as seen in a client who redirected efforts to scored fleet maintenance leads, booking 15 extra jobs in month one. As the AI learns from ongoing data—like post-winter surge patterns—accuracy and conversions climb steadily. We monitor and tweak during a 30-day optimization phase, ensuring scalability for growth. It's not overnight magic, but the efficiency gains compound quickly, often paying for itself through increased repair revenue.
